Aletha was 6 months pregnant when she disappeared, police think she was murdered.

Aletha Jo Williams
She was 25 years old and six months pregnant when she was last seen on the corner of 1700 South and West Temple Street in Salt Lake City, Utah.
She dropped her belongings off at the residence of a family member and indicated that she would return later, but has never been seen or heard from again.
She left behind a young son. 
She was involved with drugs at the time of her disappearance and has a criminal history.

In 2014, a witness came forward with new information.
After new evidence was collected authorities reopened Williams's case as a murder investigation.
They conducted searches of several locations, including the Jordan River and another body of water, but her body was never found.

In March 2014, Ricky Lee Vincent was charged with felony obstruction of justice in connection with her case. 
Authorities stated they didn't believe he was actually involved in Williams's disappearance, but he was a known acquaintance of their suspect.
The suspect has not been publicly identified in the press.
 In a television interview, Vincent said the man is his brother, but police would not confirm this. 
No further arrests have been made.
She has a tattoo of the name “Shawn” on her wrist, pierced ears, pierced tongue.
At the time of her disappearance she was 5'2" tall, 140 lbs, with black hair and brown eyes.

Ted Bundy Confessed To Killing Her, But Her Body Has Never Been Found.

Debra Jean Kent
She was born on March 12th, 1957 to Belva and Harvey Dean Kent in Bountiful, Utah.
She was kind and caring and had thought about becoming a social worker after being graduated from Viewmont High.
She was a member of the high school drama club.
On November  8, 1974,  17 year old Debi took her parents to a production of "The Redhead" at her high school.
Debi had already seen the musical but wanted her family to enjoy it, too. 
It would be her father's first outing since suffering a massive heart attack.
Her brother was at the roller rink and she was suppose to pick him up after the play.
When the play ran late, Debi was worried about her brother and left early to pick him up because the Rustic Roller Rink closed at 10:00 p.m and it was already 10:30 p.m.
Her parents would wait for her to drive back for them.
Debra was last seen in the school's parking lot shortly after she exited the building.
An hour passed and Debi wasn't back yet.
It was about midnight and the janitor locked up the school auditorium, so the Kents decided to walk to a nearby friend's house for a ride home.
The parents walked down the side walk and they went into the parking lot. 
They were surprised when their car was still there.
The doors were still locked, and Debi's purse was still inside where she had left it.
Debi never made it to pick up her brother either.
At the Bountiful police station that night, the Kents were told that Debi was probably just another runaway and that no search could begin for 24 hours, when Debi would officially be listed as a missing person.
Her parents were insistent that she wasn't a runaway.
That she would never have let her father wait outside in the cold when he was still so weak.
Neighbors and friends from the family's Mormon church organized their own search that night.
They searched the school grounds and the hills near Bountiful.
The next morning, the police found no evidence of a struggle and no trace of Debi.
They did find a tiny handcuff key outside the auditorium.
Later, witnesses told authorities that they heard one or two screams originating from the parking lot around 10:30 p.m. that evening. Another witness stated that he arrived at the school at 10:30 p.m. and saw a light-colored Volkswagen Bug speeding away from the lot.
Earlier on the night of the disappearance, 18-year-old, Carol DaRonch, 17 miles from Bountiful, stumbled into the Murry Police Station.
Handcuffs dangling from her wrist, she gave a horrifying story about being kidnapped and nearly killed by a handsome man who had lured her into his Volkswagen.
Bountiful police discovered that the key found at Viewmont High fit the type of cuffs used on Carol.
Ted Bundy was arrested after a routine traffic stop in Utah.
He was driving a Volkswagen.
Carol DaRonch identified him as the man that assaulted her and attempted to abduct and kill her.
Bundy was convicted, police had only circumstantial evidence but felt certain that Bundy had kidnapped Debi Kent also.
The drama teacher and some of students remembered seeing him in the auditorium that night.
In 1989, Just hours away from execution by electric chair, in Florida, serial killer Ted Bundy confessed that he had kidnapped Debi from the parking lot the night she had disappeared and killed her.
On a highway map, Bundy showed investigators the mountains where he said he had buried Debi and another Utah victim, Nancy Wilcox.
Their bodies were never found.
Three years before Bundy's execution, one of Debi's brothers, Bill Kent was killed by a drunk driver.
It wasn't until they had to bury their eldest son that the Kents decided to buy a grave for their eldest daughter.
A year later, they put up a headstone inscribed with ballet slippers and memories of Debi as a loving daughter, a caring sister, "a friend to everyone."
At the time she went missing, Debra was 5'1" tall, 110 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes.
She was dark blue waist-length coat with navy blue trim, a medium blue long-sleeved sweater with a white flower in the middle, long white pants, two-toned brown and black lace-up shoes, possibly white underwear, a small gold chain necklace and a Viewmont High School class ring. 
She had a mole on the front of her neck just under her chin, a fine surgical scar across her neck, a smallpox vaccination scar on her left arm, and pierced ears. 
Her rib-cage was very small, she is right-handed, and half of the nail on her right big toe is missing. 
Her dress size is 3 or 5, pants size is 5 or 7, shoe size is 6 and her bra size is 36 C.
She would be 61 years old today.

Some Things You May Not Know About Planet Earth: Part 2: Lakes Can Explode!

The world's largest earthquake was in Chile.
Originating approximately 100 miles off the coast of southern  of Chile on May 22, 1960, the earthquake hit at 3:11 PM and lasted about 10 minutes.
It was the largest earthquake recorded in the 20th century.
The earthquake caused substantial damage and loss of life both in that country and, as a result of the tsunamis that it generate, in distant Pacific coastal areas.
1,000–7,000 people lost their lives.

