the most scary part is tape recording. in backpack they found tape and played it. it was man voice screaming s o s help me i can not move. sounds not like human but like someone copying human. police play tape to parents and they say not our son voice. so who make the sign? local rumor in hokkaido says after police took body the sos sign appear again. logs back in same spot but nobody climb mountain. rumor is the thing making sign is not human but a mimic or yokai. it learned that sos brings humans which is food from sky. the tape was not distress call it was like duck call for humans. even today we get scared seeing birch trees.
Hundreds of investigators have been working around the clock to figure out how 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie vanished from her home in the middle of the night. Guthrie is the mother of Today show host Savannah Guthrie, and the case has captured the attention of people around the world.
Countless groups have popped up on social media as ordinary people try to help solve the mystery, and the FBI has revealed that it's received more than 20,000 tips from the public. Despite this, the elderly woman remains missing, and nobody has been formally charged or arrested in connection with her disappearance.
There are fears from some quarters that the Nancy Guthrie case — like many others — may go "cold." But what does this even mean?

"A cold case is just that—an investigation of a crime, usually a violent one, where all leads have been exhausted, and the trail has gone cold," explains the FBI site.
According to A&E TV, which has a crime and investigation department, criminal cases are generally considered to go 'cold' when no progress—no new evidence, lab results, or suspects—has occurred for about a year.
There are hundreds of thousands of cases that remain unsolved in the United States alone, with families of victims left to live with the uncertainty of not knowing what happened to their loved ones.

The mysterious thing about the m*****s are that the m******r seemed to live on the property a few days after they k****d the family. They ate the food in the house, fed the animals on the property and used the fireplace.
A few days before the m*****s, one of the daughters of the family reported hearing steps on the attic but nothing/no one was found.
Aaron Benzick is the founder of the non-profit "Solve the Case." It's an organization that works toward finding missing persons and solving cold cases with modern technology and the internet.
He says that an old, unsolved case means just as much as a current case to the family of the victim. "I would argue that some of these older cases can be even more important because those families are stuck without answers for so long," Benzick told A&E TV. "That lack of follow-up from law enforcement [leaves] some of the families thinking that cases are being looked at when they may not be."

Some assumed they got lost and passed away due to hypothermia but this theory quickly got overturned because investigators found out 3 of the boys sustained damage on their skull which were made when they were still alive. Till this day nobody knows what really happened, various theories exist but they have their own flaws. We literally have 0 clues or evidence. The statue of limitations for this case expired in 2006, so it's impossible to punish the m******r(s) even if they turned themselves over.

It's always been puzzling how a thing as big as that just vanished without any sign. They are about to search for it again so I hope the families would have closure this time.
Many cold cases date back decades, and that's because there was limited technology back in the day to solve cases.
"In the 1970s and '80s, and even into the early '90s, you were limited to what you could do with a fingerprint," says the former head of Cobb County's Cold Case Unit, Detective John Dawes. "By the time we're looking at cold cases in 2014, we had access to check that lifted print from a crime scene…to see if we could find a match through the Automated Fingerprint Identification System (AFIS)."
Dawes adds that in the mid-1980s, DNA analysis didn't exist yet. "But when we came across a case where there was blood [at a crime scene] that we believed to be a suspect's... we still collected it. Because even back then, they could do some typing to classify the blood."
Fast forward decades, and those specimens can now be used to crack cold cases.

There's lots of crazy conspiracy theories about what happened. My favorite I've heard is that he was secretly a spy for China and hitched a ride on a Chinese submarine.
Dawes says technology has been "invaluable to a detective" because it grows every day. But despite advancements in technology, Benzick argues that the biggest breakthrough in cold cases isn't coming from DNA work.
"It's actually coming from people who know something coming forward, detectives following up in interviews, knocking on that door, following up on a witness [who says], 'Hey, I've been waiting for you to follow up on this for years,'" he reveals.

