News stories/events you always wondered about

You know what they say - you never find out how they ended. What are some you've always wondered about?

Do they say that? Because its not hard to figure out how a news story ends. You just have to follow it beyond the first day. Even mysteries like the missing Malaysia flight are making forward progress.

Er, well, you often don't find out how news stories end if you don't continue to watch the news or fire up Google, so I guess that's kind of true. Everything's a mystery if you don't put in any effort to find out what happened. Do you mean stories that are unresolved in real life?

There was one I wondered about for years because I was quite young when it happened and didn't have access to internet. Since then, I have looked it up.

But, it was a pizza guy who had a bomb around his neck and robbed a bank. While the police had him in custody (sitting on a street), the bomb was detonated and he died. I remember watching that on the news.

And then nothing. I guess because I just never saw the news for it. Of course, the story did end, I just didn't hear about it.

My neighbor from across the street shot her husband and was charged with (I think?) 2nd degree murder. From all the stories (aka neighborhood gossip) I heard, it was likely self-defense. But our local news reported only her arrest, and I have no idea what happened after that. No follow-up that she was acquitted, or that the DA declined to press charges, or anything whatsoever. I can't find her name in the local Superior Court database, so I'm guessing she's a free woman. But I'll never know for sure unless I run into her at Arby's or something.

My partner's train was cancelled the other day. She spoke to a very shaken person on the platform who said someone on the crossing ahead had died. The train staff were acting traumatised. Then I talked to my mother, who said she'd been on that train, it had suddenly braked, she looked out and saw a spilled handbag with tens of 50 dollar notes all strewn across the road...

There was nothing about it in the news. Absolutely nothing. I'm pretty sure it was a suicide, there's a policy of not reporting them... but I wonder what happened and why...

It's more of a footnote now, it seems, but I wondered what happened to the man who was strip-searched (as in, stripped entirely naked) in the streets during the Boston Marathon bombing manhunt but was apparently not either of the brothers. I've only found reference to it as fodder for conspiracy theorists, and a sole Business Insider article asking who he was in the end. It's reasonable to think that he resembled one of them, but I feel like it raises huge questions as far as... well, strip-searching an innocent man (this is where conspiracy seems to come in).
