    There's an Irish guy on youtube who looks into missing people, murders etc. I just found his channel recently and it's really well researched. It's called That Chapter and worth a look.

    I looked at that channel, thanks for the link.
    Saw a piece about the Chrisvids and I can tell you, that totally looks like a fabrication: riddled with coincidence and missing any reality.
    It must have been some young lads' effort at a sort of Blair Witch creepy story, but it just doesn't add up.

    Why does the google.com page say that today is National Grandparents day in the USA on Sunday 8th of September?
    If I do everything differently will I confuse google. Can I try the lottery numbers for the 9th of September, how do I search for them?

    There are convincing arguments imo for either possibility.

    Either way, poor woman. What an horrendous ordeal.

    And of course the incidents were going to stop when her home was under surveillance by loads of police - whether the incidents were her doing, or those of an attacker.

    That one is flipping mental. It's believed that the guy whose remains were never found (who had a history of violence) was the killer of the three men whose remains were found scattered outside. The poor fella found in the bed though - that's just bizarre. His intellectual disability stopped him from doing the most logical things, so maybe it was that...

    As far as I know, their car was found much more recently, in the river not far from the town. Can't remember where I read that, though.

    You're not thinking of a different case by any chance? There was a man called William (Bill) Fennessy who also disappeared from Fermoy about a year before the Dwyers. His remains and his car were recovered from the river Blackwater in 2012.

    I don't ever remember anything about the Dwyer's car being found, but I'm open to correction :)

    You're right. The Dwyers car was never found. I wonder if a similar thing happened to them too.

    It's weird, I went through this exact mental process recently. Someone mentioned it either on this thread or a similar one and I was convinced I'd heard that their car had been found in a river near their home. But when I read up on it, it turned out it hadn't and I must have been mixing it up with another case.



    I think there have actually been a few of these - lately there was one where someone spotted a car in a retention pond on google maps. It turned out to be someone that went missing from the area years ago. There car was there all along but it took a satellite photo to reveal it.

    That case was in Florida. Strange thing was the car was submerged in the pond directly in front of neighbouring houses, and it took a satellite to spot it.

    Ah, you're quite right: my mistake.

    It wasn't their car, just a reminder that it IS possible for a car and a driver to disappear quite close to home and apparently vanish for years.

    It's quite likely that the Dwyer's met a similar fate I would suspect.

    Why would he say he was in it?

    Surely, the “fallout” from loaning someone, with drink taken, your car would be less than you crashing, fleeing the scene and having them drown?

    He left the party with Mary Jo, both drunk, the car was seen parked by a policemen and then it fled, he got out of the car and told her to go back to the party. He went back to the hotel. The other fallout was that he would've had to admit that, with a presidential run coming and a pregnant wife at home.

    He met people the next morning and seemed in good form, relaxed chatty. Didn't call his lawyer, never mind the police, until he was told about her death by his friends which is the real kicker for me. He just went to bed! :confused:

    But his lie - doesn't remember how he got out of the car, no broken windows or doors. He dived a couple of times, walked past houses en route back to the party to get his mates, they all tried and failed to get her out so they all just went to bed! And didnt call the cops/ambulance/lawyers. Nah.

    Has the nerve to turn up to the funeral in a neckbrace too.

    This is excellent

    One I haven't seen mentioned is Glen Stewart Godwin. He was on the FBI's Top Ten Most Wanted list for 20 years and is still at large.

    Sentenced for murder and robbery, he escaped from Folsom State Prison in 1987 in a manner which echoed Andy Dufresne's escape in The Shawshank Redemption.

    He absconded to Mexico, got arrested again, and was sent to prison there where he would kill a cartel member before escaping yet again in 1991.

    He hasn't been seen since. He is thought to be living under an assumed identity and deep in the drug trade.

    Good looking guy as well - he would've made a lot of friends in prison if he didn't know how to handle himself.

    Either way nobody wants to know what one of the best cryptographers in GCHQ found in certain files. Was he protected or was this protection removed? Did he disclose this information to anyone else?
    How would you go back to his family in Wales and try and explain how they were given garuntees that he would be safe and respected doing valuable work free from any stigmas over his private life.

    In 1950 a Dougles C-54D with 44 passengers and crew disappeared in Yukon only a few minutes after last making contact. No distress signal, no Mayday, nothing.

    Over 7,000 people and 85 planes combed the area for 4 weeks, but nothing was ever found. It's an area that's favoured by hikers, hunters, indigenous people and adventurers, but no trace of the plane has ever been seen.

    There's a film in the works about it, and two articles on it here;

    Three unsolved mysteries immediately come to mind.

    Firstly the disappearance oy flight MH-370 which disappeared en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing in March 2014.

    The second mystery that comes to mind is the disappearance of Maddie McCann, and my last choice is the very recent disappearance of the British diplomat Richard Morris (ex ambassador to Nepal) who went out for a jog on the morning of the 6th of May and hasn't been seen since!
