00:00Amelia Earhart is on one of the final legs of her historic flight around the world, when something goes terribly wrong.
00:20Who was D.B. Cooper?
00:23Did he survive?
00:30In 2018, the police responded to a 911 call at the home of James and Denise Clausen Barron, Wisconsin.
00:37Inside, they discovered a horrible scene.
00:40The couple had been murdered and their teenage daughter, Jamie, was missing.
00:46Each day I wake up with a new, refreshed hope.
00:50Today is going to be the day.
00:52I still feel she's going to come home.
00:54My heart tells me.
00:56And I won't give that up.
00:58For 88 distressing days, the authorities looked for her, but they couldn't find any clue.
01:05Then, on January 10, 2019, she mysteriously appeared in the forest where she met a woman from the area who took her to a neighbor's house.
01:14Investigators later learned that Jake Thomas Patterson had killed his parents that night and had kidnapped her for his own sexual satisfaction.
01:23He was arrested that same day and sentenced to two consecutive life sentences, plus 40 additional years.
01:30Patterson was given two life sentences without parole for the murders, the maximum 40 years for Jamie's kidnapping.
01:36The judge calling him the embodiment of evil.
02:01It was the last time they saw them.
02:03When he was interrogated, Robert gave contradictory versions and stated at one point that he had escaped from his apartment and at another that he had left them at his mother's house.
02:13Despite these discrepancies, the police classified the brothers as fugitives and did not carry out an exhaustive investigation.
02:21It was not until the 2000s when they were reclassified as missing in danger and added to the database of missing people from the government.
02:32Number 28. Johnny Gosch.
02:34On September 5, 1982, a newspaper distributor in West Des Moines, Iowa, disappeared during his morning route.
02:43At first, West Des Moines police treated the disappearance as an abduction and launched a big search that included several law enforcement agencies.
02:50Several witnesses stated that they had seen him talk to a mysterious man in a blue car shortly before he disappeared.
02:57While another claimed to have seen a silver car that was moving at full speed near the place where Gosch's vehicle had been.
03:05Since then, the case has received a lot of publicity, but the authorities have not advanced in determining who took it or what it was.
03:13In 1997, his mother, Noreen, stated that her son had visited her briefly with an unidentified man, but left without revealing where he was going.
03:23West Des Moines police officers said that Noreen had told similar stories before, only to recant them later.
03:30There were never any witnesses that verified her claim.
03:33The validity of this statement is still doubtful, and despite other unconfirmed sightings, Gosch is still officially missing.
03:41Number 27. Amy Lynn Bradley.
03:43In 1998, Amy Lynn Bradley had just graduated from college and was preparing to start a new job when she joined her family on a Caribbean cruise to Curaçao.
03:55Around 6 a.m. on March 24, her father discovered that she had disappeared from the balcony where she had fallen asleep.
04:14All efforts to find her on the cruise were useless, as the crew delayed the announcement of her disappearance until after most of the passengers had disembarked.
04:25Over the years, various theories have emerged, such as that she was kidnapped and a victim of human trafficking, that she fell overboard and drowned, or that she took her own life.
04:36There have also been possible sightings of Bradley in Curaçao, but none have led to her reuniting with her family.
04:51Number 26. Ronald Tammin.
04:53Ronald Tammin, a 19-year-old second-year student at the University of Miami in Ohio, mysteriously disappeared on the night of April 19, 1953.
05:07In an open textbook, the radio was still playing. All of his personal facts, including his wallet and car keys, were still in the room.
05:15The last person who saw him was the person in charge of his residence, who gave him new sheets around 8 p.m. after someone put a fish in his bed as a joke.
05:26At 10.30, when his roommate returned, Tammin had disappeared, leaving behind his coat, wallet and car keys.
05:34Although he denounced the disappearance the next day, the school authorities took several days to take action.
05:41A woman from a nearby town claimed that that night a disoriented and dirty man like Tammin knocked on her door and asked for an address.
05:56This, along with other sightings of which it has been reported, have not yet helped the authorities know what happened to Ronald.
06:03Number 25. Tara Calico.
06:05On June 15, 1989, a woman found a Polaroid photo in a store in Florida.
06:12The nationwide frenzy brings a second family into the spotlight.
06:16The mothers of Mike and Tara were strangers only a week ago. Now they are brought together in a common cause, a national effort to find their missing children.
06:25The image showed a young woman and a child, both tied and gagged, apparently on the back of a truck.
06:32Many believed that it was Tara Calico, who had disappeared almost a year earlier during her routine bike ride near her house in Belén, Nuevo México.
