Booger Presley posted:The part of the story that really got to me happened after a town hall meeting. There had already been numerous rapes of single women at this point and the residents were holding a meeting with police about safety and what efforts were being taken to catch the guy. One citizen stated that if the rapist tried to break in or try anything with his wife, he'd shoot the guy. (Something to this effect.) Guess who the next victims were? Same citizen is tied up while his wife is raped, and the rapist targeted couples from then on. AKA the Golden State Killer. According to the dudes that finished up Michelle McNamaras (sp?) post humous book (I’ll be Gone in the Dark) this did not actually happen. And Casefiles is great. (As always LPotL can suck a dick).

xtal posted:Second to my last quote, a good thing not to google is "compartment syndrome" ah yeah, my father in law is now down half a leg because of this. Well, if you want to get technical, it was because the hospital never bothered to ice the broken leg which *led* to compartment syndrome. They also managed to lose him, not knowing whether he was checked in or out or where in the hospital he was. In short, our area hospital is pretty unnerving. A couple of years ago they discharged a dude, told him he was fine to check out, loaded him in a cab, and by the time they got to his house the dude had quietly died in the backseat.

Regarding the Stubblefield FC case: there is a PBS doc called Prisoners of Silence, available here. It's a solid debunking done in 1993. Last I checked there is still an FC practitioner featured in the film, and a program to teach FC, at Syracuse.

Naturally, because there were so many people insisting that we not look it up, I looked up hydraulic fluid injection accidents. Every single photo in the Google image search results looks like something Tom Savini would design for a George Romero movie.

An unbelievable amount of bad poo poo happens to women and girls in India, including bride kidnapping, yeah. hosed up poo poo is hosed up. Also, the child bride rate in Bihar state is out of control, so the brides are probably just as unwilling as the kidnapped grooms. hosed up people in a hosed up system loving up young men's and children's/young women's lives.

I realize she was *just* identified, but whoever rushed to update the "Identification" wiki entry cannot write good. That is just some brain hurting bad. "King was announced to have been identified on April 11, 2018. The match between her and the unidentified victim was confirmed on April 9. She was originally from Little Rock, Arkansas and had not been reported missing by her family." How hard is it to write: The Buckskin girl was positively identified April 11, 2018 as Marcia King. She was originally from Little Rock, Arkansas and had not been reported missing by her family.

Celery Face posted:Speaking of cold cases with new details, the Buckskin Girl has finally been identified. Wow, I read through that one a number of times while reading Wikipedia's articles on unidentified bodies (which sounds kind of weird now that I see it typed out). I guess she jumped out at me because her clothes were so distinctive yet nobody came out saying "oh, the deerskin poncho chick, I know her!" I won't get deep into it because I brought it up 10 pages back or so, but the unidentified bodies case I really want to see solved is the Sumter County Does: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sumter_County_Does Guy and girl found shot, found the same day as they were shot so the authorities have crystal-clear images of the fresh bodies, and presumably good fingerprints and DNA. No ID but they still had all their clothes, including very distinctive jewelry, the guy was wearing a pricey watch, and had a ring with his *goddam initials* engraved on it. Plus really fancy and elaborate dental work further testifying that he came from money. And someone who had briefly met them before they were murdered was pretty sure the guy was names Jock/Jacques (which matches the initials) and was from Canada and his dad was a doctor. So you have two completely fresh bodies, detailed list of everything they had on, the man's three-letter initials, his home country, and his dad's profession, and the guy was pretty clearly well-off. And yet with all those leads, still nobody has any idea who they are.

I got to wondering if we still have any MIAs from our lengthy wars in Afghanistan, but a CNN page updated this month says this 2012 guy was the last resolved MIA (other than the POW Bergdahl who we got back in 2014 by exchanging some Taliban prisoners).quote:Ahmed K. Altaie: Took five years to find the body, but the USMil takes this kind of thing *extremely* seriously, and is still trying to find and repatriate old bodies in Vietnam and Korea, so I imagine this came as a huge relief. Maupin was found sooner, but was also a pretty long gap between his disappearing and them finding the body. I recall his case pretty clearly because the news had some creepy photos of him in captivity. He was captured at the same time as I was stationed in Ramadi, so it was alarming news at the time.  quote:Keith Matthew Maupin: So our record on getting Iraq/Afghanistan bodies back is looking pretty good. And given that these days they take DNA samples of all military members, it's pretty much a given that we'll be able to identify any remains we get back. That led me to the question: do we even have an Unknown Soldier from the Vietnam War at the monument in Arlington cemetery? Apparently we did, but they dug him up in 1998 and managed to identify him using DNA, so now there's just an empty crypt, while the ones from WWI/WWII/Korea still have unidentified remains. quote:The remains of the Vietnam Unknown were exhumed May 14, 1998. Based on mitochondrial DNA testing, DoD scientists identified the remains as those of Air Force 1st Lt. Michael Joseph Blassie, who was shot down near An Loc, Vietnam, in 1972. It has been decided that the crypt that contained the remains of the Vietnam Unknown will remain vacant.

Wow, holy poo poo that is heartbreaking. What do they do if the missing soldier is adopted and doesn't share any DNA with their known family? How do those guys make it home so their family gets closure? I've never considered that, but it's so grim. There's gotta be people that can't be found just because they don't have a real way to confirm the remains. Do you know if they have a way to get around that? I googled and the results are pretty dark and not hopeful, but maybe you know something I don't.

Unidentified people like this unnerve me more than most things in this thread. The idea that people could be so seemingly unique but remain unidentified strikes a nerve. Seeing John and Jane Does like these makes me wonder just how many people in the U.S. are missing/dead and no one knows. That is, they dropped off the grid at some point, but no one reported them missing and they haven't been matched with an unidentified body. Reminds me of "Mary Anderson" a Jane Doe who committed suicide after checking into a fancy hotel under that fictitious name. Like the Sumpter County Does, there was evidence that she was wealthy and her method of suicide, cyanide poisoning, suggests she worked in an industry that would give her access to cyanide, but no lead ever panned out. Her suicide note is brief: quote:"To whom it may concern: I have decided to end my life and no one is responsible for my death. Mary Anderson. How many people are in the same position as she was, either no living relatives or estranged from them. No friends close enough to report you missing if you stop returning their calls.

Azathoth posted:Unidentified people like this unnerve me more than most things in this thread. The idea that people could be so seemingly unique but remain unidentified strikes a nerve. I think probably a lot of the cases involve people who crossed over into other states or jurisdictions than where the people who would be able to identify them are. So really all it takes is: 1. A person who is estranged enough from their loved ones that they wouldn't be reported missing right away. A lot of people like that maybe call home once every few weeks or once a month so their family wouldn't know anything is wrong until that amount of time has passed. 2. They travelled out of state so that the local news where their family and friends are won't be reporting the finding of a John Doe.

The attorneys in a statement argued for a federal investigation, stating that the government had failed to “understand the sentiments of the people.” Police still managed to complete the paperwork and charged the men, who include four policemen and a retired government official."

Dude was responsible for 51 rapes and 12 murders that they know of between 1976 and 1986. The real number could be much higher. They have no idea who he is and no viable leads. Thanks for the tip - I had no idea this show was on. Fortunately, this Sunday starting at 4PM CDT they're re-airing the first four episodes as a lead up to Episode 5. We're supposed to have lovely weather all weekend and I'm already planning on being homebound on Sunday. This makes it suck a bit less.

My guess would be leaning over a seat to try to grab something, but overreaching and falling upside-down between rows of seats. Usually when I've heard stories of people dying of positional asphyxiation it's because they fell head-first into a small space.
