George Bass planned to be a wealthy private trader by transporting cargo with his new business.

We may never know.

In 2007, a feral young woman was found stealing food from a village before scurrying back into the jungle where it is presumed she lived. Local villagers caught her, wanting to understand what was going on. Shortly after, a man claiming to be her father said that she was his long-lost daughter and took her home to his family. Everyone thought that was the conclusion to the story—until another family showed up to claim her. Who is she really?

Tara Calico was nineteen years old when she left for her daily bike ride and never returned. A search would ensue, but police only found proof of where she was, not where she went. When disturbing photos started popping up, police began to speculate that she might have been abducted or trafficked. Was she taken by the stalker her mother was so worried about? We may never know.

When a family of four traveled from Germany to the United States, they expected to make lasting memories. Unfortunately, they entered Death Valley National Park, and life had other plans. Within days, they disappeared. Within weeks, the search was given up. Within years, they were found. Kind of.

When a group of 21 sailors set out to transport wheat in1902, they thought it was just another job. Within nine days, the search would be abandoned—and the crew would still be missing. Now, their tale lives on as the ghostly tale of The Flying Dutchman of the Inland Seas. What happened to them?

One of my clients reached out to inform me that her brother, Bruce, went missing on May 17, 2022. His family believes that he is without access to his medication for bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and asthma. This is an obvious concern for them and why it is so important to find Bruce as soon as possible. Bruce went missing in Waxahachie, Texas, but it is believed that he drove through New Mexico and possibly into California. His vehicle, a charcoal gray Chevrolet Silverado, was found abandoned in San Bernardino with the keys still inside. It was still running when police found it. Local authorities have conducted a drone search of the area to see if he left on foot, but there are no signs of him at this time. He was last seen on Monday, May 16, 2022 wearing a red t-shirt, green gym shorts, and Corona slides. His family stresses that mental illness is real and that people who are coping with mental illness should be handled with the utmost care. Bruce needs compassion, understanding, and support. There is essentially zero media coverage for Bruce right now, so let’s do what we do and get this trending on social media to increase the likelihood that someone will spot him so he can be safely reunited with his family. If you have any information regarding his whereabouts, please contact Waxahachie Police immediately at 469-309-4410. ***Social Media Post*** https://www.instagram.com/p/CeEgc70l5JL/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=

Samuel Mason was the leader of a fearsome group of river pirates stalking the Ohio River. They would steal from anyone who came by, sometimes killing their victims in the process. When a group of locals decided enough was enough, Mason and his men were run out of their hunting ground—but that wasn’t the end of the story.

Throughout history, magic has been regarded with both fear and envy. More than a few men and women have found themselves in trouble for accusations of witchcraft, even if they didn’t do it. There’s more to hunting witches than the Salem Witch Trials, so let’s discuss a few cases with those who chose to dance with the devil in the woods.

When a family discovered a torso in a cave in Idaho, police were curious. When a little girl found a hand twelve years later, they were interested. A team of anthropologists would go on to find the remnants of this dismembered man, and after sifting through nearly 32,000 DNA matches, they found his identity. Turns out that this victim was a really bad guy. His name was Joseph Henry Loveless—at least, that was one of his names.
