Every week Twisted Two's dives into a pair of uniquely terrifying true stories that are worthy of a more in depth look.#1 The West Mesa MurdersIn February of 2009 a woman was walking around a Mesa with her dog when she stumbled upon a human femur bone. She called the police and that led to one of the most shocking discoveries in New Mexicos History. Various scattered bones were collected over a 92-acre plot of land. The bones belonged to 11 different women that ranged between the ages of 15 and 32. It took the police over a year to identify each one of the victims, uncovering the likley hood that a serial killer was on the loose. Sitting outside of Albuquerque, New Mexico, West Mesa was a desert region back in the early 2000. It wasn't until 2006 when real estate developmers began putting up housing there. But the housing bubble burst in 2008, which caused many projects to halt unexpectedly overnight, sometimes even before anything could be built. Because of flooding in the area, a retaining wall was created that forced storm water into a detention pond. This is ultimately what helped pushed the buried bones up to the grounds surface. #2 Johnny GoschIn September of1982 in Iowa, 13-year old Johnny Gosch went out on his morning paper route . Normally he knocks on his father's door before heading out so he could accompany him but on this particular morning, he decided not to. Instead, he took the family's dachshund. Multiple paper carriers saw Johnny collecting his papers at The Des Moines Register. This would be one of the last times he would ever be seen. Shortly afterwards with a red wagon filled with newspapers in tow, along with his dog, Johnny was stopped by a man in a blue two-toned Ford Fairmont who was asking for directions. A neighbor saw the interaction through his bedroom window but he couldn't hear anything they were saying. Johnny was with another paper carrier and he apparently told one of the older boys that he was going home - visibly unnerved at the encounter with the unknown man. Little did he know that a second man already following him on foot. It's believed that the moment Johnny was out of sight from the boys, the man forced Johnny into the vehicle and took him away. The other paper carrier, a 16-year old who was with Johnny when the stranger in the car asked for directions said he lost sight of Johnny when he turned a corner to his home but he distinctly heard a dog growling, a car door slam shut and then the screeching of tires. He then saw the same blue car beating a red light and speeding off toward the Interstate. So these were two of the most frightening and scary stories around. The world can be a crazy place and Twisted Two's is sure to show you why.Support the show
