Another post is going viral on Reddit's AITA, and this time people are a little are divided on whether or not the author of the post is in the wrong. One thing has been gathered from the story, however, and that's that OP's wife was a cheater who is now sitting with the consequences of her actions. The author of the post shared with Reddit users that he's been married to his wife for six years, sharing a five-year-old son between the two of them. However, he'd just learned two weeks ago that he isn't the actual father of the five-year-old boy. He had suspicions, and after secretly getting a paternity test, he found out that his suspicions were true, which meant that his wife indeed cheated on him a year into their marriage. "I immediately confronted my wife and called her a wh*re in my anger and many other names, she started crying and explained that she hid it because she didn't want to break our happy family of 3," the man wrote. He decided he wa
Due to the receding water level at Lake Mead, the shoreline continues to expand — and with this expansion comes the unearthing of things that once sat at the bottom of the lake. Some of those things were intended to be forgotten permanently — such as a barrel containing skeletal remains that were discovered on Sunday. The identity of the remains hasn’t been figured out yet, but detectives in Clark County, Nevada say that the barrel contained a homicide victim from decades ago.
According to Law & Crime, the skeletal remains inside the barrel are that of a man who was shot dead sometime in the 1970s or the 1980s. The identity of the man isn’t known yet, but authorities believe the shoes — Kmart brand — may help in finding out who he was. Other items were collected from the rotting, rusted barrel but the nature of the items aren’t being publicized by police. These items, presumably, may be evidence linked to the man’s identity.
Disturbingly, authorities in Clark County have warned that more similar discoveries may be made as Lake Mead continues to dry-up. Whether more barrels have been confirmed found or not hasn’t been addressed by authorities, but the rumor mill in Las Vegas and Boulder City is spinning like crazy — with some folks claiming that other barrels have been spotted in the area near the lake.
Is the Lake Mead barrel body a victim of mob violence?
Everyone loves a good mob story — especially Las Vegas locals. It’s also no secret that the area has a rich history of mob affiliation. The famous Mob Museum in Las Vegas wouldn’t exist if that weren’t true. It’s also no secret that mob killings took place in the area, and both Lake Mead and the vast desert that surrounds the entire valley have been used as dumping grounds for the mob. Does that mean the barrel located on Sunday is associated with mob violence?
As authorities have declared, the skeletal remains found in the barrel appear to belong to a homicide victim from between the mid 1970s to the early 1980s. The height of the area’s mob rule was between the 1920s and 1970s. The so-called downfall of mob rule in Clark county supposedly came between the 1970s and 1980s. That would put the homicide of this unidentified individual toward the absolute end of the era that organized crime controlled Las Vegas and the area around it. It’s very much possible that this unidentified person died due to mob violence.
Furthermore, disposing of bodies in barrels was widely practiced by mob members. This is such a known detail about mob history, that even Wikipedia has an entry covering it on this page about general barrel murders. With the victim being a male who died from being shot, the possibility of this being a case of historic mob violence becomes even greater.
There are countless missing people whose cases remain unsolved. Thirteen men are listed as missing on the NAMUS database in Clark County, Nevada disappeared between the years 1971 and 1984. Foul play was suspected in many of those cases. Could the barrel at Lake Mead contain the remains of one of these men? It’s possible.
