How many corpses are hidden in the hidden corner?

A natural disaster exposed many years ago.

The western United States encountered a major drought this year, leading to a sharp decline in the water level of Made Lake, one of the largest reservoirs in the United States. Creepy is that after the lake retreats, people have found a lot of human bones at the bottom of the lake.

According to the United States Cable Television News Network, on May 1, officials found a metal barrel on the shore of the reservoir with a male corpse of thirty or forty years ago, and his head was still with obvious gunshot injury.

A few days later, a pair of sisters from the city of Henderson, the outskirts of Las Vegas, also found a person's bones while rowing on the lake. After receiving the call from the National Park Administration, the remains found these remains.

The water level in the largest reservoir in the United States has plummeted, and there are many hidden corpses on the bottom of the lake

Lake Midd is located at the junction of Arizona and Nevada, more than 40 kilometers from the "Casino" Las Vegas. After the corpse of the lake was discovered, people could not help but think of it with the gangsters of Las Vegas in their early years -the latter has been circulating rumors that abandon the bottom of the lake after killing.

As the water in the lake gradually fades, some hidden secrets may see the sun again.

"Gangster" conjecture

The water source of the Made Lake Reservoir is the Colorado River. Together with the nearby Powell Reservoir, it provides water for 40 million people in 7 states and northern Mexico. However, in the past ten years, due to the great drought caused by climate change, the water level of Made Lake has been declining at an alarming rate. In August 2020, the water of Made Lake reached only about 35%of its capacity. According to CNN, on May 9 this year, the water level of Made Lake was about 321 meters higher than the sea plane, a decrease of about 49 meters from 2000, the lowest level since the 1930s.

It was the water level brought about by this drought that brought the corpse at the bottom of the lake to people's eyes.

On the afternoon of May 7, Lindsey Melvin and Lynette Melvin were rowing on Lake Midd, the water was too shallow, and there was no way to dive. The water level is much lower than ever, and the water is also exposed.

At about 2 o'clock, the sisters found a human remains.

At first, they thought it was the bone of a large corner sheep. It was not until they saw the jawbone and teeth, and they found that it was a human bone. The 30 -year -old Leinet was startled by the scene in front of him.

Link Melvin and Leinet Melvin found a human remains in Lake Midd.

Subsequently, they reported this amazing discovery to the forest guard of the National Park Administration. Forensic doctors in Clark have collected these remains and tried to confirm the person's identity and cause. Police officers at the Metropolitan Police Department of Las Vegas said no signs of murder have been found on the corpse.

In any case, the bottom of the corpse lake will make people feel strange. What's more, this is the second week of the human body in Lake Made.

Earlier on May 1st, a tourist found a bucket hiding a corpse by the lake. Although the corpse was rotten very seriously, a shirt, belt and shoes were sticky on the body. Detectives speculated that his KMART top coat was purchased in the mid -to -late 1970s. Therefore, the death of this corpse may be in the late 1970s or early 1980s.

In addition, there were obvious marks on the head, so the police judged that the man died of gun killing.

Geoff Schumacher, Vice President of the Exhibition and Project of the Las Vegas Gang Museum, pointed out that in the 1970s and 1980s, the gangsters in Las Vegas were prominent issues: from Chicago, Milwauki and Kansas The gangsters in cities such as cities have huge influence around Las Vegas. At that time, many murders occurred in Las Vegas, and many people were missing, and corpses were found in the desert. "If (he) is a victim of gangster violence, I don't think it's surprising." Schumacher said.

Sister Melvin, who grew up in Las Vegas, has also heard about the rumors of hacker killer throwing a corpse in the lake. The exposure of these corpses (especially the buckets discovered on May 1), which made these rumors pass again.

People found barrels equipped with human remains near Lake Made.

Schumacher said that putting the body into a barrel is a common means of gangsters, which can be traced back to the 1880s. These corpses are either buried underground or thrown into the lake.

Chicago's gangster Johnny Rosley is one of the famous examples. He helped gangsters control Hollywood and Las Vegas Avenue. In 1975, Rosley disappeared after the testimony of the US Senate Intelligence Committee suspected of conspiring President John Kennedy.

In 1976, the fishermen discovered him on a coast near Miami. At that time, Roseley was stuffed in a 55 gallon iron barrel, and the body was rotten. The results of the autopsy show that Roseley died of suffocation.

In 1976, a fisherman found a barrel in a bay outside Miami. It was confirmed that the barrel was the body of Johnny Rosselli.

Who is the corpse in the barrel?

