Movie and TV crime dramas sometimes make it seem that strange cases are impossible to solve.
However, in reality, thanks to advanced forensic techniques and meticulous detective work, we can get answers to even the most perplexing ones.
The autopsy says otherwise. He's got a laceration in his s*****m and it's bruised and swollen as if he'd been given a hard kick. There's bruising in his groin that rises up through his hips and abdomen. Inside, his organs are bruised and lacerated. It looks like he was brutally beaten. However, his hotel room was normal, except, ya know, for his corpse. Nothing out of order, no blood, no signs of anything foul.
It amounts to a series of unfortunate events. It was determined they made a last minute choice to sight see there, misunderstood a map, and instead of turning around, assumed there would be ranger stations and pressed on. The unkempt path cause the van to break down. Looking at their map, they saw a US military installation. Being from Europe, to them, that meant it would be manned with patrols. It wasn't.
This one stuck with me since I saw one of those Identification Discovery shows detailing the story. It's not as much of a mystery as some cases, since it didn't make national or international news while being solved. But I'm damn sure it was a clusterfuck of a mystery for people that knew this couple and police investigating it.
Apparently Zach Bowen had spent time in the military and had a wife he was separated from. Zach and Addie bartended together and drank a lot. Some people said Addie was a nasty drunk that could be abusive. Also there were rumors that they were doing a lot of cocaine. The substance abuse issues and the possibility that Zach may have had undiagnosed mental issues after his military experience are the theories for possible motive of the crime.
The story for that one is that the couple was at a gentleman's club and offered Jaren Lockhart money to come back to their place for a private party. They stabbed her, dismembered her, and she washed up on the Mississippi Gulf Coast.It's 1947, and aircraft manufacturers are in a race to profit from the post-war air travel market. Avro of England comes up with the Lancastrian, a passenger version of the famed Lancaster with the same four Rolls Royce Merlin engines.
By now, a phenomenon that was virtually unknown in 1947 is understood and well-plotted on a daily basis: the jet stream. Aided by a study of the wreckage, it becomes apparent that the plane flew head-on into a known jet stream at the high altitude needed to cross the Andes. Its airspeed - as opposed to groundspeed - had remained nominal, while it was in fact falling far below what was expected, and the plane was well short of it destination when the crew confidently began its descent.
Turns out it was carbon monoxide poisoning escaping from the dry river bed which had dissipated by the time police arrived the next day. Dr's could not figure wtf was wrong with him, or how to even label it- I believe he was 12 at the time. He served no jail time & his records were sealed. Crawford said that when he read about Devore's disappearance, it struck him as remarkably similar to the story of an Orange County woman who vanished on a trip to Montana some years ago and was later found to have crashed into the California Aqueduct.
