1. Morgan Dana Harrington
First up is the mysterious disappearance of Morgan Dana
Harrington. She was a 20 year old student at Virginia
Tech University in Blacksburg, Virginia. On the 17th
October 2009 Morgan attended a Metallica concert in
Virginia with a few friends.
Whilst the support act were still performing, Morgan went
off on her own to use the bathroom, since she didn't
want to have to go after Metallica had come on stage.
After an unusually long time Morgan had still not returned
from the bathroom, Metallica then came on stage and
Morgan was still nowhere to be seen. Her friends grew
very worried.
They rang Morgan and she picked up, she told them she
had not been allowed back into the venue because of a
"no re-entry" policy. But this was very strange because
there were toilets inside the venue. Yet Morgan had
mysteriously gone outside, for no good reason at all.
Morgan told her friends not to worry and enjoy the
concert without her. She told them she would make her
own way home. Having trust in Morgan, her friends
stayed to enjoy the rest of the concert, unbeknown to the
fact that their friend was in grave danger.
Witnesses later said that they saw Morgan outside the
arena, on her own. She was never spotted with anyone
but her friends throughout the entire night. Which leaves
no explanation as to why she exited the venue. Someone
or something must had made her act so strangely, but
what was it?
She was spotted by a witness hiking along the side of the
road later that night, still on her own. She was not seen
again for several weeks until a farmer several miles from
the venue of the Metallica concert, found the skeletal
remains of a young woman on the outskirts of his
property.
The remains were confirmed to be that of Morgan. There
were signs that her death had been extremely violent and
she had been raped. There was extremely little evidence
to go on and what had led Morgan out of that arena that
night and caused her to end up, dead, at a farm several
miles away, is still a mystery to this day.

2. Elisa Lam
In 2013 at the Cecil Hotel in the notorious Skid Row
neighbourhood in Los Angeles, one of the creepiest and
most unexplainable deaths of the 21st century, took
place.
In the days leading up to February 19th 2013, hotel
guests had been complaining of low water pressure and
oddly-coloured, foul smelling and tasting water. Some
even said the water coming out the taps was black in
colour. When the hotel staff went up to the roof to
investigate the cause, they were shocked to find a body in
the water tank. For a whole 19 days hundreds of guests
at the hotel, were bathing in, brushing their teeth with and
even drinking the water from a tank on the rooftop that
contained the decomposing corpse of a college student.
The body turned out to be that of 21-year-old Canadian
student, Elisa Lam. Lam's death is shrouded in mystery.
19 days before being found dead in the water tank, Lam
had gone missing whilst staying at the hotel. On the day
of her disappearance this disturbing CCTV footage was
released from inside the hotel elevator. The video went
viral on the internet. Lam appears to be hiding from
someone, she starts behaving erratically and at one point
she waves her arms around in an odd fashion, before
finally, disappearing. She was not seen again.
Until 19 days later, when her body was found inside the
water tank on the roof. But apart from the fire escape,
the roof is only accessible via a set of stairs and locked
doors which only hotel employees have the keys and
passcodes to. The doors would set off an alarm if
anyone else tried to open them. Yet Elisa Lam managed
to somehow get through the doors and onto the roof,
without setting the alarm off. Not only that, but she
managed to get inside one of the water tanks which is 2.4
metres tall and has no fixed access, the hotel staff had to
put a ladder up to check inside it. So how on Earth did
Elisa Lam get in there?
Even more bizarrely, Lam also managed to somehow
close the extremely heavy lid on herself, once inside the
tank. Which would be extremely difficult, if not impossible
to do by herself. In fact the water tank was so tightly
sealed that authorities had to drill a hole into it to get her
body out. This has led many people to believe that her
death was suspicious. Which probably goes without
saying, considering it would be nearly impossible for Lam
to end up in that water tank all by herself. But with
insufficient evidence her death was marked as accidental
and to this day nobody truly knows what happened to
Elisa Lam.

