More Unsolved Mysteries of History
September 29th, 2005The world has many unsolved mysteries of history. Will they ever be solved, or will they always be mysteries?
· What happened to D.B. Cooper, the man who skyjacked a Boeing 747 in 1974, and demanded $ 200,000 cash and four parachutes? After the bounty was granted, Cooper walked down the back stairs of the plane and parachuted out at a height of 10,000 feet and winds of 80 mph carried him away. Was he the man who died in Florida and told his wife that he was indeed D.B. Cooper? Will we ever know what happened to him or the money that he took with him on his historical jump?
· How many American POWs and MIAs were deserted by the American government when it pulled all US troops out of Vietnam? Are any of these men alive today or is the fact that they were left behind a figment of overactive imaginations?
· The mystery behind the 1919 World Series has not been solved to date. Was the Series thrown by Shoeless Joe Jackson?
· Who was the male or female who inspired the love poems that was written by poet, Emily Dickinson?
· Did Thomas Jefferson, Freud, Albert Einstein and Mozart suffer from what is known today as Asperger’s syndrome? Why were these geniuses so eccentric, which is a common trait of individuals who suffer from Asperger’s, which is on the high functioning end of the autism spectrum and is most prevalent in boys?

History mystery: Who Killed Michael Malloy?
“On the House: The Bizarre Killing of Michael Malloy” hit the book stores Oct. 4. It’s the true story of a Depression-era drunkard who thwarted numerous attempts on his life. All except the last one, of course. The author’s web site is www.simon-read.com. Cheers.

Night Editor, I followed the link and read about “On the House.” It looks fantastic. Think I’ll see if I can find a copy.
I would like to know how many POW/MIAs our government really did leave behind in Vietnam. Are they still alive? Probably not. That was almost 30 years ago, although many would only be in their 40s and 50s now.

I would love to find out the answer to this question. Though I was just born when Vietnam ended, my uncle (mother’s brother) never came home from there. He is, to this day, classed as MIA. Though my family feels that he probably is dead by now, we don’t know for sure. My mother has a hard time with it still. There was never any closure.
