This boy tried to make a nuclear reactor in his shed
We’ve all heard of childhood geniuses, and generally regard them as important contributors to society. The successes of these exceptional children are always considered to be inspirational and precious, but what happens when a child genius goes bad? What do you get when when genius becomes reckless and unmonitored in childhood? What you get is David Charles Hahn, the boy scout who created a small nuclear disaster in his mother’s potting shed.
This is a tragic story of unbridled intelligence and lots of illegally acquired smoke detectors. …
A potential hit and run victim has been unidentified since 1975
There are over 40,000 unidentified body cases in the United States that remain unsolved. Each one of these people had a story, a family, and a life. To uncover the forgotten stories of these people, and to bring them justice, is incredibly important. Today, we’re heading to Tennessee to take a look at at a Jane Doe case with few details, but that still needs to be shared. This is the story of Maury County Jane Doe as we know it to be for now.
Circumstances
Maury County, Tennessee is a small county only 50 miles from Nashville. It’s centered around…
The sinking of the Wilhelm Gustloff: the worst and frequently overlooked maritime disaster
When you think of maritime disasters, the first name that comes to your mind is probably the Titanic or Lusitania. Those who have gone farther down the rabbit hole of maritime disasters may think of the Halifax explosion. There are a lot of ways to quantify the magnitude of these disasters, but an easy way is through the death toll. All these disasters claimed thousands of lives, and injured many more, but if you were to add the deaths of all four of these together you would still be 4,522 deaths away from the number of deaths claimed by the…
Carolyn Eaton, previously “Valentine Sally”, is the latest success story in Genealogical DNA, giving hope to other doe cases
This morning I sat down to write about a well known Jane Doe case. I had been first introduced to it back in 2018, and it had been at the back of my mind ever since. It was one of those cases that just stuck with me, so by mid February I decided I was going to write my second Doe article on her. I had already done my preliminary research on it two weeks prior, but today I sat down to look for more sources after having to take a break due to school work. When I typed the…
A man was murdered in rural Alaska forty two years ago, but his name remains a mystery
Most unidentified persons cases follow a similar thread, but some just catch your attention for a variety of different reasons. Sometimes it’s a unique circumstance, potential theory, or just something that sets that person apart from other cold cases. One eyed Jack Doe has a lot of things that set him apart from your average unidentified body cold case, but mostly it’s how close we are to knowing who he is. …
Formerly Soviet Russia can be a mysterious place. If you’ve been to the spooky side of YouTube or Reddit you’ve probably heard of the Dyatlov Pass incident where nine experienced hikers died mysteriously in the Russian Ural mountains. This case has been spoken about so many times that it is not worth repeating again, but there is another very similar case that is not so well known. The Dyatlov incident was not the only mysterious hiker death to grace Soviet Siberia. The Khamar Daban (also called Hamar Daban or Chamar Daban) mountain range is in southern Siberia’s Buryatia region, perched…
The Elisa Lam case is one that is full of misinformation, speculation, and wild theories. Today, on the eighth anniversary of her death, I want to give a detailed report on this case, and hopefully put to rest some of the confusion and conspiracy theories that surround this death. This whole story had been dramatized and monetized by dozen of YouTubers, media sources, and Tik Tokers. It is time that Elisa Lam is remembered not as a supernatural and creepy story, but as a tragic story of a real person. …
