On September 2, 1999, a man named Cohen just bought a house in a small town in New York, USA. He was in great enthusiasm for decoration that day. When the worker was cleaning up the basement, he found a large iron bucket in the corner, full of dust. The worker shouted, "Boss, should this iron bucket be moved away?"
Cohen responded, "Take all the original owner's things."
After receiving the order, the worker put on gloves and prepared to move the iron bucket. When he moved, he did not move at all, and the iron bucket was extremely heavy. Helplessly, the workers could only call down a few people upstairs before the four of them moved the iron bucket to the yard at the door.
Cohen called the trailer and was about to throw the iron bucket directly into the garbage dump. Cohen thought to himself: "It's so heavy, is there something valuable inside?"
Then he pried open the iron bucket with a tool, and a pungent smell came out of the iron bucket in an instant. Cohen pinched his nose with his hand, put on the iron bucket, looked inside, and found a corpse inside. Who would have thought that the house he just bought turned out to be a haunted house? Cohen hurriedly called the police.
A population disappearance case that had been covered with for 30 years has been revealed, which is also a famous iron barrel corpse mystery in the United States at the end of the 20th century. Behind the tragedy is the darkness of human nature, which is also worthy of our reflection.
The police conducted a detailed inspection and found that the deceased was a pregnant woman
Cohen hurriedly called the police, and the police arrived at the scene soon after. The surroundings were filled with people watching the fun and talking. When the police arrived, they gave up a path.
The policeman walked to the iron bucket with his mask and checked it. A dark corpse was found, most of which had rotted, mixed with unknown liquid, and stinking.
Police investigated on the scene
Then the police asked Cohen in specific questions. Under Cohen's leadership, the police inspected the basement of the iron barrel, without any abnormalities. After a search, there was no other relevant evidence except the iron barrel. The police immediately took the iron barrel back to the police station to see if something could be obtained in the iron barrel that proves the identity of the deceased.
The police first measured the iron barrel and found that it weighed 160 kilograms. Later, a makeup box and a telephone recorder were found inside the iron barrel.
From these evidences, the deceased should be a woman, but these relics have almost no effect on the case. The only useful telephone record book has been seriously eroded and can only be professionally repaired to see if it can be found in it.
After the body was taken out, the forensic doctor found a metal pendant on the body, which was kept in good condition. After cleaning, he vaguely saw a line of words engraved on the pendant: to Patrice .
The relic of the deceased
Could it be that Patrice is the name of the deceased? The police were delighted and tried to investigate the name Patrice. The police then retrieved information of the missing persons and found out whether there was a woman named Patrice, but found nothing, and the case returned to the starting point.
Not long after, the forensic doctor's autopsy report came out. The deceased was a pregnant woman and was killed when she was pregnant in September! The deceased had multiple fractures on the back of his head, and he should have suffered several severe blows in his head before his death, which is also the cause of his death.
Who would be so cruel to a young and pregnant woman? It can be seen that the murderer hated the deceased very much.
Judging from the facial bone contour of the deceased and the gold teeth, the deceased is likely to be South American. South Americans like to inlaid gold teeth, which just explains that they have found nothing when they investigated the names on the pendants before.
But it is almost impossible to find a foreign woman by just one name, and it is not certain that it is the name of the deceased. Obviously relying on this clue won't work. From this point of view, the case seems to be confusing again.
Iron Bucket with the Body Hidden
The police put the target on the clues found from the Iron Bucket. After some inspection, it was determined that the liquid in the iron barrel was a chemical dye. The other substances remaining inside are some plastic products that have not been completely corroded.Moreover, the name and number of the chemical factory printed on the iron barrel are still clearly visible. If you can find this chemical plant, you may find new clues.
On the other hand, the police also raised a question: "Who put this iron bucket in the basement? Such a heavy iron bucket would definitely not be the murderer who hid the person inside and moved it to the basement of his home."
So there is only one possibility, that is, the murderer made an appointment with the deceased at home, then killed the deceased at home, and then hid his body in the iron bucket in the basement.
The relic of the deceased
record book was repaired, the police locked in the target
, so the police sent people all the way to investigate the information on the iron bucket and investigate the past owners of the house. The police who searched for the iron barrel quickly found the factory that was written on the iron barrel. Fortunately, the factory was still open. The police then provided the number on the iron barrel. The iron barrel was a batch in 1965. In this way, the case happened at least 30 years ago, and the iron barrel was actually covered in the basement for 30 years.
The police who then searched the house and also got important information: the house was built in 1960 and has served as four homeowners. According to time calculations, it is obvious that the first homeowner is the most suspected.
After investigation of the latter homeowners, they all obtained the same result: the iron bucket was already there after the first homeowner moved in, which further verified the suspicion of the first homeowner.
Howard Elkins
Then the police investigated the first homeowner. The person was named Howard Elkins . In the 1960s, he ran an plastic products factory . Because plastic products were to be dyed and processed, a large amount of chemical dyes would be purchased. In this way, dyes, plastic products, iron barrels and other evidence related to the deceased can match Howard.
But this is just a police suspicion, and it cannot be determined that Howard is the murderer.
Not long after this, the phone recorder was repaired by professionals and some of the recorded contents were restored. The police found the names and phone numbers of Howard and the two people named Kasey . And he found the deceased in the record book and left a very strange sentence: Sorry, this is the fact. It seems to be apologizing to someone.
But no matter what, based on this information, the police further judged that Howard is inseparable from the death of the deceased, and who is this Casey?
Repaired phone book
found the deceased's best friend and approached the truth of the case
The police tentatively called Casey on the phone book. Unexpectedly, the phone dialed, and a female voice came from the other end of the phone. After the police revealed their identity and reason, they learned that the woman answering the phone was Casey. The police were both surprised and surprised, and immediately asked Casey's address and drove to find out the situation.
Kaycey has not moved for more than 30 years and has never changed her phone number. Only then did the police contact her in time. After the police informed Casey of the situation of the case, Casey was extremely excited and immediately said the name of the deceased: Renner Angelica Maloquin .
It turns out that Casey and Reiner are good friends. According to Casey's recollection, Reiner came to New York from El Salvador in 1966. Because they are from other places, the two often go to oral English tutoring classes. The two were about the same age, and Reiner was away alone, and had no relatives and friends around him. Whenever they encountered any problems, they would go to Casey to discuss. After a while, they gradually became familiar with each other and became best friends who could talk about everything.

