Do you have an unsloved mystery? - Page 2 - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

This happened when I was about 16 years old.

I was getting ready to take a shower and it was a cold morning before school. I turned on the water and had to wait a few minutes for it to warm up, many of you know what I mean.

Well, after a few minutes the water was sufficiently warm and I got in the shower. I noticed and I was annoyed that there was no soap in the shower. I climbed out and under sink was a cabinet where we kept a few new bars of soap.

I pulled out a brand new bar of soap. It was maybe 4 1/2 inches long and it was a green "Irish Spring" brand bar. Nothing unusual.

As I was getting into the shower I dropped the bar. I heard it hit the tub but it wasn't in the tub. Or outside. I shook out my clothes that were on the floor. I shook out the towels. I checked the wire rack hanging from the showerhead. I checked the sink and the toilet. I checked behind the toilet. I looked in the little trash can which only contained the wrapper from the same bar of soap.

I turned off the water and put on a towel and searched my bathroom high and low. I could have easily gotten a new bar of soap but it was almost obsessive for me to figure out where it went.

I looked every place I could imagine for a good 15 minutes. I never found that bar of soap. It was green/white and possibly has a large dent from the first drop. It was brand new and about 4 1/2 inches long and maybe an inch thick.

So yes, minor mystery but one I have thought about for about 15 years.

Ooohh...I have one like this. I minor mystery but I'm still at a loss to explain it. When I was a kid, I got a Jem doll for Christmas (truly outrageous!). I was obsessed with Jem, so I was psyched when I got the doll. My mom was too cheap to buy the little battery that made her earrings light up (see here for a visual), so that part was kind of disappointing.

One day, I got mad at my little brother and threw my Jem doll on the ground...hard. All of a sudden, her earrings lit up and started blinking. No battery. I opened up the little hatch on her back where the battery was supposed to go. No battery. I switched the earrings on and off whenever I wanted for the better part of a year. No battery. I lost the doll, eventually. I wish I hadn't b/c it was clearly a magical Jem doll...or possessed by the devil...one of the two.

The fact that this thread has only been resurrected after 10 years in limbo is a mystery in itself!

True crime has always been fascinating to me, even when I was a child. I don't have any real reason as to why. Some of the UM cases I have forgotten over the years, but there are many that I have only seen a few times that I can remember a good portion of the details on.

When my uncle was alive, he told me about his biological father that went into the service and they never heard from him again.

I have a niece I have not seen in 7 years. (Long story about the mom and the dad (my brother).

In the early 1960s, my cousin came home covered in blood. His father asked him what happened. My cousin said he'd killed a chicken. His family didn't own chickens, but they decided not to question it because... Well, because that's my family. At any rate, a couple of days later my cousin left for Hollywood to become an actor. As far as anyone knows, that didn't pan out, but no one's heard from him since. See, a few days after he left, the body of a woman was found down the street from his house. She'd been killed with a hatchet a few days prior, i.e. the day he showed up covered in blood. My family has always assumed that he murdered her, of course. Apparently others thought so, too - until she died in 2004, my grandmother received regular calls from the FBI asking if she knew where my cousin was.

I've found a couple of arrest records for him post-disappearance, and one newspaper article describing how he hopped a train and damaged it. Nothing past 1965, though. So that's my mystery - what happened to my cousin, and did he murder that woman?

It's not a personal unsolved mystery, as I didn't know the person, but over a year ago there was a man went missing about 2 hours from me while on his boat fishing. Searchers found his boat, with his wallet, cell phone, and hat on the boat, but he was no where to be seen. They have searched the lake and have so far found nothing.
