This isn't at all as fantastical as those, but there was an Air Force cadet in Colorado Springs who was found dead in his dorm room three weeks ago. There is an ongoing investigation into his death, and they've reported "injuries," but they currently say the investigation is "not criminal." It's a little odd that they haven't released more information about what happened.

Fast forward 2 weeks, and his mom disappeared. She was found dead in a park this past Saturday.

I don't think so...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Villisca_axe_murders

The Moore family consisted of parents Josiah B. (aged 43), Sarah (née Montgomery) (39), and their four children: Herman Montgomery (11), Mary Katherine (10), Arthur Boyd (7), and Paul Vernon (5). An affluent family, the Moores were well-known and well-liked in their community.[1] On June 9, 1912, Katherine Moore invited Ina Mae (8) and Lena Gertrude Stillinger (12) to spend the night at the Moore residence. That evening, the visiting girls and the Moore family attended the Presbyterian church where they participated in the Children's Day Program, which Sarah Moore had coordinated. After the program ended at 9:30 p.m., the Moores and the Stillinger sisters walked to the Moores' house, arriving between 9:45 and 10 p.m.

At 7 a.m. the next day, Mary Peckham, the Moores' neighbor, became concerned after she noticed that the Moore family had not come out to do their morning chores. Peckham knocked on the Moores' door. When nobody answered, she tried to open the door and discovered that it was locked. Peckham let the Moores' chickens out and called Ross Moore, Josiah Moore's brother. Like Peckham, Moore received no response when he knocked on the door and shouted. He unlocked the front door with his copy of the house key. While Peckham stood on the porch, Moore went into the parlor and opened the guest bedroom door, where he found Ina and Lena Stillinger's bodies on the bed. Moore immediately told Peckham to call Hank Horton, Villisca's primary peace officer, who arrived shortly thereafter. Horton's search of the house revealed that the entire Moore family and the two Stillinger girls had been bludgeoned to death. The murder weapon, an axe belonging to Josiah, was found in the guest room where the Stillinger sisters were found.

Doctors concluded that the murders had taken place between midnight and 5 a.m.[2] The killer or killers began in the master bedroom, where Josiah and Sarah Moore were sleeping. Josiah received more blows from the axe than any other victim; his face had been cut so much that his eyes were missing. The killer(s) went into the children's rooms and bludgeoned Herman, Katherine, Boyd, and Paul in the head in the same manner as their parents. Afterward, the killer(s) moved downstairs to the guest bedroom and killed Ina and Lena.

Investigators believed that all of the victims except for Lena Stillinger had been asleep when murdered. They thought that she was awake and tried to fight back, as she was found lying crosswise on the bed, and with a defensive wound on her arm. Lena's nightgown was pushed up to her waist and she was wearing no undergarments, leading to law enforcement speculation that the killer(s) sexually molested her or attempted to do so.

The crime was never solved. The house is kind of like a tourist trap for ghost hunters now and apparently it's extremely haunted.

The two strangest for me are...

1) the black dude from St. Charles MO, who was only missing for three days yet when found in an open field was in an advanced state of decomposition. Not only that, in his pocket was a page full of cryptography that the top US codebreakers couldnt figure out.

2) all 5 children go missing from a family home that is set on fire, police say it was an electrical fire and the children died in the home, yet...

No human remains were found in the home.
The lights in the home were on while it burned.
Years later the parents receive a letter from, supposedly, one of the sons in Kentucky.
Parents hire a detective to go to KY and look into it, he disappears and is never heard from again.

Now that is some weird X Files shit if I've ever heard it.

And I don't get the significance of the lights being on in the Kentucky case. Would a short in one circuit knock them all out? I wouldn't have thought that would be the case. And I'm curious what was in the letter.

I know a ghost hunter that has spent several nights there. She posted a video a while back where they set a ball on the floor, and instead of it either staying still or rolling in one direction it would go in curves and circles. Weird as hell, I'd never set foot in that place.

You need to study up on this case before commenting.

First of all, animal predation doesn't happen with clean, scalpel-like lines... it also doesn't happen to very specific body parts either, its guts and viscera 99.9% of the time.

Also, if it was an avalanche, then why didn't the Russian government use that as a handy excuse? I'll tell you why, its because there was O proof of an avalanche.

The official excuse was an errant missile test... first of all, what are the actual odds of two errant missiles directly impacting two different groups of people huddled together two miles apart?

Second of all, if it was errant missiles... then why wasn't there a single solitary sign of impact craters and/or scorched earth and trees anywhere near the bodies?

Grew up a few miles from Villisca in Iowa. A lot of the kids in school would stay the night in the house for birthday parties and such. I would always politely decline those invitations. They would tell me about the seance things they would do with the host where balls and toy cars would move across the room unexplainably. I wasn't sure if it was just the host putting on a show or if it was actually haunted, but I didn't want to find out. Even the people I know who would go on tours during the day would say they would have feelings of panic and freezing cold, especially in the attic where the murderer supposedly hid.

I agree, but some things happened that are still very odd considering there was a manhunt for him for months and then evidence would show up at the camp site.

I remember when that case happened and it was all scary murder themes, but I think you're right. It didn't look like she was feeling threatened at all. It looked like a drug thing.

The only oddity is why the elevator wasn't closing. But if the elevator wasn't working I could imagine her wandering up to the roof and getting herself into trouble.

honestly....she acts like she totally drugged out. on what I don't know, but she's acting high as balls. check her out at about the 2:00 mark. (don't think there's much to see after 2:20)
she's wasted and decides going that going to the roof for a swim is a good idea and drowns. what am I missing?

I forget all of the details, but watched a show about this case not long after it happened and they went to great lengths to describe just how hard it would've been to get herself into that water tank on the roof.

Not really. It is pretty clear that Ms. Lam was on a psychotic break. She had a history of mental illness (bi-polar I believe) and was off of her medications which can amplify existing mental illness including hallucinations and feelings of paranoia.

It is unfortunate but not really mysterious.

The show was clear that it took some real doing to get into that tank, that's not to say she didn't do it herself though.

The more I look into her history of mental illness, the more likely it seems.

I just don't understand how a short Asian girl gets herself into a water tank that was 8 to 10 feet tall. There was no ladder. The hatch was reportedly very heavy as well.

See, those are the key details that I'd forgotten... kinda puts the mystery back into it.

Maybe she was told that there was some bomb ass dim sum and sticky white rice in the tank. People are known to display amazing acts of strength and athleticism in moments of extreme adrenaline rush.

Mental breakdown + lust for dim sum can do ka-razy things to people.

Considering she was in the middle of a psychotic break and her behavior showed symptoms of paranoia.

Its pretty easy to figure out. Extreme Paranoia + hallucinations = flight or fight response = adrenaline = girl was a lot stronger than a normal calm person.

I just think there is a better rational explanation to some mysteries than what is typically presented in these mystery sites.

If you rounded up the 100 greatest mysteries in the world, its very likely that 90 of them have a reasonable explanation... but its that 10% that leaves the whole world open to questioning and makes absolutely anything possible.

That's where I come from, had enough existentially strange experiences to understand that anything can/has happened.

adrenaline rush doesn't turn you into a ant where you can lift however many times your size. She was a skinny girl. Her mental problems only exemplify her inability to actually do anything.. She could barely stand in the elevator but now she can parkor up a watertank and lift a lid that would prob require more than one man to open?
