Glyndwr Michael - The Corpse Used For Operation Mincemeat.
Operation Mincemeat was a British subterfuge operation in WWII whereby the body of a dead homeless man was dressed as an officer of the Royal Marines, had false intelligence papers placed inside the briefcase handcuffed to his wrist and the body was then placed offshore of Huelva, Spain by a Royal Navy submarine.
The body was retrieved by fishermen and turned over to authorities that were sympathetic to the German authorities. The papers were surreptitiously examined and replaced and details of a false operation to invade Greece and Sardinia rather than the true invasion of Sicily were passed to German officials.
The Germans removed troops from Sicily to Greece and Sardinia, allowing the Allies a straightforward invasion with minimal casualties.

Ancient Romans used to use both human and animal urine as mouthwash in order to whiten their teeth. Urine contains ammonia, a compound of nitrogen and hydrogen, that is capable of acting as a cleansing agent. So despite it being grim, it did work.

In 2007, cameras caught 24-year-old Kyle Fleischmann walking on College Street towards 6th Street near Fuel Pizza in Charlotte, NC. That was the last time anyone saw him. An investigation using tracking dogs showed that he may have ended up in a park but he has never been found and what happened to him remains a mystery.

On October 16, 2022, a harrowing event unfolded when 42-year-old Young Sook An was assaulted by her estranged husband, Chae, who then subjected her to a horrifying ordeal by burying her alive.
This incident occurred amidst a tumultuous divorce, with An having previously filed a domestic violence protective order against Chae.
During a heated argument on that fateful day, Chae launched an attack on An. He proceeded to restrain and silence her with duct tape before transporting her to a wooded area, where he buried her alive in a shallow grave.
After several harrowing hours, An managed to escape from the grave and sought refuge at a stranger's house in the early hours of the following morning.
Chae was apprehended on the same day and faced multiple charges.

On September 20, 1988, Tara Calico vanished without a trace. The 19-year-old left her New Mexico home for her usual daily bike ride and never returned. In a somewhat eerie twist of fate, just before departing, she playfully told her mother to come looking for her if she didn't return.
Shockingly, to this day, Tara Calico has never been located. However, in June 1989, an enigmatic Polaroid photograph surfaced in a Florida parking lot, a staggering 1,500 miles away from where Calico disappeared.
Although unverified, the image seems to depict Tara based on matching scars and the presence of a dog-eared paperback next to her. In the photograph, both Tara and a young boy appear bound, gagged, and visibly terrified, adding a layer of mystery to her disappearance.
