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.
Weird.
