The Dyatlov Pass Incident: Was It A Government Exercise Gone Wrong, Or Did One Of The Skiers Go Nuts?

๐ŸŽฟThe Dyatlov Pass Incident๐ŸŽฟ
The Mystery of the Dyatlov Pass Incident
๐ŸŽฟOn January 25th, 1959, a ski instructor, 3 engineers and 7 students from the former Soviet Union's Ural Polytechnical Institute, set out on a journey that would bring their lives to a disturbing and tragic end. The group was formed for a skiing expedition across the northern Urals in Sverdlovsk Oblast, Soviet Union. 
Igor Dyatlov
The leader of the trip was 23 year old radio engineering student Igor Dyatlov. All of the members of the group were highly experienced skiers and and upon their return, would have gotten the highest certification in the Soviet Union.
Dubinina, Krivonischenko, Thibeaux-Brignolles, and Slobodin
๐ŸŽฟThe group arrived by train at the town of Ivdel, then took a truck to Vizhai, where they purchased loaves of bread to add to their supplies. This would be the last inhabited settlement before their trek up the mountain.
๐ŸŽฟOn January 28th, one of the members, Yuri Yudin, who suffered from several health ailments turned back due to knee and joint pain that made him unable to continue the hike. The remaining 9 people marched on.

๐ŸŽฟThe group made it to the edge of a highland area on January 31st. This is were they began to prepare for climbing. They they then stored their extra supplies and in a wooded valley that were to be used for their trip back.

๐ŸŽฟOn February 1st,  they began to move through the pass that would come to be called the Dyatlov Pass. The group hoped to make camp that night on the opposite side of the pass. That day however,  snowstorms and decreasing visibility caused them to lose their direction and they deviated west, up towards the top of Kholat Syakhl.

When they realized their mistake, rather than trek down to the forested area, they camped on the slope of the mountain. Temperatures that night were -13 - -22 degrees F.

๐ŸŽฟThe group was suppose to send a telegram their sports club when they returned from their trip. A week after the telegram didn't arrive, Yudin alerted the authorities. 

๐ŸŽฟThe head of the Ural Polytechnical Institute assembled a rescue team comprised of students and teachers.
Tent cut from the inside
 On February 26, 1959, the rescue team came across a disturbing site when they discovered Dyatlov's group tent having been cut in half from the inside. Inside the tent were the group's belongings including their shoes. Outside the tent were nine sets of footprints made by people who were wearing only socks, a single shoe, or were barefoot. The team then followed some of the tracks and found the remains of a campfire 1,500 feet away along with two shoe-less bodies from Dyatlov's group. 

It was Krivonischenko and Doroshenko and they were dressed only in their underwear. Above the bodies, branches on the pine tree were broken, indicating that the men had tried to climb up in a frantic attempted and left behind traces of skin the the bark. Their hands were just pulpy fresh.Bodies of Dyatlov, Kolomogorova and Slobodin
Between the tree and the camp there were three more bodies, Dyatlov, Kolomogorova and Slobodin. They each lay several hundred meters apart from one another. Dyatlov was found on his back with one hand clinging onto a small tree branch while the other was in a defensive position by his head.


๐ŸŽฟOn May 4th, the rest of the bodies were finally found further into the woods from the pine tree, in a ravine. Three of the four bodies had been wearing more clothes than the others, and there were signs that as each died, their clothes were appropriated by those still alive. Dubinina’s foot was wrapped in a piece of Krivonischenko’s wool pants, while Zolotaryov was found wearing Dubinina’s coat and hat. 

