Murder of Kimberly Steele


On September 14, 2011, a home at 123 Town & Country Lane in Searcy, Arkansas was on fire. The mobile home belonged to 46-year-old Kimberly Steele and she had not been seen for two days at this point. It was determined that the home was set on fire in multiple places and there was no sign of Kimberly. Her two dogs were killed in the fire. A small blue car was seen at the residence shortly before the fire was noticed. Since there were no signs of Kimberly after the fire her parents reported her missing on the 15th. 

That same day Kimberly's body would be found. She was found in Prairie County at the Wattensaw Refuge. She has been shot in the head and her body caught on fire.

The Pharmacy Maniac


On May 26, 2011, a masked man with a sawed-off shotgun, and black cellophane bag would walk into a Klassika Pharmacy at 34 Lenina Prospekt in the Chelyabinsk city center in Chelyabinsk, Russia. There were a total of 8 people in the pharmacy. There were 4 employees and 4 customers. He would then demand valuables from everyone inside saying "I need 60 thousand rubles. Put the money in, whoever doesn’t want to, can move away, but I will shoot you in the stomach."

The people inside would oblige and give up their money and valuables. Two women would enter and would end up also giving their jewelry. Four of the people inside were able to escape through an exit in another room.

49-year-old Vladamir Shin entered the pharmacy. He would see the robbery happening and began to run out the front door. The Masked man would scream "Stop" just before shooting Vladamir in the chest. This would kill him and the masked man would flee the scene

He was described as wearing a medical mask, glasses, and a hat. Items given to the man were gold chains, bracelets, a ring, a cross, a church pendant, and money.

Around 5:30 on August 10, 2011, the man would once again walk into another Klassika Pharmacy. This one was 500 meters from the first one. This time upon entering he would shoot 30-year-old Igor Ustinov. Others in the Pharmacy would run into another room and huddle in a corner.

He would walk outside reload his gun and then come back inside. He would walk past Igor who was laying on the ground suffering from his wound. He would then ask "Where is he?" and then turn around and finish killing Igor by shooting him in the face several times.

According to witnesses, he stated "It's all your fault, it's all your fault white coats. When he was satisfied that Igor was dead he placed the gun into the black cellophane bag and left. He changed the direction he was walking several times and police were able to follow him on CCTV until Truda Street about a kilometer from the pharmacy.

Witnesses from the first scene stated that he was a man between 27 and 35 years old. He's 5'9" to 6'0" and 180 to 185 lbs. He is blonde with a face full of acne. He was wearing a jacket with blue and green stripes, blue jeans, and a dark-colored baseball cap. The only difference between the first description of him and the second it seemed as if he was sickly. He had a yellow look to his skin.

According to witnesses, the criminal looked ridiculous and behaved uncertainly. He was also heard expressing himself in phrases used by stereotypical American soldiers. It's possible that the murderer robbed people from the first scene to cover up the fact that he resented the pharmacy chain, "maybe, he cannot purchase some kind of drug.". He may have been sick with something as he was looking yellow during the second murder.

Disappearing Cabin in Arcata Community Forest













In July of 2015, Mark Andre was marking trees in one of Arcata Community Forest's remote sections. He was surprised to happen upon a cabin. It was perfectly concealed until you got around 12 ft close to it. It was in a perfect out-of-the-way spot. there were no trails or even foot trails that led to it.

It wasn't trashy, but a proper makeshift home. It did not feature any destruction to the environment like many other makeshift shacks found in the area. It was around 12 ft high with a concrete block foundation, with a stout frame, peaked roof, multiple windows, walls of plywood, and even featured a porch with an awning. The outside was covered with brown tarps, black plastic sheeting, and vegetation and brush disguising it.

Inside there were books, curtains, and a wood stove. It was obvious it was not a weekend project. It was strange that there was no evidence of how the woodstove would have gotten in there let alone gotten there through the dense forest. There was a to-do list found. The earliest date was in January of 2011 meaning for at least 4 years the cabin laid unfound.

An eviction notice would be placed on the shack as it was illegal for them to be there. The shack would have to be taken down and the items inside would have been kept for when the person would come to get them. However when they went back to the shack it was already all cleaned up.

A couple weeks later they visited the shack and it was noticeable they were removing their things. When they came back a couple weeks after that the shack was gone and the area was cleaned up with the squatters symbol left with charcoal.

It's unknown who had built the shack.

Disappearance of Florian Krüger



21-year-old Florian Krüger enjoyed being a DJ in his spare time in Germany. On the night of November 25, 2011, Florian played music at a bowling center and then afterward went to a discotheque. Friends would have seen him there and talked to him and at about 1 a.m. the next morning he would leave because he was tired. However, instead of going home, he went to his boyfriend's house because he wanted to talk about their difficult relationship. His boyfriend told him to leave and they would talk about it the next day because of how late it was. 

Florian would likely make it to a bridge in Kiel at about 1:45 a.m. His car would be found there with the hazard lights on at 2 a.m. in the middle of the bridge. His phone would be found inside with a message to a friend he saw earlier at the discotheque. "Kevin broke up. For me, life has no meaning anymore." There were no signs of suicidal thoughts or tendencies before this. Florian has not been seen since. 

Florian is a white male and was 21-years-old at the time. He was 5'9" at the time. He has dark blonde hair and blue/grey eyes. He has a burn scar on his neck, a small scar under his eye, and a small scar on the chin. He has a gap between his incisors. 

The link to the original information on the case on Internations Missing Persons Wiki does not work, so I'm unsure is case is still active or not.

The Taree Man



In November 2011 a skull was found at Manning Point, near Taree, in New South Wales, Australia. It was initially believed that it was the skull of a missing local teen. It was found that it was not true. It was found that 80% that the skull dated from 1650-1700 and 20% from 1780-1810. Even though it was initially believed that the skull belonged to a woman DNA found that they were a ma. It's believed that he was between 28 to 65-years-old white male.

It is believed that Captain James Cook was the first European to reach Australia in 1770. If the skull was from an earlier time period it could rewrite history.The remains could have been from anywhere as there were heavy rains meaning the skull could have been washed out of a private or unknown cemetary. 

Some theorize that since the skull was in good condition and found alone with no other remains that it may have been part of a private collection which was popular in the 19th century.

Murder of John Labbe



 On September 8, 2011, a friend of 54-year-old John Labbe came over to his home on Texas Hill Rd. in Plymouth, New Hampshire. His friend would find John's body in a shed. He had been shot multiple times and may have been dead for a couple of days.

In May of 2010, John was well known in New Hampshire for filing a civil suit in Hillsborough Superior Court name the Archidiocese of Manches and Missionary Oblates of Mary Immaculate as defendants. He alleged that he had been sexually abused multiple times in a four-year period in the 1960s. He was serving as a young altar boy at St. Brendan's Catholic Church and claimed that Rv. George St. Jean (deceased since 1982) was the perpetrator. The church may have known of the abuse and still gave the Reverand jobs dealing with children.

He was known as a soft-spoken and courageous man. He was one of the first men in New Hampshire to talk about sexual abuse against a priest. It's not known if the lawsuit had anything to do with his death. No motive could be found.