06:40Neither she nor her bike were found, and the authorities only recovered pieces of her Walkman Sunny and a cassette tape.
06:48Scotland Yard identified the woman in the photo as Calico, but the FBI analysis was not conclusive.
06:55Her whereabouts remain a mystery, but in 2023, the Valencia County Sheriff's Office announced new clues about the case.
07:19Number 24. Timothy Pitson.
07:21On May 11, 2011, James Pitson left his son Timothy at school, but when he returned later that day, he discovered that he had disappeared.
07:37Shortly after 8 a.m., Timothy's mother, Amy Frye Pitson, had picked him up and taken him on a trip to amusement parks, tourist complexes and zoos.
07:47He was last seen two days later in a security recording.
07:51On May 14, Amy's body was found in a motel room.
07:55He had taken his own life, and had left a note saying that Timothy was safe, but that they would never find him.
08:02According to these words, no trace of him has appeared.
08:05According to these words, no trace of him has appeared.
08:09In 2019, hope resurfaced briefly when a Kentucky teenager claimed to be Timothy, but unfortunately it turned out to be a hoax.
08:28Number 23. Brian Schaffer.
08:30Brian Schaffer, a medical student at Ohio State University, went out with some friends to celebrate the beginning of the spring holidays in 2006.
08:39As the night progressed, Schaffer separated from the group and his friends assumed that he had gone home without notifying them.
08:51But when he did not appear the following days and missed a flight that he had planned for a long time, his disappearance was reported.
08:59Security recordings of the bar entrance captured Schaffer interacting briefly with two women, but did not show signs that he had left.
09:08The only possible way out was through a work area, so it would have been difficult for him to walk, especially if he was drunk.
09:15This strange series of events has raised several questions about his fate that the authorities have not been able to solve.
09:22The people closest to Brian still hope that one day they'll learn the truth.
09:37Investigators at the time had reason to believe that she took some items with her out of the house and that she left the house and walked south on Highway 18 toward the city of Shelby.
09:52And that Asha's brother, O'Brien, was asleep in his own bed.
09:55Strangely, it seemed that he had made the suitcase and had simply left the house.
10:00Around 4 a.m., several motorists saw her walking alone down the road, and when one of them approached her, she fled into the forest, where she was never seen again.
10:10Months later, she found Asha's bag in a work with objects that did not belong to her.
10:15For years, the case did not throw significant clues, until in September 2024, the authorities classified her disappearance as a homicide and named two suspects.
10:27It's important here, we know that no one has been charged. Investigators took DNA from Roy and Connie Dedman.
10:34They also took a green car and several other items, including a camera, computers and phones.
10:56Nancy Beaumont thought her three children would be home by 1 o'clock. Increasingly panicked, she waited as bus after bus returned from the beach without them.
11:26No trace of the children was found. Throughout the decades, there have been countless suspicions and theories about their disappearance, but none has given concrete answers.
11:36Unfortunately, both parents died without knowing the fate of their three children.
11:57In June 2005, Ryan Chambers embarked on a spiritual journey to India with his friend John Booker.
12:05However, after a while, Stacia realized that Chambers did not sleep much and began to act strangely.
12:12Then, at the first hour of the morning of August 24, the 21-year-old Australian young man left his ashram without more clothes than short pants.
12:21He left all his belongings and a disturbing note that said, if I'm not there, don't worry, I'm not dead, I'm freeing minds, but first I have to free mine.
12:31No one has seen or known anything about him since then. An exhaustive search began, but after not finding anything for years, he was legally declared dead in 2023.
12:43Number 19. The missing trio from Fort Worth.
12:47Rachel Trulisa, Renee Wilson and Julie Ann Mosley were shopping at Fort Worth's Seminary South mall in Texas when they disappeared.
12:58The girls did not return to their respective homes, which led their families to make a search.
13:03They found Trulisa's car in the parking lot with several gifts, which indicated that the girls had returned to the vehicle at some point, but the trio did not appear anywhere.
13:16Later, Trulisa's husband received a letter allegedly written by her in which he said that he had gone to Houston to escape and that they would return in a week, but they never appeared and are still missing.
13:28Since then, the families have questioned the authenticity of the letter.
13:34Number 18. Brandon Swanson.
13:41On May 14, 2008, Brandon Swanson, from Minnesota, returned home by car after a night of partying.
13:48After falling into a ditch, the 19-year-old student called his parents and asked them to pick him up.
13:54They remained on the phone with him for the next 47 minutes, but could not find him, in the place where he was supposedly.
14:04During the call, he asked his father to meet him at a local bar, but shortly after he said a rude thing and remained silent.
