Interesting article. Ive always been intrigued by cold cases and disappearances in particular because it leaves so many unanswered questions and alot to the imagination... But there is one small thing that should be clarified in this article regarding the Springfield three. The writer said that all 3 women's belongings were left in the house (incl. their cars) and their cellphones. However that isnt the case and none of them had cellphones because they vanished in the late 80s i believe, maybe early 90s.

The flight MH370!!

@glamgirl87 that's not really a big mystery. The parents knocked out their children with medicine whilst they went out to dinner. They returned and only 1/3 children taken. Their daughter's blood was found in the boot of their car. They as well as their friends they went to dinner with were never questioned and ruled out of the case despite lack of investigation and reasoning. The investigators haven't got any evidence to suggest anything but the fresh blood found in the parents car....
