June and Jennifer are from my town, I was in school with their nieces and nephewsGreat thread - Nutty Putty and Omayra Sanchez have been obsessions of mine at different times. Apparently the video for Pompeii by Bastille is inspired partly by Omayra.
A few for now
I had this is a 'book of mysteries' as a child complete with pictures of their bodies - so weird to think of now. I guess they have explained it since.Soyuz 11 - Wikipedia

I think I have read Joyce‘s story before, but seeing all the harrowing details in the wiki makes it so hard to compute…the fact she was surrounded by Christmas presents she had wrapped and that the TV was on for the whole two years. The banality of that scene (but also…the humanity - a person wrapping presents is a person with hopes and dreams for the future) is absolutely galling. And she was so beautiful. What a hard case to get over.^^ I'm having trouble understanding what the Toynbee Tiles are about, but I find them more mysterious than fascinating
There is also a story about a lady called Joyce Vincent which stayed with me for years. It was basically a young woman who lay undiscovered dead in her apartment for a couple of years before anyone found her, and this was because she was estranged from any family and didn't have any close friends or friends living close by. No one in the building ever checked her apartment and people assumed she was alive in there because her tv was left on and all her bills were automatic payments. She must have not had any trash the day she died because no one reported smells of any kind emanating from her apartment neither.
Now, it may not be too fascinating but stories like this captivate me because it riddles human cruelty and neglect all in one. To think that some people become isolated for so long that no one even questions their existence anymore is both bizarre and terrifying. It could literally happen to anyone. And to this day many more stories of this nature have been coming out, there's just something gross and inhumane about it.

Oh wow - I first heard about them through the Manic Street Preachers song Tsunami and have read the book since. Such a shame they couldn't live peacefully together.

Yeah, the main theory seems to be she had a psychotic break of some sort. Imagining people were chasing her, hiding on the roof in the water tank to get away, etc. It all just seems very strange, though, doesn't it? Poor woman.

That poor woman; she had no chance. You can see she tries to stop herself at the very last moment but it's too late.I strongly recommend not looking up the video of this incident. I saw it a couple of years back because the YouTube algorithm put it right there on my homepage. I wish I could unsee it.

Yeah…I just don’t know why everyone was ignoring all the warnings. If anything good comes of that video, it’s that one who sees it will act so recklessly at a crossing afterward

Genie has long fascinated me. It sounds awful but I have never understood why they kept her alive so long like that. Like if she was so unwanted why not just let her die? Psychologically it's very interesting. I think of her a lot, especially since I had my own child.Genie
