Mystifyingly Missing, True Crime & Thought-provoking Events

Mystifyingly missing? Is a podcast that will explore both solved and unsolved, both famous and not so famous disappearances and true crime cases. We will explore why some cases make headlines, while others are pushed aside. We will look at why the memory and legacy of some events endure while other disappearances are forgotten. We willl also look at media, and see if or how they impacted the investigation, and whether they hurt or hindered the case. We will also explore overshadowed events, odd coincidences and anything else that can make you make use of your "little gray cells."

The loss of one child who went missing seems unbearable.  Two going missing seems absolutely unimaginable. Here is the tale of two brothers, the Palmer brothers, who went missing years apart in Alaska, with hardly any clues to lead investigators in any direction.

This episode will cover 3 recent identifications of Jane and John Does. Improvements in DNA technology have allowed law enforcement to explore avenues that would not have been thought of when some of these remains were found. More and more people, both unidentified victims as well as unidentified perpetrators, are being identified at a much quicker pace than ever before, bringing at least some closure to the victims’ loved ones.

On Thanksgiving Eve in 1930, The Germond Family was killed, shocking Duchess County, NY and the whole nation.  While this grisly unsolved crime took the lives of an entire close family unit, it has not had as much coverage or discussion as some other family murders.  It has been over 90 years now, but is there any evidence left, or anyone, that can ever shed any light onto this case?

This episode will cover the crash of the Virgin Enterprise Spaceship, which took place 8 years earlier as of the publication of this episode. Today I hope that we can look at the term “pilot error” and understand the high level of detail and demand that each pilot has to undertake and understand that sometimes the stresses placed on an individual is too much to expect when the margin of error is a fraction of a second.

This is Part 2 of the Stayner Brothers, following the crimes that Cary committed years after Steven's death.  There will be some insight by family, but it does truly leave a question about how much, if at all, the events that catapulted his family into the national spotlight impacted his urge to commit murder.

Today we will explore the crash of a 1964 flight, TWA 800.  While many of us will think of the flight accident in 1996, a TWA flight of the same number crashed and caught fire on take off in Rome.  Lessons were not learned from this flight, we have to wonder what would have happened during some future accidents if these lessons had been heeded.

Eric was reported as missing, but almost everybody (or truly everybody) knew where he was.  No one would let his loved ones find him though.  Were lies told?  Whose fault was it?  Why did his family have to suffer through 3 years of fighting to find him? Could this all have been avoided?

Join me as I explore the truly frustrating, anger inducing and heartbreaking case of Eric Haider.