๐ŸŽฟWhen the autopsies were preformed, the results showed that 6 out of the 9 people in Dyatlov's group had died of hypothermia while the other 3 died of some kind of weird trauma. 
Bodies of Kolevatov, Zolotaryov and Thibeaux-Brignoles
Thibeaux-Brignolles was found, face down with several fractures to his skull. Lyudmila Dubinina and Semyon Zolotaryov had major chest fractures, but none of the bodies showed signs of external injury. The force needed to cause the fractures as being comparable to that of a car crash. Semyon Zolotaryov was missing his eyes and so were Dubinina's. 
Body of Dubinina
Dubinina was the farthest away of all the bodies. She was the only one that showed external injuries. When she was found her head was tilted back and her mouth stretched as if she was trying to scream. Besides her missing her eyes, she was also missing her tongue, which was pulled out by the roots, and part of her lips, part of her face, and a fragment of skull bone. The skin on her hands were macerated.

๐ŸŽฟAll expedition members died between 6 and 8 hours after eating their last meal. Three separate articles of clothing found on two of the bodies were radioactive.

๐ŸŽฟAs for who did this or what happened to Dyatlov's group, there were no signs of anyone else being up there with the group. Only the hikers' footprints were visible in the snow, and none of the bodies showed signs of a struggle. The area showed no signs of an avalanche having taken place, and the bodies that were found within ten days of the event were covered with only a very shallow layer of snow. 

๐ŸŽฟThere were journals and rolls of film discovered at the scene.

๐ŸŽฟThe results of the investigation remained classified until the 1970's. The official conclusions that the hikers' deaths were as a result of "a compelling natural force."

๐ŸŽฟAnother group of hikers reported that they saw strange orange spheres in the sky to the north on the night of the incident. Similar spheres were observed in Ivdel and adjacent areas continually during the period from February to March 1959, by various independent witnesses These sightings were not noted in the initial investigation and these various independent witnesses only came forward years later.

๐ŸŽฟAt the hikers' funerals,  some friends and family members recalled that all the hikers' skin had a "deep brown tan" color or an orange color. The victims also appeared to have a little hair loss and what hair remained had turned dark grey.

๐ŸŽฟThe area where all of the hikers died was closed for 3 years after.

๐ŸŽฟThe lone survivor, Yuri, the one who became ill and had to turn back, was asked to identify some of the group's clothing found at the scene. He allegedly identified a torn piece of military clothing among the personal effects along with glasses and a pair of skis that didn't belong to the group. Yuri also claimed that he saw documents that showed an official investigation into the site started two-weeks before it's initial discovery. He a stated that there were boxes of the groups organs that had been sent out for examination as well.

๐ŸŽฟOn April 12th, 2018, the remains of Zolotarev were exhumed and contradictory results were obtained. One of the experts stated that the character of the injuries resembled a person knocked down by a car, and the DNA analysis did not reveal any similarity to the DNA of living relatives. In addition, it turned out that the name Semyon Zolotarev is not on the list of buried at the Ivanovskoye cemetery. Nevertheless, the reconstruction of the face from the exhumed skull agrees with the post-war photographs of Semyon.

๐ŸŽฟThe investigation was reopened in February of this year.

๐ŸŽฟWhat Had The Experience Hikers So Frightened That They Ran Away Without Their Shoes?

Who Killed Super Grandmother Greta Putnam And Where Is Her Great Grandson Dominic Potts?

Greta Jayne Putnam

You can shed tears that she is gone
or you can smile because she has lived.
You can close your eyes and pray that she’ll come back
or you can open your eyes and see all she’s left.
Your heart can be empty because you can’t see her
or you can be full of the love you shared.
You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday
or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday.
You can remember her and only that she’s gone
or you can cherish her memory and let it live on.
You can cry and close your mind, be empty and turn your back
or you can do what she’d want: smile, open your eyes, love and go on.

She Is Gone By David Harkins

She was born on February 4th, 1932. Greta was a beautiful, wonderful and selfless woman who loved to give. She always spoke her mind and was the life of the party. Greta loved golf, crafting, sewing, cooking and camping. She was always dressed with class. Greta was well-liked in her senior living community.
In her youth Greta was a super model. She was also a supermom that raised five children on her own after her husband died. She also had previously been a real estate agent and she even became her own broker.

