Frozen Fritz, Iceman, Oetzi the Iceman or just Oetzi (so called after the Oetztal Alps, the place Fritz was found), whatever his name is, the ‘findings’ surrounding the mummy Fritz are occasionally so bizarre that I am always reminded of the wise sentence of Orson Welles: “Many would never speak with a full mouth, but do it with an empty head.”
If they had found common objects next to the mummy, one would have given little thought to the death of the man from the ice. But when bow and arrow appear, myths and legends are automatically generated.
Moreover, they do not find an end to the wild speculations about Fritz, who walked around in the border region between North- and South Tyrol some 5000 years ago.
His well-preserved mummy was discovered on September 19, 1991, by the German couple and mountain hikers Erika and Helmut Simon.
Four days later, on September 23, 1991, his body was retrieved. When it came to light that this was a scientific world sensation, many other people appeared on the scene. All claimed to have found him first and wanted to become part of world history as first discoverers.
Two of those who have forwarded such a claim, had been a woman from Slovenia and another one from Switzerland. They wanted to make people believe that they had discovered a dead body and left it lie around, without ever breathing a word about it, and only after the entire matter proved to be a scientific sensation did they come up with their story.
The court of Bolzano, South Tyrol, found this completely implausible and awarded the first discovery to the German couple.
The Slovenian-Swiss Alpine girls had actually been very lucky. Fritz was found in such a good condition that they could have been sued for non-...

...the front, not taken the prey? Was he, or were they, also from his own tribe or was it the same murderer, at first the arrow and then the final blow with the club?
As the theories became contradictory, the scientists have brought forward the – non-fatal – attack with the club by 24 hours and protected their story about a deadly arrow shot from behind. They ‘determined’ that Fritz stood upright and was looking in the direction of South Tyrol. He did not turn around to North Tyrol when he was hit, which would have been a likely reaction, after an injury of the shoulder by an arrow, coming from that direction. He must have been still alive, if the club was used 24 hours before – and the arrow shot was certainly not causing an immediate death.
Once more, they have been at their wit’s end. No traces of blood had been found that could be associated with a fight.
One anthropologist stated that the evidence supported the theory that the skeletal remains belonged to potential victim #1. Therefore, the prosecution argued that the skeletal remains were that of Robert Rutherford, who went missing four years ago. It is known that the victim and the defendant had some misunderstandings about the hunting area and fought to hunt certain places in the area. On the other hand, another anthropologist stated the opposite and the defense argued that the skeletal remains did not belong to Robert Rutherford, but instead were that of Stephen Morton, who hunted in the area and went missing two years prior to Robert Rutherford. Stephen Morton had no known connections to the defendant, therefore concluding him innocent in the defense’s mind. There are some various similarities found in the case that could point in either the defense or prosecution, therefore the case needs to be revaluated for a third opinion.
A young couple, Joseph and Catherine Maggio, were the axeman’s first victims in nearly a decade, and this was the beginning of another killing spree. In the middle of the night on May 22, 1918, Jake and Andrew Maggio were sleeping in their rooms until Jake heard loud groaning echoing from his neighbor's house, also his brother, Joseph’s house (New Orleans). Then, the two brothers went to go check on their brother, and what caught their eye was a panel removed from the door, which wasn’t removed when they were there for dinner the night before. After they saw the panel removed, they walked cautiously into Joseph’s room and were astonished to find blood everywhere, with
Tragically, the butchered upper-torso of Winter’s once-robust body was stumbled upon by his father, who had noticed the absence of his son since Sunday, March 11 (Smith 2002, 25-26). Unsurprisingly, an investigation occurred to obtain the identity and whereabouts of the murderer. When the various pieces of the body are found in differing areas of the town, theory begins to formulate that the murder was conducted by one of the two butchers in town; Adolph Lewy, a Jew, and Gustav Hoffman, a Christian, due to the precision of the cuts made upon Winter’s body (Smith 28).
Many people have researched into this. They have uncovered unbelievable facts and have developed extremely intriguing theories. Theories which get even professionals to rethink their opinions on his death actually happening.Even the most skeptical people have changed their opinions. I am not writing this essay to change people opinions. I am writing this essay to bring out all of the facts and theories. By doing this I can perhaps bring people to see what can be a monstrous coincidence or the greatest scam I have ever heard of in my life.

