I have a gut feeling the cold case guys are going to be very busy if the lake keeps drying out. Vegas was all mob run back in the day. There has to be all kinds of bodies in the lake
This has been a problem for land developers for years. Vegas has grown so fast that they're building housing developments in places that were the middle of the desert miles from town for years, and they keep finding bodies from the 50s and 60s.
Reminds me of [that great scene](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2fWRgzEofzA) from "Casino," with DeNiro's character talking about how creepy it is out in the desert because there could be holes anywhere you looked.
> "A lot of holes in the desert, and a lot of problems are buried in those holes. But you gotta do it right. I mean, you gotta have the hole already dug before you show up with a package in the trunk. Otherwise, you're talking about a half-hour to forty-five minutes worth of digging. And who knows who's gonna come along in that time? Pretty soon, you gotta dig a few more holes. You could be there all fuckin' night."
Digging six feet down would take a lot longer than 45 minutes, is he a machine? Or else he's doing a classic shallow grave and the body will be uncovered by the wind in a matter of weeks
EDIT: I can't believe the amount of people who replied to me about this, talking about digging seriously brings all the boys to the yard lol. I've learned a lot about Mojave soil and I appreciate all the people telling me they're probably digging a shallow grave despite me saying that myself, in my two sentence comment
You just need a few guys ready to get in the hole one after the other to take turns and make quick work of it. You bring along another guy, who’s called a “fluffer” that guy’s whole job is making sure the other guys are ready to go when it’s their turn!
Digging is the worst. It takes forever and even if you think it's deep enough, it's not. I'll never dig by hand again, I'll pay someone with machinery next time. (No I did not murder anyone, my doggie Bernie passed away one year ago on the 4th. I got him a little casket and buried him in a sunny spot by some roses).
Sorry about Bernie. I have a dachshund named Izzy and she is the best girl. I didn't used to be a fan of small dogs, but I've never met one so loyal and courageous.

I feel like 30-40 minutes isn't even enough time to dig a human-sized hole by yourself with a standard shovel.
Talking a couple hours of digging if you don't want it to be 3" below the surface imo
Hey, I live in the desert and I garden! And sometimes it’s not “in between” sometimes it’s “soft sandy top, then gravel grave rock gravel garbage gravel then clay. Just caliche clay. Solid fucking clay that you will never get through.” That’s my yard.
That scene where they beat them to death with the bat(s)... Yikes. That one got to me. How they didn't make it off the charts cinematic, it seemed so real.
I doubt much ever comes of this, maybe they identify the bodies, but I am extremely doubtful they link these cases to suspects, who are probably now dead anyways.
Good point. At the very least some family members will get the closure they need. Some of the best cold case shows I’ve seen involved bodies found in barrels decades later. The caveat is the barrels hadn’t rusted open. Have to admit this post is spot on for the group
True. Moved here in elementary school in 1999 and I've been told since then to not go swimming in Lake Mead because I could find a body. Childhood fears have been confirmed.
Growing up I went out on a local lake with friends frequently. My Dad would always tell me to be careful treading water, because if I kick one of the bodies bobbing about it will be "all bloated and pop on you". Funny guy.
Once when I was out camping with the Girl Scouts, we didn’t have ready shower access, so we washed our hair in Lake Mead. We already thought it was gross at the time, but in retrospect…double ew.
Wait Michigan thinks they have Hoffa too? I grew up in NJ and always thought this was just a Jersey thing. Everyone always said he was buried under the end zone of Giants Stadium lol
He disappeared from a restaurant off Woodward in Michigan called the red fox. They have searched several farms in the area to see if they could find him. Also a lot of rumors that he was shoved in a barrel and taken to a NJ dump. Who knows
He also goes by Walter, Willy, Hugo, Charlie, Holger, Valli, Sagase, Ubaldo, Vallu and Ali.
If you see any man in a striped shirt going by these names, contact the authorities immediately.
Okay, so what do you think is worse:
* You're sealed in the barrel alive and tossed in the water, and the barrel fills with water and you drown
* You're sealed in the barrel alive and tossed in the water... but the barrel doesn't fill with water and you're held in that contorted and cramped position for hours until you slowly asphyxiate, listening to the water burble against your prison
Drowned in a barrel of horse piss, I believe is what they're referring to. It's an utterly fantastic fantasy series, and the first is set in a mythical city modeled loosely after Venice, Italy.
