    I suspect themselves and the car is in a river. I saw a show about this before, loads of cars were found in rivers and lakes over there after being missing 20 to 30 years.

    This photo was, allegedly, taken not long before, or after, Valentich flew past. I think there was a second photo taken of this “object” but I can’t find it now.

    I’m sure there’s a hundred explanations but it still adds to the mystery.

    I guess mischievous suicide

    That fausto read was very good

    The murder of Missy Bevers. She turned up to give a pilates class and was found dead by her students. Still unsolved.

    The creepy part is there is footage of someone dressed in a police uniform walking around the building she was killed in not long before she arrived.

    Jill Dando one is certainly weird.

    Since the murder, her brother Nigel has been steadfast in his belief that it was a random act, a burglar caught in the act. That’s weird, all the evidence points otherwise...

    She was shot, once, in the head at point blank range execution style. She was shot at her front door... outside. Trying to get inside, she was approached from behind, if a burglar was trying to flee he could have...Also...

    1) a burglar is unlikely to carry a semi automatic pistol breaking into a home.

    2) she was shot at 11.32am, unusual time for a burglary.

    3) she was shot outside her home, broad daylight, one bullet into her temple, execution style. She was believed to have been approached from behind. Executed, a burglar just wants to flee.

    4) the bullet had been modified, possibly to reduce its charge, somebody knew what they were doing..this can reduce the noise and velocity of the bullet when the gun is fired.

    A burglar ? hmmmmm..., why would a burglar, go to a crowded residential avenue with 120 townhouses at 11.30 am ? Armed ? Doesn’t add up.


    The other thing that's strange about this case is that Jill Dando had all but moved out of that house in Fulham and was living mostly with her fiance. She wasn't supposed to be there and had only gone back to collect the mail (if I recall rightly). So it's not like it was part of her daily routine, since she only popped around there when she had a spare five minutes by the sounds of things.

    I saw that the gait of the killer was eerily similar to her father in laws. I haven't watched this youtube so it may have been mentioned there.

    I watched some true-crime video, I think on YouTube or maybe TV.

    They did mention that point with some force, the way the figure walks.

    Apparently "gait" is very distinctive to a person and there are crime specialists in it.
    This was a nasty murder and thought to be "family"; but I don't think anyone has been charged.

    Here is some footage that seems to show how the suspect and the father in law had very similar outturned feet.

    The death of Dorothy kilgallen seems to have a bit of mystery around it. For those not familiar with who she was, she was a panellist on what’s my line in the US for years(a very funny show actually that’s on YouTube) She had written about the Kennedy assassination which some think is linked to her death and not the official cause of death.

    {YouTube ~ 2019} Mysterious Death of Reporter Dorothy Kilgallen & the JFK Assassination

    "Author and former criminal defense attorney, Mark Shaw, speaks about his book "The Reporter Who Knew Too Much" and its follow-up, "Denial of Justice." Each chronicle not only his 12 years of research but most importantly, the life and times and mysterious death of What's My Line? TV star and crack investigative reporter Dorothy Kilgallen and her 18-month investigation of the Dallas tragedies which included being the only reporter to interview Jack Ruby at his trial. Shaw also discusses his controversial exposure of the most important JFK assassination documents in history, the Jack Ruby trial transcripts."

    I've always thought it's a woman.

    That's what some detectives are leaning toward also.


  • Registered Users Posts: 11,215 ✭✭✭✭Suckit


    I haven't read much on this case, but much of the stuff I am reading today mainly estimates the height between 5'4" - 5'7".
    Using those videos of the suspect, it should be very easy to pinpoint the height a lot more accurately.

    Gaits can be similar, I can't remember where I read it, but while a Gait can be a tell-tale sign of diseases (IIRC that is how Billy Connolly found out he had Parkinsons), - two people can have similar gaits - enough so that it couldn't be evidence on it's own etc.

    But the video comparison also shows the Father in Law has a weird kind of hunchback presumably caused by slouching, as does the suspect in uniform, which looks a little lower down, but it could be the video angle.
    I'm sure if there was more footage of the Father in Law walking around (which no doubt there is) it would be easier to compare. I am looking at this tomorrow an going to look up a load of those links, but from the stuff I have watched and read, I am of the belief it is the Father in Law. However I do think the suspect looks female. I am guessing they are well connected to somebody in power, but my opinion will hopefully change loads as I read more into it.

    The Father in Law scratches is face with his left hand in this video (and the suspect is holding hammer in left hand)
    But the Fathers demeanor seems odd to me. He also seems to be watching every word coming out of the sons mouth.

    Is Fidel Castro Justin Trudeaus real father?
    It sounds bonkers at first but the more you look into it the more probable it becomes.
    Here's a good video that lays out the evidence..

    The only mystery is that some people believe that nonsense.


  • Registered Users Posts: 11,215 ✭✭✭✭Suckit


    From that article:


    "Margaret Trudeau, Pierre Trudeau - They met when he was 48 and she was 18. They got married when he was 53 and she was 23. Their marriage surprised Canada because Pierre had been a lifelong playboy with no wife or children. He would be turning 60 when she was barely out of her 20’s.


    Pierre Trudeau slept around too. According to a 2009 Globe and Mail article by Margaret Wente, actress Margo Kidder (Superman, Superman II), classical guitarist Liona Boyd, and actress Kim Cattrall all claimed to have slept with him at some time."


    Is Kim Cattrall the one from Sex and the City?
    What age was she and what age was he when they had sex? That must have been some age gap.

    She was 24, he was 62. She asked him out.


  • Registered Users Posts: 11,215 ✭✭✭✭Suckit


    She was 24, he was 62. She asked him out.
    I looked her up. I guessed she was a lot younger.
    I thought she was in her 50's now, even with Mannequin.
    I thought maybe she was early 20's in that. She was in her 30's :eek:.
    Haven't seen it in years, so hadn't put too much thought into it.

    They started at the bottom and worked up the way.

    Well did they use a ramp, was it people power, did they use animals, how did they get them so perfect, was the pyramids covered in some sealant on the stones.
    Some of the answers ideas are interesting

    The scale of the construction was massive. Even by modern standards. It took 20,000 men 20-30 years to build them. They carved the stones in a quarry and they were moved and put in place using a system of leverage, pullies and ramps.
    The quarry is about 1000km away from the pyramids but when the Nile flooded they floated the rocks down it to Giza. Then they brought statues and rocks on sleds pulled by about 200 men.

    Or you know Aliens did it.

    The biggest mystery around the Pyramids is why the Egyptians have allowed the site to fall into such disrepair.
    They`ve allowed construction of houses right up beside it even when UNESCO condemned them for it. The place is like one giant flytip with rubbish all over. There`s basically no policing at all and it`s jammed with hawkers who follow you around annoying you.
