Nature comes in many forms, and this, was just a random find, but also a reminder of how beautiful this world can be, no matter how small.

We are saddened to learn the tragic death of Ann Widdecombe. May you be at peace and may justice be served ♥️

St Martins Church. A beautiful yet mysterious place that holds a heavy feeling.

The world has lost another great. Her music will live on and her memory will stay in our hearts. May you rest in peace. Bonnie Tyler ♥️

@RadioRoddy Wow. I’ve heard many different stories related to this subject and I have to say there must be something in it.

@IBPIR24 My wife ( God rest her soul ) once told me she was getting ready to come to bed, when she saw me walking around the house, checking all the door and windows one at a time.. she didn't think much of it, until she left me to it, went into our room, and found me fast asleep in bed

😳

So with CERN officially shut off, do you feel any different? Do you notice anything different? You may have heard the stories about the weather improving, sleeping better at night, so what do you think?

Nancy Guthrie (sometimes referred to as Nanci) is the 84-year-old mother of NBC’s Today show co-anchor Savannah Guthrie. She disappeared from her home in Catalina Foothills, a suburb of Tucson, Arizona, around February 1, 2026. Authorities are investigating it as a kidnapping or abduction. Background Nancy Ellen Long Guthrie was born in 1942 in Kentucky. She had lived in the Tucson area for decades, was widowed since 1988, and had three children, including Savannah. She was described as independent, mentally sharp, active in her church, and living alone, though she had limited mobility and required daily medication for a chronic condition. The Disappearance •On the evening of January 31, 2026, she was dropped off at home around 9:50 p.m. by her son-in-law after a family dinner. •She was expected at a church livestream the next morning (February 1) but did not appear. •Family members checked her home and reported her missing around noon. •Evidence at the scene included signs of a struggle, bloodstains confirmed to be hers via DNA near the front door, her phone and medications left behind, and a missed transmission from her bedside pacemaker monitor in the early morning hours. Surveillance footage from her doorbell camera showed a masked, gloved individual (appearing armed and carrying a backpack) tampering with the camera in the early morning hours. The FBI later released images and video of this person. The Pima County Sheriff’s Department (lead agency), with assistance from the FBI and others, treated the home as a crime scene. Extensive searches covered nearby desert areas, with additional tips and volunteer efforts (including near the U.S.-Mexico border). No arrests have been made, and her whereabouts remain unknown after more than five months. Ransom Notes and Other Developments Multiple ransom notes demanding cryptocurrency were sent to media outlets shortly after her disappearance, some including specific details about her. One note claimed she had died shortly after being taken. The family made public appeals, offered a $1 million reward for information leading to her recovery, and sought proof of life. As of early July 2026, the FBI has determined some of the publicized ransom notes to be fakes or extortion attempts. However, the agency has stated that it is still evaluating others that might be legitimate, and the case continues to be investigated as a kidnapping for ransom. DNA and other forensic leads are ongoing. Savannah Guthrie and her siblings have been actively involved in appeals but were cleared of any involvement. The case has drawn widespread national attention. The investigation remains open and active, with tips encouraged through law enforcement channels. This is a high-profile unsolved case with many unanswered questions.

