    If you could solve any non-JTR mystery which would it be?

    Let's say you could see back in time and uncover the truth of one unsolved mystery, which one would it be?

      The disappearance of Beverly Potts. It seems pretty much impossible for the girl to have disappeared as she did, but it happened. Foul play or accident, none of the theories really fit the facts.

          Or how I conned my only wife into marrying me.

          There are two ways to be fooled, one is to believe what isn't true, the other is to refuse to believe that which is true.

            Who was the witness at Mr Black’s inquest.

            A purely personal quest. And of no interest to anyone else I imagine.

                This is a long way from Harry's opener but in line with Graham's post. In response to the question in an old match day football programme ''Who has been your hardest opponent?'', the then England striker Frank Worthington answered: ''My ex-wife''.

                    3. Ali Lowitzer

                    Would be my personal picks.

                      JonBenet Ramsey

                      Betsy Aardsma, girl stabbed thru heart in public library at PSU in 1969 (not totally convinced that it was Richard Haefner as 2 recent books assert)

                      Julia Wallace (mainly to shut a certain someone up on the thread as I'm confident in my theory )

                      Martha Moxley, probably the case I know most about. I live close to it and even know some of the periphery characters. I do not think Michael Skakel was guilty. He is out on appeal now. Would really want to know for sure. If I had to pick 1, it would probably be this one.

                      Graham, if you hire me and fund my stay at a hotel as well as "business dinners" with your friends and colleagues so I can gain greater insight into your character, I will promise to solve that mystery for you within a few months.

                        Hello Ginger,

                        I remember this case. I don't think her disappearance was that unbelievable, bearing in mind there was a thronging crowd there to see the travelling show. Anyone could've taken her. Only takes a second for a child to be snatched.

                        Quite sad that all her immediate family passed away never knowing the truth.

                          Why have people started beginning a sentence with an unnecessary ‘so.’

                          You hear it on tv all the time. Quiz shows for example.

                          “Ok Paul, what do you do for a living?”

                          “So I work for an advertising agency.”

                          “And what are your hobbies?”

                          “So I love to travel.”

                          WHY?!

                            The "trailing so" is a pet peeve of mine, usually appearing in interviews with sports stars.

                            "We've been putting in a lot of work on the practice field recently, so..."

                            So... what, exactly? I'm still waiting.

                              Foreign sports people enjoy using 'for sure.' I love it when they say things like "If I can cross the line first, then for sure I will win."
