I have JJ on two phones. I adore the game. Its very addictive but you can make new friends, if you join a team. It's very strategic, if you like to lose your brain. You can spend money but, only if you're impatient. I'm impatient, so I do but loads of players don't. Join a team and save coins for large items, is my tip. Don't concentrate on 1 x 1s at all! They're you're biggest nightmare!
1982?! Thumbnail looks like 1882.
It's not surprising for my hometown actually.
Took the words right outta my mouth! Literally thought I was about to watch a Victorian story, what the hell!
I was going to say she looked like Yoko Ono, from 100 years ago. 😂
Maybe it's one of those photos people have done when on vacation, where they have costumes from different time periods for people to put on & get their picture taken? Idk... just a thought. 🤷♀️
@@daynasafranek7807then you apparently have never seen Yoko Ono.
That's like seeing a picture of Shia LaBeouf and saying he looks like John Lennon from 100 years ago. The 2 people look nothing alike. Much like this lady and Yoko.
I like this channel because they do videos on topics nobody’s done before. It’s not the same old stories over and over again
This was literally lifted from Unsolved Mysteries. Most of these channels get all of their material from UM.
I remember this case being covered on "Unsolved Mysteries," way back in the 90s: the show's description of Hugh's "work-when-I-feel-like-it" lifestyle and Dian's propensity for serving dog food stuck out in my mind. Neither one of them seemed at all "right" in their minds, and hearing that it all ended in disaster, and likely murder, wasn't much of a shock.
I wonder how he liked the casseroles. Did she have any. Dog food these days is very expensive hmmmmmmm.
Me too!!
From this video’s description the wife seemed to enjoy annoying her husband too much. And loved her dogs more than him. Why did they even marry?
They both seemed like they came out of a different century.
I wouldn't put too much weight on Hugh 'lying' about the dog leashes. He seems like the kind of naïve guy the cops could easily fast-talk into contradiction in the (unrecorded) interview room.
I was thinking the same thing. It's easy to forget exact details that may not seem important in the moment.
Cops are always looking to pin crimes on an easy target, get credit and close cases.
Love to listen to your voice. Very interesting content. X
It is a mystery indeed it's always good to see cases I have not seen before thank you DC 👏👏💕
SOMEONE FIND ME SCOOBY DOO, A STEAK, AND A SQUEAKING CHICKEN TOY DANG IT! WE'LL GET THOSE DOGS TO TELL US WHAT THEY SEEN!!!
😂😂😂
Yeah, I think Hugh snapped and killed her. The disappearance, I'm not sure about. I feel like the fuel line that was missing is probably the key to finding out if it was a voluntary disappearance, or a homicide.. what can you do with a fuel line? I'm leaning towards a voluntary disappearance, but him going without resources makes no sense, even if he is a survivalist.
He could’ve had a survivalist friend pick him up after he made his truck look like it broke down. Maybe he felt heat from police or his own guilt. Weird no body has ever been found!!
I feel like he voluntarily disappeared and the disconnected fuel line was done after he parked the truck to throw everyone off.
I don't think he killed her. Divorce is relatively easy in California, and free-spirits like Hugh and Dian wouldn't have cared what other people thought of them if they did get divorced. For that matter, it would have been the easiest thing in the world for one or the other to just leave and not even bother with the legalities. When someone with no prior history of violence suddenly murders, it's because they feel trapped in some way--at that moment they don't see any other way out. Hugh just sounds mildly annoyed, but not so annoyed as to make too much of it.
OR are jealous because new romantic party enters - jealousy or fear of loss of income to pay rent, etc. or feels betrayed, or flaunting new relationship in his face. There are multiple reasons why a lover/spouse can become enraged/angry and do the unthinkable.What about retirement money or savings - might have been leaving him so he freaked? I'm old - don't let that 'hippy' thing influence you - they were same as rest of us, except possibly multiple partners that OFTEN resulted in violence. Human behavior never changes.
This was a baffling case. I feel for their families not having closure after all this time.
Hello from Louisville Kentucky my friend ❤❤ Great job as always ❤❤
much to unpack.
*would a freelance fisherman & survivalist would eat dogfood casserole?
