The Poison Pen Letters

Was listening to this on a podcast earlier very intriguing.

http://unsolved.com/archives/poison-pen-murder

Couldn't they test the letters for DNA? Wearside Jack (a Yorkshire Ripper imposter who taunted police by sending them letters and some audio tapes) was identified 30 or so years later throuh DNA testing.

There's a popular unsolved mysteries forum over on this sitcom website and a poster there questions whether a colleague at the school was involved and if there were multiple copycat letter writers http://www.sitcomsonline.com/boards/showthread.php?t=348999

BTw what was the podcast called?

Don't know about the why's and wherefores of the DNA testing but it was from the In Sight podcast. Plenty of murder mysteries on there.

Yep, read about that one before, it's very intriguing indeed.

Didn't know the case was recently reopened.

General Butt Naked

The recent case of the Polish girl Magdalena Zuk who killed herself in Egypt. Not because it's my 'favourite' but because I think it's going blow the lid off modern day white slavery.

I'd be curious to know if there was any cctv footage for her at the airport.
Something tells me there's more to that than the authorities are letting on.

Think it's been mentioned on this thread before, but the new methods of analysis of the evidence are fascinating.

Is the theory that it wasn't in fact suicide and instead she was killed and thrown off the hospital?

I've really no idea, IP. I just wondered what the first post, mentioning her name, was about. (I'd never heard of her). Googled the name and that link was top of the page. Ghastly! And, ye would have noticed the attention those guys paid to that window on the right ....

Of course; It's LiveLeak. Not exactly Reuters then. Could be a clip from a horror film, for all I know.

A cursory glance at yesterdays Google News though did rather remind me of that film " Hostel "! I mean; WTF?!

Further; Taking it that that Is genuine footage of the girl? Surely that must have come from the hotel, rather than the hospital itself? Though, again; After what I read about the attitude of the hospital staff ....! :eek:

I mean, Jesus Christ!

Read further yeself, See what You can make of it. I've seen enough. And have pretty well drawn my own conclusions.

Or that she killed herself after being tricked into sex slavery.

Tbh here in Poland there are quite a few spins on the story that it's hard to make heads or tails of it.
Just unusual that whilst waiting for her flight home she supposedly went mad and had to be brought to hospital where see threw herself from the 3rd floor.
In the video she seems quite scared and the body language of those around her doesn't really inspire confidence.
I imagine there will be another autopsy when the body is repatriated.
Seems as well that the boyfriend is receiving death threats because he didn't go. Talk about kicking someone when they are down.

irishproduce

You don't exactly see her being beat in the video though. It is sped up too much. Poster above me says she looks scared?
How can you tell that, it is grainy and no sound.

Where is the theory on sex slavery coming from?

I didn't mention sex slavery or being beaten
I said it appeared from the body language, cowering into a corner and moving away from them hardly shows she is feeling secure.

Well you can be sure nothing good happened to her. My theory is she accepted an offer to go to Egypt and 'hang out' with some rich Arabs for money. She was naive and believed no sex would be involved. Apparently she contacted her boyfriend in hysterics to say the men were 'doing things to her'.

One thing for sure is Poles are not like western Europeans. They won't meekly accept one of their women being beaten and raped. I wouldn't be surprised if there's riots over this.

Sorry I didn't mean to put words in your mouth.
I was inferring from the comments posted, apologies.

So what is the theory here then.
Is it that she was over there doing a bit of the dirty for cash and then came upon her demise and was killed/ dumped?
Are there any articles with that implication?

The story which seems to be the most talked about here on the media and from others is that she bought the trip as a present for her boyfriends birthday.
He hadn't realised his passport had expired (hence the death threats he is receiving) and told her she should go without him (madness).
So she went all alone to Egypt.
She seemed to have been pestered while there and called the boyfriend to say she is scared or something like this.
Then at the airport she "snapped" they say and brought to hospital where you see the video.
Tbh the whole thing stinks.

Not sure if its been mentioned but the disapearance of Annie McCarrick near glencullen in the early nineties is really mysterious.

Found out recently the sighting of her in Johnnie Foxes is unconfirmed. And the recent rumours of IRA involvement just add to the mystery.

Shes buried in those mountains somewhere, never to be found.

Michael Jordan's father was shot, allegedly randomly, but some say it was because Michael Jordan didn't pay off gambling debts and it was a lesson to him.

There is an interesting update on this mystery.

Somebody mentioned the Isdal women. Fascinating case. But it seems new advances in DNA technology have recently shed new light on the case. It is not solved yet though.