The Somerton Man (also called the Taman Shud Case) is one of Australia’s most famous unsolved mysteries, centered on an unidentified man found dead on December 1, 1948, at Somerton Park beach near Adelaide, South Australia. Discovery Early that morning, a couple spotted the body of a middle-aged man (estimated 40–45 years old) lying against a seawall, legs extended and crossed, as if asleep. He was well-dressed in a suit, tie, and shoes that looked recently polished. A half-smoked cigarette rested on his collar. Witnesses from the previous evening had seen a similar man in the same spot, motionless even as mosquitoes swarmed—some thought he was drunk or sleeping. No one saw his face clearly, and he didn’t react to passersby. Physical Description and Autopsy The man was about 5’11” (180 cm) tall, with fair-to-ginger hair graying at the temples, gray eyes, broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and muscular calves (suggesting he often wore boots or had a dancer’s build). His hands showed no signs of manual labor. An autopsy revealed internal congestion, an enlarged spleen, liver damage, and other signs pointing to poisoning—likely a hard-to-detect cardiac glycoside (such as digitalis or ouabain). He had eaten a pasty 3–4 hours before death, but no poison was conclusively identified in tests. The coroner ruled the death unnatural but couldn’t specify suicide or murder. The body was later embalmed because police couldn’t identify him. Personal Items and Clues His pockets held: •An unused second-class train ticket from Adelaide to Henley Beach. •A bus ticket. •Chewing gum, matches, and cigarettes (some from a different brand). •No wallet, ID, or hat. All clothing labels had been deliberately removed. In a hidden fob pocket, investigators later found a tiny torn scrap of paper printed with “Tamám Shud” (Persian for “It is ended” or “It is finished”). The Suitcase and the Book Police found a brown suitcase at Adelaide railway station that likely belonged to him (checked in the day before). It contained clothes (some labels removed, others with names like “T. Keane” that led nowhere), slippers, a dressing gown, shaving gear, a sharpened table knife, scissors, and other items suggesting possible ties to merchant shipping or travel. Sand in the trouser cuffs matched the beach. The “Tamám Shud” scrap came from the final page of a rare edition of The Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám, a book of Persian poetry. The book was located in a nearby parked car. Inside the back cover were indentations from handwriting: a local phone number (which led to a woman who said she didn’t know the man), another number, and a short, cryptic sequence of letters resembling a code. That code has never been deciphered despite decades of efforts. Investigation and Theories The man had arrived in Adelaide by train (possibly from Melbourne or elsewhere), checked his suitcase, and traveled toward the beach area. No missing persons reports matched him, and dental records, fingerprints, and photos circulated widely yielded nothing. The case drew huge attention due to the Cold War era, the apparent use of an undetectable poison, the secret code, and the complete lack of identification. Theories have included: •Suicide. •Murder (possibly espionage-related, given the timing and mysterious elements). •The man being a spy or someone hiding his identity. A plaster cast was made of his body, and the case became known as one of Australia’s profound mysteries. Later Developments In 2022, researcher Derek Abbott and colleagues used DNA from hairs found on the body (via genetic genealogy) to identify the man as Carl “Charles” Webb, born in 1905 in Melbourne—an electrical engineer and instrument maker. However, official authorities have not fully confirmed this identification, and key questions remain: Why was he there? How exactly did he die? Was it suicide, murder, or something else? The motive and full circumstances are still unknown.

@BrentSwancer I don’t believe for a second they simply got lost. I have always suspected foul play.

@IBPIR24 This is one of the weirdest disappearance and death cases out there.

The Panama hikers incident refers to the 2014 disappearance and deaths of two young Dutch women, Kris Kremers (21) and Lisanne Froon (22), while hiking the El Pianista trail near Boquete, Panama. Background Kris and Lisanne were students from Amersfoort, Netherlands. They traveled to Panama in mid-March 2014 for a volunteer trip working with children in Boquete, after touring the country. On April 1, 2014, they set out around 11 a.m. for what was supposed to be a day hike on the popular El Pianista trail (a roughly 2.5-mile route with significant elevation gain leading to a scenic overlook in the cloud forest near Barú Volcano). They reportedly took a local family’s dog with them and had brunch with two Dutch men beforehand. They carried light supplies: one backpack, water, phones, a camera, and minimal clothing. They never returned and missed a scheduled appointment with a local guide the next morning. Timeline of Events and Evidence •April 1–2, 2014: They began the hike. Emergency calls (to 112 and 911) were attempted around 4:39–4:51 p.m. from their phones (Kris’s iPhone 4 and Lisanne’s Samsung Galaxy S III), but there was no signal. No further successful calls were made. •Phone activity: Lisanne’s phone battery died by April 4. Kris’s phone was turned on intermittently until April 11 (last use around 11:56 a.m.), with unsuccessful PIN attempts in between. •Camera photos: Lisanne’s Canon PowerShot camera contained daytime photos from the hike on April 1. Then, on the night of April 8 (between ~1–4 a.m.), about 90 flash photos were taken in near-total darkness. These show blurry jungle scenes, rocks, scattered items (e.g., a twig with plastic, tissues, a mirror, possible backpack strap), and one image of the back of Kris’s head (some reports mention what appears to be blood or injury). One photo was reportedly missing/deleted. •June 14, 2014: A local woman found Lisanne’s blue backpack on a riverbank near Alto Romero (in the Bocas del Toro area, downstream along the Culubre/Culebra River, far from the trail). It was in good, relatively clean/dry condition and contained their phones, the camera, cash ($88), sunglasses, bras, a water bottle, and other items. •Later searches: Scattered human remains were found along the river—including a foot in a boot (still laced), a pelvis, and about 33 bone fragments total (roughly 5–10% of their skeletons). DNA confirmed they belonged to Kris and Lisanne. Kris’s denim shorts were found separately on a rock. Some of Lisanne’s remains had skin attached; Kris’s bones were described as bleached/white with unusual phosphorus levels not matching local soil. No clear trauma marks were found on the bones under magnification. Official Conclusion and Theories Panamanian authorities concluded it was a tragic hiking accident: the women likely got lost or disoriented (possibly after venturing off-trail or crossing a “monkey bridge”), fell from cliffs or into the river, and their bodies were scattered by currents and elements. Dutch forensic experts largely supported this, citing the rugged terrain with steep drops, fast rivers, and hazards. No definitive cause of death was established (e.g., no clear evidence of violence, animal scavenging marks, or foul play). Speculation and controversies persist due to odd details: the backpack’s pristine condition and contents despite weeks in a rainy jungle, the nighttime photos and phone activity days later, the scattered remains with inconsistent decomposition, and criticisms of the initial search efforts. Theories of foul play (e.g., murder by locals or others) have circulated, though evidence for this is lacking and dismissed by forensics. The case has inspired books, podcasts, documentaries, and online discussions. It remains one of the more haunting mysteries in terms of exact circumstances, even if accident is the prevailing explanation. A memorial exists along the trail today. Some consider this as a cold case, what do you think?

