The audio clip discusses five unsolved modern mysteries, each one more intriguing and bizarre than the last.
1. **Lost Mobile Phone Mystery (2014)**: A boy finds a cell phone in a taxi without a password. The phone has a video recording of a gruesome massacre at sea. The boy immediately calls the police, who are unable to identify the perpetrators from the video. Theories suggest the crew of the sunken boat were Somali pirates who were hijacked, or that the men were robbers who were killed in self-defense. The case remains unsolved.
2. **Last Message Mystery**: Henry Ma, after a night out with friends, calls his wife and brother, claiming he's been shot. The calls are recorded and the audio is fragmented, leaving many unanswered questions about his fate. Henry's body is later found in a lake, with no gunshot wounds. Theories suggest he was chased and fell into the lake, or he was cornered and killed.
3. **Sherlock Holmes Expert's Death**: Richard Greene, an expert on Sherlock Holmes, is found strangled and surrounded by teddy bears in his bed. The manner of his death is unusual, using shoelaces and a wooden spoon. Greene had expressed opposition to the sale of some Sherlock Holmes files at a private auction. This and his strange behavior before his death lead to various theories about his death.
4. **Fireplace Mystery**: George Maddux, an 18-year-old, disappears in 2008 and is found seven years later in a fireplace in a cabin in the woods, naked except for a shirt. His clothes are folded nearby. Theories suggest he wanted to steal something from the cabin and got stuck in the chimney, or he was lured into the cabin and killed.
5. **Lost Heart Mystery**: In mid-2016, a heart is found in a plastic bag near a gas station. The heart appears to be well-preserved, suggesting it was preserved with formaldehyde. No one reported a missing heart, leading to theories that it was left as a gift, inheritance, or auction purchase. Theories also suggest it could have been donated to a hospital or someone wanted it out of their house as soon as possible.
The narrator concludes by wishing viewers a merry Christmas and hopes they continue to chase their dreams, despite the challenges life presents.