Two detectives were assigned to the case: Harry Hanson and Finis Brown. [2] When they and the police arrived at the crime scene, it was already swarming with people, gawkers and reporters. The entire situation was out of hand and crowded, everyone trampling all over any hopes for good evidence. [2] One thing they did report finding was a nearby cement block with watery blood on it, tire tracks and a heel print on the ground. There was dew under the body so they knew it had been set there just after 2 a.m. when temperatures dropped to 38 degrees.
Even though inartistic proofs can be questioned, because of the conflicting reports it is obvious someone made an error at some point. The reader does not have to click on a link to view these inartistic proofs, they are embedded right in the website. Documents within the website include: The Valdosta-Lowndes Regional Crime Laboratory, the Official Report done by the Division of Forensic Sciences of the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, and the second autopsy report done by the Forensic Dimension in Florida.
The sad story is still mostly a mystery because of the ongoing investigation, and both the police and autopsy report were withheld from the public. What is known, is that a nineteen-year-old freshman at The College of New Jersey (TCNJ) named John Fiocco Jr. was reported missing from his dormitory on March 25th 2006 after drinking. Police reported finding blood (that was later identified as belonging to Fiocco) around a dumpster outside of his dormitory. It was never made clear if it had any connection to the trash chute above, but his body was recovered at the Bucks County landfill in Pennsylvania. (Landfill Isn't About Fiocco)
During the first stage of investigations, Austrian archaeologist Konrad Spindler researched the layout, which had proved that the iceman’s body position and placement of weapons were preserved in the same position from when the Iceman had died, it had also been proved that the body was initially covered in a thin layer of snow which had helped complete the freeze drying process before it turned into ice. The body had been so well preserved because of the depth that the Iceman was actually lying in the ground, which was near the watershed (watershed meaning a line of high land where streams on one side flow into one river or sea and streams on the other side flow into another.) This meant that a glacier would be able to develop above him throughout the next millennia without moving his position down hill. In this position he was able to remain buried, frozen, covered and protected by the cold over a period of 5,300 years as the worlds oldest, best preserved natural mummy. 2a)

It was very strange to see another human/carriage on the ice. It was a shock to the crew to see a single man on a sled dragged by dogs through the Northern Sea. Comparing to a well equipped ship, the sled looked like a deadly ride. As mentioned earlier, you could only see the endless ice surrounding them and they couldn?t believe that a single man would travel far from the Big Land. However, the man on the sled was a gigantic stature and most likely he was a strong and brave man.
Johannes Mehserle was arrested on January 13th for the murder of Oscar Grant. Mehserle was granted bail; it was set at three million dollars (Bulwa). He testified that he thought that Oscar Grant had a weapon and was going to stock him with his stun gun but by accident he pulled out his gun. The prosecutors were trying to get him convicted of second-degree murder, by saying Mehserle was angry with Grant for resting the arres...
... are minds are playing tricks on us and that we assume were seeing the creature. But, the funny thing is that years before her article came out Radford wrote one on Bigfoot too. It also states in the article that throughout the world there hasn’t been any blood, bones, or bodies ever found.
Altogether, sixteen document examiners had either testified or were willing to testify against Hauptmann. The Lindbergh kidnapping is historic in the fact that virtually every handwriting expert, at the time, had weighed in with the prosecution. Some of the examiners included: Albert S. Osborn, Albert D. Osborn, Elbridge W. Stein, and John E Tyrrell. With the review of the ransom notes, this case proved exactly how important questioned documents can be to a case. Without the help of Albert S. Osborn, and the other handwriting experts, who knows how the case would have concluded. The Lindbergh case also changed how we look at forensic botany since there was no soil collection of where the body was found. The identification of the wood used, the physical marks left by tools on the wood, and comparisons of the wood structure were also key components to the further development of forensic botany. On February 11, 1935 Hauptmann was found guilty of murder and was sentenced to death. Hauptmann died in the electric chair on April 3, 1936. At the time of the sentencing, virtually no one considered Hauptmann to be innocent. In the aftermath of the crime, the most notorious of the 1930s, kidnapping was made a federal
...rmation was depicted as honest. This information was also declared as unbelievable. It was declared as unbelievable become research proved was what the patient said they possibility had an out of body experience. When in reality it could have been the over dose of pain medicine taken by the victim. The victim also could have been suffering from a massive headache. Therefore this information is unbelievable.