Suddenly one day, Reiner found Casey and told her that she was pregnant. When Casey heard the news, she was also shocked because she knew that Reiner had never had a boyfriend. However, Reiner said that the information about the child's father should be kept confidential and that his lover was an extramarital affair.
Kaysey knew that the simple Reiner must have been deceived, so he dissuaded her from leaving the man.However, Reiner was obviously blinded by the momentary feelings, and she said that the man would divorce and marry herself.
Seeing that Reiner made up his mind, Casey couldn't stop him anymore, but just told her that she could ask her for help if she had something to do. At 9 months of pregnancy, Reiner had to confess everything to the man and his wife. Reina first called the man's wife. After the man's wife learned about it, she hung up the phone without saying a word. Reiner soon received a call from the man, scolding Reiner on the phone, and threatening to kill her if he came to harass his family again.

Renner could only ask for Casey's help. After receiving the call, Casey decided to go to Reina's house to comfort her. When Casey came to the doorstep, he found that Reina was not at home and the phone was turned off. The next day, Reiner was still unable to contact him, so Casey came to the police station again, hoping that the police could help search for it, but the police did not care too much when they learned that Casey and Reiner had no reason, and Casey was unable to provide Reiner's specific and effective information.
Renner is like the world has evaporated, because there are no relatives here, and Casey went to report the case to the police but refused to accept it. Except for Casey knows she is missing, Reiner seems to have been forgotten by the world.
Speaking of this, Casey choked up again. According to Casey's account, the police judged that the man Casey was talking about was probably Howard.
The house where the body was found was discovered
was about to take samples, and the man committed suicide
So he investigated Howard. At this time, Howard was nearly 70 years old and had already moved to Florida . When the police came to his residence, found Hodward, and asked if he knew a girl named Reiner when he was running the factory. Howard's eyes flashed with panic, dodged, and denied it vigorously.
Then the police took out a photo of the iron barrel and asked him if the factory had used this iron barrel before. Howard glanced at it and said that his factory had never used this kind of iron barrel. It was obvious that Howard was lying and he was hiding it. Because the dye factory previously said it had provided this dye to Howard's plastic factory.

And when the police asked him to cooperate with him to collect a sample of his DNA to rule out that he had nothing to do with the murder, he was rejected by Howard and drove the police out of the house. Based on the evidence available and the police questioning Howard's performance, the police judged that Howard should be the culprit in the killing of Reiner.
Then the police applied for compulsory collection of Howard's DNA samples and compared them with the DNA of the fetus in the corpse. However, before the application was approved, the police received news that Howard had committed suicide by raising a gun. Later, the police collected Howard's DNA and compared it with the fetus in Reina's womb, and confirmed that the fetus was Howard's son.

This also confirms a series of speculations by the police that Howard has a major relationship with Reina's death. At the scene of Howard's death, the police found no other suspicious phenomena. In the end, the case was concluded with Howard's suicide for fear of guilt.
Many people have questions about Howard's suicide so quickly, as if he was trying his best to hide something, but the reason behind this also disappeared with Howard's death. But the only thing that is certain is that Howard has nothing to do with this case. As for whether he is the main culprit or an accomplice, he found nothing in the end, which became a mystery.
Report of this incident
Conclusion
The victim Reina has received comfort at this point, at least Reina did not disappear into this world silently like dust. As the saying goes, the net of heaven is vast and vast, and it is not missed. Justice may be late, but it will not be absent.
The most pitiful thing is that when the police contacted Reiner's mother, who was over 90 years old, they waited for their daughter to go home for decades, but they waited for information about their daughter's death. The elderly in their 80s still have to bear the pain of sending black hair.

So in terms of emotions, we need to learn to love ourselves first, so that we will not fall into those sweet love traps. If you always rely on others, a simple love brain may end up with scars and even destroy your entire life, which is not worth the loss.