*he borrowed tools before he left. were they still in the truck? that would be useful to know.
A: his fuel line failed when he was driving to the job where tools were needed. So he took it in order to show a local garage what he needed to replace& headed there on foot without realizing YET that hed dropped his keys.
B: with those tools& his fishing skills& survivalist savvy, he could find a jillion ways to vanish. But why? He was guilty& fled capture? He was innocent but feared false imprisonment?
Aww that's my neck of the woods. Not many bad things happen in Morro Bay ..😢 BUT a lot of people don't want to be found and California is a good place to be "lost".
The West Coast, in general, is kinda easy to get lost in. Lots of mountains and remote, heavily forested areas. Prolly why serial deep sixers like it out that way.
I happen to be playing June's Journey as you started talking about it. Love it.
Love cases from this time period. More please!
I first heard this story on unsolved mysteries.I just hope there are answers soon
Awww, Morro Bay is close to home for me. 🙂 It's always fun to hear about places we're familiar with. 😊
The thumbnail pic of them is really cool. Both of their disappearances were mysterious and may never be solved. So strange.
Those remote coastal California towns fascinate me. It's interesting how so many out that way can stay largely undeveloped and fairly backwards...given the over-development of the rest of the state.
Wow sad story. Thanks for sharing.👍
Thanks for another intriguing episode. This is indeed a sad and confusing case. I am of the opinion that Hugh may have had something to do with his wife's murder. He certainly had a motive. On the other hand, his disappearance makes no sense unless he too was a victim. With so little information to go on, I'm not surprised that this tragic case is still unsolved.
So maybe if we start this story out a bit differently.
A woman who was isolated with only her husband and dogs for company, with the community shunning her because of tales of abuse from the husband, dies mysteriously. Strangled by a dog leash.
Hits different.
Maybe he thought he brought the leash away with him.
And maybe someone else thought of it this way, too.
Or let's start this story out a bit differently. Woman does her best to destroy her man. God takes mercy on the man and quietly exits this terrible woman from the face of the earth. And to further the blessing, the man has a bout of amnesia and wanders off into the sunset to start a new life free from any bad memories of that terrible woman. Hits different, eh?
They look like Rasputin and Cosmina Wagner. I’m sorry.
It's hard to believe that photo was taken in the 80s. It looks like the first photo ever taken!
🙄
I literally thought that’s who they were when I went past the thumbnail quickly
They do!!
Why you sorry lol
Alpo Cassarole sounds deeee-licious !
Evening all 😊
So was Dian murdered, or did she die of an aneurism?
Its so beautiful at Moro Bay
Wow, when I was younger, my dad would take me on trips to Morro Bay for a few weeks a year. Never heard of this case!
I am level 695 on Junes Journey. I have been playing it for years! I would recommend playing it on a tablet or PC, as some hidden objects would be hard to find on a phone. They can be rather small and blend in to the scenery. Also, it's not just one island you get to decorate. I currently have 4 islands, but I haven't finished unlocking all parts of the 4th. I would also suggest to NOT try to do all the events. You need to decorate to advance, and some events require you to advance to win the prize. If you want a pretty island, you will want to take your time. My islands are clogged with decorations I don't like because I was trying too hard to do all the events. Oh, and there are days when one event ends and another begins just a few hours later.
Thanks for this case.
Wow 😮 what a story that goes back many many years. Very strange indeed that he didn't report her missing makes one wonder could he have been so innocent. Very strange behaviour. Quite a difficult one to solve. 👍👍
What year is this? Why does this look like a pic from the 19th century?
1986 I think
1982
Photo might be from a Vintage Photo Kiosk at an amusement park??
She disappeared in 1982.
That was fashionable in the 1970s
It doesn't make sense for him to lie about the dog leashes. If he did it he knew he used a leash so the police would know he used a leash and know the dogs had no leashes. Why lie? It doesn't seem unusual until the lie. This suggests to me he didn't do it. Did he lie to give police that same impression?
On the one hand there is no real evidence to show he did it but I believe he was absolutely capable of setting his truck up to look just suspicious enough to keep people always guessing and maybe it worked. He was a person who could survive off grid forever.
I agree, and I think it's possible that the dogs came home one with, and one without, the leashes. (That feels like horrible sentence structure, but we aren't here for an English lesson after all.)
