What famous "secrets" would you want to know?

MomtobeNJ · October 2013

The alien/Area 51 discussion got me thinking. If you had some magic power and you could learn the truth about any 3 famous secrets (or even something personal for you), what would they be?

1. Area 51 is a good one.

2. In general, what don't we know about 9/11. I think there is plenty.

3. What happened with OJ and Nicole Brown Simpson - like what REALLY went down, who else knows the truth, where are the clothes he wore, etc. I have been unnaturally curious about this whole story since I was in college. I actually did a huge term paper on the psychology behind jury selection because of it...I'm a dork.

It's cheating, but there are a ton of unsolved crimes I'd love to know the truth about. Natalie Holloway, Lacey Peterson, Jon Benet Ramsey,

I am pretty sure they know Scott Peterson did it? :-/

MomtobeNJ · October 2013

Yeah, but the details. With forensics being what they are today, how are some of these criminals so smart? Or are they ust lucky (like OJ, who had an entire team of people effing things up from Day 1)? So Scott Peterson...was he violent all along? Did they have a huge fight and he snapped? Was it totally premeditated? Where is the murder weapon, if there was one? How did he get her body out to the water without anyone seeing him? What if her body turned up sooner, did he have a plan?

I want to know what was going on between Hannah Anderson and James Lee Dimaggio before the murders.

I'm curious about your #2.

LOL. I am not a conspiracy theory fanatic, promise. I just think there may have been warning signs, other thwarted attempts, more information about other plans for that day, etc. Overall, I don't think it's a secret that the government keeps all kinds of juicy stuff under wraps because they don't want to cause widespread panic. Basically I want high security clearance, dammit!!!

Was JFK an inside job? 2 Shooters?!

THIS. I'm obsessed with JFK and that era.

What really happened the night Natalie Wood died. Did Christopher Walken hear/see anything.

MarisaKathleen · October 2013

I'm curious about Area 51 and 9/11 too. Not OJ though. :-)

The recipe to Bush's baked beans. Oh, not those kind of secrets?

MississippiCatfish · October 2013

I know this is going to make me look incredibly shallow, but I want to know what is real and what is fake on:

KUWTK
The Bachlelor/ette
The Hills
Girls Next Door (their relationships with Hef)

Who REALLY shot JFK?

What the hell is inside Area 51.

What is DS saying when he is babbling at me?!?

s/o The Hills Lauren Conrad wrote a series of books L.A. Candy that are a fictional version of The Hills. Quick and mindless reads.

Mine are all true crime related
1) Who was Jack the Ripper
2) Who killed Jon Benet Ramsay
3) Where is Trenton, and Kyron Horman
4) Who killed the Black Dahlia, Elizabeth Short
5) JFK
6) What happened to Natalee Holloway
I am sure there are a million more famous secrets I would like to know, but nothing comes to mind.

These!!!! My husband thinks I'm a closet psychopath because I am super interested in real life murder mysteries.

You have to also have a need to know. The clearance isn't enough.

Flamingemu · October 2013

I can't think f anything off the top of my head that wasn't mentioned. I studied criminology in college and loved learning the 'why' people commit the crimes they do.

Everything in the little black book in the Oval Office. You know. all that stuff that the new President has to learn his first day in office.

Yes, this is what I was thinking!

I like to imagine it's like Harry Potter, where a wizard shows up in the fire place all, "ok, everything you thought you knew is wrong!"

For those interested in Jack the Ripper, have you read the most recent thoughts on the case?

I watched a show the other day about the CIA and actual human experiments they did in an attempt to create a real life Manchurian candidate back in the day. I was glued.
I want to know things like that - projects our government is involved with now that we're none the wiser to.

One of my senior level classes was on spy technology. We covered this case. It was very interesting how advanced the technology is for the CIA and it becomes accessible to the public about 50 years later. Crazy!

I listen to a few 'stuff you should know' podcasts and recently, one was about the CIA and how they did a bunch of tests on citizens (unknowingly) with LSD. They pretty much held LSD parties, sat back, and watched what happened. Researchers are sure that at least a few people died as a result.

Crazy!

MK Ultra?? I researched that in grad school too.
