Frequently Asked Questions About These Unsolved Mysteries
Which of these unsolved mysteries is closest to being solved? Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 is the most active case — new deep-sea search zones opened in 2025 and ocean drift modelling continues to narrow the wreckage area in the southern Indian Ocean.
Why has the Zodiac Killer never been identified? The Zodiac case predates modern DNA databases, and partial fingerprints recovered at scenes have never matched anyone in AFIS. Investigative genetic genealogy techniques are now being applied to trace evidence collected in 1969.
