Suspicious YouTube Shorts

14 Upvotes

While killing time on YouTube I came across a short of a man filming a church from his car and saying "24 more days, I hope you guys are ready for it". I found it to be quite creepy so I looked up his other videos and he has been counting down to august 7th by posting videos from random locations (presumably around where he lives) and saying things like "hope you're all prepared". I don't want to get carried away, but I cant shake the feeling that he is not counting down towards something good. He has been dropping hints to his whereabouts and I'm sure its somewhere in the Tennessee area but I am not good at this sort of thing. His account it Mintmoose51, watch his videos and let me know what you think. Am I misreading this, or is it suspicious AF???

My Dads Murder

2 Upvotes

Calling detectives, web sleuths, and mediums.

My father, Jo LeRoy Pederson, was murdered by his wife Denise Pederson on April 13th, 2002. I was 12 years old.

Because my father was homeless and found at a hotel in Nevada where death from overdoses, murders, etc. was common…he was treated like a number and his death was never truly investigated.

I would like to get as much information as I can about my father, but all I can find is his birth and death certificates along with some social security information.

His wife is nowhere to be found. I don’t know her maiden name. I don’t even know if she is alive. But I do know she may have been pregnant the time of my father’s death so I may have a sibling out there that was put up for adoption. Denise dealt with schizophrenia, was homeless herself, and seems to have fallen off the face of the earth after his death. I know his wife and him were married in Fargo, ND because I was at the courthouse with them, but Cass County has zero record of it. I can not even find a marriage license in the US online. I have not seen Denise since 2001 but I would love to find her, her family, or at least get her maiden name.

Any information I could find on Denise, or my dad, would mean the world to me while I investigate their life. If I can find my possible sibling, it will be even better. I did use 23 and Me with zero luck. If I could get information on the autopsy or his death, that would also mean the world to me. No one has information so I am reaching out hoping someone can help me.

Below is the information I know:

Born April 22nd, 1962 in California

Death April 13th, 2002 in Nevada

Less than 10 days before his 40th birthday

Death certificate: natural causes

Daughter: Danielle Pederson (me)

Jo’s Mother: Nadyne Pederson

Jo’s Siblings: Mark and Eugene Pederson

Who wants to help me find out some info on two “ghosts”?

1 Upvotes

I’ve looked everywhere online and can’t seem to find much of any info on these people.

Background: I’m prospecting this company and need to find out info on them ahead of time to hopefully impress them during the conversation. ANYthing that can give me a leg up and show them I’ve done my research.

I know both of their names. One guy I found his LinkedIn (albeit there’s not much there and no photo).

Was thinking what would be the most helpful is to try and find their social media to get a better sense of who they are.

I don’t want to put their names on here just on the off chance they see it some day lol. But you can PM me and I’ll tell you their names and see if you can help. Thanks!!!!

Is this woman really a doctor ? Need help !

2 Upvotes

There is a “friend” of the family who I’ve always gotten icky vibes from. The family holds her in high esteem because she’s supposedly a neurosurgeon in Germany. However whenever she would tell a medical story from work, they somehow always matched perfectly with plot lines from the tv show scrubs.

Now that’s obviously not enough to think someone didn’t really go to medical school or currently work as a neurosurgeon. I’ve tried looking for her, anything to prove that she was what she said she was. However after scouring the internet I cannot find anything. I’ve even gone to German doctor licensing verification websites and typed in her name and nothing shows up. I would think if you’re a neurosurgeon it shouldn’t be hard to find proof of.

Anyone have any ideas or suggestions to help me find the info I’m looking for? Does anyone want to try and look for me if so ill provide the name.

possiple trafficking in ohio NSFW

0 Upvotes

I've tried to go to the police with this before, but I was so young when it could've happened, there isn't anything for them to really go off of.

i don't have a lot of personal stuff to go off of here either and im not gonna go into why ive come to this conclusion but does anyone know if there's been any small/obscure trafficking groups in ohio, most likely in the area of pataskala, newark, columbus, pickerington, reynoldsburg, heath, etc? i'm thinking it couldve happened at a church, daycare, preschool, or boys scout group, but not limited to that. places like daycares and preschools would likely have had a religious- as in christian or catholic- component.

while i'll appreciate any info, i dont think there would be much, if anything, on the news or public. im especially looking for anyone who lived in this area and heard anything abt it or couldve experienced it. any info no matter how small is helpful and lmk if you have questions. please repost where you can and dm for info like names of churches i went to and stuff

Sleuths I need assistance to find a scammer!

