The Mysterious Event in History: black dahlia Massacre

1947 65438+ 10 15, the nude of Elizabeth Short, a 22-year-old white woman, was found on a lush lawn in Norton block, like a broken human plaster model.

Judging from all the wounds of the victim, the police found that the victim was dismembered by a machete weapon, and there were many possibilities for her death. There is no doubt that she was brutally tortured for 36 to 48 hours before she died.

The victim Elizabeth (nicknamed "Betty" or "Beth") was the third of five daughters, and her father pretended to run away from home and committed suicide when she was very young. 1940, 16-year-old Betty was sent to Miami, then dropped out of school to work as a waitress in a hotel, and began to imitate the black dress of Diana, the idol movie star at that time, to establish the appearance of Leng Yan. What she wants most is to marry an air force soldier or become a star in the entertainment circle. She started hanging out in public places near military camps and naval bases, and got into trouble with many soldiers.

1945 At the end of the year, Betty established a love relationship with a pilot named Matt Gordon, but Gordon died in an air crash shortly after being stationed overseas, and Betty's only normal love relationship came to an end. After that, Betty wandered the streets of Hollywood, dreaming that one day she would be discovered by a "talent scout".

1947 65438+1On October 23, the murderer called the editor-in-chief of the Los Angeles Examiner and said that there was too little information about the murder and Betty's package would be provided to the editor-in-chief. On October 24th, 65438/KLOC-0, the newspaper received a parcel containing Betty's birth certificate, social security card, photos taken with many soldiers before her death, some business cards, newspaper clippings reporting Matt Gordon's death, luggage storage tickets and an address book with torn pages, with the names and contact information of 75 men on it. A letter sent with the parcel is a few words cut and pasted from a newspaper or book: "this!" 1On October 28th, 65438 sent a short message to the police station with several handwritten words: "1Wednesday, the morning of October 29th, 65438+10 was the turning point, and (I) wanted to have a good time with the police. "Signed the Avengers of black dahlia. Many people speculate that the murderer may turn himself in at the above time. Of course, the murderer didn't turn himself in as promised, and immediately sent a paper-cut and handwritten letter to the police. The letter said: "(I) changed my mind, you won't make a fair deal with me, and Dahlia's death is reasonable. "Unfortunately, in these three letters and the contents of the package, no fingerprints or other valuable clues of the criminals were found.

Mysterious events in history: the Earl of Saint-Germain who came and went without a trace.

The Count of Saint-Germain (17 10 ~ 1784) is a mysterious figure in history. He is regarded as courtier, adventurer, inventor, amateur scientist, painter, pianist, violinist and amateur composer. Others said that he had demonstrated alchemy and some magical skills. He is called a "freak", and no one knows where he comes from or where he is going.

The background and identity of Saint-Germain has always been a mystery, which has led to many speculations about its origin. In his later years, Saint-Germain claimed to be the son of Francis II Lakoc, prince of western Sichuan, and his first wife. Some people say that he is the illegitimate child of Maria Anna of Pfalcz-Newburg, the widow of Spanish King Carlos II, while others speculate that he is the son of the Portuguese king.

He first appeared in the name of Saint-Germain in 17 10, which was said to be in Venice. Other records include 1743 in London and 1745 in Edinburgh. During this period, he met Rousseau. He disappeared at 1746. Horace Walpole, an English writer who knew him from 65438 to 0745, described him like this: "He sang, played the wonderful violin and composed music, which was a little crazy and irrational."

He returned to Versailles on 1758, leaving some portraits. He claimed to have some dye formulas, but Louis XV let him live in Champol Castle, where he spent a long time with Louis XV and his mistress Madame Pomba Du. In Paris, he generously distributed diamonds as gifts. Giacomo Casanova, a famous Italian adventurer, said that he had seen Saint-Germain turn silver into gold. It is said that Saint-Germain sometimes implies that he is actually several hundred years old.

1760, the foreign minister, Duke choiseul, wanted to arrest Saint-Germain, but he had gone to England from Holland to perform the task assigned by Louis XV. After that, the count arrived in Russia via Holland. When a coup took place in Russia and Kathleen ascended the throne, he was obviously in St. Petersburg. Later, the conspiracy theory concluded that he was the cause. The next year, he appeared in South Holland (now Belgium), bought land and used another name, beyond. He tried to recommend his technology (processing methods of wood, leather and oil painting pigments) to the polis, and then disappeared in the next 1 1 year.

1774, he reappeared and introduced himself to a Bavarian count, saying that he was Ferrer Reinhardt Gemmingen-gutenberg, that is, Count Charogi. In German 1776, he claimed to be a knight of Weldon, used the deterioration of gold to alienate spies in frederick the great, and told the king that he was a member of the * * * economy. He lives in Prince Carl's residence in Hesse, studying herbal prescriptions and chemistry to help the poor. 1784 is the period when the count "should" die, and the cause of death may be pneumonia. He left no legacy.