The Nancy Guthrie case has become somewhat of a circus on social media, with armchair detectives, Youtubers, and ordinary citizens doing their own investigations — parallel to the FBI and the sheriff's office. But while internet sleuthing can harm a case, Benzick believes it can also help to solve it — if done right.
"Social media is 100% doing more good than bad. Is there noise out there that frustrates things and affects families in a significant way? 100%," he says. "There are some people who take these stories and sensationalize them simply for the views and turn them into entertainment. What social media does is it gets these cases visible and gets them in front of people who are in the area who may have known something."

RIP Kris Kremers and Lisanne Froon.

Benzick argues that social media platforms are "very targeted to geographic areas," and this is beneficial when it comes to solving crimes and cold cases. He says that the more visibility a case gets, the more likely it is that it'll end up in front of someone who knows something... The goal, he explains, is to make sure the victims are never forgotten.
Dawes agrees. If he had to give one piece of advice to detectives working in a cold case unit, it would be this: "Never give up. The only way you solve these cases is to never let them sit."

From wiki: Jane Nartare Beaumont (born 10 September 1956), Arnna Kathleen Beaumont (born 11 November 1958) and Grant Ellis Beaumont (born 12 July 1961), collectively referred to as the Beaumont children, were three Australian siblings who disappeared from Glenelg Beach near Adelaide, South Australia, on 26 January 1966 (Australia Day) in a suspected abduction and m****r.
The case received worldwide attention and is credited with causing a change in Australian lifestyles, since parents began to believe that their children could no longer be presumed to be safe when unsupervised in public. Police and media speculation has linked the disappearances to the Adelaide Oval abductions of 1973. Interest in the case has continued for more than half a century. As of 2018, a A$1 million reward has been offered for information related to the cold case by the South Australian government.
The family m**ders is pretty messed up also. One suspect was caught and died in prison recently but he never disclosed any useful information.

Known flippantly as the ‘Spy in a bag’ case.

She was a 15-year-old Vatican citizen who went missing on June 22, 1983 in Rome after she finished her routinely music lessons at school. Her schoolmates, who were the last people who saw her, claim that the last time they saw Emanuela was at the bus stop where she told her friends she wouldn’t take the bus with them because it was too crowded. She never made it back home.
Her disappearance still haunts Italians and after more than 40 years it’s still a mystery than everyone has heard about. She was never found and it’s still unknown if she is still alive or not (even though it’s highly likely that she’s died at this point).
Her family and the public opinion generally agree that the Vatican state has something to do with her disappearance and that people in the h**h places don’t want anyone to discover the truth because of the scandal it would cause.
Many tracks have been followed, including that it was a political kidnapping related to the attempted m****r of Pope John Paul II by Mehmet Ali Agca (who still claims that Emanuela is still alive hidden somewhere in either France or Switzerland).
The disappearance of another 15-year-old girl just a month before Emanuela’s (Mirella Gregori, disappeared on May 7, 1983) and the unsolved m****r mystery of a 17-year-old girl (Katty Skerl, found dead on January 21, 1984), both in Rome, have also been linked to the Orlandi case.

Another one was the YOGTZE case but they actually closed the case last year. And well, it was just an accident, so no mystery at all.

The parents, frustrated with the police investigation hired their own investigators and found a whole lot of evidence, from her phone and ID in completely different locations, to camera footage showing her walking in strange locations but also missing camera footage from several directions. But most importantly, they found that her watch kept track of her movements, and she only moved several hunderd meters, but nowhere near the 5km to the train tracks. The parents also found out that a guy who texted Dascha strange messages that same night, that the police claimed was a child so they didn't really investigate, was in reality a 27 year old guy with a criminal record.

The police investigation was confusing and changed many times. In the beginning, the police suspected Aarushi’s parents, Rajesh and Nupur Talwar. Later, the Central Bureau of Investigation took over the case, but even they gave different possible explanations. In 2013, a court said the parents were guilty and sent them to jail for life. However, in 2017, the Allahabad H**h Court said there was not enough clear proof against them and freed them,, Even today, many people feel the case is not fully solved. It became one of India’s most talked about crime cases and raised questions about police work and media reporting.
A movie called Talvar was made in 2015 based on the case. It showed different possible versions of what might have happened.
