    The one of the American woman kidnapped off a cruise ship and sold into sex slavery is the most interesting. Why the fuck did the Navy guy at the brothel not do or say anything?

    David may not be the only visitor to Curaçao to have seen Amy. A member of the Navy says he saw her during a visit to a brothel there in 1999. She told him that her name was

    Amy Bradley and begged him for help. He told her there was a Navy ship five minutes down the road. As Amy's mother recounts, "She said, 'You don't understand, I can't leave. Help me. Please help me.'" But the man dismissed her plea because at the time he didn't know Amy was missing — and because he wasn't supposed to be there.

    "And when he saw Amy's picture on the front cover of Peoplemagazine, that's when he contacted us, because he realized it was the same girl," Iva says.

    Not that I know of. He was called in by Boulder police to help with the investigation. I'm not sure what the Ramseys would have paid him for.

    This article is very interesting. The scale of this project is so large it's difficult to comprehend.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atlantropa

    "Atlantropa, also referred to as Panropa, was a gigantic engineering and colonization idea devised by the German architect Herman Sörgel in the 1920s and promoted by him until his death in 1952. Its central feature was a hydroelectric dam to be built across the Strait of Gibraltar, which would have provided enormous amounts of hydroelectricity and would have led to the lowering of the surface of the Mediterranean Sea by up to 200 metres (660 ft), opening up large new lands for settlement, for example in the now almost totally drained Adriatic Sea."

    Which would have led to the immediate invasion of Western Europe by Russia, cuz there's no way they'd let their warm water ports on the Black Sea become useless.

    Not exactly creepy (other than you'd assuredly be a human sacrifice), but I went down a rabbit hole of "uncontacted tribes/civilizations" last night. There are several in the Amazon. This first video is pretty freaking incredible:

    There are also some in the Indian Ocean, to the East of India. These guys have apparently never had any sort of 'close contact' with a westernized civilization, and have killed foreigners that have encroached on their island(s).

    Allegedly Joe Kennedy had doctors do that to Rosemary Kennedy because she was mentally ill and he wanted her to be more docile so as to not hurt JFK's political potential. They botched it and left her almost completely incapacitated and lived the remainder of her life alone in a mental institution.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosemary_Kennedy#Lobotomy


    Placid and easygoing as a child and teenager, the maturing Rosemary Kennedy became increasingly assertive and rebellious. She was also reportedly subject to violent mood swings. Some observers have since attributed this behavior to her difficulties in keeping up with siblings who were expected to perform to high standards, as well as the hormonal surges associated with puberty. In any case, the family had difficulty dealing with her stormy moods and reckless behavior. Rosemary had begun to sneak out at night from the convent school in Washington, D.C. where she was cared for and educated.[12] Her normally placid personality and occasional erratic behavior frustrated her parents who expected all of their children to behave appropriately, be highly goal-oriented, and act competitively. Joseph P. Kennedy, Sr. was especially worried that his daughter's behavior would bring shame and embarrassment upon the family and possibly damage his political career.[13]

    In November 1941, when Rosemary Kennedy was 23, doctors told Joseph P. Kennedy, Sr. that a new neurosurgical procedure, lobotomy, would help calm her mood swings and stop her occasional violent outbursts.[14][15] (About 80 lobotomies, 80% on women, had been performed in the United States at the time.) He decided that his daughter should have the lobotomy performed; however, he did not inform his wife Rose of this until after the procedure was completed.[13]Rosemary was strapped to the operating table.[16] James W. Watts, who carried out the procedure with Walter Freeman, of Wingdale Psychological and Correctional Facility, described what happened next (as narrated by Ronald Kessler):

    "We went through the top of the head, I think she was awake. She had a mild tranquilizer. I made a surgical incision in the brain through the skull. It was near the front. It was on both sides. We just made a small incision, no more than an inch." The instrument Dr. Watts used looked like a butter knife. He swung it up and down to cut brain tissue. "We put an instrument inside", he said. As Dr. Watts cut, Dr. Freeman put questions to Rosemary. For example, he asked her to recite the Lord's Prayer or sing "God Bless America" or count backwards..... "We made an estimate on how far to cut based on how she responded." ..... When she began to become incoherent, they stopped.[17]

    After the lobotomy, it quickly became apparent that the procedure was not successful. Kennedy's mental capacity diminished to that of a two-year-old child. She could not walk or speak intelligibly and was considered incontinent.[18]

    Bitch gonna sully the Kennedy name? Better scramble that brain like fresh farm eggs and send her off to an institution. Joe Kennedy seems like he was a legit piece of shit.

    Even in 1941 I would expect a person could assume an experimental brain surgery (when he did not even tell his wife he scheduled it for their daughter) might have some fairly significant consequences. He probably didn't expect her to become a potato but he certainly wantonly subjected her to an experimental procedure likely due to his own family vanity and political aspirations.

    May not have even been that, since they were apparently prepared for the cold. The popular theory is now that this area produces sound waves when high winds are present that drove them insane.

    How does that explain the missing tourists that reported they found 50 y/o man ? Unless they called it in on a Sat phone and then immediately went missing.

    Agreed - but it's odd that a group of experienced trekkers would wake up in a panic for no reason.

    It doesn't have to be no reason. It could have easily been a pack of wolves or a bear or some other large predator that freaked them out if it wasn't an impending avalanche.

    I believe (though I could be wrong) that their camp was above the elevation where bears and animals live/hunt. It was only when they ran down the mountain that they re-entered that area. Also, the group's footprints were visible, and there were no other human or animal footprints in the vicinity of their camp.

    Not sure where you jumped in but it gets MUCH better about that, the early episodes are tough, but once they get into serial killers and other "real" oddities, guessing episode 10 or so, it gains structure.