Lakes can explode.
In Cameroon and on the border of Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo there are Nyos, Monoun and Kivu.
All three are crater lakes that sit above volcanic earth. 
Magma below the surface releases carbon dioxide into the lakes, resulting in a deep, carbon dioxide-rich layer right above the lakebed. 
That carbon dioxide can be released in an explosion, asphyxiating any passersby.

The Earth is losing it's freshwater.
As the climate changes, glaciers are retreating and contributing to rising sea levels.
The Canadian Arctic glacier range lost a volume equivalent to 75 percent of Lake Erie between 2004 and 2009.

Earth use to be purple.
A NASA-supported study indicates that there is a possibility that life on early Earth may have been just as purple as it is green today, thanks to a purple-tinged molecule known as ‘retinal’.
Ancient microbes might have used a molecule other than chlorophyll to harness the sun's rays, one that gave the organisms a violet hue.

The Earth is electric.
Earth has a natural direct current electric field or potential gradient from the ground upwards to the ionosphere.
Speaking of electricity..
A single stroke of lightning can heat the air to around 54,000 degrees Fahrenheit, causing the air to expand rapidly. 
That ballooning air creates a shock wave and ultimately a boom,  known as thunder.

Humans have only explored about 5 percent of the world's oceans, meaning 95 percent of the planet's seas have never been seen.

There is treasure in the seas.
These vast seas are rich, holding more than 20 million tons of gold. Each liter of seawater contains, on average, about 13 billionths of a gram of gold. 
Undissolved gold is also tucked away in rocks on the seafloor.

Cosmic dust..
On a daily basis, about 100 tons of interplanetary material drifts down to the Earth's surface. 
Particles are released by comets as their ices vaporize near the sun. 

Some Things You May Not Know About Planet Earth: Part 1: We Have Two Moons?

Did you know that the Earth is not a perfect sphere?
It's kinda squished and bumpy.
The Earth bulges slightly at the equator and pushes in slightly at the poles.

Uneven mass means slightly uneven gravity.
Because our globe isn't a perfect sphere, its mass is distributed unevenly. 

You would weigh less at the equator than you would at the North or South Pole.

You could be spinning through space at just over 1,000 miles per hour. 
People on the equator move the fastest, while someone standing on the North or South pole would be perfectly still. 

The Earth moves around the sun at 67,000 miles per hour.

Earth is about 4.54 billion years old.
Researchers calculate the age of the Earth by dating both the oldest rocks on the planet and meteorites that have been discovered on Earth.
What may be the oldest known rocks on Earth are called the Nuvvuagittuq Belt on the coast of the Hudson Bay in Northern Quebec.
They are estimated to date back to 4.28 billion years ago.
The hottest spot on Earth is in Libya.
El Azizia, Libya is where temperature records from weather stations reveal it hit 136 degrees Fahrenheit on Sept. 13, 1922, according to NASA Earth Observatory. 
The magnetic pole is moving.
Earth has a magnetic field because of the ocean of hot, liquid metal that sloshes around its solid iron core.
This flow of liquid creates electric currents, which, in turn, generate the magnetic field. 
Since the early 19th century, the magnetic north pole has been creeping northward by more than 600 miles.
The rate of movement has increased, with the pole migrating northward at about 40 miles per year, compared with the 10 miles per year estimated in the 20th century.
The magnetic field also varies in strength, and it was found to be weakening.

Earth doesn't have a tallest mountain, it has  two.
The summit of Mount Everest is higher above sea level than the summit of any other mountain, extending some 29,029 feet high.
When measured from its true base to summit, Mauna Kea measures a length of about 56,000 feet.

The Earth use to have two moons.
A second moon, spanning about 750 miles wide, may have orbited Earth before it catastrophically slammed into the other one. 
This titanic clash may explain why the two sides of the surviving lunar satellite are so different from each other.
Some scientists claim Earth still has two moons.
According to researchers reporting in the Dec. 20, 2011, issue of the planetary science journal ICARUS, a space rock at least 3.3-meter wide orbits Earth at any given time. They're an ever-changing cast of "temporary moons." 
Our planet's gravity captures asteroids as they pass near us on their way around the sun and when one of these space rocks gets drawn in, it typically makes three irregularly shaped swings around Earth, staying with us for about nine months before hurtling on its way.

A U.S. Military Veteran Murdered

Michael Guy Johnston
He was 32 years old at the time he went missing from Brigham City, Utah on July 22, 1981.
He met a lady named Debbie Griffiths, on July 21st, at night at a bar.
Rudy Matthew Rebeterano was also at the bar and was jealous because she was paying attention to Michael. 
He and Griffiths had divorced in 1979 but remained friendly with each other. 
Rebeterano had a history of being violently jealous of any man who approached Griffiths.
Several months before, had tried to run over a man who was helping Griffiths move some furniture.
At 5:30 a.m. on July 22, Michael and Griffiths went to her apartment and she asked him to escort her inside because she was afraid Reberterano might be there. 
Reberterano was there and he shouted at Michael.
Griffiths quickly left the apartment, leaving the two men behind.
As she  was leaving she heard scuffling noises and a loud groan.
She ran outside and under a bridge across the street. 
She then watched Reberterano leave her apartment carrying a large white bundle, which he placed in the trunk of Michael's 1972 Ford Torino.