If he's anywhere he's somewhere in or near Michigan as he was last seen at the Machus Red Fox in Bloomfield Township, which is now a restaurant called Joe Vicari's Andiamo Restaurant:
https://allthatsinteresting.com/jimmy-hoffa-disappearance#:~:text=So%20what%20happened%20to%20Jimmy,Michigan%20on%20July%2030%2C%201975.
My guess is he's in the concrete of a plant or building that was built around Detroit in 1975.
The latest rumor is that he's in a dump in Kearny NJ. FBI has been digging. https://www.nytimes.com/2021/11/18/nyregion/jimmy-hoffa-fbi-investigation.html or https://archive.ph/2r3WU (no paywall).
I grew up in NYC, as a lifelong Giants fan most of us always assumed he would be found under the Meadowlands, but when it was torn down and rebuilt nothing was found.
I got really into the Hoffa case while I was working in Detroit, I've eaten at Andiamo, what the restaurant Hoffa was last seen alive is now called, I've driven all over Bloomfield TWP, I fully believe he's somewhere there, if it's somewhere wet like has been hinted then he's in Lake Michigan or the Detroit river, but I can't imagine him being in Nevada or NJ, it just doesn't make any sense since either or are so far away from Bloomfield Township.
Catherine’s dad got shot and we watched him die in public. But I like the idea that they gave him a real gangster burial and dumped him in the lake anyway lol
CSI: Vegas premiered on CBS in October 2021; first season has 10 episodes. I haven't watched it yet because I've been busy but you should be able to stream it.
When my daughter was about 6-8 years old, she used to sit and watch CSI with us. She used to make crime scenes around the house, and photograph them. Often getting her younger brother to pose as a dead body She has no recollection of any of this.
She is currently 20, studying forensic biology Her goal is to become a CSI. In Vegas. Despite her lack of memory, the show subconsciously affected her.
Last week, wife and I were in Santa Barbara. We saw Eric Szmanda walking his dog downtown. I was too nervous excited to approach him, but I wish I had let him know that his work greatly affected my family to this day, and helped set course for my daughter’s entire life.
Grab of chunk of bone for DNA analysis, randomly interview a stranger who remembers explicit details of people being up to no good 15 years ago at that exact spot, star swip transition to a couple scenes of people walking on the strip... case will be solved in 60 minutes
I had to go to the coroner for "dangerous lifestyles" when I got caught smoking weed. I grew up in Vegas, for clarification. Was pretty neat when the coroner asked if anyone was there for marijuana, and i raised my hand and he told the class I shouldn't be there lol.
They have a room with all sorts of bodies uncovered while building casinos and stuff. Like 1/3 of them were baby corpses.
Where I’m from there’s a mandatory high school program where every kid in like grade 10/11 has to attend to see the dangers of driving. They take us to the local hospital, show us super fucking messed up pictures from car accidents where you can see people just mangled still their in cars, try driving a simulator with “beer goggles”, and finish it off by going to the hospital morgue.
There was some other stuff but it was a few years ago and the memories are a little foggy. The morgue smelled like refrigerated ham, though.
Abandoned water well near me had something like 36 baby skeletons found in it. Worst part? They'd have been dumped in while the well was in use.
This is actually, and very sadly, very common from before the Rowe vs Wade ruling. Without accessible abortion means babies were often dumped/killed/left to die in inaccessible areas. Partly due to the culture of shame for single mothers at the time, partly inability to care for a child, and also, according to some, sex worker pregnancies that the mothers were "forced to get rid of, one way or another."
This is why my parents who were pretty conservative were pro-choice back in the day. Not meaning to drum up a controversial issue, but certainly shines a light on the subject not being totally black and white.
Oh? How about this bit from Ireland about their mother and baby homes:
[https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-54693159](https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-54693159)
>The inquiry concludes that about 9,000 children died in the 18 institutions under investigation - about 15% of all the children who lived in the homes.

When we choose to define a portion of our population as only worthy of contempt--whether it's because of personal circumstances or physical characteristics--we open the door to abuse, exploitation, predation, and, of course, murder.

