On October 9, 1955, the body of 34-year-old Adam Payne was found lying on the roadway of KY 428 (Guston Rd), 7/10th of a mile west of Guston in Meade County, Kentucky. He was initially reported as being struck by a vehicle. The responding trooper found that this did not lead to his death as the victim died from gunshot wounds and was struck after death. He had been shot and killed in another location and then his body had been dumped.

On October 7, 1958, 33-year-old Max Metcalf was last seen at the home he shared with his wife and children in Princeton, Wisconsin. He told his wife that he was going to a local tavern that was a 1/2 mile from their home. He would drive off in his Dodge 330 series pickup. He would never return home. His truck would be found 35 miles away in Oshkosh, Wisconsin around 11pm to 12 am.
The pickup was parked behind a storage facility on South Main Street. It was not seen as suspicious for a week until police heard of his disappearance. The truck's parking brake was on and his wife thought that was suspicious as he wouldn't use the parking brake as it was broken. The truck was parked in a way that it seemed like someone was in a hurry.
Max is a white male and was 33-years-old at the time. He was 5'5" to 6'3" and 190 to 220 lbs. He has brown hair and blue eyes. He left wearing his blue Air Force shirt, Wrangler jeans, and maroon canvas shoes.

3-year-old Lorenzo "Lenchito" Vazquez Lazalde was last seen in Juárez, Mexico in 1954. His mother stated that Lorenzo was outside playing at a relative's home when he went missing. There was a rumor that relatives whisked him away to El Paso or California. That he died in an accident in Juárez. Another was that someone lured him to a bus by using his nickname Lenchito. None of these rumors were confirmed by the family.
I have little information in this case. I don't speak any language other than English and I do not have the ability to find Spanish sources. If anyone reading has found other sources for this case as in him being found or more information on this case please link below.

The Blue Lady is sometimes referred to as Is-sinjura tal-Verdala. Before her death, she was arranged to marry a man she did not love. He may have been one of the knights. She kept refusing it, but she had no choice in the matter.
She would be imprisoned in her room in the palace being forced to accept an unwanted marriage. She had no way out, but the window. She would either slip to her death in her attempt to escape or willingly jumped to her death. It's unknown, but either way, she was not forced to marry the man.
She is seen in Verdala Palace wearing the same blue dress she died in. The one she was supposed to wear to her wedding. She'd be spotted walking the halls, in mirrors, or standing at the edge of balconies.
Forever stuck in the place she tried to escape.

In the 1880s a farm called Bocksten in Varberg Municipality, Sweden was created near a bog. The bog had been regularly drained and a harrow was used to gather peat by the owner Albert Johansson. A leather shoe was found in the wetland and donated to the Varberg County Museum, and later a shoe sole was also found in the bog.
On June 22, 1936, Albert's son Thur found a body while gathering peat. His harrow got caught on sackcloth. When Thur examined what he was hitting he saw parts of a skeleton. The next day Albert and Thur went and notified the police and doctor. It was then realized that the body was not recent and too old to be of investigation.
Johan Albert Sandklef, the director of Varberg County Museum, took over the body. He would invite others to help investigate the bog body that would eventually be called the Bocksten Man. They would measure and photograph the area before excavating.
The upper parts of the man passed through the harrow and were badly damaged. The lower parts stayed intact though. Though the body had been damaged his body is considered one of the best-preserved finds in Europe in that Era.
It's believed he had been hit at the lower jaw, then the right ear, and then the lethal hit was towards the back of his head. He was then pushed to where he was found and impaled with three wooden poles used for roofing to the bottom of the bog.
Bocksten Man's inner organs, parts of the lungs, liver, brain, and cartilage were preserved. It's believed that he's between 25 and 40 (more likely 35 to 40), but could be up to 60-years-old. He was 170 to 180 cm (5'7" to 5'11") tall with a slender build. His tunic was well-preserved, one of the best-preserved from that time. It was made of woollen fabric. He was wearing a gugel hood that was 90cm long and 2cm wide liripipe. He was wearing a shirt and a cloak and his legs were covered by hosiery. He had a fabric bag, foot coverings, leather shoes, a belt, a leather sheath and two knives. The sheath was 40mm wide and 62mm long, it was composed of 3 layers with a combined saltire and St. George's Cross carved on the outer layer. The inner laver had a similar pattern was carved, but with a pole added
The time he died was based on his clothing it's believed that he may have died between 1290 to 1430. His stature and items/clothing found with him makes it believed he was an upper class or a merchant. It's also suggested that he was a tax collector or soldier recruiter.
According to Albert Sandklef a local farmer, Karl Andersson, had heard of legend from when he was a child. His father was told bt two older people that a soldier recruiter was killed by local peasants. His body was put in the bog, but his ghost would haunt the area. So in order to stop it, poles were stuck into the body. Albert Sandklef asked other locals of this, but no one claimed to have heard of the story.
It's believed he had been hit at the lower jaw, then the right ear, and then the lethal hit was towards the back of his head. He was then pushed to where he was found and impaled with three wooden poles used for roofing to the bottom of the bog.