On November 8th, 2018, vibrate Greta was 86 years old when she was found murdered at her home in Cottonwood Estates mobile home park in Oroville, California. The front door to her home had been left open and when a caregiver went inside, they found Greta with her throat slit in her bed. The killer covered her back up with a sheet after the murder. Her purse was untouched and there was no signs of forced entry. The community Greta lived in did have surveillance cameras, but none of them were working at the time. There were other businesses close by, but no idea if any footage was recovered from them.

The investigation into Greta's horrific end was hindered by the "Camp Fire", that started the same day. 

Besides her life coming to a tragic end, Greta also had many other heart wrenching events happen to her in her life. Greta’s father was murdered, her husband and son both died in a car accident, her daughter passed away from cancer and her granddaughter had rolled her vehicle and now remains in a wheelchair. Through it all, Greta endured with resilient strength, grace and radiated her kindness to everyone she'd meet.
The days before Greta's murder, her great grandson, Dominic Potts went missing. Rumor has it that he might have pissed off a biker gang. Dominic’s wallet and cell phone were found in his truck, and Dominic had previously told the family that people were after him.
A church down the street from Greta's home had homeless people congregating there frequently. 

A few months ago, a homeless man named, Brian Scott Madding, was arrested for Greta's murder. He is being held on a $1 million bond.

With no sign of forced entry and Greta being murdered in bed, the killer had to have been someone who knew her that she had let in the previous night. Or it could have been someone that had a key. There is also a possibility she accidentally left something open. The crime committed against Greta was so brutal, it seems like whoever it was was very angry with her. It also seems like they cared about her at some point due to the fact that she was covered with the sheet after.

Greta and Dominic's family are desperately seeking answers.

Did The Ancient Egyptians Have Wireless Technology?

The Great Pyramid Of Giza
It is the largest of all the Egyptian pyramids and one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Constructed about 3500 B.C.E, this makes it well more than five thousand years old. It is located 5 miles to the west of the Nile River near the city of Cairo, Egypt. The pyramid is made up of 2 million stone blocks that weigh from 3 to 50 tons. It is twice as long as a football field with the base covering 592,000 square feet, with each of the sides around 218,000 square feet. It is theorized that it took 20,000 workers over 20 years to build the pyramid.

Historians have changed their minds in what they believe the Pyramid of Giza's purpose is. It is now believed that the pyramid was to serve as a giant power plant of sorts. 

The pyramid doesn’t contain any of the things other Egyptian tombs would. There is no extravagant artifacts. ornate wall art, sealed entrances, elaborate coffins, and no mummies.

It also contains things that other pyramids don't. There are angled tunnels that lead not only into the pyramid, but deep underground, into areas as yet unexplored. 

Also, centuries ago, there were enormous swivel doors that weighed no less than 20 tons. And they were so well engineered they could be opened by the push of a hand. 

The outer layer of the pyramid once contained 144,000 polished casing stones or white polished limestone that were 8'ft thick and weigh at least 15 tons. This would have made the pyramid perfectly insulated and reflect the sun's rays. A large earthquake in 1303 shattered many casing stones, and the remainder were removed to use on other structures.

On the inner surfaces of the pyramid, dolomite was used. Dolomite  increases electrical conductivity using pressure. The more pressure the more electrical current. 

Granite lines the passageways which is slightly radioactive. Granite contains high amounts of quartz crystal with metal, and it’s a well-known electrical conductor.

The pyramid  is part of a larger complex called the Giza Necropolis that includes two other major pyramids, the Pyramid of Khafre and the Pyramid of Menkaure. It also includes the Great Sphinx and several cemeteries. 

Just northwest of the Pyramid of Giza, in one of the cemeteries, is 20 sarcophagi, or huge granite boxes, each weighing 100 tons. None of the boxes could possibly fit through the existing tunnels and entrances and were way too big for humans.