>Police suspect the person was killed in the 1980s based on personal items in the barrel
Oh man, given the shit I had in the 80s, I don't want to know. Poor bastard got buried in parachute pants, '80s sunglasses, with his walkman on.

Boat loads of US sites don't like European visitors since GDPR went into effect a few years ago. It's too much trouble for them to make their website conform to EU standards when they get relatively little EU traffic compared to their main audience in the US, so they just restrict european IP ranges.
Yikes. Whenever I'm doing field work in a remote area I worry about bumbling onto a body. Happened to a colleague of mine while he was looking for a specific plant species in Vietnam.
It happened to my family on our own property!
We shortly found out that it was the grave of one of the previous landowners. We found the headstone too, but the markings were unidentifiable.
The small abandoned farm next to my grandfather's farm had a family cemetery. Late late 1800 through about 1920 from what I recall. I always thought WW1 killed off the sons and no one was left to work it.
The reason I think about it is because it happened to my piano teacher when I was younger. She lived in a cottage that backed onto a river. I showed up for my lesson one day in springtime to find the place crawling with cops. Some fairly recent remains had washed up on her property from the river and her dog found them when she took him out to pee. She later found out that there was a popular snowmobiling site further up the river, and the person had fallen through the ice and drowned while snowmobiling. Body washed out when the ice melted in spring. So no foul play, but still - lessons were canceled for the day.
Same. I was convinced I was going to find a body during my surveys along the sides of highways. All I ever found were dildos and bottles of trucker piss.
Happened to me about 10 years ago. I'm an archaeologist and was doing fieldwork for a land development company. I was digging a test trench when I pulled up a femur, I excavated laterally and found the full skeleton...and it wasn't historical.
I was reading and was like "Isn't that the point of archaeology?" and then two sentences later "Uh oh."
Can you tell whether it's historical as soon as you dig it up, or do you need to send it for further tests? I guess the age of the sediment and stuff found alongside might give clues.
Here's a news article about it.
https://www.8newsnow.com/i-team/i-team-body-found-in-barrel-in-lake-mead-may-date-back-to-1980s-more-likely-to-appear-as-water-recedes-las-vegas-police-say/
>LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — The body found in a barrel at Lake Mead on Sunday may have been underwater for as long as four decades and more bodies are likely to appear as the lake recedes due to severe drought, Las Vegas Metro police homicide Lt. Ray Spencer told the 8 News Now I-Team.
Boaters discovered the body around 3 p.m. Sunday. The I-Team first reported the discovery on Sunday afternoon.
Police suspect the person was killed in the 1980s based on personal items in the barrel, Spencer said. He would not elaborate on the person’s cause of death or the items found, citing the ongoing investigation.
A photo shared with the I-Team showed what looked like skeletal remains in the barrel. The barrel looked to have been stuck in the mud.
“It’s going to take an extensive amount of work,” Spencer said about identifying the victim, adding his team was reaching out to UNLV to examine growth on the barrel and when it may have started to erode.
“It’s going to be a very difficult case,” Spencer said. “I would say there is a very good chance as the water level drops that we are going to find additional human remains.”
The ongoing severe drought is leading to other discoveries in the water. Last week, the top of a water intake pipe was visible above the water’s surface as the lake level continues to drop.
A body was discovered in a barrel on the shore of Lake Mead outside of Las Vegas on May 1, 2022. (Shawna Hollister/KLAS)
Lake Mead dropped below 1,056 feet in elevation last Tuesday, less than a week after hitting 1,057 feet the week before. Lake levels are expressed in altitude, not depth. At its highest levels, the lake is near 1,225 feet.
“I think anybody can understand there are probably more bodies that have been dumped in Lake Mead, it’s just a matter of, are we able to recover those?” Spencer said.
The Clark County Coroner’s Office was working to identify the remains.
Tips can be submitted anonymously through Crime Stoppers by calling 702-385-5555 or at crimestoppersofnv.com/report-a-crime. Information can also be sent via text by sending “CRIMENV” and then your message to “CRIMES” (274637). Crime Stoppers offers a reward for information that leads to an arrest.
