The remains that were found were above Niagara Falls. For the boys to get there, they'd have to drive an overloaded 12-foot boat about 38 miles across Lake Ontario at night, and then go another 7 miles up the navigable part of the lower Niagara River, and then get out and walk another 8 miles...

His income was in a currency called "bitcoins", which is basically internet funny money, not controlled by any government. And right now all of his bitcoins have been siezed. Here's a quick explanation about bitcoins: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-24381847 He might have converted...

He did pay $80,000 to have someone else tortured and killed, but it was a sting by the police. The evidence was faked. No one was actually killed. http://nation.time.com/2013/10/03/alleged-black-market-operator-indicted-in-new-murder-for-hire-scheme/

Ok, there's a very good chance they've arrested the guy... http://www.whptv.com/mostpopular/story/Megans-Law-offender-arrested-Friday-in-Lancaster/447wpRASpk24K51j2qsKJQ.cspx Street view shows the maroon Impala in his driveway, his house is just about 5 miles from where the girl was kidnapped.

Here's a Transportation Safety Board page with information, and there is a photo of the locomotives there: http://www.tsb.gc.ca/eng/enquetes-investigations/rail/2013/R13D0054/R13D0054.asp Link to their front page: http://www.tsb.gc.ca/eng/index.asp

There's finally an official statement about where the locomotives ended up. Apparently the complete train rolled down the hill into the town. The locomotives were in the front and somehow stayed on the rails and continued on. But, of course, the other cars tipped over and detached in the middle...

Here's a cellphone video from when the train was parked (and on fire) about 7 miles away from the town. And then at some point after this, the train started rolling downhill towards the town...

Here's a photo of the train when it was parked several miles away from the town. A passerby noticed the train was on fire, but before any help could arrive, somehow the brakes were released (possibly the brake hoses burned through) and the train started rolling (the engines were running). And...

I'm just guessing (because there is no trail map) but I think the book is describing a longer hike that goes up on the plateau to Runtun and then winds around the back side and then back to Banos. But Mr. Reiger describes the up & down trails as being visible from the town, so my guess is...

There was a big search with police, firefighters, 60 members of the military, search dogs, helicopters... if he was anywhere near the trail I think they would have found him. So I don't think the little brother had anything to do with it...

What if August got to the top and then kept right on going, on the downhill trail back to the town? And then when he was back at the town level, ran into some random street crime situation there? Such as getting mugged and ending up in an alley or back room of a store? In the news articles...

Thank you! I finally found a photo of the road, this is from the hotel at the top, looking north-east. So it is a real road. And there are so many houses around, it's not wilderness, I don't see how anyone could get lost up there. It's a real mystery. Original photo page...

The trail on the 3-hour hike is visible to the town. But when you get to the top point of the hike, there is a big plateau up there, with small farm fields, a village called Runtun, a restaurant "Cafe del Cielo", a luxury hotel "Luna Runtun", and a road leading down to the next valley. So if you...

Here's an update that says the deaths might not be linked. http://abcnews.go.com/Health/alabama-mystery-illness-coincidence/story?id=19236893 The patients' ages range from their mid-20s to their late 80s, Dr. Mary McIntyre, who is leading the investigation, told ABCNews.com in an email...

There's a comment on another forum where someone mentions an unsolved murder "in Ashland a couple years ago", where the suspect may be a transient with a sword or hatchet... I looked it up and found a thread here about it, and it's possible there may be a connection...

This article has a photo of the head from last year, when it was quietly resting in the woods, about 25 miles upriver. http://www.recordonline.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20130427/NEWS/304270343 So the most likely explanation is that it was dumped in the woods several years ago, and then...

Here's a nice story about a girl in California who made the best science project ever, sending Hello Kitty way way up to space, 17 miles up! At that altitude, the balloon burst (as expected), then the parachute worked perfectly, and Hello Kitty landed safely, 47 miles away from the launch site...

There is a good article here, with a lot of recent photos. http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/ohio-amish-cut-beards-foes-face-sentencing-article-1.1258799 However, the grandson (age 19) of the convicted ringleader seems to have an attitude problem, he's upset that he's stuck there to...
