I just watched a show on the History channel about Amelia Earhart and their theory of what happened to her.  There were a lot of dots that connected but no real cement conclusion.  Now the History channel is airing a show about a theory of how the 1st serial killer in America was really Jack the Ripper.

 

I'd like you to present your own therories behind historical events.  They need not make any sense as most of them don't.

 

That's it.  Have at it.