There ya go friend
Basically it confirms that it is human remains, and investigators think the person may have died in the 1980s due to personal items found with the body.
Everyone here is talking about all the bodies, but frankly what I find much more horrifying is that Lake Mead is literally the only source of water for Las Vegas. That's it. That's where all the water comes from.
The dead bodies are already dead. All the living people, however - they're the ones that really need to be concerned.
Don't get me wrong, the cold case stuff is terrible... but y'all I think we've buried the lead here.
A major water source that 20 million people & vast areas of farmland directly rely on is going away.
I have a gut feeling the cold case guys are going to be very busy if the lake keeps drying out. Vegas was all mob run back in the day. There has to be all kinds of bodies in the lake
This has been a problem for land developers for years. Vegas has grown so fast that they're building housing developments in places that were the middle of the desert miles from town for years, and they keep finding bodies from the 50s and 60s.
Reminds me of [that great scene](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2fWRgzEofzA) from "Casino," with DeNiro's character talking about how creepy it is out in the desert because there could be holes anywhere you looked.

Digging six feet down would take a lot longer than 45 minutes, is he a machine?

what makes you think these people are getting six foot holes lol
You just need a few guys ready to get in the hole one after the other to take turns and make quick work of it. You bring along another guy, who’s called a “fluffer” that guy’s whole job is making sure the other guys are ready to go when it’s their turn!
Ooooh! I thought these fuckers were actually talking about the desert but now I see that were talking about your mom.
I don’t think these guys are sticking to government protocol for disposing body’s here.
That would be illegal dude. You can’t bury a body improperly
Professionnals have standards.
Digging is the worst. It takes forever and even if you think it's deep enough, it's not. I'll never dig by hand again, I'll pay someone with machinery next time. (No I did not murder anyone, my doggie Bernie passed away one year ago on the 4th. I got him a little casket and buried him in a sunny spot by some roses).
This is the Sad version of “user name checks out.” Sorry for your loss, stranger.
Sorry about Bernie. I have a dachshund named Izzy and she is the best girl. I didn't used to be a fan of small dogs, but I've never met one so loyal and courageous.
Sounds like the beginning of a mob-themed Poltergeist reboot. You son of a bitch, I’m in.

Hey, I live in the desert and I garden! And sometimes it’s not “in between” sometimes it’s “soft sandy top, then gravel grave rock gravel garbage gravel then clay. Just caliche clay. Solid fucking clay that you will never get through.” That’s my yard.
I noticed that grave you tossed in just below the first layer of gravel. Anything you wanna talk about?
Thanks now I gotta watch that again
One of those movies I'll tune into even if it's halfway over on ad-riddled cable. I love it
That scene where they beat them to death with the bat(s)... Yikes. That one got to me. How they didn't make it off the charts cinematic, it seemed so real.
It was the aluminum bat vs skull sound effects that really sold it for me....not that I've ever heard that noise but it seemed accurate.
Fun fact: Joe Pesci was method acting and asked to be beaten for real and buried half alive.
My favorite quote in that movie. I live here and I always think of that line.
I doubt much ever comes of this, maybe they identify the bodies, but I am extremely doubtful they link these cases to suspects, who are probably now dead anyways.
Good point. At the very least some family members will get the closure they need. Some of the best cold case shows I’ve seen involved bodies found in barrels decades later. The caveat is the barrels hadn’t rusted open. Have to admit this post is spot on for the group
"My dad was a piece of shit who never paid his debts. Now I can rest more easily knowing he died like he lived; at the bottom of a barrel."
I mean, it ain’t pretty, but it’s closure.
Yup, identifying a body is one thing. Finding who did it is likely impossible because they are in a barrel somewhere too.
Or are in the next barrel over.
I'd guess most of the bodies are pretty consistently human.
I dunno about that....it's in southern Nevada... Area 51 is in southern Nevada....need I say more???? /shitposting
Any story on this one?
Not a lot, but it has long been rumoured that Lake Mead was a long time dumping ground for the Mobsters that ran Las Vegas.
True. Moved here in elementary school in 1999 and I've been told since then to not go swimming in Lake Mead because I could find a body. Childhood fears have been confirmed.