14:17The investigators discovered that the young man was actually about 40 kilometers from where he thought he was.
14:23It is thought that he fell into the Yellow Medicine River and drowned.
14:27Hence the sudden curse.
14:29Number 17. Bobby Dunbar.
14:32Bobby Dunbar disappeared on a family fishing trip on August 23, 1912.
14:42The authorities found a child who coincided with his description with a name called William Walters,
14:49who insisted that the boy was actually called Bruce Anderson, which was corroborated by his mother Julia,
14:55who claimed that she had allowed her son to go on an excursion with him.
14:59The boy went to trial and Anderson was finally handed over to the Dunbars, with whom he lived the rest of his life.
15:05As he could not pay a lawyer, Julia lost the case and saw her reputation stained in the media.
15:11However, subsequent DNA tests showed that the boy was not actually Dunbar, which gave more credibility to Julia's story.
15:19Number 16. Margaret Fox.
15:22In 1974, Margaret Fox announced her services as a babysitter and attracted the attention of a man named John Marshall.
15:29He got in touch with her and told her to meet him at Mount Holly, New Jersey.
15:34The young woman traveled there by bus and was never seen again.
15:38They immediately contacted the authorities, who located Marshall's number on the public phone of a supermarket,
15:44which raised suspicions.
15:46The Fox family also received a phone call from a stranger who demanded $10,000 for their daughter's return.
15:53Unfortunately, he could not be traced and the man was never identified.
15:58Despite the efforts of the investigators, the case ended up fading away,
16:03without anyone finding Fox or finding out Marshall's identity since then.
16:16Number 15. George Mallory and Andrew Irvine.
16:19The story of George Mallory and Andrew Irvine captures the horror of mountaineering and the infinite charm of Everest.
16:26Both participated in the failed British expedition to Everest in 1924,
16:31hoping to be the first to reach the top.
16:34They were seen for the last time about 250 meters from the top, but disappeared immediately.
16:40They were given for dead and publicly mourned as British heroes.
16:44The story remained a mystery for the next 75 years,
16:48until the Mallory Research Expedition and Irvine located Mallory's preserved corpse in 1999.
17:02They found him with a pungent wound on his forehead,
17:05which suggests that he had fallen and accidentally hit his peak for mountaineering.
17:15It was not until 2024 that partial remains of Irvine's body were found.
17:21Number 14. Marjorie West.
17:23Known as the Great Mystery of Disappearance Without Resolving Port-de-Garden,
17:28the story of Marjorie West is fascinating.
17:31She was on a picnic with her family on May 8, 1938 when she disappeared.
17:36It is said that Dorothea, West's sister,
17:39neglected her, but when she returned, the girl had disappeared.
17:42A massive search was launched in which thousands of people participated, but it was useless.
17:48The then police commissioner P.W. Foote believed he had been playing hide-and-seek when he was lost.
17:54However, later a man named Harold Beck wrote a book in which he claimed that West
17:59had been kidnapped and raised with his catchers like Sylvia London.
18:04Number 13. Frederick Valentich.
18:06The Australian pilot Frederick Valentich was a student of his country's air training corps.
18:12On the night of October 21, 1978, the Strait of Bass flew over,
18:17which separates continental Australia from Tasmania.
18:20During the flight, he was in contact with the Tasmanian Air Service.
18:24He was in contact with the Tasmanian Air Service.
18:27During the flight, he was in contact with the Tasmanian Air Service.
18:30During the flight, he was in contact with the Tasmanian Air Service.
18:41The ship had bright lights and seemed to be gliding over it.
18:45Just after telling the air service that it was not a plane, a loud noise was heard on the radio.
18:51Valentich was lost and his plane was never recovered.
18:58Lost communication in such strange circumstances.
19:01I put an alert phase on the airplane.
19:04Ufologists believe that the pilot was abducted by a UFO,
19:07while others claim that he was flying backwards without knowing it
19:10and saw his own reflection in the water before crashing.
19:13Number 12. Evelyn Hartley.
19:16The teenager Evelyn Hartley was commissioned to take care of the daughter of Viggo Rasmussen,
19:21one of his parents' colleagues.
19:23He arrived at the house as planned, but as it was not reported that same night,
19:27his father Richard made a call.
19:29He did not receive a response, so he went to Lord Rasmussen's house.
19:32He found a wild panorama, as there were objects thrown everywhere
19:37and the furniture was moved.
19:39There were also signs of theft, such as a torn mosquito net,
19:42lever marks, footprints and blood.
19:45The baby was unharmed on the upper floor, but there was no trace of Hartley.
