The weekend was Orthodox Easter, I was off the grid (and I’m still getting over a case of the crud), so for Monday I’ll share some of my favorite cases from the TSU archives. These are ones I think about from time to time, they’re fascinatingly mysterious. Who’s ready to play Sherlock 007?
In Putin’s Russia in 2010, the crash of Poland’s “Air Force One” took out Warsaw’s entire civilian and military leadership. The official verdict is that the tragedy was an accident – but was it?
The Chinese espionage and covert action threat to the West is like nothing our counterintelligence services have encountered before. Does it include murder, right here in North America?
The 2001 disappearance and murder of Chandra Levy, a beautiful young intern, remains Washington, DC’s biggest murder mystery. There are more than hints that her killing involved international intrigue and espionage. TSU goes where the MSM won’t.
The last National Security Agency deaths in the Vietnam War were four U.S. Air Force spooks who were declared dead in 1973 when their spy plane was shot down over Laos. However, their families think they survived the crash. What really happened to BARON 52?
Over six decades ago, a mysterious Texas couple suddenly disappeared without a trace. They seemed to fall off the face of the earth. Decades of investigation led nowhere. Were they Soviet deep-cover spies?
A tragic, now mostly forgotten 1985 plane crash in a remote corner of Canada gave the U.S. Army its deadliest day in peacetime, killing 248 American soldiers. Was in an accident or terrorism?
Brad Bishop is the Deep State’s most wanted man. In 1976, the counterintelligence officer turned diplomat annihilated his whole family just outside Washington, DC, and escaped, never to be found. What happened to him?
In 1972, somebody blew up a Douglas DC-9 as it flew over Central Europe, killing everyone abroad (save a stewardess who miraculously survived the crash). Nobody has even been charged with this ghastly crime. Whodunit?
A Middle Eastern spy service with close links to the U.S. Intelligence Community claims to have warned Washington about the 9/11 attacks just before they happened. An explosive claim – but is it true?
Over half of the U.S. Navy’s dead in the First World War were lost when the USS CYCLOPS went missing off the Chesapeake Bay. To this day the giant ship has never been found. What happened to her?
The 1978 assassination in London of Bulgarian dissident Georgi Markov with a poison umbrella was the Cold War’s most unique hit. We know that the Soviet KGB was ultimately behind the murder, but who fired the weird weapon?
The 1986 murder of Swedish Prime Minister Olof Palme remains one of Europe’s biggest mysteries. Stockholm’s official verdict on the assassination remains incomplete. There appears to have been an espionage dimension at work – but whose?
The destruction of an DC-9 jetliner off the Italian coast in 1980, killing 81, remains Italy’s biggest unsolved murder mystery. Was it the result of a secret war over the Mediterranean, or was an unnamed terrorist group responsible?
Over six decades after the crime, the Intelligence Community is still keeping secrets from the public about the JFK assassination. Especially NSA. What’s in those spy files that’s so sensitive, still? TSU breaks down what we know – and don’t know.
What if everything you know about terrorism is wrong? A two-part TSU deep-dive goes where others won’t, digging into some troubling unanswered questions about international jihadism – here and here.