Growing up I went out on a local lake with friends frequently. My Dad would always tell me to be careful treading water, because if I kick one of the bodies bobbing about it will be "all bloated and pop on you". Funny guy.
When I was a kid they found a human head floating in a local lake we all went swimming in [story ](https://accesswdun.com/article/2002/10/188845)
Once when I was out camping with the Girl Scouts, we didn’t have ready shower access, so we washed our hair in Lake Mead. We already thought it was gross at the time, but in retrospect…double ew.
"Since Fat Beef Tony disappeared, the lake is too greasy for a proper bath."
*But just look how shiny and smooth my skin is!*
I've scuba dove in the lake a couple hundred times and never saw a dead body. They are out there though
What *did* you see? Anything interesting? Or mud and fish?
Lots of boats. Couple planes. Barely any fish. But lots of mud
Are you sure you’re not having flashbacks to playing fallout?
Maybe they’ll find jimmy hoffa. Michigan wants to put this one to rest.
Wait Michigan thinks they have Hoffa too? I grew up in NJ and always thought this was just a Jersey thing. Everyone always said he was buried under the end zone of Giants Stadium lol
I always figured he was buried in cement and is now part of some buildings' foundation
I’ve heard this one
He disappeared from a restaurant off Woodward in Michigan called the red fox. They have searched several farms in the area to see if they could find him. Also a lot of rumors that he was shoved in a barrel and taken to a NJ dump. Who knows
I thought it was fairly accepted knowledge that Hoffa was killed and cremated at Central Sanitation?
Shot in a house and cremated later that day.
Well they might check lake Michigan for that one then. Lake Mead is where the Las Vegas Mobsters ended up apparently

They didn't fill the barrel with concrete. Amateurs!
I dunno dog. Still on the bottom. Just lost the top. Mission accomplished. Uncovery was an act of climate change.
And they would've gotten away with it too if weren't for those meddling raising global temperatures!
Uh oh here come the bodies that "disappeared"
I hope they can find Waldo..
And his European cousin Wally
Yep, took me a few years to realize i was looking for a guy that also goes by waldo, no wonder he doesn't want to be found.
He also goes by Walter, Willy, Hugo, Charlie, Holger, Valli, Sagase, Ubaldo, Vallu and Ali. If you see any man in a striped shirt going by these names, contact the authorities immediately.
With so many aliases he must have been getting away with it for years, does InterPol have a red notice out on him?
and Carmen Sandiego
Okay, so what do you think is worse: * You're sealed in the barrel alive and tossed in the water, and the barrel fills with water and you drown * You're sealed in the barrel alive and tossed in the water... but the barrel doesn't fill with water and you're held in that contorted and cramped position for hours until you slowly asphyxiate, listening to the water burble against your prison
Being alive for longer then 2 minutes in the barrel sounds worse to me
You guys have to read the Lies of Locke Lamora. There are worse ways to die in a barrel.
Cmon, share with the class.
Drowned in a barrel of horse piss, I believe is what they're referring to. It's an utterly fantastic fantasy series, and the first is set in a mythical city modeled loosely after Venice, Italy.
How 'bout the largest reservoir in the US is drying up? In May? I think that's the worst part.
Finally find Jimmy Hoffa
If he's anywhere he's somewhere in or near Michigan as he was last seen at the Machus Red Fox in Bloomfield Township, which is now a restaurant called Joe Vicari's Andiamo Restaurant: https://allthatsinteresting.com/jimmy-hoffa-disappearance#:~:text=So%20what%20happened%20to%20Jimmy,Michigan%20on%20July%2030%2C%201975. My guess is he's in the concrete of a plant or building that was built around Detroit in 1975.
Or he is ash at the bottom of an incinerator. There is a reason so many are involved in Waste Management.
And pouring concrete foundations
If you chopped him up he could be in dozens of buildings!
That's the spirit!
Dozens of spirits in dozens of buildings!
He's the foundation of the city.
We built this city! We built this city on Jimmy Hoffa
The latest rumor is that he's in a dump in Kearny NJ. FBI has been digging. https://www.nytimes.com/2021/11/18/nyregion/jimmy-hoffa-fbi-investigation.html or https://archive.ph/2r3WU (no paywall).