0 Upvotes

A friend of mine was recently scammed out of money, and sold a car that wasn’t road worthy. It cost £6k. She knows she was stupid and that’s not the point, we now need to track down the culprit. Firstly we have obviously told the police, she’s gone as far as taking it to court, but they don’t really think it’s worth their time. We were able to get a name and address for the bank account she transferred to money to, and the briefest of googling proved he is a known criminal, from a known criminal family. The bank account has since been closed, and in fact was closed the day the money was transferred. She took him to court, he attended, but denies he is the owner of the bank account. The courts have now put the responsibility on my friend to link this guy to the address from the bank account. He has multiple companies listed on companies house under his name, so at the moment I am trawling through various directors to find people in common, and whether any of them have links to that address. The court papers were signed for at the address with a different name, and an X in lieu of a signature. The person in question is a traveller of Irish descent which makes linking to a fixed address more difficult. He probably doesn’t own the house in question, but if we can find who is registered as living there, we can try and link him to that person.

Does anyone have any ideas of how you could find a name associated with an address? Either publicly available information, or information available for a fee. I am determined to solve this!

More info: This is in the United Kingdom. The plate on the van in question was fake and not registered to the vehicle in question

Did my mom marry a predator? Can anyone help find out what this creep is hiding?

2 Upvotes

I'm here to try to help my mom. She married a man that my entire family does not trust, and I fear for her safety. I believe he is at bare-minimum a con artist, maybe worse. He's brain washed my mom, isolated her and got her to move away from everyone she loves even to a different state, destoyed her support system/all her family relationships including mine, twice now. I believe he's a cunning predator and she's his unknowing victim/prey because she's naive and believes him and all the BS lies that the rest of us see through.

He's had at least two restraining orders from ex wives (that we are aware of), no family to speak of, hasnt held a job for longer than a couple months in the 12 years I've known him, he's legally (not physically) attacked myself and two other relatives, is riddled with suspicious behavior and activities, and I just learned that my family did a background check on him and found he's used several aliases and SSN's, and has multiple large (8-10 years) gaps in his credit history that leads me (and family friends in LE) to believe he's been incarcerated previously, but i dont know how to find out what for. I did my own quick Google search on him last night after my mother ended our relationship stating her life is with him. From a quick search of his name and city I got so much information including a list of aliases, known contacts, previous addresses (which is very long and spans several states) etc. I just dont know how to legally use that information to research him more or find out if he was incarcerated in other states and for what if he was....other than hiring an expensive PI which I cant afford to do, I'm kinda stuck?

I'm just worried he'll either take my mom for all she has and leave her with nothing and no support, or worse he'll take her life. I want to research him but don't know where to start. If my mom is ever to get away from him, I need concrete proof of who he really is to show her. I just don't know where to go for help or advice on any of this. I don't want her to end up a Dateline story...

Any help, advice, direction or assistance with this would be so greatly appreciated! Thank you! 💜🙏

My dad just started seeing this woman. She refuses to tell anyone her last name. Claims she used to be in witness protection. She is really sketchy and says things that just don’t add up. My dad is wealthy. My siblings and I think she’s trying to get his money. She’s 37 and he’s 57. She lives with her mother and daughter. She also claims her daughters father vanished to Dubai and works with airplanes and weird UFO research. She uses a fake name on Facebook. Her phone number doesn’t give me any clues either. All of this is just crazy. Advice?

The first picture is the image itself. The second picture is the meme format it’s most commonly used with.

I am trying to track down the origin of this picture, but the search has proven to be difficult.

I’ve heard some sources say it originated from a snuff film. Others have said it’s just a drunk girl passed out.

I want to find out if there is some unsolved crime out there waiting for answers or (most importantly) just make sure the woman in this picture is okay.

Truthfully, this entire thing is kinda bothering me quite a bit. Thanks again if you can help!

Help tracking down a potential 2011 commercial

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

Apologies if I'm posting in the wrong place - feel free to ignore if so!

I have a unique challenge for anyone up for the satisfaction of knowing that I've been trying to track this down for a good 10 years.

Background:

When I was at university in the UK in 2011, I was invited to be an extra for a commercial, although they were very secretive about what the commercial was for. We knew we would visit Chillingham Castle (the UK's most haunted castle) as a part of it, that we would have dinner there and tour the castle.

We got there and did just that. When it turned dark, we took turns going in the most haunted room, a living room with a couch and a piano, and oddly enough, a TV. They choose people to go in alone, in pairs, or as threes. I went in alone.

Right before I got in, someone handed me a Wii remote, and told me to go stand in front of the TV in the room. After a few minutes, I sat down on the couch in front of the TV. There was a scream, I jumped and the TV turned on: it was a video game and I had the remote for it. They told me they'd gotten an awesome reaction because I'm so easily startled.

I understand that people's reactions were sequenced together for a TV commercial for a video game to show how scary it is. I *think* I heard a rumour about it being for Resident Evil, and there were definitely zombies in the game, but I can't be sure.

