Only 5 hours later, Molly's family would discover that Molly had driven to her ex-boyfriend's house in the middle of the night and taken her own life. However, it quickly became apparent that something wasn't adding up. Molly's ex-boyfriend claimed to have slept through the gunshot, although it occurred only inches from him. The gun belonged to Molly's ex-boyfriend and was found underneath her body. And her ex-boyfriend's DNA was found under her fingernails. Was Molly's death really self-inflicted? Or was it the work of something sinister?

Well guys, it is officially Can't Make This Sh*t Up's 1-year anniversary! In celebration we decided to cover a case which is somewhat out of our normal coverage, the mysterious case of the Pittsburgh B-25 Ghost Bomber. On January 31st, 1956 a U.S. Airfare B-25 Bomber plunged into the Monongahela River in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and was never seen again. Nearly 70 years later, we still have no answers as to where the plane may have gone. Is it simply buried under the river's bottom? Was it secretly extracted by the military? Or could it even have been abducted by aliens?

Or had a healthy, young 17-year-old boy simply keeled over and died inexplicably?
