The Bennington Triangle’s biggest and longest-running mystery is the disappearances that raged in the area from 1945 to 1950. A newspaper reported the disappearance of the Bennington Triangle. (Photo: Internet) First up is a 75-year-old man named Middie Rivers, a tour guide. Rivers led a group of climbers back to their camp in November 1945. In a moment Rivers overtook the group, just enough to get out of sight, he disappeared completely with the winds of Glastenbury. Paula Welden, an 18-year-old college student, decided to explore Glastenbury on his own in 1946. Welden’s journey began with warnings from the locals, that with only a thin red coat, Beware of this mountain’s unusual weather. Welden 1 day later was reported missing. Although Paula’s red coat was easily identifiable, every attempt to find the whereabouts of the freshman girl was fruitless. 18-year-old schoolgirl Paula Welden – one of the missing victims.

When she returned later, she was unable to find her baby. A great search took place, but the boy was still silent. In 1949, three hunters went missing in the mountains. That same year, veteran James Tetford is believed to have disappeared from a crowded bus on Albans Road. Fourteen passengers testified that Tetford was falling asleep and then suddenly disappeared when the bus reached the terminal. A lengthy investigation has been organized, but the whereabouts of the man remains a mystery. The bus where Tedford had mysteriously disappeared. (Photo: Coolinterestingstuff) The year 1950 was the case with Frieda Lander. Lander’s clothes got wet during the hike with her friends and she decided to go back to the camp alone to change. Since then, no one has seen Lander anymore. Police, firefighters, the army and hundreds of volunteers, all rummaged through Glastenbury but it was not until May 1951 that Lander’s body was found. The above events are just six widely known unexplained disappearances among the other mysteries in the Bennington Triangle. (Photo: Internet) The unexplained facts associated with the Bennington Triangle have led many to speculate crazy. The story becomes even more thrilling with rumors of UFOs and giant Bigfoot in the area. The pattern of the disappearances led some to assume that there was a serial killer at Glastenbury. However, the lack of evidence and the diversity of the age and sex of the victim (excluding the common types of serial killers) reject this hypothesis. (Photo: Internet) Without a solid basis for the existence of a serial killer, the next interesting theories regarding a supernatural phenomenon such as a cursed rock that swallows strangers come close into the ravine. . These disappearances coupled with strange lights, sounds and odors led to conspiracy theories about the UFO’s arrival. People try to chain the disappearances together in hopes of finding explanations for the mysteries. The only similarity between these cases is that it happens in the Bennington Triangle. The time of day the victim was last seen is between 3 and 4 pm and is mostly in the last three months of the year. (Photo: Internet) Of all the research that has been done to uncover the mystery of the Bennington Triangle, a number of scientifically based answers have been provided. They still have some meaning, even if not completely satisfactory. One explanation is hypothermia. Temperatures in the mountains can drop very low, especially in winter – a time when the majority of mysterious disappearances occur. With hypothermia, humans tend to dig holes on their own – this is a survival behavior that causes one to find somewhere small and stay away from the crowd. It keeps the wind out and can keep the body warm enough, slowing the frostbite process, but often ends up dying and making the person harder to find. Another interpretation concerns the history of the area – a mining town. The mountain slopes are dotted with unmarked mines that can put hikers at risk. Both of these ways can explain why missing people are never found. (Photo: Internet) However, many people still believe that the above argument is not strong. Perhaps the most practical answer is that not all of the disappearances are the same way. Some may have met the killer, while others dug holes or fell. But if so, why did the disappearances last for only five years and stop so suddenly? To this day, the Bennington Triangle is still the topic of discussion for those who love mysterious stories. And the answer to the events surrounding this land remains a mystery.

For a few days, the incident became the town’s gossip. However, police have struggled to identify the person who died from the burns that were so severe. Public interest gradually faded. The woman’s name seems to be forever unknown.

In China’s megacities, large numbers of unclaimed corpses have become a pressing problem. Although country figures are not available, the total is at least in the tens of thousands. Urban morgues, funeral homes and hospitals complain that they have been stretched to full capacity.

