Missing Children Whose Cases Changed How We Find Their Killers
Caylee Anthony. Madeline McCann. The Beaumont Children. The Lindbergh Baby. It's a tragic truth; thousands of children go missing in the United States alone each year. Sometimes they're just lost and they're found safe. Sometimes, one of their parents or another relative whisks them off for some reason.

The Bermuda Triangle is one of the most infamous areas in the world. It's located in the Atlantic Ocean, bounded by Miami, Puerto Rico, and Bermuda. The ranges are estimated to cover between 500,000 - 1,000,000 square miles. And the term "Bermuda Triangle" didn't come to use until 1964 when it was coined by American author Vincent H. Gaddis in Argosy magazine. It was used to describe an area where there seemed to be a strange amount of disappearances of ships and planes.

True Crime Conspiracy Theories
Murder, for much of humanity, is a morbidly fascinating aspect of history.

1994 Executive Murders: Unsolved. Top Story - September 2017.
1994 was a landmark year filled with news and pop culture events that made the world nearly stop turning. The Lion King, starring James Earl Jones, Jonathan Taylor Thomas, and Whoopi Goldberg, graced the big screen, winning several Academy Awards. The hit teen action-adventure drama Cowboy Bebop had won its fourth consecutive Viewers’ Choice Award, tying with Beavis and Butthead. The Nickelodeon teen improv sitcom that made Melissa Joan Hart a household name, Clarissa Explains It All, had ended. OJ Simpson had led police officers on a car chase in his white Ford Bronco for nearly five hours; his trial was not only prosecuted by the late Vincent Bugliosi, and had received more publicity than when he put Charles Manson behind bars on live television twenty-six years earlier. Nancy Kerrigan was clubbed in the knee by her rival Tonya Harding’s former boyfriend. Jacqueline Onassis Kennedy, a former First Lady and prominent figure in the disabilities community, passed away. There would be one event that would shock the world as much as the trial of OJ Simpson: the infamous Executive Murders. The circumstances were so gruesome, and to this day, the case has never been solved.