After the corpse was discovered, the entire Las Vegas was talking about it. Retired police officer and social media person David Kohlmeier even contributed $ 5,000 to a reward for a diver who found other remains on Lake Midd. People began to guess that if this case is a gangster's handwriting, who is the victim? What did he do "hurting the sky and harm" that made others kill his heart, and even spent so much, was thrown into the bottomless lake? According to the article released by the official website of the gangster museum on June 1, according to the time of the murder, the identity of this corpse may be related to the Argent Corporation: the company has Stardust, HACIENDA, Marina, and FREMONT four In the 1970s, the gangsters secretly transferred the money of these casinos to the criminal family of Chicago, Kansas, Milwauki and Cleveland.

Jey Van Demark disappeared in Phoenix in 1976.

The first person you think of is Jay Vandermark -a slot machine manager in the 1970s. Van Dandack stole 7 million to 15 million US dollars from the slot machine in the Agen Casino. In order to avoid the hunting of Chicago Criminal Group and Nevada Gaming Industry Regulatory Agency, he disappeared in 1976.

Schumacher said: "Van Demak knows a lot about theft. He disappeared at this time and was likely to be attacked by a gang. Because if he was caught by the police, he might expose something."

However, a court testimony in 2007 showed that Van Detmack had been killed in Phoenix and was buried in the nearby desert, but no corpse has been found so far. Schumacher did not believe that the corpse in the barrel was him.

The second possible object is William Crespo. He was a Cocyin drug dealer, and later turned over to be the U.S. government's informed and witnesses. In 1983, he disappeared before he proved a former Agen executive and six other people. It can be imagined that without his testimony, the case was revoked, and the executives and others were released.

Johnny Pappas is a casino employee with gangsters and a former manager of Agen's resort in Made Lake. On the eve of disappearance, he was preparing to sell a boat parked by the lake.

In 1976, he told his wife to see a "unknown person who was interested in his boat", and never returned home. Four days later, his car appeared in a parking lot, but people disappeared. Schumacher believes that among these three, Papas is most likely to be the victims in the barrel.

The water level of the lake is still declining, and people feel that there will be more corpses surfaced -but may not be the victim of the murder. Over the years, there have been too many drowning incidents in the lake, but the body has not been salvaged.

Ideal murderous land

In addition to the bottom of the lake, the forest is also the ideal place for criminals. As early as 1995, the Los Angeles Times published an article to take stock of the corpse found in the Los Angeles national forest in 1,000 square miles in the 1970s and 1990s-the number is not amazing, but it is also shocking: young to 3 The age of Para Valencia, the old James Yang, who is 73 years old. At that time, the police found eight corpses in the forest, which did not include unspecified skeletons; another three corpses were also discovered in 1994. The authorities said how many corpses were left in the forest.

Some victims may always sleep deep in the forest. Even if the corpse is found, it may not be able to identify because it is too rotten.

The destruction of corpses is undoubtedly one of the best means for perfect crimes, and the inaccessible lake and forests are an excellent place for buried secrets -of course, if you can escape the eyes of the law, you don't have to be so "big tuition". Essence

The "death zone" of Huangshi Park is the famous dead corner of the law. The "Sixth Amendment to the United States Constitution" stipulates that in all criminal proceedings, the defendant enjoys the following rights: a fair and open trial of a fair jury in the state and region where the criminal acts occur.

"Death Zone" of Huangshi Park

However, some of the uninhabited Aidhochi in Huangshi Park, and it is even more impossible to set up a jury. Theoretically, the murderer who committed the crime of committing murder will not be able to be rope.

As early as 2005, Brian Carter, a professor of law at Michigan State University, pointed out this vulnerability, but more than ten years have passed, and the government has not done anything.

Until 2021, the disappearance of Gabby Petito, a 22 -year -old net red girl in New York, made people pay attention to this issue again.

In February of this year, Colin Nash, a member of the Democratic Party of Boishiro in Edaho, put forward a measure to ask Congress to change the jurisdiction of the Federal Regional Court of about 50 square miles to the Yellowstone Park in the Yellowstone Park. right. The local "justice" was finally on the agenda.

The security issues in the United States have always been criticized. In 2020, the murder rate in the United States soared nearly 30%, reaching the highest record in the country's modern history. In 2021, the killing rate rose by 5%again. Murder seems to be a "characteristic" issue in the United States.

At the same time, according to the 2015 National Public Broadcasting Station, 1/3 of the murder in the United States was unreasonable. Criminals estimate that since the 1960s, at least 200,000 murder cases have not yet fallen. Obviously, the ability of the US police to detect the case is far from keeping the speed of the country's manufacturing case.

So, should we ask a question: In the face of all kinds of endless murders, is the US judicial system really prepared?