19:50A witness claimed to have seen two men driving away in a car with a girl,
19:54which gave more credibility to the theory that she had been kidnapped in a robbery.
19:59Number 11. Hui Zhanghui.
20:02In November 2018, this Chinese biophysicist jumped to the headlines around the world
20:07by announcing that he had created the first genetically modified human babies.
20:11I understand my work will be controversial,
20:14but I believe family needs this technology.
20:18His statement was received with a generalized conviction
20:21due to the serious ethical problems of the experiment.
20:24His investigation was suspended, he was fired from Sustech and then he disappeared.
20:30He was last seen at the Human Genome Editing Conference in Hong Kong on Wednesday.
20:34The South China Morning Post reports that the researcher's employer
20:37is dismissing claims he was detained.
20:40In December, it was reported that he had been kidnapped in a department under surveillance.
20:44A year later, he was sentenced to three years in prison.
20:47He was released in April 2022 and now works in genetic therapy for rare genetic diseases.
20:59Number 10. The Southerners.
21:01On the eve of Christmas 1945, there was a devastating fire in the Southerners' home.
21:07The parents and four of their nine children escaped, but the other five were not so lucky.
21:12The easy theory is that the children died in the fire,
21:15but history has many twists that leave some doubts.
21:18The remains of the corpses were never found.
21:21In addition, the patriarch George Southern spoke badly of his native Italy, then a fascist,
21:26which gave rise to the theory that the Sicilian mafia had burned the house and kidnapped the children.
21:33Years later, the Southerners received the photo of an older man by mail,
21:36who was supposedly Luis, already grown up.
21:38They agreed that the man looked like his son, and both clung to that hope until death.
21:44Number 9. Lauren Speer.
21:46In 2011, Lauren Speer, 20, attended Indiana University and studied textile marketing.
21:52On the night of June 2, 2011, she went out with some friends to the Kilroy's Sports Bar in Bloomington.
21:58She left the bar around 2.30 and was last seen leaving a friend's apartment at 4.30.
22:05Today she is still missing.
22:15Several theories have been debunked, including a kidnapping and a deadly overdose,
22:20since Speer had consumed alcohol and drugs.
22:29Despite the thousands of clues and police attempts to link her disappearance with other crimes in the area,
22:36Lauren Speer still has an unknown whereabouts.
22:49Number 8. Lars Mittank.
22:51One of the strangest and scariest stories related to a disappearance is that of the 28-year-old German Lars Mittank.
22:58In June 2014, he was on vacation at the Golden Sands Swimming Pool in Bulgaria with some friends.
23:04When it was time to leave, he stayed in the country due to a broken bell that prevented him from flying.
23:10He stayed alone at the Colorverna Hotel, where he began to behave in a paranoid way.
23:16He even called his mother and told her that four men wanted to get rid of him.
23:20The last time someone saw him, he was running scared through Varna Airport,
23:25jumped a fence and fled into the nearby forests.
23:28He has not been seen since then.
23:30The origin of his fear and current whereabouts are unknown.
23:33Number 7. Mara Murray.
23:35On February 9, 2004, a nursing student from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst,
23:41sent an email to her teachers saying that someone in her family had died.
23:50One minute she's here, one minute she's not, and there's just so many theories.
23:54Her parents have already clarified that there was no death.
23:57She looked for hotels in Vermont, loaded her car with clothes and sewing supplies,
24:01and packed her belongings in boxes.
24:03After leaving campus, she bought alcohol and withdrew $280 from an ATM.
24:08She crashed her vehicle around 7 p.m., and when the police arrived at 7.45, she was gone.
24:15There was no injury, so they searched on foot and in vehicles.
24:19Basically, what they were looking for was, A, a person walking, or B, footprints in the snow.
24:24They found none.
24:25The agent who went to the scene found some suspicious objects in the car,
24:30as indications to arrive in Vermont, and blank forms to report the accident.
24:35There was no trace of Murray.
24:38All I have left is the public.
24:42I'm not getting any help anywhere else.
24:45I'm asking for help from my daughter.
25:08The girls leave the party just after 2 a.m.
25:10Cops believe Stacy and Suzy walked through the front door of Cheryl's house on Delmar Street about 15 minutes later.
25:16That's where the mystery begins.
25:19When a friend arrived at the house the next morning,
25:21the three had disappeared despite their cars being outside.
25:25Authorities say there was no sign of a struggle.
25:28In fact, the front door was unlocked, the TV was on, their clothes were still there,
25:33their purses and personal items untouched.
25:36The friend saw a broken porsche light, and apparently received an obscene call while she was there.
