The most popular reviews in /r/UnsolvedMysteries:
I highly highly recommend his book The Foundling . It’s absolutely amazing and provides so much more insane information on this case.
In Delphi it was over 40 degrees at 1pm on Monday. https://www.wunderground.com/history/airport/KGGP/2017/2/13/DailyHistory.html?req_city=Delphi&req_state=IN&req_statename=&reqdb.zip=46923&reqdb.magic=1&reqdb.wmo=99999
Which might not seem all that warm, but for Indiana in February it is.
The bridge is a landmark, sure, but Delphi's population is under 3,000.
Where did you get your data about the weather?
The weather archive shows it as a nice day, especially for people from England.

This article says today 25% don't wear....but I think that is way higher than the 70s would have been

Anyway they should run the DNA through familial database if they haven't already....that would answer alot of questions I'm sure.
Have you tried this website http://www.sermo.com/ it comes with a steep price I believe but it creates an incentive for random doctors to give it a go and try to figure it out. I heard about this on a podcast and seemed to work for some young lady that really had what seemed to be an odd unsolvable med problem. This might sound crazy but also if u don't live to far from the border I would consider looking up some doctors in Mexico and flying over. Western medicine has become a crazy battle ground and the true victims seem to be the citizens. I'm sure u can see that by now but not the less they seem to deal w less red tape and more answers. Hell marry pass if anything. Good luck
You can check - according to https://www.wunderground.com/history/monthly/us/md/baltimore/KBWI/date/2006-5 looks like maybe an inch of rain over the 8 days Rey was missing. Likely not enough to wash all traces from the hole, as the roof will have drains. You can see other nearby roofs without drainage with standing water.
>Did Sarah know Jen was going to kill them all? I think no
We found out today that apparently Sarah was just as involved as Jen. She searched for suicide methods and benadryl dosages on her phone during the road trip. And the kids all had large amounts of benadryl in their system. She even searched whether "death by drowning was painful". This was a joint decision. They're both monsters.
They did search the house and they did suspect Rob's involvement. The issue is he has an air tight alibi. Unless new evidence becomes available it is unlike he will ever be charged. The interview might be enough to raise new questions. There may have been some contradictions from his previous statements. The prevailing thought in the community and the family is that Rob had her killed.
The hair salon is off of Hwy 369 which is a busy road (even in 2004). The church is off of Kelly Bridge Road in Dawson County. The route to get to the two places is very twisting and in general, only someone with local knowledge of the area would be able to navigate it without help. The most direct route to the church would require a left hand turn onto Hwy 369 going west bound from the parking lot of the salon. Then a right turn onto Whitmire Road. https://www.mapquest.com/us/georgia/lebanon-baptist-church-380070608
I'm no math expert, but:
The average sprinting speed for a man is 15mph or 22 ft/second.
The ideal trajectory for a long jump is 43 degrees.
The height of the Belvedere is 188ft and the height of the roof Rivera fell through looks to be two stories tall, so subtract 20ft and you've got a 168ft vertical fall.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but Rivera's body was found 45 feet away from the edge of the roof. He was 6'5", in good shape, and let's say he took a perfect, dedicated running leap like Neo in the Matrix.
This website calculates an object with the above qualities could get 60.04ft of distance. So it doesn't appear to me that it's absolutely impossible, just implausible. And there are plenty of implausible details to this story that we know happened.
> How it was possible for him to be able to get that far out?
Physics explains that.
Google says the Belvedere was 118ft
Using this free fall calculator (https://www.omnicalculator.com/physics/free-fall) we can find that it takes about ~2.7 sec to fall 118ft.
10mph converts to ~15 ft/s
So if he ran 10mph off the top of the hotel he would land (15 ft/s * 2.7 s =) ~40.5ft away from the Belvedere. He would only need to be going a bit fast than that.
I thought as much as well. Assuming there is proof that his body actually penetrated that roofline (which should be demonstrated / disproven) and he actually fell to his death at that location, the question then becomes what was the starting point for his fall? Has anyone in the investigating unit done the math on the downward trajectory from the rooftop, the parking garage or the ledge? From that one should be able to demonstrate if he could have fallen from those heights to the point of impact with a plausible starting horizontal velocity (that is, how fast he reasonably could have run).