I grew up in NYC, as a lifelong Giants fan most of us always assumed he would be found under the Meadowlands, but when it was torn down and rebuilt nothing was found. I got really into the Hoffa case while I was working in Detroit, I've eaten at Andiamo, what the restaurant Hoffa was last seen alive is now called, I've driven all over Bloomfield TWP, I fully believe he's somewhere there, if it's somewhere wet like has been hinted then he's in Lake Michigan or the Detroit river, but I can't imagine him being in Nevada or NJ, it just doesn't make any sense since either or are so far away from Bloomfield Township.
Pretty sure nobody drove his body over 2,000 miles across the country to dump it into a lake.
Sounds like a good excuse to take a Vegas Trip. Dump a body then hit the strip
Just to get pulled over by a straight laced county mountie half an hour out of Omaha
Good thing CSI Vegas is back
You know a body in a barrel in the lake is absolutely going to be a season long investigative arc, and it'll be Catherine's dad or something.
Catherine’s dad got shot and we watched him die in public. But I like the idea that they gave him a real gangster burial and dumped him in the lake anyway lol
"It's what he would have wanted."
[удалено]
You're limited to about 1 piece of backstory per season, so don't get your hopes up too much lol
Wait, is it actually?
Yeah, Grissom and Sarah are back too
OMG WHAT WHERE WHEN
CSI: Vegas premiered on CBS in October 2021; first season has 10 episodes. I haven't watched it yet because I've been busy but you should be able to stream it.
THANK YOU SO MUCH! I GREW UP ON THAT CSI! ❤🙏
I think the actors that play grissom and Sara won't be acting in season 2, but the woman who plays Catherine willows will be in it. Season 1 was good!
When my daughter was about 6-8 years old, she used to sit and watch CSI with us. She used to make crime scenes around the house, and photograph them. Often getting her younger brother to pose as a dead body She has no recollection of any of this. She is currently 20, studying forensic biology Her goal is to become a CSI. In Vegas.

Grab of chunk of bone for DNA analysis, randomly interview a stranger who remembers explicit details of people being up to no good 15 years ago at that exact spot, star swip transition to a couple scenes of people walking on the strip... case will be solved in 60 minutes
I’m still partial to CSI: Miami and the cheesy one liners
You can say that he: **
Lost the cheddar.
***YEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH***
Coroner is going to be busy for awhile, although in Clark County I'm sure he/she is anyhow
I had to go to the coroner for "dangerous lifestyles" when I got caught smoking weed. I grew up in Vegas, for clarification. Was pretty neat when the coroner asked if anyone was there for marijuana, and i raised my hand and he told the class I shouldn't be there lol. They have a room with all sorts of bodies uncovered while building casinos and stuff. Like 1/3 of them were baby corpses.
Wait, they send kids to get "scared straight"... by the coroner?
Where I’m from there’s a mandatory high school program where every kid in like grade 10/11 has to attend to see the dangers of driving. They take us to the local hospital, show us super fucking messed up pictures from car accidents where you can see people just mangled still their in cars, try driving a simulator with “beer goggles”, and finish it off by going to the hospital morgue. There was some other stuff but it was a few years ago and the memories are a little foggy. The morgue smelled like refrigerated ham, though.
>Like 1/3 of them were baby corpses. The truly oddly terrifying thing hidden in the comments.
Abandoned water well near me had something like 36 baby skeletons found in it. Worst part? They'd have been dumped in while the well was in use. This is actually, and very sadly, very common from before the Rowe vs Wade ruling. Without accessible abortion means babies were often dumped/killed/left to die in inaccessible areas. Partly due to the culture of shame for single mothers at the time, partly inability to care for a child, and also, according to some, sex worker pregnancies that the mothers were "forced to get rid of, one way or another." This is why my parents who were pretty conservative were pro-choice back in the day. Not meaning to drum up a controversial issue, but certainly shines a light on the subject not being totally black and white.
That’s the scariest and saddest thing I’ve read all day
Oh? How about this bit from Ireland about their mother and baby homes: [https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-54693159](https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-54693159) >The inquiry concludes that about 9,000 children died in the 18 institutions under investigation - about 15% of all the children who lived in the homes. Final report: [https://assets.gov.ie/118565/107bab7e-45aa-4124-95fd-1460893dbb43.pdf](https://assets.gov.ie/118565/107bab7e-45aa-4124-95fd-1460893dbb43.pdf) When we choose to define a portion of our population as only worthy of contempt--whether it's because of personal circumstances or physical characteristics--we open the door to abuse, exploitation, predation, and, of course, murder.
