Strange & Unexplained

On May 6, 1996 two 19-year old girls in Japan went to visit a haunted hotel and disappeared, then 25 years later the girls were found at the bottom of the sea. How did they end up there? And why did it take so long to find them? “I’m in Uozu City” This was the last message received from Megumi Yashiki and Narumi Takumi before they vanished off the face of the earth, but not forever. The message was sent via pager to their friends.   Patreon.com/sandupodcast Merch: truecrimeguys.threadless.com Email: sandupodcast@gmail.com Social Media: @sandupodcast   Sources: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rYvWtMBvXAc&t=2s https://hyakumonogatari.com/2012/02/01/kimodameshi-the-test-of-courage/ https://www.tripmondo.com/japan/hiroshima/yamagata-gun/tsubono/ https://mysteriousuniverse.org/2017/10/mysterious-vanishings-in-japan/ https://www.highsnobiety.com/p/bosozoku-japanese-gangs-fashion/ http://www.vice.com/video/japans-aging-bosozoku-biker-gang-859 http://okakuro.org/tsubono-kousen/ http://fumibako.com/kowai/story/case/2.html https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Korean_abductions_of_Japanese_citizens#Other_abductions_by_North_K https://www.ladbible.com/news/weird-girls-who-travelled-to-haunted-hotel-and-went-missing-for-25-years-20210615 https://survivalupdate.com/the-mystery-of-two-girls-who-visited-a-haunted-hotel-and-disappeared-for-25-years/ https://bigworldtale.com/science/haunted-abandoned-hotel-where-schoolgirls-visited-and-vanished-25-years-ago/ https://www.tokyoreporter.com/japan/witness-testimony-led-to-discovery-of-corpses-of-girls-missing-since-96/ https://www.tokyoreporter.com/japan/toyama-corpses-of-girls-who-went-missing-in-96-found-in-car-submerged-at-port/ https://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=vi&u=https://afamily.vn/chuyen-di-den-khach-san-ma-am-cua-2-thieu-nu-ket-thuc-voi-thi-the-nam-lai-duoi-bien-sau-hon-20-nam-dang-ngo-la-phan-ung-cua-nhan-chung-va-canh-sat-20210616152727822.chn&prev=search&pto=aue

There is a small town in Finland located just west of the country’s capital city of Helsinki, this small town is known as Espoo. The town has been a growing metropolis since the end of WW1, and by the 1960’s it was thriving, but still maintained that small town feel.  That is precisely why a group of four teenagers felt comfortable pitching a tent on the shores of Lake Bodom, but a night that started out as fun and leisurely, quickly turned into a cold-blooded massacre.     Patreon.com/sandupodcast Merch: truecrimeguys.threadless.com Email: sandupodcast@gmail.com Social Media: @sandupodcast     “Shout out to our Patron, Janna B. for suggesting the case.

South Chicago has long been considered as the birthplace of American serial killers, and with names like H.H. Holmes and John Wayne Gacey, and Richard Speck, ringing in the air it's easy to see why. Since January of 2001 there have been 51 unsolved and oddly similar homicides in the south and west Chicago areas involving mostly black women who work mainly in the sex industry.   Patreon.com/sandupodcast   Merch: truecrimeguys.threadless.com   Sources: https://www.unforgotten51.com/2020/12/portraits-say-her-name-say-all-their.html https://www.thepetitionsite.com/940/901/159/there-is-at-least-one-active-serial-killer-in-chicago-right-now/ petition http://www.murderdata.org/p/search-homicide-records-by-victim-type.html http://themurdersquad.com/episodes/is-there-an-active-serial-killer-in-chicago/ https://youtu.be/xmtlArN_3iM. https://youtu.be/Jv_3OHd_bc4. https://youtu.be/UTo3j_pM0zM https://www.chicagoreader.com/chicago/serial-killer-51-women/Content?oid=86544073 https://www.vice.com/en/article/5955vd/is-there-a-serial-killer-roaming-the-streets-of-chicago   VICTIMS: 2001: -Angela Marieanna Ford was found strangled in an abandoned building on January 4. -Charlotte W.
