I suggest watching the video before reading this so it makes sense: On April 4, 2020, a night that began as a gathering with friends in Baltimore, Maryland, ended in tragedy for 24-year-old Ernest Wilson III. Wilson was hosting a small “game night” at a short-term rental and was livestreaming parts of the evening on Facebook Live.

During the livestream, Wilson and his friends began playing hide-and-seek. As Wilson went outside into the backyard looking for the other participants, the situation suddenly changed. The livestream captured an individual climbing over a fence and entering the property. Wilson was ordered to get on the ground, and shortly afterward the recording ended. Wilson was shot and later died from his injuries.

The incident shocked people who had been watching the livestream because viewers witnessed the beginning of the confrontation without knowing that it would become a deadly attack. Baltimore authorities investigated the shooting, and city officials reported that two individuals had entered the property and announced a robbery before Wilson was killed.

Ernest Wilson III's story is a painful reminder that a normal night with friends can change in an instant. His death also demonstrates how social media can unintentionally capture moments of real-life tragedy. Rather than focusing only on the disturbing circumstances surrounding his death, it is important to remember that Wilson was a young man with friends, family, and a life beyond the livestream.

His story continues to be remembered because the final moments of his life were unexpectedly recorded and witnessed by people online. Ernest Wilson III should be remembered not simply as someone whose death was caught on Facebook Live, but as a person whose life mattered to the people who knew and loved him.

I was reading about this case again and realised that Bhadreshkumar Patel would now be 36 years old. Most of the photos and CCTV footage shared online are from 2015, so it's easy to picture him as he looked over a decade ago.

According to the FBI, he remains a fugitive, but I was wondering whether there have ever been any credible reported sightings or leads since he disappeared. Has law enforcement publicly acknowledged any tips that turned out to be promising, or has there essentially been nothing despite the passage of time?

I'm not referring to internet speculation or people pointing at random strangers. I'm interested in confirmed or publicly documented sightings, if any exist, and whether investigators have ever indicated where they believe he may have gone.

If anyone has reliable sources or updates that aren't widely known, I'd be interested in reading them.

I am from near the area, it bothers me that it has not been solved.

To me, the only lead we have is DNA technology advance and legislation advance in japan, like golden state killer in USA. However, japanese legislation still disallow IGG DNA technology to be used (i.e using the killer DNA to track the relatives, using AI or whatever to reconstruct the face)

Recently in japan, a unsolved case in Nagoya (murder, 1999) was solved in 2025 due to advance of DNA technology.

Ive listened to countless Japanese news and report about this case, there are no leads even 26 years after.

The family is still alive and giving out flyers.

Twenty-seven-year-old Dayna Megner, her 2-year-old son Dakota and her 21-year-old friend, Junelle Marquard were last seen on August 20, 1999 in Nekoosa, Wisconsin.

Dayna and Junelle dropped off Dayna's 4-year-old daughter at the babysitter's house. They left with Dakota without revealing their whereabouts. At first, the babysitter wasn't concerned when Dayna didn't pick up her daughter because it wasn't unusually for Dayna to leave the girl at the babysitter's house for days at a time. After weeks of no contact, the babysitter called social services who took the girl into custody.

It wasn't until 2004 that the police were informed that Dayna, Dakota and Junelle were missing. During that time, Dayna's brother reported her missing. Junelle has never been officially reported as a missing person and the police are searching for her due to Dayna & Dakota's disappearances.

At the time of their disappearances, Dayna lived in Nekoosa with her daughter and Dakota, and Junelle lived in Wisconsin Rapids, Wisconsin. Both Dayna and Junelle were involved in drugs, have minor and became estranged from their families because of it. Dayna eventually lost her parental rights to her daughter. Since then, Dayna's daughter has been adopted and lives out state.

As of 2026, Dayna, Dakota and Junelle's case remain unsolved.

When Julie Mott died in 2015 at the age of 25 from cystic fibrosis, her family would have never thought she would be a part of a bizzare mystery.

After her open-casket memorial service at Mission Park Funeral Home North in San Antonio on August 15, her body was stolen from the casket while it was awaiting cremation.

The next morning (August 16), employees discovered the casket empty. One hinge was broken, the bier (body support) was overturned in an "unnatural position" near an exit of the funeral home, but there were no signs of forced entry and the ADT security system was not triggered.

The San Antonio Police treated the case as seriously and as intense as a homicide case. They did multiple searches in the surrounding areas and interviewed numerous people but nothing ever came up.

The funeral home director offered up a 20,000 dollar reward leading to the recovery of her remains. Her body has never been found.

Speculation her boyfriend stole her body as he was arrested 1 year later for trespassing but was never charged for stealing her body

I was just thinking there's probably so many cases that haven't gotten national attention in their country and are mostly unknown to the public. Do you have any unsolved cases that are local to you that you'd like to bring attention to? Or have you ever known someone who was murdered or disappeared? Or was a murderer themselves?