3. Laetitia Toureaux
A "locked room mystery" is a unique sub-genre of
murder-mystery fiction, in which a murder takes place in
a seemingly locked room with only one person inside, the
victim. In these stories the murder seems to take place
under impossible circumstances. It's extremely rare that
these so called "locked room mysteries" actual happen in
real life. But one such case did happen, in 1937 in Paris,
to Laetitia Toureaux.
At 6:27pm Laetitia Toureaux boarded a metro train at the
Porte de Charenton. When she got onto the train she was
the only person in the first-class carriage. However, when
the train pulled into the next station, only one minute and
twenty seconds later at 6:28pm, Laetitia Toureaux
slumped forwards in her seat with a dagger in her neck.
She had somehow been stabbed in the neck and killed, in
seemingly impossible circumstances. Witnesses at both
stations swore that they saw no one getting onto or
leaving Toureaux's train compartment at either stop. And
witnesses in both adjacent compartments, said that
nobody had tried to enter the one where Toureaux's body
was found.
Police tried their best to solve the mystery. But even
Paris' best detective's had no idea how Toureaux could
have been stabbed in the neck, in a time span of 1
minute, in a seemingly empty train carriage.
World War II came and Toureaux's case was forgotten
about. Despite crime writers the world over giving it their
best. Nobody has since been able to solve this infamous,
real-life, locked room mystery.

4. Ottavio Bottecchia
Italian man, Ottavio Bottecchia was one of the most
talented cyclists the world has ever seen. In 1924 he
became the first Italian to win the world renowned Tour
de France race. He was also the first person in history to
maintain the lead in the Tour de France all the way from
start, to finish.
But the fame and glory was short-lived for Bottecchia,
because in June 1927, two years after his second Tour de
France victory. Bottecchia was found dead at the side of
the road in the village of Poenis, Italy, just a few miles
from his home.
So what's so strange about this, it just sounds like a
bicycle crash. Well Bottecchia's bike was a few metres
from his body, completely undamaged, with not a single
mark or scratch upon it. No skid marks were found on the
road and there were no signs that he had been forced
from the road or that he was in a collision at all. Yet
Bottecchia's body lay in the road with his skull smashed
in, a snapped collarbone and numerous other broken
bones.
If that wasn't suspicious enough. The authorities came to
the conclusion that he had died of a sun stroke. Skull
smashed in? 20 broken bones? Looks like a bad case of
sunstroke chief! This ridiculous cause of death led many
conspiracy theorists to come to the conclusion that
Bottecchia was killed in a government assassination. For
speaking out against authoritarian prime minister Benito
Mussolini and his murder was covered up by the police.
To this day we still have no further clue as to what
happened to legendary Italian cyclist Ottavio Bottecchia.

5. Who Put Bella in the Witch Elm
Who put Bella in the Witch Elm? That's was the question
on everyone's lips in 1943. It all started on 18th April
1943 when four boys were poaching in the Hagley Woods
near Wychbury Hill in Stourbridge, England.
The boys stumbled across a large Wych elm tree.
Believing it would be a good place to find bird's nests,
one of the boys climbed up the tree. To his horror, when
the boy looked down, inside the tree's hollowed-out trunk
he saw a human skull with hair and teeth.
One of the boys reported it to the police and when they
investigated they found, almost, an entire skeleton inside
the trunk of the Wych elm. They also found a shoe, a gold
wedding ring, some fragments of clothing and a severed
hand which was buried in the ground near the tree.
After forensic examination it was determined that the
body was a female's and she had been dead for at least
18 months. Taffeta was found in her mouth, suggesting
she died from asphyxiation.
But then things got weirder. A year after the body was
discovered strange graffiti started to appear in random
locations in the surrounding area. First on a wall in Upper
Dean Street, Birmingham and then in several more places
over the next few decades, until the last graffito was
sprayed onto the side of a 200 year-old obelisk known as
Wychbury Obelisk, in August 1999. The obelisk is located
on Wychbury Hill, Hagley, near where the body was
found.
Every single one of the graffiti said the exact same thing
"WHO PUT BELLA IN THE WITCH ELM". The identity of
the killer and that of the graffiti artist, were never
discovered.