One of the most infamous cold cases of all time, at the hands of the one they called Jack the Ripper. Who do you think he was?

Cold Case begins….. The case of Brian Egg refers to the unsolved 2018 homicide of a 65-year-old man in San Francisco whose headless and handless torso was discovered concealed in a fish tank inside his own home. Background Brian Egg lived in a home on Clara Street in San Francisco’s South of Market (SoMa) neighborhood. Neighbors described him as a quiet, friendly man who walked his dog regularly and helped people in need, sometimes allowing others to stay with him. He was last seen in late May 2018.29 His family grew concerned after limited contact. His brother received a suspicious voicemail (Egg reportedly didn’t use one) and a call from someone claiming Egg was walking his dog. Neighbors noticed strangers at the home and posted about his absence on Nextdoor around early August. Police conducted initial welfare checks but found nothing obviously suspicious at first, as someone claimed Egg was on vacation. His sister filed a missing persons report on August 7.30. Discovery On August 14, neighbors reported suspicious activity, including a crime scene cleaning crew arriving at the home. Police responded and arrested Robert McCaffrey (then 52) inside. They later arrested Lance Silva (then 39) at a nearby hotel. Over several days, a thorough search with cadaver dogs revealed a concealed area (described as behind a wall/picture or under a staircase) containing a large fish tank. Inside was a decomposed human torso submerged in liquid/chemicals, weighed down with items like a carpet, Drano bottles, and an iron sawhorse. The head and hands were missing. DNA testing confirmed it was Brian Egg. The San Francisco Medical Examiner’s autopsy (finalized in May 2019) ruled the death a homicide due to blunt-force trauma. The dismemberment and concealment suggested an attempt to hide the crime. Investigation and Suspects Silva and McCaffrey were initially charged with homicide, identity theft, financial crimes (including elder abuse), and related offenses. Evidence included: •Use of Egg’s credit/debit cards (e.g., purchasing a BMW in early June 2018; Silva was identified in the transaction). •Living in Egg’s home and attempting to clean it.31 Prosecutors later dropped the homicide and related charges, citing the need for further investigation. McCaffrey was released; Silva was held longer on an unrelated probation violation but eventually released. No one has been convicted. The case remains unsolved as of recent reports (into 2026), with Egg’s head and hands never recovered. Police have described it as ongoing with active leads, but friends and neighbors have expressed frustration, feeling the suspects “gotten away with murder.” Aftermath The case gained significant media attention due to its gruesome details and has been featured in true crime coverage, including an episode of Unsolved with James Patterson on Fox Nation.31 Egg’s family sold the home. It highlights issues like transient activity in the area, delayed police response to welfare checks, and challenges in prosecuting such cases without stronger direct evidence. This is a disturbing, real unsolved mystery with no clear resolution yet.

Anyone remember this?

Did they or didn’t they?

@PaDaGal I remember that, awful.

Well, we had to explore this one. So here’s the stats. McDonald’s sells roughly 6.5 million burgers (hamburgers and similar beef patties like cheeseburgers, Big Macs, etc.) per day worldwide. Now people have questioned where is all this meat coming from? Is it really because we do have enough livestock? Is it lab grown? Or is there something far more sinister at play? A conspiracy is just this.

@psychedeli52876 Can’t say I have but we check that out.

@IBPIR24 Have you seen this? No, I'm not saying this is what is being used for 'filler'. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soylent_G…
