Three cases of women disappearing when on a cruise liner. Downright eerie some of them:

In all fairness, god rest their souls but it's easy to see where they ended up.
Just no c**t was convicted of it.

Yeah true in relation to the Americans - perhaps Amy Lynn is still alive though (but perhaps not, god help her).

The British girl though, Rebecca - that case is weirder imo.

Oops!

I understand what your saying.... but id say they all ended up the same way if the choose to or not.

Proto-Romance language, eh? I'm not convinced...

That Bradley girl, she was last seen on the balcony of the cabin asleep.
Had she left the room she'd have been caught on the hallway cameras, right?

She had to have jumped or fallen (got the spins in her hangover?).
How can they be so confident its "very unlikely she fell?"

Rebecca Coriam's was settled out of court, I'd say Disney Cruises had more info than they let on.

Fascinating report by Rosita Boland in last Saturday's Irish Times about Peter Bergmann, who's body was found washed up on Rosses Point beach ten years ago this week. So many unanswered questions even down to the basic fact that he has never been identified.

... also, that poor woman who disappeared a few years ago in Bray Co Wicklow.
Her car was last seen driving up the promenade, it was parked, and that was the last time she was ever seen!

Presuming she was driving the car?

Its a myth that most of these mysteries remain unsolved.

Most have been solved, mainly in scientific journals and tv programs. There is a perfectly logical answer to them all. Many are human fabrications such as crop circles, big foot, etc.

They're great stories though. That's what makes many of them "favourites" in this thread, rather than their being solved or otherwise as time goes on.

The Jill Dando case always baffles me.

Like why?

Me too. The most logical perpetrators in terms of motive would be a jilted former lover or some weirdo loner in the mould of Barry George (but not Barry himself, I hasten to add if his lawyers are reading). But neither of those would seem to tally with the apparent professionalism of the hit. If there was a prime suspect in either of those categories I'm sure word would have leaked out from the cops at this stage, given the level of interest in the case.

Why not Barry himself? I think they got the right man. Whatever about his motive - he's a madman, obviously - he was certainly capable of using a firearm with the intention of killing. The list of alternative suspects is very short indeed. Why? Because, there are none.

An interesting theory I read before was Dando knew too much about Jimmy Saville during the 90s and other 'pedophilia rings'. Tried to alert the BBC bosses but nothing was done. She was deemed to have known too much and could be a potential reason as to what happened to her.

you mean apart from the three witnesses who placed him somewhere else at the time of the murder?

They should check out dog walkers more thoroughly. How many times have bodies being found by "a man out walking his dog" ?

Why don't they just make airplanes out of the black box material?

Why did the Catholic Church close down their 'St Patrick's Purgatory' pilgrimage site on Saints Island on Lough Derg in the late 1400's and then make a new version of it on Station Island next to it - and still to this day deny that's the case (even though history says otherwise). Nevermind they had to make Station Island larger as it was smaller than Saints Island. I find that a fecken mystery

In fairness to the cops, if the killer was somebody in the mould of what Barry George was alleged to be - a weirdo loner who wanted to kill a celeb for their own private kicks - where do you start looking for somebody like that in a city of ten million people? I'm sure they got reports of guys like that acting even more strangely than usual round the time of the murder, but the trail had gone very cold by the time George's conviction was quashed.

Because they are orange. Hmmm maybe Easyjet could use it ?


Cars have crumple zones to soften the impact. If you were on an aeroplane made out of black box material you'd end up as a stain on the bulkhead.