If the dogs returned on their own, and 12 days later she was found, he could easily have forgotten that they were not similar in that way. Remember, these are the dogs that ate better than Hugh, and he might not have seen anything out of the ordinary (aside from them coming home without Dian).
I would also speculate that, considering the era, their ages, and a few other factors, that drugs were involved in some way. It's even possible that Hugh had a smuggling sideline. A lot of fishermen, especially the solos, were thus engaged during the late 70s to early 80s.
This case is super bizarre. The pictures of them look like they're from the early 1900's. Maybe they skipped town or attempted to and never got that far.
Hugh most likely fled to evade the authorities
After 4 years?
@@sir243_simr That’s what I was thinking. Like why after 4 years? But I mean….he could have I guess. It’s such a weird case!
A lot of times the police just don’t have enough evidence to charge someone with murder, even if they think he did it.
Sometimes it takes years to solve murder cases. Maybe he felt they were closing in on him.
There is no evidence of him being pressured by authorities.
Hugh got rid of a headache and dipped afterwards. Left his truck and belongings in a manner that created more questions. The gave rise of a larger conspiracy outside of who may have murdered his wife (distraction tactic). He hiked several miles. Hooked up with a sympathetic friend who gave him a lift to parts unknown. And he lived the rest of his life in peace before he eventually died from natural causes. After witch his body was buried(as planned beforehand) by someone he had a close ties with, at an unmarked location.
All of the above is just my assumptions as narrated by Robert Stack imagined in an Unsolved Mysteries update.
That screenshot pic looks really weird and creepy almost fake
Good story
Looks like he disappeared on his own. Or did someone set it up to look that way?
Whoa! The Rake as in The Decemberists?
I guess her dog obsession was unrequited as her dogs returned without her. ☕🐸
0:42 That rock looks a bit in it's shape like Sydney opera house 😊😊
Morro Rock is an epic big lump!
I thought it was the Ailsa Craig at first!
When I was a kid I always thought it looked like a baby Rock of Gibraltar or gibraltar's little cousin.
Maybe his wife had a lover who wanted revenge for him killing the woman they both loved? A love triangle, its possible if she disappeared for days on end
Love Moro Bay. I almost moved there
I live about 30 miles from Morro Bay. It's a really cool area.
2:56, 3:31, the man looks like Tolstoy and Rasputin, respectively.
What a lovely couple. Alas, true love never runs smooth. *SIGH*
Dang, 51 going on 71; poor guy must've had a really hard life.
I know it’s seems unlikely but something makes me feel that Hugh was responsible for her death… but in a completely unrelated incident, someone else is responsible for his. He’s probably a way more shadier character and had way more shadier acquaintances than what people realize.
Morro Bay was so beautiful back then, it still is but things do get spoiled with time and people. That's where my family and I would vacation every year that whole area is beautiful San Luis Obispo, Pismo Beach where the massive sand dunes are, and send Simeon where Hearst Castle is, William Randolph Hearst whom Citizen Kane was made about, and his ,$prawlng hillside estate when I was a kid there were still wild Zebras in the hills, that I personally saw many times, in the hills of the area .they escaped from Hearst's private zoo decades earlier,
Bro is living in Gulfport MS…. I saw him Wednesday 9-25-2024 asked him to take my picture he declined and declined money we tried to give him… he was on the beach as a homeless old man!!
There are too many possibilities to narrow down Hugh's disappearance.Wish were given some that were not possible.
Hugh was known as Turtle 🐢 for his unconventional working style.
What happened to the dogs?
I actually understand her…I prefer dogs over humans..😜
Indeed. I've never been stabbed in the back by a Persian or a collie.
Us too to be honest 🤣
@@DarkCuriosities 😜
It does look like it's from the 1800"s
He did it then disappeared.
Posting something so algorithm believes me when I say I like something.
I grew up very near there
Can you please talk about some solved cases please 🙏....
These unsolved ones aren't as satisfying ...❤
We have covered more solved cases recently! We are working on more 😄
I luv June's Journey!
