This month’s missing persons case is one that does not get a lot of coverage, despite the strange nature of the disappearance - a missing young man, a $300,000 ransom, and a distant family member claiming to know the young man was dead. What happened to Ruben Humberto Herrera on the morning of April 27, [...]

The Mysterious: Hunter S. Thompson’s Death

The Extraterrestrial: Valensole
This month’s Alien Post™ comes to us all the way from France - our first trip to the country!

What happened in a lavender field outside of Valensole, France in the early [...]