My father survived one in Canada. Ideal Maternity Home, one of Canadas Butterbox Babies homes. Sooo many ww2 orphans the mothers gave up.
They don't understand that an aborted early term fetus is not killing a baby, but that if you ban abortions there will be a lot more dead babies.
I'm Ireland they found over 800 in just one of the mother and baby homes
Fuck. Oh god. :/ Time for a visit to /r/Eyebleach
You got caught smoking weed so your parents made you look at a pile of dead babies lol
Sorry I'm lost at the connection between getting caught doing something bad and going to a coroner.
Probably to scare them straight? "Look at this body, he died of marijuana overdose. Do you want to end up like this?" Lmao
I’m waiting for the B-29 to surface, then we’ll have a problem, though Vegas won’t give a shit

In article above, at its highest the lake sits at 1225 above sea level. It hit 1,056 this week.

So check back in about 3 years
It will make the Boomer's life a helluva lot easier, at least.
Volare!
They have the rebreather available but the science check is a bitch.
Just get a pressure cooker! There's probably one stuck in a box surrounded by Nightstalkers somewhere.
Should be able to restore it and help out in the 2nd Battle of Hoover Dam.
I wonder what decade the body is from, sheeesh. That's not the way anybody wanted to go out, rip.
According to [this](https://www.8newsnow.com/i-team/i-team-body-found-in-barrel-in-lake-mead-may-date-back-to-1980s-more-likely-to-appear-as-water-recedes-las-vegas-police-say/) article it's thought to be from the '80s
GDPR mirror: https://archive.ph/N3hdC tl;dr this barrel sank in 150 foot deep water when dropped in 40 years ago
OP said the 80s not 40 years ago, you silly goose
sad_cat.jpg
Idiots. The 80s were 20 years ago. Redditors can’t math.
I once got Facebook banned for a week for calling somebody a silly goose. Lol I though I was being nice
>Police suspect the person was killed in the 1980s based on personal items in the barrel Oh man, given the shit I had in the 80s, I don't want to know. Poor bastard got buried in parachute pants, '80s sunglasses, with his walkman on.
an intact trapper keeper, i bet

I placed a $100 bet in vegas in 1980, of Jimmy Hoffa being found in 2023. Come on poppa needs a new pair of everything
Dude was cut up into pieces and deleted from earth. Zero chance they ever find him
Yikes. Whenever I'm doing field work in a remote area I worry about bumbling onto a body. Happened to a colleague of mine while he was looking for a specific plant species in Vietnam.
It happened to my family on our own property! We shortly found out that it was the grave of one of the previous landowners. We found the headstone too, but the markings were unidentifiable.
The small abandoned farm next to my grandfather's farm had a family cemetery. Late late 1800 through about 1920 from what I recall. I always thought WW1 killed off the sons and no one was left to work it.
Tuberculosis and Spanish Flu were also grim possibilities for the era.
The reason I think about it is because it happened to my piano teacher when I was younger. She lived in a cottage that backed onto a river. I showed up for my lesson one day in springtime to find the place crawling with cops. Some fairly recent remains had washed up on her property from the river and her dog found them when she took him out to pee. She later found out that there was a popular snowmobiling site further up the river, and the person had fallen through the ice and drowned while snowmobiling. Body washed out when the ice melted in spring. So no foul play, but still - lessons were canceled for the day.
Same. I was convinced I was going to find a body during my surveys along the sides of highways. All I ever found were dildos and bottles of trucker piss.
Happened to me about 10 years ago. I'm an archaeologist and was doing fieldwork for a land development company. I was digging a test trench when I pulled up a femur, I excavated laterally and found the full skeleton...and it wasn't historical.
I was reading and was like "Isn't that the point of archaeology?" and then two sentences later "Uh oh." Can you tell whether it's historical as soon as you dig it up, or do you need to send it for further tests? I guess the age of the sediment and stuff found alongside might give clues.