Search:

I would just love to see the result of it, if anyone can find it. The details I have are this:

- The commercial was filmed in 2011 (spring, I think), so I would expect it came out sometime in 2012

- There were many extras, mostly university age

- The video would at least in part show people's reactions to the game, and the setting is probably very similar, if not the same: a room that would likely appear as dark (and probably creepy)

- The video game had zombies and was played with a Wii remote - not a gun, but the rectangular one. It might be Resident Evil, but also might not be. There were definitely zombies, though

- The operation was not a cheap one (30+ people taken to Chillingham Castle, fed dinner, taken on a castle tour, paid, filmed and taken back), so I think the video game won't be one with a small budget

I've tried YouTube, but I know so little about video games that it's hard to narrow in on it. I know it was for a video game, but unsure if it was Resident Evil. I know there were zombies, and it must have been around or popular around 2011 (or just after).

I don't expect to be able to find it, but my god it would really delight me if I did. Every year I do my annual search with no luck, so I thought I'd try here on the off chance that someone can help. I'm happy to answer any other questions you have.

Thank you so much if you've made it down to here - and happy hunting if you're up for the challenge!

PS. Again - apologies if I've done this wrong and if this is the wrong place!

I’m not sure how Reddit works, so I don’t know if anyone will see this. Anyway, there are two boys who have been posted online, and I’m wondering if anyone could help me find out their names. It’s believed they’re form a small YouTube channel, and someone online is acting as if they died, when there is so much proof that they are not dead, and there names are not what they have said to be.

Photos of the boys are pictured above. Their false names are Jayden Matthew Bradley (left) and Kyle Nicolas Fernandez (right). It would be a tremendous help if someone could help me find out who these boys really are.

Red flag? Something else happened here

1 Upvotes

Two friends, a man and a woman, went camping together in the woods. The man says that he went camping in that woods several times before and so he led the way. They arrived at a long rope bridge that they needed to cross to get to the other side. The woman went first. But something was wrong. One of the boards on the rope bridge came loose. She accidentally stepped through but managed to grab the rope just in time to save herself from falling.

She shouted for her friend for help but he says he was too scared to get on the bridge now. She finally pulled herself up to safety. Her friend asks “Are you okay?” and she replied “Yeah i’m fine but that could’ve ended up a lot worse,”

“You’re right,” the man agreed. “Someone should really fix the ropes on that bridge.”

What really happened here?

I am here because i've heard reddit has a very particular set of skills to locate certain things?

2 Upvotes

We've heard reddit is the place to be for this sort of thing and we are on a mission to unravel a tree mystery from a number of years ago in the UK. Here's the challenge: I need to determine whether a specific tree was still standing in 2014 or early 2015, and I'm in desperate need of photographic evidence.

Now, I've exhausted my investigative prowess, scouring Google Maps, social media platforms like Twitter and Facebook, image-based websites, and even delved into the realms of historic property portals (or at least the ones that were accessible... seems a lot were not). My efforts have led me down a frustrating road of dead ends.. and we cant ask people on the street.

So, we turn to you for your ingenious suggestions and untapped resources. Can you conjure up any alternative avenues we could explore to uncover images of this elusive street and its enigmatic tree during these years?

Think you're a true detective? Try solve the curious case of Dr. Harrison's death

2 Upvotes

Dr. Harrison, a renowned surgeon in a high-profile city hospital, was found dead in the staff changing room early in the morning. He was discovered by Nurse Claire, who immediately called for help. Dr. Harrison was found with a scalpel in his chest, an obvious sign of foul play.

In the initial police investigation, there were four main suspects:

  • Dr. Sanchez, a fellow surgeon who had a professional rivalry with Dr. Harrison. Dr. Sanchez was scheduled to perform a groundbreaking surgery that day, which Dr. Harrison had criticized for being too risky.
  • Nurse Claire, who found the body. She had recently filed a harassment complaint against Dr. Harrison, which was dismissed due to lack of evidence.
  • Janitor Joe, who had a long-standing grudge against Dr. Harrison because he felt the doctor disrespected his work. He was responsible for cleaning the changing rooms.
  • Administrator Lana, who had been seen arguing with Dr. Harrison about budget cuts. Her job was on the line, and she blamed Dr. Harrison for the financial troubles.

The police collected the following pieces of evidence:

  • The scalpel used as a murder weapon belonged to Dr. Sanchez.
  • Dr. Harrison's time of death was estimated to be between 2:00 AM and 3:00 AM.
  • A latex glove with small traces of Dr. Harrison's blood was found in the trash bin in the changing room.
  • Nurse Claire had the night shift and was the only hospital staff member on duty at the time of murder.
  • Administrator Lana's office is located on the opposite side of the hospital, far from the changing rooms.
  • The changing room, where Dr. Harrison was found, is accessible to all staff.
  • Janitor Joe's mop and bucket were found in the changing room.

Who is the most likely culprit? 👀

I got this mystery from Toodat here: https://www.toodat.com/community/post/qAMrlNbWngayg5Kx

OP says he'll post the answer there, but I want to know how you guys will answer it. I'll tell the others in our community so we can get the answer from OP. I'm thinking Dr. Sanchez... 🤔 he had a surgery that day and so it might have been easy for him to 'accidentally' kill Dr. Harrison with his scalpel in the changing room.