In 1993, a mysterious and previously inaccessible room was discovered after remaining hidden for thousands of years underneath the Pyramid of Giza. This room, dubbed the Queen's Chambers, seemed to be deliberately hidden. In 2011, the room was explored with a remote camera and discovered the chamber contained carefully crafted copper wire and what seemed like instructions. There was also wiring diagrams drawn on the floor.

The Nile once passed through the area where the Great Pyramid of Giza stands and scientists theorize this perhaps is the power source. That maybe through capillary action, defied the laws of gravity and flowed upwards to the top of the pyramid. The movement of the water could have caused vibrations strong enough for the quartz to cause electromagnetic electricity and send it up to the top of the pyramid. At the top of the pyramid, there use to be a gold cap stone. This would end up sending millions of volts of electricity into the atmosphere, just like a Tesla Tower.
Egyptians created 28 obelisks which could have been used like lightening rods. They were made of granite and were huge and weighed 110 to 323 tons. There are 8 that remain standing in Egypt today. There are however, Egyptian obelisks still standing in Istanbul, Rome, London, Paris, and New York. This leads researches to believe that rather than them being stolen, that the Egyptians were setting up a global power distribution network that was never completed or was destroyed.
In some ancient Egyptian carvings is what looks like images of light bulbs and wireless antennas.

What is known for sure is there is a heightened electromagnetic measurement around the pyramid, that’s equivalent to that made in an electrical storm.

Joann LeCornu's Twin Sister Fights For Justice In Her Sister's Murder.

Joann Elizabeth “Jody” LeCornu
She was born on October 28th,1972 in Washington, District of Columbia. Jody was pretty, vivacious, outgoing and bubbly. She was born two minutes older than her identical twin sister Jenny. Jenny always looked up to Jody. They were inseparable.

As a teenager, Jody had a substance abuse problem and spent time in detox.

Jennifer moved out to California, but kept in close contact with Jody.

In 1996, Jody had also developed severe anxiety and was afraid of almost everything. She was a 23 year old college student with big dreams. She was studying geriatrics at Towson University. She also worked as a receptionist at Eastern Savings Bank in Hunt Valley. 

On March 2nd, in Baltimore, Jody's light would be extinguished and the world a little darker from then on. That morning, she broke up with her live in boyfriend, Steve Dubin, who told her not to come home. Jody went to work at the bank and instead of going home she spent the snowy night, with some friends, at a local bar called "The Mount Washington Tavern."  When the bar closed, she decided an employee at the tavern had asked her for a ride. After Jody dropped him off she went to a atm and then a liquor store on Falls Road and bought a 6 pack of beer. Then Jody decided to hang out in her white Honda Civic in the parking of what is now the Drumcastle Government Center in the 6300 block York Road and made phone calls. At 3:40 a.m. a white BMW was pulled close by. A African-American man, in his 20's or 30's, weighing about 200 or 220 pounds and wearing a green fatigue jacket, exited the vehicle and approached Jody's car. He then pulled out a weapon and shot into the back of her vehicle. The bullet went through Jody's back and severed her spine. Surprisingly, she managed to pull out of the parking lot and drive across five lanes of traffic before coming to a stop outside a 24 hour market called "Giant Food". The man followed Jody in his car, got out and as she lay dying, stole something out of her purse before driving away heading south on York Road.

To me this doesn't sound like some random act. The murder must have been someone that either knew Jody or was stalking her. Whatever was stolen from her purse must have been important enough to someone to kill for it.

Due to her anxiety issues, Jody's family said that her driving out in the snow and taking a strange person home and then sitting in her car parked in a dark parking lot was very uncharacteristic of her. And there was no traces of drugs found in Jody's system to have influenced her behavior.

Fast forward to 2016, Jennifer was contacted via Facebook by a friend of Jody's named Mike. He said that his friend Rob had told him that he knew something about her murder. Rob claimed that he overheard a conversation a group of people were having about a well known drug dealer named Randy, hanging around the tavern the night that Jody was murdered. Randy always carried a gun and was possibly trying to collect money that she owed him. Rob also said that Randy would deliver drug in a brown paper bag. Randy is also a African-American man, but his weight was not on point with the description with that of what witnesses gave.