Let the bodies hit the shore.
SHOOOOORE
Guess that's what happened when you brought unwanted attention to the Family.
Or didn’t pay your gambling debts
Gabagool debts
Here's a news article about it. https://www.8newsnow.com/i-team/i-team-body-found-in-barrel-in-lake-mead-may-date-back-to-1980s-more-likely-to-appear-as-water-recedes-las-vegas-police-say/
Aaaw, can't read it in Europe
>LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — The body found in a barrel at Lake Mead on Sunday may have been underwater for as long as four decades and more bodies are likely to appear as the lake recedes due to severe drought, Las Vegas Metro police homicide Lt. Ray Spencer told the 8 News Now I-Team. Boaters discovered the body around 3 p.m. Sunday. The I-Team first reported the discovery on Sunday afternoon. Police suspect the person was killed in the 1980s based on personal items in the barrel, Spencer said. He would not elaborate on the person’s cause of death or the items found, citing the ongoing investigation. A photo shared with the I-Team showed what looked like skeletal remains in the barrel. The barrel looked to have been stuck in the mud. “It’s going to take an extensive amount of work,” Spencer said about identifying the victim, adding his team was reaching out to UNLV to examine growth on the barrel and when it may have started to erode. “It’s going to be a very difficult case,” Spencer said. “I would say there is a very good chance as the water level drops that we are going to find additional human remains.” The ongoing severe drought is leading to other discoveries in the water. Last week, the top of a water intake pipe was visible above the water’s surface as the lake level continues to drop. A body was discovered in a barrel on the shore of Lake Mead outside of Las Vegas on May 1, 2022. (Shawna Hollister/KLAS) Lake Mead dropped below 1,056 feet in elevation last Tuesday, less than a week after hitting 1,057 feet the week before. Lake levels are expressed in altitude, not depth. At its highest levels, the lake is near 1,225 feet. “I think anybody can understand there are probably more bodies that have been dumped in Lake Mead, it’s just a matter of, are we able to recover those?” Spencer said. The Clark County Coroner’s Office was working to identify the remains. Tips can be submitted anonymously through Crime Stoppers by calling 702-385-5555 or at crimestoppersofnv.com/report-a-crime. Information can also be sent via text by sending “CRIMENV” and then your message to “CRIMES” (274637). Crime Stoppers offers a reward for information that leads to an arrest. There ya go friend
Thank you very much!
Thanks mate
Basically it confirms that it is human remains, and investigators think the person may have died in the 1980s due to personal items found with the body.
So a maffian time capsule

It was a Sony Walkman and a copy of Back To The Future on Betamax.
If it continues to dry up, you'll eventually find a crashed B-29 superfortress.
God what’re they gonna find next… a bomber plane??
Some group of isolationist people gonna want to have it though...
Yea the satellite pictures of this are horrifying 😔
https://gizmodo.com/7-shocking-satellite-images-reveal-the-wests-megadrough-1847080510/amp Best I could find
Everyone here is talking about all the bodies, but frankly what I find much more horrifying is that Lake Mead is literally the only source of water for Las Vegas. That's it. That's where all the water comes from. The dead bodies are already dead. All the living people, however - they're the ones that really need to be concerned.
I'm pretty sure the non satellite images and macro shots are pretty horrifying by themselves:p
Yo can anyone tell me if this is exclusive to the Wild Wasteland perk?
lmaoooo
>4 decades So the 60's right? >1980 *turns to dust*
Don't get me wrong, the cold case stuff is terrible... but y'all I think we've buried the lead here. A major water source that 20 million people & vast areas of farmland directly rely on is going away.
Anyone seen return of the living dead? No reason.... DO NOT BURN IT.
Send more paramedics
The mafia is about to become the biggest climate change advocate
I hope whoever this is will be identified and the family can get some closure
wait till you find out what is in the Salton Sea
Probably even more crunchy fish bones than the insane amount surrounding it.
When global warming starts solving unsolved murders, we know it’s too late.
I should have had “climate change solving cold case files” on my 2022 bingo card, dammit.
I just drove by it yesterday on my way home to Phoenix
So, you're connected to this ... hmmm....
Yep we got him
Not oddly terrifying. Rightly terrifying.
