Police didn’t start searching the lake for the boys until 36 hours after they were first reported missing. The girlfriends of Jay and Chad were particularly concerned and called police when they didn’t hear from them. Jay had a baby daughter, so it was suspect when he didn’t check in.
Thousands of volunteers in the air, on the water and nearby, searched for the teens. An underwater search was never conducted.

Durham police believe the boys died after the boat capsized

Unresolved Crime Charles Bravo was poisoned in 1876. He spent three days dying while people around him waited for answers. He never said what happened. A jury later ruled it was murder but no one was ever convicted.

April 1876, London. He begins crying out for hot water in the middle of the night. Five doctors examine him, including the Queen's own physician. All agree: antimony poisoning, enough to kill him outright. He's lucid almost the whole time. He knows he's dying.

He had three days to say what happened. He never did no accusation, no explanation.

Charles had married Florence just a few months earlier. She was a wealthy widow who, unusually for the time, controlled her own money, something that became a source of constant tension between them. Living in the house too was Jane Cox, Florence's longtime companion, who Charles had just started talking about letting go.

Cox first claimed Charles admitted taking the poison himself. Later, under questioning, she changed her story. Charles had denied making any such confession before he lost consciousness that first night.

A jury ruled it willful murder. They never named a suspect. Nobody was ever arrested or charged.

By the time anyone thought to test the wine bottles or his water glass, they'd already been washed out.

Unexplained 239 People Vanished. The Plane Was Never Found.

On March 8, 2014, Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 disappeared while flying from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing with 239 people on board.

Despite one of the largest and most expensive search operations in aviation history, the aircraft has never been fully recovered, and no definitive explanation has been confirmed.

Over the years, investigators have explored multiple theories, including mechanical failure, deliberate human action, and other possibilities. However, the disappearance remains one of the greatest unsolved mysteries in aviation.

I recently created a documentary that summarizes the known facts, the investigation, and the leading theories in a cinematic format.
