      According to Don Lemon and CNN The Malaysia flight was lost due to a wormhole lol. Idiots at CNN.
      That second part was called "Earth noise". It makes weird metal on metal sound of heavy equipment but it's not. It's a common phenomena and I have heard it myself a few times. Although where I am it sounds like metal on metal, but also has this bass noise to it as well like a thumping. It's VERY low and not everyone can hear ir, but it does sound like it's coming from very far away and it makes things rattle, like pictures and what not..

I'm an Oregonian and I recently saw reports on the local news about him and I was shocked that he still hadn't been found, but considering the sheer lack of leads, clues and anything that might tip authorities off makes unfortunate sense. Part of me hopes that he'll one day be found... but the other part of me knows the kid is gone.

      In the 80s when my family went on holiday, my baby sister would be left alone in her cot, in the holiday chalet. Each chalet had a baby listening device - so that if a baby starts crying, a sign would be put up in the main entertainment hall, and the parent(s) would leave the show to go and attend to the baby.

    Two more cases: disappearance of 8-yea-old Relisha Rudd, from Washington, D.C., 10 years ago this month; the disappearance of toddler siblings Jacob and Sarah Hoggle, from Montgomery County, Maryland, 10 years ago this coming September.
    In both of these awful cases, the local authorities are fairly certain of the identities of the people responsible, but they don’t have access to the victims’ remains. In Rudd’s case, the man responsible for at least her disappearance killed himself (after he murdered his wife). Regarding the Hoggle children, their mother - the person believed responsible for at least their disappearance - has been declared incompetent and by Maryland law cannot be tried. (She won’t cooperate, and prosecutors believe she is faking the severity of her schizophrenia.)

      Exactly! Thank you. And we know she used the fire escape to access the roof which was apparently incredibly easy. The tank was left open by workers (not the first time) because it's heavy and it was easier to leave it open if they were in the process of working on something. Which they absolutely should not have been doing!
      In order to climb the tank, a ladder has to be used, which was also conveniently left out. She climbed in and couldn't get out because their are no ladders inside the tanks.

    I remember there being a case in New Jersey when I was 14-15yo, where 3 young boys had gone missing. Three or more days went by with no site of any of them, and then one of the parents or a neighbor opened the trunk of their car to find all three boys in it. They were filed as accidental deaths, but it never set well for me. How do 3 boys go missing with no one inspecting every nook and cranny (including trunks)? And then - this was during summer too - how could you not notice a smell in your car or the car you walk by? Still makes me feel bad for the kids and wonder if there was more to the story. That was almost 20 years ago.

    Leave Elisa Lam alone. There is no mystery. The poor girl was ill, her family confirmed that her bizarre behavior was consistent with how she behaved when off her meds, she did not close the lid (the janitor who found her did), she was undressed due to paradoxical undressing (when a person experiences hypothermia their blood gathers in their torso to protect their organs which makes the victim feel too hot and in this state they undress), and the Cecil Hotel is/was a shit hole so getting onto the roof would not have been difficult. Let this tragedy and poor girl rest, and allow her family to move on.

      Elisa Lam was found in a closed water tank at the top of the roof. The tank cover was solid metal & would've taken 2 men to remove it or put it back on top of the tank. This was stated in the police report, I believe. How in the world did she get in that tank & take off & replace that tank cover by herself?

      It's so bizaare. There is case upon case where the person who "passed" turned out to be guilty and/or the person who "failed" turned out to be innocent. Or, in one case off the top of my head, a victim had been so brainwashed by a killer that she passed when she said the guy was innocent.
      What's worse is investigators trust them. They claim they know they're unreliable but that they're a good tool. But that's not true --- they use them and either get tunnel vision or eliminate suspects all based on this junk science. (I have similar opinions about body language and handwriting analysis but that's another topic.)

I've taken it all, and have used it to finally form my own detailed theory......I really do believe that I've come to the right conclusion on many of those details, and the primary circumstances that led to their deaths, but certainly not the entire case. I don't think anyone can, short of more evidence. I'm still just as baffled in some areas, as I was immediately after learning about it on 2014.

    These are interesting mysteries. I wonder if we will ever know what happened to poor Kyron and Madelaine.

    The one with Madeline McCann‘s disappearance, who in the hell leaves their young children unattended in an apartment or a hotel room whether or not they’re next-door or not.?!? Like for real. I’m sorry I blamed the parents. Not for the her disappearance, but for not being there to protect her. Yes it is their fault for not being there. Sorry, I knew you guys can say well that’s not fair. You shouldn’t be blaming them. They’re going through enough turmoil for not knowing where their child is blah blah blah blah blah blah blah. You know damn well then if it was any other person on the face of this planet, we get blamed. Newspaper should not have had to apologize. Where were the parents they were in the apartment or hotel room whatever it was were they know they weren’t where they were supposed to be as a matter fact no adult was. They should’ve been arrested themselves for child endangerment, that is a fact

    I got stoned while watching this and at first was confused about how they had 21 feet on the beach when feet come in sets of 2..then I thought about how they could have 21 completely random feet, 10 pairs of feet and one random, or 7 pairs of feet and 7 random…the possibilities are endless and now I’m just pissed off

    Don't you love how a group called "The Guardian of Peace" threatened a terrorist act?

    Forest Grove DOES have a railroad line in it. I work near it. This is not an engine whistle.
