"the two, were innocent" i mean. if you ignore that it was confirmed that they did beat him nearly to death and did strangle him with a towel, just happening to not strangle long enough to finish the job even though they thought they did, by them, and even by the person they tried to kill- yeah sure, innocent, they wouldn't hurt a fly- pretty sure that's still a conspiracy to commit, assault with intent to kill, battery and attempted murder...

[natgrafton]

a dead body can look extremely different from a living person. its very possible being in the wake of finding out the her son had been horrifically beaten and strangled, the mother may have genuinely thought it was her son. there is no way reason for her not to have believed, especially being presented with a body in bad condition.

Rewatched "Zodiac" recently and thought this might be a fun topic. Great movie.

[celeste]

I mean, the two a-holes from the first story DID try to kill him, and DID believe they succeeded so I think 10 and 15 years for that would be a light sentence

I'm a scientist and I work with methanol almost every day; hence, I've looked up what kind of taste it has so I know in case I accidentally ever ingest it. It's apparently sweet. That also makes it ideal for slipping into someone's sweet drinks as a poison, allowing it to go unnoticed. If he had accidentally ingested a glass of it, I'm sure he would know he wasn't drinking water or vodka. Methanol burns the skin a bit too, so it likely also burns going down like other alcohols. By diluting it you can get around this burn. After all, they only found 150 mL in his system (though more could have vapourized easily before analysis). The doctor calling this natural seems suspicious to me, as he should know more about methanol poisoning than I do. I think this guy was either murdered or someone placed methanol in a container/place it shouldn't be and there's a cover up of a serious accident going on.

Regardless of the state of affairs between countries, I feel like if someone gets murdered in your facility, you should care more about getting justice than petty politics!

Rodney: -starts vomiting blood-
Doctor: It's all in your head.

I can't help but laughed on the first story especially when I saw the model eating a noodles while listening to Lazy Masquerade's serious narration. 🤣

“Is the killer in this photo?”

Unless there was a murderous rogue penguin at large in the area then I’d say it’s pretty much a given.

[MJ_RS]

“They found the body of this guy” *zooms in on a man smoldering at the camera* odd, that

[tekbarrier]

Care should be taken when attributing a case of poisoning to malicious intent, because things aren't always as they seem. There was a well-known case of a woman who was suspected of poisoning two of her children with ethylene glycol (antifreeze). It was discovered later that she was completely innocent, and both of her children had MMA, a medical condition where the body produces a chemical similar to ethylene glycol.

[koolkat]

The second case, they identified him based on his wristwatch? Someone needs to dig up his bones and do a more thorough autopsy. The theory about faking his own death is the most believable to me.

[hauptberg]

Sherlock Holmes said "when you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth" Park, possibly fearing for his life, killed a man and placed his body there and when the couple went to prison, he came back home when he felt it was safe.

[redarrow]

Please, please, could you look up the “Restrepo Brothers case” from Ecuador? Is such a dark rabbit hole with ecuadorian police, insurgents and even the president involved back then. To this day it is the greatest mistery from Ecuador and it is still unsolved after 30+ years.

[Strype]

"Even when a muscle-bound gentleman from the British Ministry threw his full weight into the airplane door at an altitude of 1000 feet, the door only opened six inches before being slammed shut by the slipstream." Wow, talk about being willing to take one for the team. That man was either dangerously generous, or dangerously stupid... or both.

[PICFL]

“As the mothers tears swell the police patted themselves on the back” that made me laugh so hard for no reason. Just the image of a woman crying at her sons body as cops fist bump around her is hysterical🤣

[Titan_TM]

I'm pretty sure Rodney passed away due to consuming bad booze from the onsight Still, I don't remember if it was mentioned but I remember it being mentioned in previous investigations. Bad moonshine is one of the most common form of methanol poisonings

The Lowenstein mystery was partly used in the movie "Gilda" to show how easy it was to switch a body in a plane incident. Also it was used by Erle Gardner is his Perry Mason stories a few times.

"Relations between the two countries over the issue has always been icy, but now things were really getting heated"
Oh, Lazy!

[TheLadyLiddell]

In the first story, the two may not have killed the young man but they certainly TRIED to. I wouldn't want them released so soon.
