MYSTERY CONFIDENTIAL

Charlene Downes was an English schoolgirl that went missing in Blackpool in 2003 (aged 14).  Short Video   Two men went on trial for helping dispose of her body but the jury did not reach a verdict in 2007. A £100,000 reward is on offer for finding Charlene Downes’ body. Charlene was last seen walking down Blackpool’s famous north pier. But the most shocking aspect of this case is that police and prosecution believe that she was cooked into Kebab meat. The prosecution alleged that the owner of Funny Boyz restaurant (now known as Mr Beanz) disposed of her body by adding it to kebabs and selling it to the general public, to the revellers and party-goers of Blackpool. Charlene’s younger brother admitted punching the man that faced the charges of helping dispose of her body. It’s been 20 years and Charlene’s killers were never brought to justice. Funny Boyz still stands in Blackpool, Dickson Road.  The owner of the kebab shop Mohammed Reveshi has said that he does not care wh...

The Missing Girl and the Polaroid  Tara Calico’s disappearance is an oddity, to say the least. Thirty-five years since the 19-year-old disappeared in New Mexico, a polaroid found in Florida could be the answer to the mystery.  Tara went missing while on a bike ride on the 20th of September 1988. It was the same route on New Mexico State Road that she took every day. The same sunny stretch of road that she had been riding for years.  As Tara left the house, she jokingly told her mother that she should come looking for her if  Tara didn’t return by noon.  At noon, Tara never came home.  No one witnessed the abduction, although several witnesses observed a 1953 Ford pickup with a camper shell following closely behind Tara on her bike.  It seemed like Tara was abducted in broad daylight and nobody was even around to see it…  When Tara did not return home, Tara’s mother promptly notified the police and the local community began campaigning and searchin...

  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Otto_Warmbier Tortured and “Murdered” in North Korea - The Poster Thief  What happened to American Otto Warmbier?  Otto was an American student imprisoned in North Korea in 2016. By the time he came back to the USA, he was in a severe vegetative state and died afterwards. His crime? Stealing a poster from his hotel.  It is not confirmed what happened to Otto in North Korea, but he fell into a coma while in North Korea and was returned to America while comatose. There was an injury to Otto where an unknown trauma starved his brain of oxygen. There were no fractures to his skull and the cause of death is a mystery.  Otto Warmbier was arrested at the airport while waiting to depart. Whether he even took the poster is a matter of contention. Warmbier was in NK on vacation, and it cost him his life.  USA president (at the time) discussed Warmbier’s treatment with the North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, and apparently, Kim had zero kn...

  The Vending Machine Murders 12 people were murdered and 35 were poisoned in 1985, in a rare and strange spate of indiscriminate poisonings taking place in Japanese vending machines.  Police were unable to gather sufficient evidence into the murder and the case remains unsolved.  The tainted drinks that the twelve victims consumed were predominately poisoned with paraquat (with one possible copycat case using a different substance).  Paraquat is a harmful herbicide and weed killer. It is extremely potent and harmful. The substance was banned in the UK in 2007 and it is an extremely controversial compound. There is no antidote to the substance. It will cause serious damage to the human body.  The first victim was 52-year-old Haruo Otsu from Hiroshima - on 11th September 1985. On the way to a fishing trip, Otsu bought two bottles of Oronamin C. He died the following day, getting sick after consuming two bottles of the drink.  There were 35 poisonings after t...

 

  Glenda Potter was 32 years old when she was found dead. She was stripped from the waist down and left on the grounds of Vine Church, Rochester, Kent.  The killer was never found and the case remains open.  Glenda was killed by strangulation, with sexual assault evident at the time of the killing.  Glenda left behind four children and her murder left little evidence, leaving the family unresolved to obtaining justice.  Shortly after the murder, a man was arrested over the disposal of her body but he was ruled out in 2011 - 20 years after the murder. The man stopped and the accused was just 16 at the time of the murder. His name was Malcolm Shipley, a man with a troubled future after Glenda’s death.  Glenda was a vulnerable target. She worked as a prostitute at the time of her murder. She had a drug and drink addiction and was a bit of a loner around Rochester.  This was an era before CCTV and surveillance. So, the crux of the investigation went on eye...