But there are rumors that he is still alive: Paris 1835, Milan 1867, during the Napoleonic Wars in Egypt. Charles Louis Napolé on Bonaparte had a copy of his file, but it was burned in a fire in 187 1. Annie Besant, an theist, said that she met the count at 1896; Theologian C.W. Leadbbeater said that he met the count in Rome in 1926, and Saint-Germain showed a robe that once belonged to the Roman emperor, and said that his residence was a castle in Vanya, western Sichuan. Theologian Guy Ballard claimed that he met the Earl on Mount Shasta, was introduced to a group of tourists from Venus, and published a series of books about their communication. 1972 65438+1On October 28th, Richard Chanfray, a former prisoner and lover of singer Dalida, claimed to be the Earl of Saint-Germain in a French TV program and declared that Louis XV was still alive.

Mysterious events in history: Voynich manuscripts

Voynich's manuscript is a medieval manuscript written in an unknown language, which contains strange pictures of celestial bodies, fantasy plants and naked women. The first part of this book depicts strange plants that no one can identify so far. The language in the manuscript is different from any existing language. Each word of it consists of more than 10 letters, which rarely appears in ordinary languages. The illustrations in the manuscript show that the book is divided into six parts: herbs, astronomy, biology, universe, medicine and prescription. This manuscript is currently stored in Benec Rare Books and Manuscripts Library of Yale University.

Where was this manuscript written? Who is the author? What language are the words written in? What does the picture mean? After 100 years of efforts, people tried to decipher it, but in vain.

Rudolf II of the Holy Roman Empire spent 600 Dhaka gold coins on this manuscript in 1586, and disappeared mysteriously for more than 300 years. It was in the 20th century that wernicke's manuscripts once again attracted people's attention. 19 12 years, Wilfrid M. Voynich, an American Polish bookseller, found a box of ancient manuscripts Villa Mondragone, near Rome. He realized that it was a huge treasure: one of the books, about 240 pages thick, was shelved. The description of17th century in the manuscript shows that Rudolf II of the Holy Roman Empire purchased this manuscript in 1586.

Wernicke invited the top cryptographer at that time to try to decipher the implied meaning of the words and mysterious pictures in the book-but it didn't seem to conform to any known language. 1930 When wernicke died, this book was as mysterious as before. Even today, nearly 100 years after the manuscript was rediscovered, people still failed to unveil its mystery.

For a long time, people thought they could explain the hidden meaning. Newbold, a professor of philosophy, Finley, a lawyer, Bruberg, a professor of history, Stecco, Levitov, a linguist, Friedman, a cryptographer who worked in the US Secret Intelligence Agency, and countless others all claimed to have the answer, but no one could really solve the mystery in the manuscript.

Among them, roger bacon devoted himself to studying a complex interpretation system in the middle of13rd century to solve all the mysterious information in the book. Newbold analyzed Bacon's research results and speculated that Bacon was inspired by this manuscript and invented telescopes and microscopes to further study the fairy nebula, ovarian anatomy and testicles. Bacon's invention was 250 years ahead of his time.

No period, no comma, no main language structure. But magically, it seems to express a profound connotation: even those titles with only a few words make people feel that they contain a lot of content. The latest research methods on manuscripts have brought us new light-but Benec Library refused to disclose the results. It seems that the mystery of Wernicke's manuscript will continue.

The Mysterious Event in History: Jack the Ripper

Jack the Ripper, who killed at least five prostitutes in Whitechapel, East London, repeatedly wrote letters to the relevant units for provocation during the crime from1August 7, 888 to 1654381October 9, but never caught the law. Its bold criminal methods were repeatedly exaggerated by the media, which caused panic in British society at that time. He is still one of the most notorious killers in European and American cultures. Although it has been a hundred years since the crime, there are more and more books and related research on the case. However, due to the lack of evidence, there are different opinions about who is the murderer, and there is no intersection, which makes the case more confusing. However, Jack the Ripper's figure is constantly appearing in today's popular culture through media, rock music, toys and other items.

The location where the Ripper committed the crime was the famous immigration distribution center at that time, where tens of thousands of immigrants from Russia and Eastern Europe settled. Because of the meager income, it has long been a hotbed of poverty and crime, and homeless hooligans and prostitutes live on the streets. Although Scotland Yard has established a city-wide patrol network in 1829, the weak police force is still unable to bear the security of the East District where tens of thousands of prostitutes haunt every night.

It was in the 1990s, that is, 0/00 years after the serial killings in Whitechapel, that people got a more comprehensive understanding of Jack's modus operandi. The police inferred many characteristics of Jack: first, he must have considerable knowledge of anatomy; Secondly, considering the environment at that time (there is basically no lighting outside, so I have to be alert to the surrounding situation at any time, and time is extremely tight), Jack must be a skilled knife user; Third, most of the victims were stabbed in the neck from left to right, which means that Jack is probably left-handed or skilled with both hands. This speculation indirectly indicates that Jack is probably an experienced doctor or anatomist. 4. Jack may not have committed the crime alone (this inference is widely accepted by "royal conspiracy theorists", but there is no evidence that Jack has an accomplice); 5. Jack must be a man with certain physical strength; 6. Jack has a regular and legitimate job (the time of committing crimes is mostly on weekends), and he wants to live alone (going out alone at night, after the time of committing crimes is zero); Seven, the sense of social existence is low, unobtrusive, and there may be sexual defects (the criminal object is a prostitute).

