A lot of big news happened in 2011 ... and some of it only half-happened. The
Atlantic Wire
took a look at the most frustrating unanswered questions of the year,
and keeps its fingers crossed that 2012 will bring new details.
Highlights from its list of the year's 10 most nagging mysteries:
- What's the deal with the Long Island serial killer/killers?
In the course of searching for Shannan Gilbert, police ultimately found
10 bodies. Gilbert's body, recently found, was No. 11—except she died accidentally.
And authorities can't even agree whether one or two killers are
responsible for the deaths. Are police anywhere near catching this
guy(s)?
- If the West Memphis Three didn't do it, who did?
Another murder mystery. Three men in Arkansas imprisoned 18 years for
murders they insist they didn't commit were freed in August after
striking a deal with prosecutors. And they still maintain their
innocence. So who's the guilty party?
- What's wrong with John Edwards' health?
His lawyers say he's suffering from an undisclosed medical condition
and will be too sick to stand trial on Jan. 30. They want a 60-day
delay. Edwards doesn't really look sickly. So what's the mystery
illness?
- What were the pilots of Air France 447 thinking? The black box was recovered
this year, but it hasn't answered all the questions about what took the
Airbus 330, and the 228 people aboard, down. Why didn't the pilots
respond to the stall warnings? And why didn't the lead pilot take the
reins when things started going wrong?