Randy is in Maryland State prison on drug charges.

Even though, there was witnesses to her murder, fingerprints found in her car and surveillance footage of what transpired the night of her murder, Jody's case remains unsolved.

Jennifer has placed numerous billboards around Baltimore in hopes of getting the tips that is needed to solve her sister's murder.

Police ask that anyone with information about the case call the Baltimore County Police Department or submit an anonymous tip to Metro Crime Stoppers by calling 1-866-7LOCKUP.

Queen Cleopatra: The Last Egyptian Pharaoh And The Most Influential Woman In The History Of Humankind.

๐Ÿ‘Cleopatra Philopator the 7th๐Ÿ‘
๐Ÿ‘She was born to King Ptolemy the 12th and Cleopatra the 6th Tryphaenia. It is rumored that Ptolemy and Cleopatra the 6th were allegedly cousins or siblings. It was common practice for ancient Egyptians to marry within their families in order to keep their bloodlines "pure."

๐Ÿ‘Cleopatra the 7th was smart and cunning growing up. She was her father's favorite child. At age 14, she was chosen by her father to co-rule after her mother passed away due to mysterious circumstances. Cleopatra served as deputy to the king and his regent. 

๐Ÿ‘Cleopatra's family were actually of Greek descent. She grew up speaking, reading, and writing Greek. She also learned many other languages including Egyptian and Latin. Cleopatra studied various different subjects like mathematics, philosophy, astronomy, etc.

๐Ÿ‘When the king died, Cleopatra was 18 years old and in order for her to rule Egypt, she had to marry her 10 year old brother Ptolemy the 8th. She quickly took control as the main ruler.


๐Ÿ‘As her brother got older, he decided he wanted more power. Ptolemy XIII's advisers pulled Cleopatra from power and banished her to Syria. Ptolemy XIII, became the sole Pharaoh of Egypt.

๐Ÿ‘In 48 BC, when 52 year old Julius Caesar arrived in Egypt 21 year old Cleopatra snuck back in and met with him. She was able to convinced him to help her win back the throne. Caesar defeated Ptolemy's army at the Battle of the Nile and Ptolemy drowned in the Nile River while trying to escape. Cleopatra then took back power and ruled alongside another younger brother, Ptolemy XIV.

๐Ÿ‘Julius Caesar and Cleopatra fell in love and soon had a baby named Caesarion. Cleopatra visited Rome and stayed at one of Caesar's country houses. 

๐Ÿ‘Cleopatra wanted Egypt to remain independent of Rome. She built up the Egyptian economy, establishing trade with many Arab nations. She was a popular ruler among the people of Egypt both because she embraced the Egyptian culture and because the country was prosperous during her rule. Cleopatra was a great ruler who cared about her people and took her job very seriously. She believed she was the reincarnated Egyptian goddess Isis. She worked hard to be a strong leader who helped build a strong country.

๐Ÿ‘In 44 BC, Julius Caesar was assassinated. After he died, Cleopatra became allies with the man who took his position as leader of Rome, Marc Anthony. Cleopatra and Marc Anthony also fell in love and had 3 children together. 

๐Ÿ‘Marc Anthony and Cleopatra also formed a military alliance against another of Rome's leaders, Octavian. Octavian was the legal heir of Julius Caesar, but Cleopatra wanted her son, Caesarion, to be Caesar's heir and to eventually become ruler of Rome. 

๐Ÿ‘Cleopatra and Marc Antony armies fought Octavian's army at the Battle of Actium. Antony and Cleopatra were defeated by Octavian and had to retreat to Egypt.

๐Ÿ‘Cleopatra's death is subject for debate after all these years. The most common theory is that when Marc Antony returned to the battlefield hoping to recover and defeat Octavian, hee soon realized that he was going to be captured. Upon hearing false news that Cleopatra had died, Antony killed himself. When Cleopatra heard that Antony was dead, she became very sad. She killed herself by allowing a poisonous cobra to bite her or pricked herself with a poisonous pin.

