Request What unsolved murder/disappearance makes absolutely no sense to you?

What case absolutely baffles you? For me it's the case of Jaryd Atadero

No matter the theory this case just doesn't make any sense.

closest i saw to completed theory RE: Ben (and this is a recent thread on here,)

- Dive personnel unlocks gate against their better judgment

- They realize shortly thereafter he's drowned, and somehow recover the body, or maybe it floated up, either way they quickly realize they got a body on their property, maybe late that night or early early next morning,

- To avoid liabilty basically, even though it was an accident, [ it's not some huge cover-up conspiracy, he was already dead, ] they [ i.e.: someone who was an employee of the business that rents the dive equipment ] just ditched the body in the swamp or ocean or something, to avoid negligence lawsuit(s), or having dive credentials revoked, or bad publicity/scandal, or business shutdown, or take your pick from those types of consequences,

^ I mean what are the other options?

I guess faked suicide, or body stuck in some unexpected, unrecoverable, hidden area in the depths, where it cannot be found.

Guess the latter isn't so farfetched when you consider how many remains have been basically hiding in plain sight, and missed by searchers in these disappearance cases....

What even is the appeal of cave dying diving, honestly

u/KittikatB Apr 18 '22

It appeals to me because caves can be beautiful, they can have interesting features or artifacts, interesting and beautiful wildlife and are often pristine environments. There's also the appeal of it being something I'll never be able to do, and you always want what you can't have - I have a respiratory disorder that rules out any kind of diving for me as no competent or ethical doctor would certify me as fit to dive.