(long time lurker, first time poster--hey all!) Shoe seems like it may be a Nike Vista Lite (https://www.amazon.com/Nike-Vista-Lite-Womens-Shoes/dp/B08XBRH1XJ) produced since January 2020 (via Google), so she may not have been there for that long. Here's hoping she can be identified soon
There a book the day after Roswell by colonel Phillip Corso on the subject of the government leaking alien technology to companies after the Roswell crash. He was also a guest on the art bell radio show https://www.amazon.com/Day-After-Roswell-Philip-Corso/dp/067101756X
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00CUSQOA0/ref=dp-kindle-redirect?_encoding=UTF8&btkr=1 was a pretty good read about this. I'm inclined to believe this theory, that there was some sort natural phenomenon on the mountain that caused them to panic and experience confusion. Possibly a Karman Vortex https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/K%C3%A1rm%C3%A1n_vortex_street
People process trauma differently. In situations where two people experience the same traumatic event, one person may remember every vivid detail while the other may have a hard time recalling it and may block it out altogether. Source
There’s also the “It was a Jaguar!” theorists, which is wrong for so many reasons. Of all the big cats, experts agree that jaguar are the least likely to prey on humans. It’s extremely rare - even more so than cheetah. A desperate cheetah may snatch a wandering child outside a remote village on a very rare occasion, but an adult human is extremely unlikely.
Jaguar are short and stout, powerfully built, and have the most powerful bite strength of all the big cats. However, humans are not their prey. Much of that myth comes from the Mayan and Aztec reverence for them, and their ability to hunt silently in the jungle. It also comes from Hollywood, and the fact that they will prey on livestock (often after they’ve been wounded by people taking potshots at them).
Wounded animals will take desperate measures to survive, and it’s usually humans that created the problem. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in the subject.
This is on Amazon Prime to rent or buy. It's a doc... Murder in the Moonlight is the true story that inspired the cult classic The Town that Dreaded Sundown. In this Documentary you will hear from investigators, researchers, and witnesses to the crimes that had Texarkana locking their doors and nailing their windows shut in 1946. Sit back and enjoy the true story that inspired urban legends and to this day remains unsolved! https://www.amazon.com/Murder-Moonlight-Jeff-Waldridge/dp/B07M5HLWW7
I am only speculating/theorising as well, although this version, as sad as it seems, is the only one that makes sense to me. Here's a link to the weather history in Baltimore during the week Rey was missing. I'm not sure what the weather is normally like in Baltimore in mid-May; but maybe the heat was also on in the room where Rey's body was found. It also looks like it rained a little during the week. The chart also shows the wind and direction of the wind. Which may have boosted Rey's jump if he caught a gust at the right (or very wrong) time.

I read the Dirty John series in print. Honestly, I didn’t care for it. I guess it was the style of writing that put me off. I’m aware that it’s been made into a TV series of some sort.
Dr. Death sounds frightening as hell.
Bad Blood, by John Carreyrou, is another audiobook about a crime case - the Theranos scam as perpetrated by Elizabeth Holmes and her boyfriend - that is a little outside the murder stories, but is both quite a thriller and terrific journalism, to boot. https://www.audible.com/pd/Bad-Blood-Audiobook/B07C8GVTB5
So this may just be a coincidence but the Wikiquote on Juvenal has his satires listed, but 7 is missing. (m7?) Upon searching, his 7th satire is titled Learning and Letters Unprofitable and the first line is "On Caesar alone hang all the hopes and prospects of the learned; he alone in these days of ours has cast a favouring glance upon the sorrowing Muses"
So another Caeser reference.....could all be coincidence, but still a little weird and worth noting.

