What Happened to Amy Billig? Miami 's Unsolved Mystery | M.P. Pellicer

Over 50 years ago Amy Billig, 17, was last seen hitchhiking on Main Highway in Coconut Grove, Florida. She was thumbing a ride to her father's office to get money from him, and she had plans to meet her friends later that day. Neither her father, her friends or as matter of fact anybody ever saw Amy after this moment in time.

The idea of a teenage girl jumping into a vehicle with a complete stranger seems totally alien, if not downright dangerous in today's world. However on March 5, 1974, it was a very popular way for girls in the hippy era to get around.

Lovely and Unlucky | M.P. Pellicer

Late on the afternoon of October 7, 1949, 26-year-old, bit-part actress Jean Elizabeth Spangler left her Los Angeles home, which she shared with her 5-year-old daughter and other family members. This was the last ever seen of pretty Jean.

Jean Elizabeth Spangler was born in Seattle, Washington on September 2, 1923 and had appeared in minor roles in Hollywood films and early television. She married Dexter Benner, had a daughter Christine born on April 22, 1944 and when the couple divorced he was granted custody of the child, due in part to Jean's infidelity during the marriage. Benner also cited her lifestyle as a party girl that did not coincide with being a good mother as part of the divorce suit. He denied Jean access to Christine.

Better Late Than Never | M.P. Pellicer

On December 3, 1994, a troubled 26-year-old hired a pilot to take her out in a small Cessna for what she claimed was a trip to take aerial photographs. It turned out to be a trip into oblivion. ​

The plane left Opa-Locka airport, and Christine Pascale had indicated an area close to her parent's home in SW Miami where she said she wanted to take the photographs. It was only when the pilot felt a gust of wind, and turned around that he saw her seconds before she leaped from the plane. It was then he realized what her real intentions had been all along

Is This Amelia? | M.P. Pellicer

Amelia Earhart disappeared July 2, 1937, on the last leg of a trans-world flight. Two years after their disappearance, Earhart and her navigator were declared dead. For all this time her fate has remained a mystery. Every few years someone claims to have found Amelia or her plane, but definitive proof has never been provided.

In 1938, a lighthouse on Howland Island was named for the aviatrix. This was the place where she was supposed to refuel before ending her travels after leaving Lae, New Guinea, however even though her radio transmission was heard by those on the island, she and her navigator Fred Noonan never arrived. The message heard was: "We must be on you but cannot see you — but gas is running low — have been unable to reach you by radio — we are flying at 1,000 feet."

Blame it on Bigfoot | M.P. Pellicer

Modern-day Sasquatch lore paints this cryptid as being very wary of man, and watching him only from afar, however Native American tribes for centuries have painted a different picture of Bigfoot. They describe how given the chance they would snatch up women or children and take them away never to be seen again.

Some tribes believed Bigfoot would take humans to feed on them, others believed they used them for sexual purposes.
