    There's an Irish guy on youtube who looks into missing people, murders etc. I just found his channel recently and it's really well researched. It's called That Chapter and worth a look.

    I looked at that channel, thanks for the link.
    Saw a piece about the Chrisvids and I can tell you, that totally looks like a fabrication: riddled with coincidence and missing any reality.
    It must have been some young lads' effort at a sort of Blair Witch creepy story, but it just doesn't add up.

    Why does the google.com page say that today is National Grandparents day in the USA on Sunday 8th of September?
    If I do everything differently will I confuse google. Can I try the lottery numbers for the 9th of September, how do I search for them?

    There are convincing arguments imo for either possibility.

    Either way, poor woman. What an horrendous ordeal.

    And of course the incidents were going to stop when her home was under surveillance by loads of police - whether the incidents were her doing, or those of an attacker.

    The 'American Dyatlov Pass'/The Yuba County Five is another mystery.
    I was reminded about it recently.

    Five men with Psychological issues and/or Autism went to a Basketball match and went missing after abandoning their car on the way home.

    That one is flipping mental. It's believed that the guy whose remains were never found (who had a history of violence) was the killer of the three men whose remains were found scattered outside. The poor fella found in the bed though - that's just bizarre. His intellectual disability stopped him from doing the most logical things, so maybe it was that...

    As far as I know, their car was found much more recently, in the river not far from the town. Can't remember where I read that, though.

    You're not thinking of a different case by any chance? There was a man called William (Bill) Fennessy who also disappeared from Fermoy about a year before the Dwyers. His remains and his car were recovered from the river Blackwater in 2012.

    I don't ever remember anything about the Dwyer's car being found, but I'm open to correction :)

    You're right. The Dwyers car was never found. I wonder if a similar thing happened to them too.

    It's weird, I went through this exact mental process recently. Someone mentioned it either on this thread or a similar one and I was convinced I'd heard that their car had been found in a river near their home. But when I read up on it, it turned out it hadn't and I must have been mixing it up with another case.



    I think there have actually been a few of these - lately there was one where someone spotted a car in a retention pond on google maps. It turned out to be someone that went missing from the area years ago. There car was there all along but it took a satellite photo to reveal it.

    That case was in Florida. Strange thing was the car was submerged in the pond directly in front of neighbouring houses, and it took a satellite to spot it.

    Two highly intelligent and gifted lads like Gosden and Sloley disappearing within such a short space of time makes me want to write a book with a plot line of the UK government or some other agency running a rogue operation kidnapping genius kids and brainwashing them into working on some as yet unknown project.

    Old Kingy got in before you! I just finished this and the premise is very similar!

    Ah, you're quite right: my mistake.

    It wasn't their car, just a reminder that it IS possible for a car and a driver to disappear quite close to home and apparently vanish for years.

    It's quite likely that the Dwyer's met a similar fate I would suspect.

    Why would he say he was in it?

    Surely, the “fallout” from loaning someone, with drink taken, your car would be less than you crashing, fleeing the scene and having them drown?

    The tide is turning…

    He left the party with Mary Jo, both drunk, the car was seen parked by a policemen and then it fled, he got out of the car and told her to go back to the party. He went back to the hotel. The other fallout was that he would've had to admit that, with a presidential run coming and a pregnant wife at home.

    He met people the next morning and seemed in good form, relaxed chatty. Didn't call his lawyer, never mind the police, until he was told about her death by his friends which is the real kicker for me. He just went to bed! :confused:

    But his lie - doesn't remember how he got out of the car, no broken windows or doors. He dived a couple of times, walked past houses en route back to the party to get his mates, they all tried and failed to get her out so they all just went to bed! And didnt call the cops/ambulance/lawyers. Nah.

    Has the nerve to turn up to the funeral in a neckbrace too.

    This is excellent
