Show more information Do

In 1975, the city of Wheaton, Maryland, was traumatized by a case of the most famous missing children ever. On the afternoon of March 25, the sisters Lyon, 12-year-old Sheila and 10-year-old Katherine, went to Wheaton Plaza Shopping Center, but never returned home. There were numerous calls, one of which was an eyewitness of 18-year-old Lee Lloyd Welch, who claimed he saw two girls out shopping in a car with an unidentified man. Welch made a polygraph test that appeared to indicate disappointment, and its leadership came to nothing. It would be almost 40 years before Welch was conclusively linked to disappearances.

In 2013, the case was reopened after investigators noticed a similarity between Welch and an outline of a man who was seen talking to the Lyon sisters at the mall. By this time, Welch was serving a 30 year sentence in a prison in Delaware for sexually assaulting a 10-year-old girl. When questioned, Welch admitted that he and his uncle, Richard Welch, kidnapped the girls. Lloyd claimed he witnessed his uncle sexually abusing one of the sisters, but denied any involvement in his death. However, two of Lloyd cousins claimed that saw him play two large, red-stained backpacks on a fire at the family property in Taylor Mountain in Virginia, creating a stink.

In July 2015, Lloyd Lee Welch was charged with two counts of murder in the first degree. The authorities do not rule out the possibility that other people were involved in the crime, and the wife of Richard Welch was charged with perjury for lying in front of a grand jury. Research has been conducted on the property of the Welch family for the rest of the sisters Lyon, but nothing was found.

The identity of 9 'Paul Fronczak'

On July 2, 1965, a male child was found abandoned in a stroller in front of a store in Newark, New Jersey. The researchers came to believe that the boy was Paul Fronczak, a newborn who had been abducted from a hospital in Chicago in August 1964. Paul was reunited with his parents, who they raised as his son. However, as he got older, Paul realized he had no resemblance to the rest of his family, and he began to believe that a mistaken identity case may have occurred. In 2012, a DNA test confirmed that he had no biological link with his family and was not really Fronczak Paul. Three years later, "Paul" finally discovered his true identity, and believe it or not, he just opened the door to another strange mystery.

In June 2015, the former Paul Fronczak announced that genetic genealogist CeCe Moore had used the DNA database to match it to your actual biological family. Although the family surname was not disclosed for privacy reasons, "Paul" knew his real name was "Jack" and that he had four brothers. However, the most shocking revelation was that Jack had a twin sister named Jill, who also disappeared mysteriously.

According to his brothers, Jack and Jill both disappeared before their second birthday. His parents said the rest of the family that they were now living with other relatives and ordered them to never mention the twins again. Photos of Jack and Jill were also removed from family photo albums. Since parents of twins are now deceased, still no answers about Jack's abandonment, the inexplicable disappearance of her twin sister, or the fate of the real Paul Fronczak.

The identity of the 8 'Benjaman Kyle'

One of the most mysterious amnesia cases of all time is an individual known as "Benjaman Kyle." On August 31, 2004, an unconscious naked man who appeared to be in his fifties was found in a dumpster behind a Burger King in Richmond, Georgia. It looked like he had been hit in the head with a blunt object, and he had no memory of what happened and not even remember his own name. Doctors determined that he was suffering from retrograde amnesia. Since it was found near a Burger King, the man decided to use the initials "bk" to select a new name for himself- Benjaman Kyle.

Over the next decade, all attempts to discover the true identity of Benjaman Kyle went nowhere. DNA testing and digital prints checks turned up empty, and even the history of Benjaman received much media coverage, no one seemed to recognize him. Since he had no identity, Benjaman could not get a Social Security number, so he was forced to work under the table and rely on the kindness of others to survive.

Finally, in September 2015, Benjaman publicly announced that CeCe Moore (the same genetic genealogist who helped the former Paul Fronczak) had used their DNA samples to match it with their biological family. He was originally from Indiana and had apparently broken all contact with his family, who had not seen since 1976. Former Benjaman Kyle since then tracked their original birth certificate and Social Security records and used them to get a new card identification under his real name. He plans to meet with his family, but for the moment, he's keeping his true identity secret from the public.