๐Ÿ‘With Cleopatra's death, Octavian took control of Egypt and it became part of the Roman Empire. 

๐Ÿ‘Did you know that Cleopatra was a chemist and her lead based eye makeup helped protect her from eye infections that were running rampant in Egypt at the time? She also owned a perfume factory and believed that fragrances could be used as a tool for persuasion.

Is Bethany Decker's Case A Step Closer To Being Solved?

Bethany Decker is an American missing person. She was pregnant on January 29, 2011, when she left her grandparents' home and returned to her apartment in Ashburn, Virginia. Her boyfriend, Ronald Roldan, says he saw her there later that day. She has not been seen since.

Investigators said there has been new “movement” in her case. The development came after a January search warrant of Decker’s Facebook account. Since 2011, better technology has helped investigators pinpoint the origination of suspicious online activity.

Ronald is the only person of interest in Bethany's disappearance. He is currently serving time in a North Carolina prison. He had been charged with attempted murder after a 2014 domestic violence attack on girlfriend Vickey Willoughby in her home in Pinehurst, North Carolina.

New Sandra Bland Video Released.

Her death was ruled a suicide. Questions have surrounded her death. A new video came out from Sandra's own phone, showing what she saw when she was pulled over.

Writer and Feminist Virginia Woolf

Virginia Woolf

“I have a deeply hidden and inarticulate desire for something beyond the daily life.” 


She was born Adeline Virginia Stephen on January 25, 1882, in London. She was an English writer, essayist and feminist. In her works she experimented with stream-of-consciousness, the underlying psychological as well as emotional motives of characters, and the various possibilities of fractured narrative and chronology,

From a young age, Virginia enjoyed telling stories, and she would regularly tell bedtime stories to other children about her neighbors. She also wrote in a journal everyday of her life.Virginia was home schooled by her father who was an author as well. Later she came to despise the way women were treated in society and the fact that her brother's got to go to college while she kept home. Virginia's mother was a nurse who also wrote a book. As a young girl, Virginia was curious, light-hearted and playful. Sadly, Virginia wouldn't stay that way for very long. 

Virginia was sexually abused by her half-brothers George and Gerald Duckworth. In 1895, at the age of 13, her mother died suddenly from rheumatic fever, which led to Virginia's first mental breakdown. Her half-sister Stella had become the head of the household, but died two years later.  A second severe breakdown followed the death of her father in 1904. During this time, Virginia first attempted suicide and was institutionalized. In 1905, she began writing professionally as a contributor for The Times Literary Supplement. A year later, Woolf's 26-year-old brother Thoby died from typhoid fever after a family trip to Greece. All of these events mixed with her bipolar disorder, fueled her course from literary expression and personal desolation that continued throughout the rest of her life.

Virginia and her brothers and sister moved to Bloomsbury, London and there they became members of a group of the artists called Bloomsbury Group. Here Virginia met writer Leonard Woolf, whom she married in August 1912. Together, they moved to Richmond, where they opened a publishing office called Hogarth House Press.

In 1915, her first novel, "The Voyage Out", was released.  In 1919, a year after the end of World War I, the Woolfs purchased a cottage in the village of Rodmell in, and that same year Virginia published her novel Night and Day. Her third novel Jacob's Room was published in 1922 and was based on her brother Thoby. That year, she met author, poet and landscape gardener Vita Sackville-West, the wife of English diplomat Harold Nicolson. Virginia and Vita began a friendship that developed into a romantic affair. Their affair eventually ended and they remained friends for the rest of her life.

