I’m convinced Johnny Gosch is still alive.
Recently, Reddit usertotsatot0asked, “What’s a mystery you could’t believe is still unsolved?”
and people had some truly chilling answers.
Here are some murders and disappearances where we still don’t know what happened.
“The disappearance of the five Sodder children.
Five of the family’s ten childrenvanishedin a house fire on Christmas Eve, 1945.
Their parents and siblings escaped, but no remains of the other five children were ever found.
The fire itself seemed suspicious, and the family believed the children were kidnapped.”
Obviously, we all know what happened the next morning.
BUT there’s also no solid evidence to prove she WASN’T at the WTC either.
It’s so wild.
The sand was analyzed from the scene, and it was sand from the US Southwest.
Not only that, only 130 shirts of the kind the killer was wearing were sold.
Somehow, still not solved."
Three of the victims had been brutally stabbed to death, while the fourth had been strangled.
Police believe the killer then remained in the house until dawn.
He ate theirice creamand drank their tea.
Police also found much of his clothing, his blood, and his fingerprints at the scene.
But the murder remains unsolved, with no apparent motive.
“The murder of Elizabeth Barraza.
It was caught on camera, and the getaway vehicle was clearly seen.
The murderer was speculated as being a woman or man in a wig.
The killer then drove their Nissan Frontier away, though they allegedlycame backlater to ensure she was dead.
No one has been caught, and noevidenceof a motive ever surfaced.

and was never heard from again."
More information: 19-year-old Brandonwascoming home from a night out with friends in Minnesota.
He took rural farm roads home instead of the highway and accidentally became stuck in a ditch.
Brandon then called his parents to come pick him up, but he didn’t have an exact location.
His parents stayed on the phone with him, trying to find him, but were unsuccessful.

The call then disconnected.

“The Missy Bevers murder should have been solved a long time ago.
There’s tons of video footage of the killer and their car, if I remember correctly.”

He was in a bar and afterward disappeared.
Surveillance photos never show him exiting, but a search never found him.”
He was never seen again.
“Johnny Gosch, a paper boy who went missing during his route in west Des Moines, Iowa.

It’s so eerie.

The whole case is truly wild, and I highly recommendthis article.

Carlene’s mom got a phone call from her youngest daughter, who was at a day camp.
She called because Carlene hadn’t picked her up.
Mr. Tengelsen found the car later that night.
It was parked across the street from the mall at a donut shop.
Carlene never called."
She was never found, and there were never any apparent leads.
It seems like something so unique should be traceable."
More information: The body of a teenage girl wasfoundin Texas in October 2016.
She had likely died about a month prior.
It was almost always one foot in a shoe, 35 years apart.
It was super odd."
All but one victim have beenidentified.

Nothing else about the victim has been discovered.

17.And finally….“There is a ‘mystery’ that nobody thinks is a mystery.
But personally, I’m suspicious.
There are a lot of missing Native American teenage boys in the area around Yakima, Washington.
Some of them were high-risk, but not all of them …
Some were as young as 12 or as old as 23.
The police don’t properly investigate.
They just write them off as at-risk teens who ran away.
I think one day we are going to uncover what’s happening to these boys.”