Case flow

1888 On the evening of 7 August, a worker found a female corpse in an alley near Whitechapel in east London, with 39 knives on her body, 9 of which were used to cut her throat. The deceased's name was Martha Turner, who was nearly 40 years old. She was an alcoholic prostitute and had lived in the local area for 13 years.

At 3: 45 am on August 3rd/Kloc-0, a coachman who was about to go to work found Mary Ann Nichols, a 43-year-old prostitute, lying in a pool of blood in a desolate warehouse area half a mile away. The face of the deceased was badly bruised, the neck was cut twice, the lower abdomen and genitals were poked, and the intestines were pulled out of the abdominal cavity.

At 5: 45 am on September 8, an old driver living on the third floor of a cheap hotel-style apartment saw a female body lying next to the fence in the backyard. The investigation proved that the 47-year-old Annie Chapman was another prostitute. The neck was cut and laparotomy was performed, and there were no signs of struggle before death. Autopsy found that some genitals and urinary organs of the deceased were missing.

On the morning of September 30th 1, the horse driven by coachman Louis hesitated on a dark path near his home. Louis struck a match and saw a woman lying on the ground. The deceased was Elizabeth strand, a 44-year-old Swedish prostitute, whose throat was cut.

While a large number of policemen were discussing the murderer's tactics at the scene of the murder, at 1: 45 a.m., a patrolman found another female body in an Aldgate hundreds of yards away. The body was cut open, the ears were cut off, the face was disfigured and some kidneys were missing. The deceased was another prostitute: Catherine Edworth, 46 years old.

On September 27th, a news agency received a letter written in red ink and covered with fingerprints. The screenwriter jokingly indicated in a non-working class tone that he was the murderer of serial murders and signed it "Jack the Ripper"; 1 0 June1day, the same company received another postcard judged to be the same person. The police didn't take this clue seriously and thought it was just one of many pranks at that time. However, through media reports, the name of "Jack the Ripper" has spread like wildfire. Extremely bloodthirsty and abnormal "Jack" is not satisfied at this time.

165438+1on the morning of October 9 10: 45, the landlord asked someone to collect Mary Carey's rent, and she had been in arrears for six weeks. Mary was found lying naked on a bed in a pool of blood, with her nose and ears cut off, her breasts cut off and her internal organs scattered on the bed and bedside table. The wall was covered with blood. The police later determined that the murderer had committed the crime for at least two or three hours, and the deceased suffered the most in the above-mentioned murder.

After mary carey's murder, Jack the Ripper seems to have disappeared: there is no similar murder method in London, and the media's interest in this murder has gradually faded. However, the police mobilized a lot of manpower, but failed to solve the case, which was criticized by people from all walks of life in Britain, including Queen Victoria, and led to changes in the top management of the police. 1892, the police announced that they would stop investigating the serial murders in Whitechapel.

Who's Jack the Ripper?

Within 30 minutes to 2 hours before each murder, witnesses witnessed the deceased talking with a strong and dignified man in his thirties, who had to wear a hat.

Who the hell is Jack the Ripper? After World War I, books about Jack the Ripper began to appear in Britain on 1929. The craze of studying and trying to find out who Jack the Ripper is has been going on, and even the terms "Ripper" and "Ripper" have appeared. So far, the publication of related books has been overwhelming.

1998 published a book with a thickness of more than 400 pages, which was related to "Jack the Ripper Diary" discovered in the early 1990s. 1in April, 1993, the local newspaper disclosed that someone had found an old leather diary with black and gold edges. The author of the diary calls himself the mysterious Jack the Ripper. Influenced by the forgery of Hitler's diary, most "Ripper Scientists" at that time sneered at this diary. However, filmmaker Paul Feldman spent five years looking through all the relevant documents and dated them in his diary. The first 48 pages were cut off by a knife, leaving only 63 pages of scribbled handwriting for ink and paper. The conclusion is that neither he nor other experts can prove the authenticity of the diary. What is particularly convincing is that some statements in the diary were deliberately hidden by the police for the convenience of handling cases after the incident. These hidden parts were not made public until more than ten years ago, but the diary itself was identified as written at the end of 19 and the beginning of the 20th century. The writer of the diary is james may Brick, a Liverpool businessman.

1 10 years later, the answer was finally revealed? Some "Ripper Scholars" said that some of their questions still could not be answered satisfactorily. Jack the Ripper's identity mystery seems to have been solved in Liverpool, but like many answers in 1 10, this answer cannot be regarded as the correct answer. Jack the Ripper, a mystery novel co-authored by many people for more than 100 years, seems to be written in the end.
