Hello everyone and welcome back to Scary Interesting.

In this video, we're going to go over two incredibly creepy disappearances.

In each of these cases, there is one really disturbing piece of information that makes it seem as though there's more to the story.

You'll see what I mean, and as always, viewer discretion is strongly advised.

These days, Phoenix, Arizona is often referred to as the kidnapping capital of the United States, but nearly a century ago, that same title belonged to Tacoma, Washington, due to series

of high-profile cases.

In 1935, timber tycoon John Philip Wirehouser's nine-year-old son George was snapped off a busy Tacoma Street in broad daylight.

He was eventually reunited with his family after his father paid a $200,000 ransom, but sadly, the following year, the 10-year-old son of a prominent

physician William Mattson was abducted and murdered. At the time, 8-year-old Beverly Ann Leach

and her family also lived in Tacoma. In fact, she and her friends even often rode their bikes

past Williams home out of morbid curiosity. After high school though, Bev set out for Seattle

to study at the University of Washington.

She always dreamed of being a journalist, but things changed when she fell in love with a young man named Don Burr.

Bev and then got married and eventually moved to California, where their first child, Anne was born on December 14th, 1952.

Later, they moved back to North Dakota, Washington, and when it was all sudden done, they had three

more children, Julie, Greg, and Mary. The family was a devout Catholic family, and they lived

normal middle-class lives in their quaint two-store bungalow on North 14th Street. Most residents

knew one another and took pride in their community, and more importantly, North Tacoma was

relatively safe despite the kidnappings that occurred decades before. Weather permitting, many children walk to and from school every day

and on afternoons and weekends, the kids often played together in the orchard next door until

the sun went down or the parents called them in for supper. With that said, like all communities,

North Tacoma also had its fair share of odd and eccentric characters. One neighborhood man allegedly handed out candy two neighborhood kids while sunbathing without clothes in his backyard.
