Yes, such a horrible thing to happen. They will never find out what happened now.
The Madeleine McCann case is such an odd one, i think the parents know something too.

At 8:40 P.M. on May 5, 1993 the West Memphis Police Department received a call that a bleeding black man had entered the Bojangles restaurant (located near where the three bodies were eventually discovered) about thirty minutes earlier and gone into the women's rest room. Officer Regina Meek arrives on the scene at 8:50 and questioned Marty King, the restaurant's manager, through the drive-through window. King reported that the man (with muddy feet, wearing a white cap, black pants, and a blue shirt) had blood on his face and arm and appeared "mentally disoriented," but had left the restaurant a few minutes before the officer arrived. When employees entered the women's rest room they discovered blood smeared on the wall. The officer leaves the premises about 9:00 without ever setting foot inside the restaurant. The next day, Detective Byrn Ridge and Sergeant Mike Allen return to Bojangles to collect blood scrapings from the rest room wall. Unfortunately, the scrapings were never sent to a crime lab to be analyzed and were later reported lost. No additional interviews were ever conducted with Bojangles employees about the incident. In the Echols/Baldwin murder trial, prosecutor John Fogleman argued that it was "a complete absurdity" to think the criminals who took pains to hide bodies, clothing, and bicycles would, immediately thereafter, go "into a public place all covered in blood." Critics of the "Bojangles theory" also point out that the bleeding man reportedly wore a cast on one arm, a fact they say would have made it very difficult to tie up and murder the three boys.

I don't know how I missed this one but I just read the entire link you posted. Gahdamn what a cluster**** The cops really dropped the ball on that whole thing.
Them moving the bodies and letting them sit in the sun before the coroner got there
Them losing the blood scrapings from the "Bojangles" incident?
There being more blood at the actual scene of the crime that they just never tested
The father of one of the boys being suspected and passing a polygraph BUT he was also on drugs during the test
And wtf @ everybody recanting their statements. Lord.

OMG I love these stories, but at the same time they're so sad 
Just scrolling through all these people on the List of people who disappeared mysteriously on Wikipedia, so many people who've disappeared and nobody even has a clue what happened Or those cases, like Natalee Holloway, where you know that people know exactly what happened, but you'll never find out

I've always had an odd fascination of missing person's cases, here are a few that have stuck with me over the years after reading about them..
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/0...n_1467959.html
Sarah Kinslow, a 14 year old from Texas who was last seen by her father when he dropped her off at school on May 1, 2001. She was supposed to meet up with a group of friends and skip class with them that day, but her friends reported that she had never met up with them. She wrote about running away with her older boyfriend in her diary in the months before her mysterious dissapearance. There have been no significant leads towards finding her..
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sneha_Anne_Philip
Sneha Anne Phillip, a 31 year old physician who was last seen on September 10, 2001. Her dissapearance is related to the 9/11 attacks as her family believes that she may have perished in the WTC. She was last seen shopping at a Century 21 store on 9/10, and was not home later that night when her husband returned from work. When he woke for work on 9/11, she still had not returned. After her dissapearance evidence of a double life was revealed, she was having maritial problems, expirementing with women at gay clubs, problems at work, alcohol abuse, possible drug abuse etc.
Definitely a chilling case, I wonder if she was murdered or managed to run away without all of her personal information and belongings that was left in her apartment. Due to her being a doctor and living in close proximity of the twin towers, her family believes that her fate was met by trying to help victims during the 9/11 attacks.

Deaths of nine hikers in the northern Ural Mountains on the night of February 2, 1959
Investigators determined that the skiers had torn their tents from the inside out in order to escape from an apparent threat. They fled the campsite, some of them barefoot, under heavy snowfall. Although the bodies showed no signs of struggle, such as contusions, two victims had fractured skulls and broken ribs. Soviet authorities determined that an "unknown compelling force" had caused the deaths; access to the region was consequently blocked for hikers and adventurers for three years after the inciden |
This one has always stuck with me because ALL of them died.

According to Dr. Boris Vozrozhdenny, the force required to cause such damage would have been extremely high, comparing it to the force of a car crash. Notably, the bodies had no external wounds related to the bone fractures, as if they had been subjected to a high level of pressure. However, major external injuries were found on Dubinina, who was missing her tongue, eyes, part of the lips, as well as facial tissue and a fragment of skullbone;[3] she also had extensive skin maceration on the hands. It was claimed that Dubinina was found lying face down in a small stream that ran under the snow and that her external injuries were in line with putrefaction in a wet environment, and were unlikely to be related to her death.

I was done with this thread but a friend of mine sent me this very interesting case so I thought I would post this here:
The Children Who Went Up In Smoke
Quote:
|
On the night before Christmas 1945, George and Jennie Sodder and nine of their 10 children went to sleep (one son was away in the Army). Around 1 a.m., a fire broke out. George and Jennie and four of their children escaped, but the other five were never seen again
|
Quote:
[The father] raced back outside, hoping to reach them through the upstairs windows, but the ladder he always kept propped against the house was strangely missing. An idea struck: He would drive one of his two coal trucks up to the house and climb atop it to reach the windows. But even though they’d functioned perfectly the day before, neither would start now. He ransacked his mind for another option. He tried to scoop water from a rain barrel but found it frozen solid. Five of his children were stuck somewhere inside those great, whipping ropes of smoke. He didn’t notice that his arm was slick with blood, that his voice hurt from screaming their names.
His daughter Marion sprinted to a neighbor’s home to call the Fayetteville Fire Department but couldn’t get any operator response. A neighbor who saw the blaze made a call from a nearby tavern, but again no operator responded.
|
Quote:
|
George and Jeannie assumed that five of their children were dead, but a brief search of the grounds on Christmas Day turned up no trace of remains. Chief Morris suggested that the blaze had been hot enough to completely cremate the bodies.
|
Quote:
Jennie couldn’t understand how five children could perish in a fire and leave no bones, no flesh, nothing. She conducted a private experiment, burning animal bones—chicken bones, beef joints, pork chop bones—to see if the fire consumed them. Each time she was left with a heap of charred bones. She knew that remnants of various household appliances had been found in the burned-out basement, still identifiable. An employee at a crematorium informed her that bones remain after bodies are burned for two hours at 2,000 degrees. Their house was destroyed in 45 minutes.

Found this on Reddit:
Quote:

The Chicago Tylenol murders were a series of poisoning deaths resulting from drug tampering in the Chicago metropolitan area in 1982. The victims had all taken Tylenol-branded acetaminophen capsules that had been laced with potassium cyanide.[1] James William Lewis was convicted of extortion for sending a letter taking credit for the deaths and demanding $1 million to stop them, and he was also the primary suspect in the killings despite living in New York City at the time. The incidents led to reforms in the packaging of over-the-counter substances and to federal anti-tampering laws.
