    JonBenet Ramsey, young girl murdered in her home in Colorado
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JonBenét_Ramsey

    Always had an interest in that case
    Loads of documentaries on youtube and around the internet if you're interested

    The parents got a lot of hostility for "lawyering up" but realy, that's what many educated and well off people.
    I'm not saying I'm either of those but I was ever arrested for anything I would say nothing without a solicitor present.
    But some think they needed lawyers as they had something to hide which is not fair

    There are worrying areas in their family life but nothing terrible and certainly nothing to say they deserved to be hounded by the media.
    But then the case attracted huge attention with many saying it's a pretty white girl from a good family. The same way the McCann case got huge attention but people wondered if she was a black girl from a council estate would the media even care

    The case drew out the crackpots. About six years ago a man confessed to it and was flown in from abroad to meet the police. It was clear to all that he was an attention seeker and not the full shilling but he still had to be questioned. And he was then released.

    Never been solved anyway, I do believe an intruder did it but unless someone confesses on their deathbed it'll be never be closed

    Seriously though the amount of young women that went missing in Ireland in the 90's and early 00's is mystifying, Deirdre Jacob, Fiona Pender, Jo Jo Dollard and lots more.

    Must be awful for their familes.

    Some ancient history mysteries. How did they build the pryramids, how did the ancient babylonians get that blue glaze on the Ishtar Gate without computer controlled kilm thermostats (the temperature has to be kept with in narrow limits or you don't get the glaze).

    But my favorite is corn on the cob, they have no idea how the meso Americans got it, It is derived from a certain type maize crop but very far removed from it. It was the first type of engineered plant that needed man to produce it. The seeds have to be manually removed from the husk if we were to disappear tomorrow so would corn on the cob.

    Its as if they used genetical engineering, but of course they didn't.

    I could be wrong but most humans cannot digest the corn, so we eat it and sh1t out somewhere, so it gets planted in some way.....

    Well yes, but if a corn hob fell on the ground it wouldn't grow. So it was the firs plant that need man to cultivate it.

    Now with genetical engineering we have loads of those types of plants.

    why people in the US of A believe in chemtrails

    there are over half a million people in the US with pilots licenses, any one of who could take their own air samples and send it off to any number of commercial labs.

    Why does Superman insist in staying in Smallville when the area is contaminated with kryptonite, why doesn't he go to Ireland where there is none.

    Errr why do I keep watching Smallville they are whipping it to death, why don't they just put the cape on him and be done with it.

    It was excellent for the first 3 series, when it was Smallvile but now it is more Metropolis.

    This case is really interesting because whoever did it left a ransom note using paper from inside the house.
    I wonder why a sicko who planned on murdering a small child in her own home would even bother to pretend hes kidnapping her..
    But to be clear, I don't think the parents did it.

    Why is it the media always turns on the families of victims who don't display what they deem to be the "correct" amount of grief. It happened with the McCanns too.

    Because it's more often the family who kill a child.

    No females disappeared while Larry was inside. He worked in all the areas that the girls went missing from but as yet there is no evidence other than circumstantial evidence to link him to any of them. He refused to answer any questions when interviewed about them apparently.

    The murder of Raonaid Murray
    Rainaid was an Irish murder victim, stabbed to death at the age of 17 in the early hours of Saturday morning, 4 September 1999. As of September 2009, ten years after the murder, this case remains unsolved. The murder weapon has not been located either. How could this kid be murdered so close to home and no one be ever found guilty?

    I remember this very well. My grandparents lived near where she was murdered. It has always intrigued me and I wonder if anyone will ever be caught.