Hugh 3 fingers! Spent time in Morro Bay. Heard rumors. Very sketchy.
all the stuff he left in the truck could be a decoy. A guy like that would surely have multiples of each item listed. He could have took 1 of each& left 1 of each. The lunch is a different story. It means he either meant to return soon or wanted to make it LOOK that way.
Thank you Sherlock. 😊
Nice plug for California which is pretty much the worst state to live in out of 50!
Hugh was my uncle. I wish this case could be solved!
He is in Gulfport MS. My husband and I wanted a picture by a sign, saw a homeless man on the beach so we tried to give him $5 to take our picture. Old man looked just like Hugh, but he declined and he said he didn’t know how to use a cellphone. We then said thank you anyways and tried to give him money, he also declined the money !! This was an old homeless man who liked just like Hugh in the eyes and beard. Telling you now it’s Hugh.
The dogs did it...Diane should not have shared their food with Hugh!! Revenge is sweet says the dogs.
I know the area of Morro Bay and Cambria quite well; it’s on the way to Big Sur.🦦 I can’t help but think Hugh took Dian out; the lie about the dog leashes on when Dian didn’t return is telling. Hugh wasn’t concerned about Dian missing for approx. 12 days? She had a pattern of leaving for days could be a big fib. Strangling is what cowards do to females. Hugh’s disappearance is more of a mystery. A cut fuel line is fascinating. Sounds ominous. Thank you DC for another well done episode.
the fuel line wasnt cut... it was missing. he took it to show the garage what he wanted to replace or to make it look like he was planning to visit a garage.
now about all those things he left in the truck: a survivalist& pro fisherman might own multiples of those things& could leave them as a decoy. i bet he didnt know he dropped his keys
@@tonyborelli. Hi Tony, Thank you for the clarification. Great observation. So you believe he is out living his life elsewhere.
@@KohalaLover not necessarily. . i think he's a guy who can fix his own truck if he only had the part. REmember: he borrowed tools before he left. The most logical thing is he went off to get a replacement & meant to return. but it would certainly be a clever ruse
@@tonyborelli. Ah, ok. Thanks.
I'm from Monterey County but live near Morro Bay now. The central coast is beautiful!
I'm not sure about the dog leash statement suggesting guilt. If he had used the dog leash to kill her, he wouldn't have said that the dogs returned with them on. Right?
They look like a couple of old hippies.
If my wife fed me dog food they'd find her in same state.... tf
Maybe his wife's ghost got him😂
The sweet sounds of Dark Curiosities.
❤❤❤❤❤
Hugh has guilty written all over him I mean it should be obvious really
Glad you aren't a detective or judge.
@@chain872005lol yep.
He looks like an aging hippy: a type not usually prone to violence.
It's highly unlikely he's alive...RIP🎉
Foul play seems unlikely, why would someone who got away with the murder of dian go after hugh when he was baring the brunt of suspicion not just from the Police but also some of the locals.
Both of these individuals did not seem right, regardless so i suppose you could Put Hughs change of story down to the fact he wasn't so bright, misremembered and over compensated by lying after he was caught.
I believe he could've ran, i know people seem stumped as to why he would do that after 4 years but that's 4 years of varying degrees of suspicion and these videos dont have the context of how he was treated by those around him nor the weight that had on him. Id probably want to up and leave if my town thought i had brutally murdered my spouse, he probably took on a new name and moved away.
I wonder what happened to the dogs?
Must say his eyes dont look brown
Victims and Family and Friends ❤❤❤
He got Fed up with her and her ways.
Thank you 👍
Their money.
Hey hey U’z 💚
Yeah ❤ I remember this story from unsolved mysteries 🎉
🥺🥺
so he met with foul play
or pulled over& wandered off
. Or someone picked him up.. planned or hitch hike? or unalivenated himself.. theres so many pastabilities
For christ sake, just say "killed himself" Also, pastabilities, is that some sort of spaghetti? 😊
@@fishandchipsupper is that some sort of slur because of my Italian name?
Quick! off to the safe space! Fetch me soy latte!
@@tonyborelli. pastabilities is what you wrote LOL
Old Hugh Jass Harlan... What became of this man
Obviously, the dog’s did it
Because the hoomanz were eatin their fude….
They're the kind of people in CA that would become mules.
