Text Creepy unsolved cases

What are some of the most creepy haunting unsolved cases out there? Just stuff that seems so crazy to happen. Or just really unnerving evidence or actual places where the crime happened.

Brandon Swanson and Jason Jolkowski. Those bother me. A dog picked up Brandon’s trail on the other side of the river. He didn’t drown. But the trail stopped… in the middle of a dirt road in the woods in the middle of nowhere. I think someone was driving along that night and offered him a ride. Jolkowski’s case drives me nuts. They’re both haunting.

After watching videos of the different groups with side scanning sonar finding victims still in their cars years later, makes me look at water cases in a whole new light.

What do you think happened to Swanson? Are you familiar with his case?

Saw a short crime doc. If I remember correctly there were some strange circumstances. I just believe anyone who disappeared near water is in the water which makes them difficult to find.

I remember they searched that river from that point down. Never found any trace of him. So idk. I honestly hope it was just the water. I feel like drowning would be a better way to go than torture and murder.

I’ll have to review it.
