The 9/11 one is so sad.

I'd say there are a few people who used 9/11 as an opportunity to disappear.

Excellent thread. I've spent most of the day going through it.

Some modern mysteries I find interesting:

• The disappearance of the McStay Family from San Diego. A family of four suddenly run from their house, leaving half-eaten food out and their dogs without food, to flee across the (nearby) Mexican border. Despite them owning a car, cameras show them (or a group thought to be them) walking over the border on foot. This was a middle-class family with no connection to gangs or crime. They gave no indication to family or friends that they were in trouble. What were they running from? Where are they now?

Great thread!

The McStay Family disappearance in USA always intrigued me

This mystery has maybe been solved. The police have made an arrest. The man arrested was the business partner of Joseph McStay and was supposedly the last person to hear from the family after he received a phone call from Joseph McStay's phone after the family had disappeared. It appears he made that call himself as the police have said he killed the family inside their home.

Who is/was the Zodiac Killer??

Got a bit obsessed with this for a while after watching David Fincher's "Zodiac" movie ........ countless books and documentaries later and I'm still fascinated by the whole case.

What.

I posted on the thread a while back that it happened right around the corner from me (though I was only a few months old at the time) and a lot of my friends growing up went to Colaiste Eanna. It's obviously just hearsay but the vast majority in the area reckon whatever happened to him after being abducted, he eventually got buried in or near the Featherbeds in the Dublin mountains.

A good writer is a good reader first. Maybe that's what makes you an awkward author.

A lot of the mysteries mentioned here, are my favorites and I have enjoyed reading about them and puzzling over them. Recently, I have been reading up on the strange case of Elisa Lam..Weird situation altogether..Was it the case of a woman with a mental illness or something more?

I'd say the cause of accidental drowning explains that or a suicide.

I don't think she was murdered, is that what you mean by "something more"?
