Marks Unexplained World Podcast - Episode 125: Genie Wiley (The Feral Child)

Contains distressing detail, listener Discretion is Advised

Genie Wiley is the pseudonym of an American feral child who was a victim of severe abuse, neglect, and social isolation.

Her circumstances are prominently recorded in the annals of linguistics and abnormal child psychology.

When she was approximately 20 months old, her father began keeping her in a locked room.

During this period, he almost always strapped her to a child's toilet or bound her in a crib with her arms and legs immobilized, forbade anyone to interact with her, provided her with almost no stimulation of any kind, and left her severely malnourished.

Her abuse came to the attention of Los Angeles County child welfare authorities in November 1970, when she was 13 years and 7 months old, after which she became a ward of the state of California.

The Shag Harbour UFO incident was the reported impact of an unknown large object into waters near Shag Harbour, Nova Scotia, a tiny fishing village on the Atlantic coast, on 4 October 1967.

The reports were investigated by various Canadian civilian (RCMP and Canadian Coast Guard) and military (Canadian Forces navy and air force) agencies as well as the U.S. Condon Committee.

The Chronicle-Herald and local radio stations reported a glowing object that was seen by many people who called their newsroom.

They reported witnessing strange glowing objects flying around Halifax at around 10:00 pm.

The Colt family incest case concerns an Australian family discovered in 2012 to have been engaging in four generations of incest beginning with a couple known as Tim and June Colt, who emigrated from New Zealand in the 1970s.

They all lived on a farm near Boorowa, New South Wales.

The family members' true identities remain unknown to the public, so the name "Colt" is a pseudonym used by New South Wales courts and government agencies.

The Springfield Three refers to an unsolved missing persons case that began on June 7, 1992, when friends Suzanne "Suzie" Streeter and Stacy McCall, and Streeter's mother, Sherrill Levitt, went missing from Levitt's home in Springfield, Missouri, United States.

All of their personal belongings, including cars and purses, were left behind.

There were no signs of a struggle except a broken porch light globe; there was also a message on the answering machine that police believe might have provided a clue about the disappearances, but it was inadvertently erased.

On July 8, 2020, American actress and singer Naya Rivera was declared missing after she failed to return from a boating excursion on Lake Piru near her home in California.

Shortly afterwards, her rented boat with her 4-year-old son, Josey Dorsey, was located. Dorsey was unharmed.

After her body was found, her death was ruled accidental, with the investigation determining Rivera exhausted herself saving her son's life in the water.

The public manner of the search and Rivera's celebrity status contributed to extensive media attention on developments before and after she was found.
