  The Mad Trapper Outran 30 Men and a Plane for 48 Days. Nobody Knows His Name.

  Oct 6, 202631 minS2

  February 1932. A man lies face down in the snow on the Eagle River with seven bullet holes in him, still holding his rifle. It took 48 days, 30 men, 133 dogs and the first airplane ever used in a Canadian manhunt to put him there. Nobody in the western Arctic recognized his face, and when scientists exhumed him 75 years later, DNA eliminated every named suspect. His identity is still unknown.

  In 1987 two men were arrested in Tallahassee with six children. Within days the evidence was seized, the headlines faded and the case all but disappeared.

  Sep 29, 202634 minS2

  On November 2, 2000, someone logged onto a small internet forum and described, in technical detail, a machine that could move a human being through time. Over four months and 151 posts he called himself John Titor, a soldier from 2036 sent back to retrieve a 1975 IBM 5100 with a hidden function almost nobody knew existed. Then he typed one last sentence and vanished. Four years later, an IBM engineer confirmed the hidden function was real.

  In 1982 a twelve-year-old paperboy vanished from West Des Moines, Iowa. No body, no note.

  Sep 22, 202656 min

  In July 1996 a family of four German tourists drove a rented minivan into the most remote corner of Death Valley and never came out. Ninety-one days later a ranger spotted the van buried in sand in Anvil Spring Canyon, and the largest search in the park's history found exactly one beer bottle. Thirteen years on, a volunteer with eight months of experience asked the question 250 professionals never did.
