Fwiw, there are several night buses that run all night and pass through Musselburgh. Not as frequent as during the day, but enough that it's not infeasible to use the bus after midnight. I have no insight whether or not that's what he would have tried to do, just wanted to clarify that it isn't...

It's really unfortunate that bodies are so often hard to find, even when they're relatively close to where the person went missing. (Assuming this is her; I suppose even if it's not her, it's a case of a body being hard to find since people were looking for bodies there.) I'm sure that because...

Agreed. It's hard to imagine a situation where blood from a killing inside could drip to the outside unless the house was so badly made it should have been condemned years ago. (Though I've seen the kind of house university students can afford, and "should have been condemned years ago" is...

IMO the wording in this article is a reporter who wasn't there summarizing a secondhand report of what someone saw and edited by an editor who may not find it important to distinguish between "discovered one of what turned out to be multiple bodies" and "discovered the bodies" even if the...

Just based on what I see from other cases on here, it sounds like police will generally say there's no danger to the wider public unless they have specific reason to believe that someone is currently on a killing spree. I wouldn't read too much into it.

It seems more likely to me that the woman that is thought to be their mother is in fact their mother. But anything could happen.

The NY Post seems to be a lot like the Daily Mail. You'll get the juicy details, but you probably shouldn't assume they have anything more than a very distant relationship with the truth.

Wow, I really never thought he'd be found. Feels like a good time to reread Tom Mahood's blogposts; I hope he posts his thoughts about the find once he's able (as it sounds like there are some details currently being kept secret).

I think that's pretty much entirely urban legend. Anything's possible, of course, but it probably shouldn't be at the top of anyone's list.

I'm very confused by this story. How submerged is submerged? I'm imagining them finding him sitting in the truck with water up to his waist or something. I assume it wasn't completely underwater, but none of this bodes well for Emma... ETA: Whoops, should have refreshed one more time before...

Catastrophic failures like this are usually a confluence of several things, not just one failure afaict. You'd want to know for sure if the location contributed to the collapse before you let anyone else build there (or nearby, potentially), rather than just the kind of informed guesses that...

FWIW there's already a existing game called Don't Starve which has been around since 2013, so I don't think he'd be making a game called that. Unless I'm misunderstanding your post, in which case I apologize!

Stumbled upon this one while looking at Charley Project updates. I can't find any information formally linking this body to Billy Shane Trott, but it sounds like he was found deceased in 2017 and that he wasn't immediately identified. Billy Shane Trott – The Charley Project It sounds like they...

Rest in peace, William Scott, and I hope your family finds peace as well. I live nearby and walked past where he was found a few times over the holidays. It's a weird feeling. It's about two blocks downstream from where he was last seen, so I'm sure nobody was surprised, but it's spooky to...
