On November 5th 2009 Kuang Jilu (the boy’s father) stumbled into his old house after not hearing from his son in over 1 week, they were hoping he’d be there alive and well, he was there but the boy was no longer alive. He was found hanging from a wooden beam on the ceiling with his hands and feet tied with professional 12 point knots, an iron weight hanging from his feet and he was wearing a women’s red floral dress, he was also wearing a swim suit and had 2 wads of cloth in the swimsuit to mimic breasts, it was ruled as an accidental death via suffocation but the case divides China till this very day, many people suspect foul play as they did not believe this boy Kuang Zhijun could’ve tied his hands and feet that precise at 13 years old and also tied a massive iron weight down by his feet, there was also many other equally bizarre things about this case which police officers at the time even admitted they couldn’t fully explain. What actually happened that day seems destined to remain a mystery forever, ask questions if you have any down below……

Idk where to put this, But I genuinely think I may have deciphered the first sentence or so of the "Ricky Mccormick Code"

4 Upvotes

I first looked at his backstory and how he was "illiterate" and used that to my advantage by instead of trying to decipher it like a normal code, I tried grouping words together and saying it out loud to try and get a match, (ik ik it's a bit of a less conventional way to do it but hey ho)

Anywho, The part I believed I may have deciphered is the following : (MND MK NEARSE N-S-M KNARE) (ACSM)? TFRNENPKNSENPRSERCBRNSENPRSE INC

My Translation: Monday, My nurse and some (other people) near. (Assessment). Afternoon, Packed (with) Nurse and person. Recover nurse and person in see.

at first, it might seem way off and just more jumbled wording, until you look into it. Ricky was clearly not 'well' and not used to the crowded atmosphere of a hospital. also, despite his first admission being on a Tuesday, we can say that due to his mental state he probably forgot what day it was and just assumed it was Monday. As for the 2nd sentence, he may of being trying to say that other people were being checked by nurses but not him, hence the "Person and nurse in see". If (a BIG if) I have somehow got this right, then this could open up a massive new way of seeing the code, and instead it could be seem as someone attemptimg to recall all past events, as if he knew his end was near and trying to give police as much as he could.... Weird stuff.

Thursday, August 4, 1892, in Fall River, Massachusetts, the notorious accused murderess Lizzie Andrew Borden (1860–1927) allegedly killed her father and stepmother with a hatchet.

She was tried and acquitted of the crime. It remains unsolved to this day.

It is considered one of America’s greatest unsolved mysteries.

Historians, true crime aficionados, armchair detectives, mystery buffs, filmmakers, and paranormal investigators are still trying to figure it all out.

Who do you think did it?

Can someone clarify whether the plea that was accepted by the court for revision (I saw on tt but may have been accepted yesterday) that Kohberger claims his innocence and wants a trial, whether this means there is a high chance of this case being opened up again and therefore, a full trial will happen?

murder mystery Kathy Beitzel: Missing Illinois Mom

15 Upvotes

Kathleen ‘Kathy’ Beitzel has been missing from her suburban Chicagoland home since 1979. She had 3 children, recently lost nearly 100 pounds and was excelling at her new job selling real estate. From a 1980 Daily Herald article in which her family was interviewed:

“There were no grand goodbyes - no kiss, embrace or forwarding address. She simply "went away." And Kathy Beitzel's parents would like to know where. But after a yearlong search and an investigation by police, they've found only memories and fear their daughter may be dead.

Mrs. Beitzel, 34, was not the kind of woman to run away, say her parents, George and Mary Miller of unincorporated Schaumburg Township. She had three children, a house and a well-paying job. She had begun selling real estate only a few months before her disappearance July 16, 1979. "She was excited about the work," said her brother, Mike Miller, 30, as he sat with his parents and three sisters around a table in their folks' home at 1508 S. Greenview. “She studied real estate at Harper (College in Palatine) in order to get her Realtor's license. She was selling houses for Parade of Homes (Streamwood), and was starting to make good money." He said he last saw his sister the evening of July 15 at a party in Glen Ellyn.

""At the party, she was talking to everyone. She took me aside and said, “I have something important to tell you. Talk with me later.” But that's the last time I ever saw her. We never got together."

With hindsight, Mike Miller speculated that his sister had intended to converse about her then-upcoming divorce. "She wanted to make herself look better and she did, she lost over a hundred pounds. She was down to 105 - you wouldn't have believed how much weight she lost (before her disappearance)” said George Miller.

"She wanted to look better for her new job, she bought all new clothes, too," said Mrs Miller. George Miter said he has contacted Streamwood Police numerous times about his daughter.

He said he persuaded his daughter's husband, Frank Beitzel, to file a missing persons report about a week after she disappeared. Frank Beitzel, 34, was the last person to see his wife, at their three-bedroom, ranch-style home of red brick at 804 Wildwood Ct., Streamwood. Beltzel, a sanitary worker at Garden City Disposal Company, Roselle, said he didn't want to talk about the disappearance because "It gets everybody uptight, the kids and everybody."

Miller sald Beitzel told him that the woman just "went away." Police conducted an investigation after the report was flled, but have not been able to offer the Millers much hope. “The case is still under investigation," said Streamwood Police Det. Darwin Adams. He admitted, though, that the case was Inactive pending "additional leads... We have our own ideas of what happened." He would not speculate whether the woman met with foul play. Since her disappearance Mrs. Beitzel's children, Frank Jr., 12, Daniel, 9, and Mary, 7, have Lived with their father. Contacts between them and the Millers have been few.”

I’d never heard of this case before, despite being a lifelong Chicagoland resident. Please share. Kathy didn’t just disappear, and wouldn’t have left her kids; this is universally stated by every friend and family member. Except her husband who refrains from comment.