7 The disappearance of Zebb Quinn

On the night of January 2, 2000, 18-year-old Zebb Quinn quit his job at Walmart in Asheville, North Carolina, and disappeared under very strange circumstances. Two weeks later, abandoned car Zebb was found near the hospital where his mother worked. A pair of lips was taken on the back windscreen in lipstick, and the vehicle contained several items that do not belong to Zebb, including a Labrador dog. There have been numerous persons of interest in the disappearance of Zebb including a Zebb woman was romantically interested in and her abusive boyfriend. However, a lot of attention focused on your co-worker, Robert Jason Owens, the last person known to see live Zebb.

According to Owens, Zebb was sent off shortly after they left the Walmart together, but Owens displayed a lot of suspicious behavior. He was treated for injuries the morning after the disappearance of Zebb, providing a story has not been verified and unbelievable to support them in a car accident. A few days later, Owens represented Zebb during a phone call in which he called in sick to work.

Over the coming years, Owens served numerous passages in prison for minor crimes, but things got serious in March 2015, when Owens was charged with the murder of a couple in Leicester. The victims were Joseph "JT" Codd and his pregnant wife, Cristie Schoen Codd. Owens had been hired to carry out the construction of your home, and it is believed he murdered them during an attempted robbery. The couple dismembered remains were found in a wood stove in the Owens property. The authorities continue to conduct property searches for evidence that Owens was responsible for the disappearance of Zebb Quinn.

6 The disappearance of Bonnie Haim

On January 6, 1993, 33-year-old Bonnie Haim disappeared from her home in Jacksonville, Florida. At the time, Bonnie lived there with her husband, Michael, and her three-year-old Aaron. According to Michael, he had an argument with Bonnie, and she decided to expel and never returned. The next day the purse was found in a dumpster motel near the Jacksonville airport. A short time later, abandoned car Bonnie was found in the airport parking lot. However, no one really believed that Bonnie fled voluntarily, and suspicion immediately turned to her husband.

Michael was known to be abusive to Bonnie, and she was planning to leave him. Bonnie deposited money in a secret bank account and put a deposit on a new apartment, and Michael reportedly was furious when he found out. After Bonnie's disappearance, the couple's son was interviewed by a child psychologist. Printing Aaron gave was that he had witnessed his father murder his mother before removing the body of the house. Due to the young age of Aaron, his testimony was not considered strong enough evidence to bring charges against Michael. However, Michael ended up losing custody of his son, and his house was seized after losing a civil action for Bonnie's family.

In December 2014, the previous owners of the house Haims' were digging an old-pool out of the yard when they came across skeletal remains. Eight months later, DNA tests confirmed that the remains belonged to Bonnie Haim. Michael Haim was immediately arrested and charged with murder of his wife.

Identifying 5 'Marie'

At approximately 01:00, on June 9, 1973, a man named Lawrence Dorn was arguing with a teenager at an intersection in St. Petersburg, Florida, when he suddenly pushed the girl to the path of an oncoming car. She was hit and dragged over 30 meters (100 feet), dying instantly. Dorn was arrested and charged with the girl's murder. He claimed that he pushed the girl in self-defense. Its rate was reduced to manslaughter and then fell through because the prosecution could not prove intent.

The strangest aspect of this story was that no one in the area knew the true identity of the girl. She performed with names like "Janice Marie Brock" and "Janice Marie Bromke" but most people know her as "Marie". Marie had claimed that his date of birth was June 17, 1953, but it appeared to be younger. All attempts to discover the identify they went nowhere.

The case remained cold until January 2015 when a man named Timothy Young told the police that he had seen a sketch of Marie online and thought she looked like her older sister, Janice Marie Young, who had been absent for more than 40 years. Timothy and Janice both endured abusive childhoods and were molested by a relative. They ended up being taken away from his family, whose last name was "Brock", and adopted by the new family in Newport News, Virginia. At 16, Janice ran away from home, and that was the last of his brother saw her. Finally, in May, a DNA test confirmed that "Marie" was in fact Janice Marie Young.

On the morning of September 20, 1987, the body of a young woman was found on a beach near Dana Point, California. The woman looked to be 18-23 years old and had fallen to their deaths from a cliff. A number of items were found on top of the cliff, including a bag and a map with the phone number for a taxi company written on it. The woman was not carrying identification, although her bag had a name embossed-Carol Pinkham. The researchers did track down a woman named Carol Pinkham, but she had no known connection to the victim and claimed that her purse was stolen from his 12 previous years.

It turned out that the woman had called a cab to pick her up from a gas station in Oso at about 4:00 a.m.. She told the driver that his car had broken down. (No abandoned vehicles were found in the area.) She asked to be taken to the Ritz-Carlton in Laguna Beach, but since she did not have enough money to cover the entire trip, the driver took her as far as he could before falling - it near the cliff area.