But Truong Dai Dung could not let the incident sink. The intelligent man who once dreamed of becoming a scientist was unable to fulfill his dream of suffering from ankylosing spondylitis, a form of weakness of the spine.

According to Truong, he could not move without much pain. Zhang had to lie in bed, “detained in a home prison”. His thoughts often returned to the mysterious corpse, wondering where the woman had come from.

Then one day, Truong discovered an advertisement in a local newspaper. Post by a man searching for his missing wife, last seen wearing a red coat. Zhang contacted the man and the Luoyang police later confirmed that the body was in fact his wife.

Truong found his god.

Truong looks for information on the internet

The 57-year-old has since spent decades identifying the unidentified corpses languishing in the city’s morgues.

From his bedroom in Luoyang, Zhang built a website called an anonymous dead database, containing records of more than 3,300 corpses.

The 57-year-old has since spent decades identifying the unidentified corpses languishing in the city’s morgues.

For several hours each week, Zhang peered into the archive of press archives, police notices and public documents to update the website, moving himself around with the help of a metal ring hanging from the ceiling. Bedroom. He runs the project entirely by himself and receives little remuneration for the work.

But Truong says the website gives meaning to his life. Although he rarely hears from users, he knows the hundreds of people who regularly check the database, flipping from page to page on the list.

“I am part of a disadvantaged group,” Truong told reporters. Finding even more disadvantaged people, that at least gives me consolation. ”

However, there are many more families that Truong is helpless to help.

In China’s megacities, large numbers of unclaimed corpses have become a pressing problem. Although country figures are not available, the total is at least in the tens of thousands. Urban morgues, funeral homes and hospitals complain that they have been stretched to full capacity.

The problem is partly the result of massive internal exodus that China has experienced in recent decades. Many of the unidentified deaths are believed to be wanderers or unregistered migrants, who flooded the cities during China’s economic boom. While some died from violence, others drowned, had an accident or died in hospital.

China’s lack of a consistent system for identifying the dead and handling anonymous corpses has exacerbated the problem. Across the country, a large number of anonymous cadavers remain unresolved, and bodies are left long ago in refrigerating equipment.

China does not have a national database equivalent to the national system of missing and unidentified Americans. According to the China Newsweek, a state-run magazine, China’s Ministry of Public Security maintains internal records of missing persons and unidentified death records, but they are not linked together and cross-checking is difficult. . These records are also not accessible to the public.

When it comes to identifying victims, even the Chinese police often feel helpless – especially those in underdeveloped areas. Although forensic technology has improved significantly in recent years, the results of an investigation ultimately depend on the records investigators have access to.

Winsome Lee, a forensic anthropologist based in Hong Kong, said: “We will do a lot of analysis and modeling, but ultimately it depends on having a relative providing clues or DNA to we match or not. Our role is really limited. ”

Tian Chen, a policeman from Xining, Qinghai Province, northwest China, recalls an unsolved case he handled last year. When a male body was found in the village, Dien’s team was assigned to identify the deceased.

Officers collected samples, conducted DNA analysis, and searched Thanh Hai province records of dead bodies and unidentified people. They also posted missing person notices on China’s WeChat social app and on local media. But these things did not yield any results.

“We can only test big data within Thanh Hai province,” Dien said.

After three months of fruitless work, the group was forced to close the file and cremate the body, as the local funeral home refused to keep it. “The funeral homes here are full of corpses,” Dien said.

These problems are not unique to Tay Ninh. In cities across China, unclaimed and unidentified bodies are filling morgue and funeral homes, while authorities are arguing over how to handle them.

Vu Tu Hai, in charge of social affairs at the Luoyang Interior Bureau, said unclaimed corpses consume about 15% of the city’s funeral home capacity. Some of the bodies were there for a decade and forgotten by the police.

Vu said: “The police only sent the body there, then no one bothered to follow it.”