In March 1941, Virginia was 59 years old when she put rocks in her pockets and drowned herself in the River Ouse, near her house. She left a suicide note: "I feel certain that I am going mad again: I feel we can't go through another of those terrible times. And I shan't recover this time. I begin to hear voices, and can't concentrate. So I am doing what seems the best thing to do. You have given me the greatest possible happiness... I can't fight it any longer, I know that I am spoiling your life, that without me you could work"


At the end of her life she had published nine novels and over 500 essays.

Bobby Fischer: Genius Chess Master And Not a Very Good Person.

Robert James Fischer
"All I want to do, ever, is play chess." 

He was born on March 9th, 1943 in Chicago, Illinois. Bobby was brought up in Brooklyn by his mom, Regina, after she moved there following her divorce in 1945. His mom was under FBI surveillance starting in 1942 due to her leftist beliefs as well as her being of Russian and German origin.

Along with his sister Joan, Bobby learned to play chess at the age of 6 using the instructions from a set bought at a candy store. At the age of 13 he became the youngest national junior chess champion in the USA and at the age of 14 he became the youngest senior US Champion. In 1958, at the age of 15, he became the youngest Grandmaster in the history of chess.

Despite having a IQ of 181,  in school Bobby was terrible student who routinely got Ds and was socially awkward. He was a loner with few friends at school and was essentially isolated. In 1960, he decided to drop out of Erasmus Hall High School in Brooklyn, NY.

In 1972, Bobby became the first American to win the title of World Champion in chess by defeating Boris Spassky of the USSR in Reykjavik, Iceland. 

After Becoming World Champion, Bobby became of recluse. He was stripped of the title after he refused to accede to chess officials' rules for an upcoming defense against challenger Anatoly Karpov, who was eventually awarded the title by forfeit. After this, Bobby turned down endorsements and became more publicly erratic. He was even arrested.

After 20 years, Bobby made a comeback into the chess world in 1992. A Yugoslavian business man and crony of Slobodan Milosevic put up a $5 million to sponsor a Spassky-Fischer rematch in what was left of Yugoslavia. Bobby easily defeated Spassky. He earned over $3 million and incurred the wrath of the US government. He was subsequently indicted, and a warrant was issued for his arrest in the US. Yugoslavia was heavily sanctioned by the United States and the United Nations as a result of genocidal violence related to the breakup of the country. Bobby publicly spat on the the US Treasury letter warning him of the consequences of participating in the match.

It has been alleged that Bobby kept boxes of Nazi propaganda, and on 9/11 he took this to the airwaves, via a public broadcast in the Philippines: "I say death to President Bush! I say death to the United States! Fuck the Jews! The Jews are a criminal people. They mutilate their children. They're murderous, criminal, thieving, lying bastards. They made up the Holocaust. There's not a word of truth to it... This is a wonderful day. Fuck the United States. Cry, you crybabies! Whine, you bastards! Now, your time is coming."

The US then canceled Bobby's passport after he traveled to Japan. When he attempted to leave, he was detained by Japanese officials at the request of the US government. The Icelandic parliament granted citizenship to Bobby to extricate him from a Japanese prison.

Bobby died in Iceland of kidney failure in 2008 at age 64.

Andrea Knabel, A Advocate For Missing People Vanishes Without A Trace.

37-year-old Andrea Knabel is a single mother of two and from Louisville, Kentucky. She has dedicated her time to help find missing persons. She’d recently been laid off her job and lost her car. She was last seen on August 13 about 1 a.m., leaving a relative’s home on foot. Andrea was pretty upset when she left. She was trying to get a ride from friends as she walked. Her phone pinged last between 1:30-2:00 a.m.The pings emanated from Louisville’s Audubon Park neighborhood where she last seen. Andrea tried to  Facetime someone at 2:12 a.m. but the person was sleeping and missed the call. Her phone has been shut off since then and all calls have gone directly to voicemail.

Andrea is 5'7" tall and weighs 190 pounds. She has dirty blonde/light brown hair and hazel eyes. She was wearing a light-colored tank top and white shorts on the night of her disappearance.

There is no evidence of foul play in her disappearance, but it can't be ruled out either.