Dude, no. You know, it’s OK to just say “yeah, now that I have additional information, I can see I was mistaken.”
See Ancestry’s Law Enforcement Request site
The setting you’re talking about is restricting other Ancestry account users from finding a person through matches. So if you and I are both on Ancestry and we match as being related, there’s a setting you could set so that I would never know we matched. It has nothing to do with law enforcement’s ability to cross reference all DNA profiles or making a person’s DNA totally open to the public.
Millions of Americans have used genealogy websites.
Millions more Americans are related to people who have used those services.
You are satisfied with any and every one of America's 330 million citizens having their DNA searched.
Ancestry has received DNA from more than 100 million people creating 13 billion DNA profiles. There are many more websites like it.
You've gone from ad hominem, to backpedaling, to pathetic semantic arguments.
Yes. The majority of Americans have donated their DNA to websites or had someone in their family do so.
You have asserted Trump is a "deranged dictator" in your comment history and now are asserting that the DOJ that serves under him should have access to the vast majority of Americans DNA profiles even if they have never committed a crime.
There are a lot of stupid people on Reddit. You're not special.
If you subscribe, IMMEDIATELY cancel Auto-Renew
​
The company claims "they try to be clear" about the auto-renewing subscription. If they really wanted to solve the problem, they could easily send a upcoming renewal reminder (they don't) or just do away with the auto-renewal (which they apparently don't want to do, as it is making them money).
If you try this product, immediately go to your customer settings and cancel the auto-renew. You can always put it back on.
I just got hit for $174 charge after giving this as a gift 6 months ago. Are they legally right? Yeah, probably. Are they morally right? Not even close.
The thing that looks like a coffee grinder machine, I gather it’s the Dyno space heater with the metal ‘cage’ removed and a mixing bowl (like this https://www.amazon.ca/ExcelSteel-720-Stainless-Copper-Finish/dp/B0119S7FH2/ref=asc_df_B0119S7FH2/?tag=googleshopc0c-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=335305589500&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=306232808494576528&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9000122&hvtargid=pla-794268757592&th=1) on top??
One strange post on Ancestry forums. A guy named Dave Pierce claimed in 2010 that he was "close to locating" Norma Briggs-Houghland in California." Briggs was the maiden name. It was in response to a 2008 query from the half-sister of the two missing children, trying to find them. She said her father (Norma's ex-husband) had passed away a couple of years earlier.
The half-sister did not mention Norma's absence at all:

Gravitational acceleration is constant, 32 feet per second per second (disregarding wind resistance).
The building is 188 feet tall, so a freefall from the roof starting with no vertical velocity would take about 3.4 seconds to get to the bottom. I used this calculator which makes it easy.
So then object would need to cover 45 horizontal feet in 3.4 seconds; 13.24 feet per second. That's 9 mph, or a 6:40 mile.
I don't know how high the ledge is, but the same calculations can be used there if we know the height. The other person estimated 70 feet, but if the roof is 188, the ledge seems like it was higher than that. Maybe like 40 ft down from the roof, 148 feet up?
So then 3 second fall, 20 feet out would be 6.66 ft/s or 4.5 mph, or 13:20 mile pace. A brisk walk.
It’s disgusting how they just erased this woman’s entire existence, moved to Costa Rica and all living their best lives around unsuspecting people. His profile here https://about.me/jon.worrell makes him out to be a genuine family man. Horrific that they got away with it with no repercussions
Excuse me, you actually said:
>There is no such things as NY Times style. The NY Times uses AP style
1) Is it OK when you say NY Times but not when other people do?
2) The New York Times issues their own style manual, which they publish for others to use. They do not use AP style. New York Times style is to use titles before last names after first mention, which you can see if you actually read the paper.
A locator beacon. You register it with the government and it can be used anywhere.
This is the one I have.
Her parents always had blinders on when it came to her. Not knowing caylee’s father, denying she was pregnant when it was obvious. Having no fucking clue she didn’t have a job, the list goes on. I think her mother finally had enough, and called the police and I think she still regrets she did that. That woman lied on the stand for her and wouldn’t accept for the longest time that she was lying about the kidnapping, all of it. The book by the prosecutor is really good, https://www.amazon.com/Imperfect-Justice-Jeff-Ashton-audiobook/dp/B0067VJD18/ref=sr_1_2?crid=2YQ5OV1N6GOT1&dchild=1&keywords=casey+anthony+book&qid=1602429064&sprefix=Casey+ant%2Caps%2C142&sr=8-2. They knew immediately she was lying and caylee was dead, and were just going along for the ride.
Again, I read a book that was apparently written by an expert who consulted a lot with law enforcement, that suggested experts actually don't agree that using graphic language is a sign of guilt. Who knows, as I am not claiming to be an expert, but you can check it out here: https://www.amazon.com/Liespotting-Proven-Techniques-Detect-Deception/dp/0312611730
There is a whole chapter on the use of language in investigations which is really interesting if you are into that kind of stuff.
People have tried to capitalize on other areas - there was a book about a "Great Lakes" triangle, too - but they never took off.
There's a great novel about a Lumbee community caught between Yankee and Rebel sides during the Civil War, Nowhere Else on Earth.