The woman remained an anonymous Jane Doe for more than 27 years, until the case has attracted the attention of some childhood friends of Holly Glynn Jo, a young Whittier that had not been seen since the 1980s Finally, in May 2015 the DNA positive test confirmed that Holly was Glynn John Dana Point Jane Doe. Holly was 21 at the time of his death, which was ruled to be a suicide.

3 The wrongful conviction of Mario Casciaro

In September 2014, Listverse featured the story of 17-year-old Brian Carrick, who mysteriously disappeared while working a shift in Val food market in Johnsburg, Illinois in December 2002. Just a few weeks after the article was published, it was announced that the presumed killer Carrick may have been wrongly convicted of the crime. Even if the Carrick's body was never found, his supervisor in the market, Mario Casciaro, received a 26 year prison sentence for the murder of Carrick in 2013. The main evidence against Casciaro was the testimony of another market coworker, Shane Lamb, who claimed Carrick who was killed over a drug debt.

However, Lamb would later recant his story, claiming that his testimony was false and that Casciaro was completely innocent. The case was further complicated when the DNA test was performed on some blood that has been found on the market freezer for a product shortly after the disappearance of Carrick. The blood did not belong to Casciaro but met up to another co-worker named Robert Render, who died of a heroin overdose in 2012. Once Lamb recanted their testimony, there was no other evidence tying Casciaro crime, so his case was heard in front of the Second Appellate District Court of Illinois. In September 2015, they ruled to overturn the conviction of Mario Casciaro, and he was later released from prison. The whole truth about the disappearance of Brian Carrick remains a mystery.

2 The disappearance of Robin Putnam

On July 7, 2012, college student 25-year-old Robin Putnam hopped on an Amtrak train in California to visit her family in Colorado. At about 3:00 in the morning, the train made a stop in Salt Lake City, and Robin inexplicably rolled off. He left some of his belongings behind, including his laptop and wallet, and disappeared without a trace. Before his disappearance, Robin had been suffering from anxiety attacks and displaying erratic behavior. Since he allegedly had not slept for days before his train trip, all signs seemed to point to him having some sort of mental breakdown.

In the following months the disappearance of Robin, there were unconfirmed reports of it in the area of Salt Lake City, suggesting that he may have been wandering the streets as a homeless transient. The family of Robin would spend the next three years looking for him, but the mystery has finally come to a tragic end when railway employees found some skeletal remains next to railroad tracks in a remote desert area 24 km (15 mi) off Wells, Nevada. Since debit card Robin and a set of keys with his name were also found, it seemed likely that the remains were his. Dental records would officially confirm this in August 2015. At the time, the cause of Robin Putnam of death is unknown, and there is still no answers as to why his remains were found more than 290 kilometers (180 miles) away from where he was last seen.

1 The disappearance of Lynne Schulze

On December 10, 1971, 18-year-old Lynne Schulze left his dorm at Middlebury College in Vermont and was going around the campus to do a final exam. Schulze suddenly told her friends that she forgot her favorite pen and returned to his dorm to get it. This was the last time anyone has ever seen. Baffling disappearance of Schulze maintained a cold case forgotten for over 40 years, until an unlikely series of events pushed him back into the spotlight.

In 2015, HBO aired a miniseries of six parts documentary called The Jinx, who narrated the controversial story of eccentric millionaire Robert Durst. Durst had always been the prime suspect in the disappearance in 1982 of his wife, Kathleen Durst, and the unsolved 2000 murder of a woman named Susan Berman. In fact, Durst had actually gone to trial for the murder of a neighbor named Morris Black in 2001, but could be acquitted for self-defense reasons. During the filming of The Jinx, new incriminating evidence began to emerge against Durst. On March 14, a day before the end of the series aired, Durst was arrested for the murder of Susan Berman. A short time later, a startling connection was made between Durst and Lynne Schulze.

In 1971, Durst and his wife owned a health food store in Middlebury called "All Good Things". A few hours before she disappeared, Schulze was seen frequenting the store and eat some prunes out. There was also a confirmed sighting of Schulze across the street from the store over an hour after she was last seen on campus. While this connection between Robert Durst and Lynne Schulze may be nothing more than a strange coincidence, the authorities have not yet ruled out the possibility that Durst murdered other victims, and he has been touted as a possible suspect in the disappearance of Schulze.
