What’s a mystery you’d love to see solved in your lifetime?

G'day, legends! How are you doing today?

Let’s get into something a little thought-provoking today. I’ve been watching a few fascinating documentaries recently, and it got me wondering—what’s a mystery you’d love to see solved in your lifetime?

Personally, I'd love to know what really happened with the Beaumont siblings. It has been 59 years since their sudden disappearance, and according to the police, the likelihood of it being solved gets lesser every year.

What about you, members? It could be something personal that’s always left you curious, or maybe a big unsolved case that’s made headlines. Share your thoughts below—I’m keen to hear from you!
 
I have two
First The Bermuda Triangle, a section of the North Atlantic Ocean off North America in which more than 20 planes and 50 ships and are said to have mysteriously disappeared and no trace has been found.

A couple of rumours are that they disappeared into another dimension as well as that they were hijacked and used as slaves and experiments

The second one The unsolved mystery of Prime Minister Harold Holt who disappeared when he went for a swim one day. Technically it is unsolved, since his body has never been recovered.
Many scenarios with this one, including kidnapping and own choice of disappearance

The mysterious disappearance of Harold Holt. On the afternoon of 17 December 1967, Prime Minister Harold Holt entered the surf at Cheviot Beach in Victoria. He was never seen again.

It is generally agreed that Holt's disappearance was a simple case of an accidental drowning, but a number of conspiracy theories surfaced, most famously the suggestion that he was a spy for China and had been collected by a Chinese submarine.

Hi good morning Miranda and the girls from “ Picnic at hanging rock “ watched 3 different versions and no valid reason yet ?
I always thought this was an unsolved mystery. I was intrigued watching this but apparently it was only a story that the author had a dream about.

Lindsay's editors maintained that the story was purely fictional. As the years went on, Lindsay herself finally said it was based on a dream she had and that it was intended to be a mystery. Nevertheless, there are clues that make people believe Picnic At Hanging Rock really happened.


Joan Lindsay's original novel is presented as a pseudo-historical story (so convincing to some, that they thought it was based on a true story) of the disappearance of four young students and a teacher from a prestigious girl's boarding school, while on an excursion to Victoria's Hanging Rock on Valentine's Day in 1900 ...

It was never a story of murder or abduction but an attempt to make explicit her own feelings and theories about the mutability of time and parallel dimensions.

What a great story to be able to make people actually think it was real
 
Here I’m guilty as charged I even visited a couple of times as I became an engrossing tale of intrigue, I do thank you for that rather lovely clarification and such a good piece of imagination to adapt to putting pure belief into the mind,I did feel quite surreal though following in some of those footsteps created

There seems to be quite a controversy about this movie.lf it is fiction they should make a sequel and conclusion. Gheoghe Zamfir ''Lonely Shepherd'' included.Such a lovely haunting piece of music

No doubt the parents of the Beaumont children and Madeleine McCann would feel guilty and shame for leaving them on their own at such a young age. There is always paedophilia lurking around. I realise we can't be helicopter parents, but common sense does prevail.
These poor parents have to live with this for rest of their lives and must feel an agonising pain everyday. Anyone can be wise after the event.
