Origin Mysteries

Have you ever been passed a wreck that had just happened with a bunch of other people around you? During that time did you look around to see if someone else had called the police? Possibly even seeing a few people on their phones and assumed they did, so you decided to leave? But what if no one actually did and because of this that person in the wreck actually didn’t get help in time. 

This method of thinking was labeled the Bystander Effect. Which basically comes down to that its more likely for someone to call the police if there are only a few witnesses. In a large group, people take cues from others or they think someone else will take action, so they don’t have to. One of the first victims of such effect was a young woman named Catherine Genovese or as her friends called her "Kitty". According to police she was violently stabbed numerous times, robbed and sexually assaulted, even though over 38 people knew what was happening, they simply did nothing.

The Carbon Copy Murders

Whit Monday is a popular holiday for a lot of different European countries and is celebrated the day after Pentecost. On this day, that can change depending on the year, everyone is usually off of work and get together with their friends and family in order to celebrate. This day is particularly important to a small town in Birmingham, England call Erdington. This beautiful town has a lot of history to it because it has existed since the 9th century. Unfortunately some of its history is quite dark and in 1975 it seemed to get even darker. On May 27th of that same year, on Whit Monday, the body of a 20 year old girl named Barbara Forrest was found. Her clothes were ripped, and her body and neck were both severely bruised. It wasn’t until the lead investigator got to the scene and saw the victims face that this murder changed into one of Erdington biggest mysteries. This is the story of the Carbon Copy Murders, Welcome to Origin Mysteries.