25:41Levitt's dog was also visibly agitated.
25:44When McCall's mother arrived later to investigate,
25:47she found a strange message in the answering machine, but someone accidentally deleted it.
25:53It was a brief call, and the person didn't identify themselves.
25:56It was a male voice that made sexual innuendos, and she hung up.
26:01And immediately received a second call with also making sexual overtones.
26:10But until then, these families will continue to live one day at a time,
26:14hoping for the best, but knowing the worst could be just around the corner.
26:24The ship set sail from Los Angeles on Sunday, March 22nd for the Mexican Riviera.
26:30The alarm was raised last Tuesday when she failed to turn up for her shift.
26:34The following day, the vessel docked in Puerto Vallarta,
26:37and the Mexican Navy and U.S. Coast Guard were deployed to search the seas.
26:54She was wearing extra large clothes and seemed visibly distressed.
26:58She hung up, and left, and was never seen again.
27:01The investigators believe she fell overboard, but the way she did it remains a mystery.
27:06Some believe she jumped, others that she was pushed by a rebellious wave,
27:10and her parents believe she was thrown into the ocean.
27:23Partly because of the problems of where the ship was registered.
27:33Just don't know what happened to her, do we? That's the worst.
27:38It's a loss without closure, with plenty of clues, but no resolution.
27:54Two days later, after being treated in the hospital for injuries,
27:57he spoke to work to announce that Quinn was sick.
28:17On January 6th, Quinn's car was found abandoned,
28:19with strange lip drawings on the rear windshield,
28:22and a living puppy inside.
28:28In July 2017, Owens was charged with first degree murder for Quinn's death,
28:33but he finally pleaded guilty to being an accomplice after the crime.
28:37He also served a life sentence for killing Christie Sean,
28:40from Food Network, and her husband, J.T. Codd, in 2015.
28:49He's going to die in the custody of the state of North Carolina.
28:53As for Quinn, his remains have not yet been found.
28:58In December 1967, Harold Holt held the post of 17th Prime Minister of Australia.
29:05He was an avid lover of outdoor activities, but he was almost 60 years old,
29:10and his doctor had recently advised him against swimming.
29:14In the afternoon of December 17th, 1967, he went swimming to the Australian beach of Cheviot,
29:20despite the agitated waters.
29:22He was quickly dragged into the sea, and a massive search was launched in the area to find him.
29:38Despite the efforts of the country, no one could find any trace of Holt.
29:42A government investigation was never launched due to the wishes of the family.
29:47This detail, among other factors, has led to numerous conspiracy theories.
30:02Despite the countless contradictory statements,
30:05the official sentence remains that Holt died tragically drowned.
30:13Number 2. D.B. Cooper.
30:15The story of D.B. Cooper is one of the most famous mysteries of all time.
30:20A story that involves an air robbery, a film leak, and an ambiguous outcome.
30:26The identity of D.B. Cooper has been a mystery since November 24th, 1971,
30:31when a man calling himself Dan Cooper hijacked and threatened to blow up a passenger jet flying from Portland to Seattle.
30:38Cooper is the pseudonym of a man who kidnapped a Boeing 727 in 1971 and asked for $200,000 in ransom.
30:46After getting the money, he opened the door in mid-flight and jumped into the cold and dark night so as not to be seen again.
31:01Cooper's only trace remains a small rescue package that was recovered in 1980.
31:08A portion of ransom money a family discovered buried in sand while camping along a sandbar, Tina Bar, in the Columbia River in 1980.
31:27While probability now points to D.B. Cooper's death,
31:32without hard evidence, many people today still believe that he survived.

31:48Now, let's go to the end.
31:50Number 1. Amelia Earhart.
31:52If there is a story without solving more popular than that of D.B. Cooper, it is that of Amelia Earhart,
31:58a popular and recognized aviator and the first woman who flew over the Atlantic alone.
32:07In the eyes of the world, she never died.
32:10Her fear never witnessed, her failure never recorded.
32:14In 1937, she and the navigator Fred Noonan tried to circumnavigate the globe.
32:20However, they disappeared over the Pacific, near Hawaii, and they were never heard from again.
32:25This grainy film records the last time Amelia Earhart and Fred Noonan are ever seen alive.
32:32Countless theories have been proposed about their final destination, but no conclusion has ever been reached.
32:48Most likely, Earhart and Noonan ran out of fuel and crashed into the Pacific while desperately searching for Howland Island.
32:58It's a boring answer, but that's how the most realistic ones are.
33:02Which of these disappearance cases would you like to have solved in the near future?
