The Rat From Rostov: Andrei Chiklatilo
UI remember when I was a kid and a few of us would occasionally ask questions such as, "if you were standing on one of the glaciers right at the end of Alaska, would you be able to see any of the land belonging to Russia?" Obviously, being American, none of us really wanted to go to Russia, but we all thought it was a unique place. There are a lot of good things about Russia, but Andrei Chiklatilo A.K.A.

10 Interesting Unsolved Cases
1. The Beaumont Children The disappearance of the Beaumont children is one of Australia's biggest unsolved mysteries. On 26 January 1966, Australia was celebrating Australia Day. The Beaumont children (Jane, 9, Arnna, 7 and Grant, 4) asked to go to Glenelg Beach in Adelaide. It was too hot to walk, so their mother gave them some money to catch the short bus ride there and back. They left around 8:45am and were expected to be home by noon, however by 3pm they still weren't home. Their father, Jim, immediately drove to the crowded beach when he got home early, but the children were nowhere to be seen. By 5:30pm the three children were still missing and Jim, with his wife Nancy, went to the police station to report the children missing.

What Happened To 14- Year-old George Owen Smith?
When her brother Owen(is what his family called him) was arrested for car theft, Owen's sister never thought that was something he would do. She knew him pretty well. They were quite close since only a couple of years apart. She never believed the car theft story from day one. The most he had done wrong is ran away a few times. His dream was to play at the Grand Ole Opry. That is where he was headed when they claimed he had gotten arrested for car theft.
