Most Bizzare Unexplained Death or missing Cases??? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

ddelta · 11-17-2004, 02:14 PM

I know this has probably been done before but some of the older cases really bug me out so i thought it would be fun to list are most bizzare cases for unexplained deaths...here are mine:

1. Cindy James
2. The woman found in the barrel in the lake behind her house
3. The kid found three days after a party dead in the dessert
4. The kid killed at a carnival (the offered three different scenerios)
5. Amy Bradley

Thats all i can think of now.

ddelta,

I happened to notice that your list of "most bizzare" unexplained death cases includes a description of the Jeremy Bright case. That was #4 ("the kid killed at the carnival"). That's a missing persons case, not unexplained death. Indeed, multiple theories have been suggested as to what became of him following the Orgeon carnival in 1986, including one involving him dying of a bullet wound after being shot by punks. However, there is no proof that he is dead (nor can we prove that he is still alive). He is still officially listed as a missing person, and is considered alive until proven otherwise. Therefore, his case cannot be counted as unexplained death.

The same applies to the Amy Bradley case.

The AJ Breaux case has always puzzled me. He was the small town southern businessman who was spotted several times after he went missing. The last time anyone saw him, he was going door to door selling frozen fish.

Also the Amy Billig case. I feel so sorry for her mother. The poor woman lost her daughter and then was tormented for years by a heartless creep who claimed to know what happened to her.

Ddelta,

I didn't read your post carefully the first time. Sorry.

To me, one of the most bizzare unexplained death cases was the one on Clarence Roberts. He was the Indiana man who was supposedly found dead in two separate fires: the first in 1970, the second in 1980. Many speculated that he faked his death in the first fire in order to get out of debt, and that a vagrant died in his place. His wife Geneva was killed in the second fire. Clarence's sister-in-law said on the show that she believed Clarence to be alive.

ddelta · 11-17-2004, 08:24 PM

Not a problem Kane, I understand how you could be confused. I meant missing or unexplained deaths.

Another one is Tara Calico and that picture. I wonder if they are one in the same and if they are who is the boy in the picture with her?

I agree Kane!!! Do you remember if UM mentioned (or do you happen to know) whether his family buried both bodies or just one? Perhaps they could do a DNA test? (I know it's horribly expensive but it would finally put at least part of the mystery to rest)

The Cindy James segment always intrigued me ever since the time it was first aired back in 1991. And when I got a book about the case a few years ago, I was so interested that I finished it in 2 days.

*6 1/2 years of harrasment and torture sounds like a nightmare. It was never proved whether or not someone was actually doing these horrible things to her for all those years but it was never proved that she was staging all the incidents herself either. It just remains a total mystery. I have a hard time believing that she could have done ALL of those things to herself. And her death scene was even more obvious. No way could she have injected herself with morphine drugs and then actually bound her hands and feet together behind her back. Very depressing and very scary.

*How about the Nyleen Kay Marshall case? Kidnapped in 1983 and hasn't been seen since. I'll bet she is still alive today and has no idea that this man (who is probably pretending to be her father) has actually abducted her. The letter the kidnapper wrote was haunting.

*I still hold on to hope and pray that the Maples will be caught and punished for kidnapping their grandchildren Kristy and Bobby Baskin. Such a sad case that always got to me. I even wrote a letter to Mark & Debbie Baskin (their parents) telling them that they will always be in my prayers and that I hope for them to be reunited with their children soon. Today they would be 23 and 22. What the Maples have done is just plain evil and not something you would ever expect your grandparents to do.

Ive posted about this one before (its an oldie), about the young chorus girl who disappeared and had left some odd hints to her friends that she may never see them again and dedicated a song "Hello" (Lionel Richie) to her dad before she disappeared. I dont know if it ever was updatred because it was on UM before Stack hosted. Anyway...that one was so perplexing.

justins5256 · 11-19-2004, 12:21 AM

Well, this is probably the seven hundredth time I've brought this case up on here, but it has stuck with me all these years despite the fact that I have only seen it once. The story was about a young couple from Louisiana who were found shot to death in their home in 1991. The theory was that this group of teenagers broke in, murdered the husband, raped his wife before killing her, and then had a party at the house, and supposedly videotaped all of this. It was a complex case, and there are a lot of other details that I am probably forgetting, but from what I can remember, it was a very bizarre and disturbing story.

Justin

I don't remember that case at all.....does anyone here remember it???

Neither does the other case of the girl dedicating the song to her dad...anyone know more information on this case.

I thought i have seen them all!!

I know for a fact crystaldawn remembers the first case I mentioned.

I don't have any new information (it doesn't ring any bells with me either) but I can tell you that whoever said it was part of one of the early Pre-Stack specials is wrong. I've seen all three, and this doesn't fit with any of the cases profiled.

Justin

crystaldawn · 11-19-2004, 12:55 PM

I also remember Justin's story, but my memory is sketchy as well. It wasn't one of the really early ones, but I lived in Louisiana at the time and I do remember the murders took place somewhere in that state. I seem to remember that the couple also had a baby, who was found unharmed. It would be nice to find out their names to see if there's anything on the net about it.

I know that the body of the 1980 fire victim was buried (along with Geneva Roberts). The grave read Clarence Roberts' year of death as 1980. As for the victim in the 1970 fire, I'm not certain.

But I agree that they could (and should) try a DNA test. It's worth the expense to find some answers. On a related subject, the 1970 victim's blood type was different from Clarence's. Unless a clerical error has been made, the body in the 1970 fire could not have been that of Clarence Roberts.
