Has anyone here ever heard about the case from Brazil, I believe, where 2 men were found dead on top of a hill. They were both wearing like lead mask and suits or something along those lines. They had writings on them that were something like instructions telling them to be there on the hill at a certain time. Then take some kind of pill or capsule at a certain time, then after that put the lead mask on at a certain time. I don't think they ever learned what the cause of death actually was but for some reason bits and pieces of that case stuck in my mind over the years. Does anyone know what I'm talking about? Perhaps you heard of it tootsie?

I have read about that. Very intriguing case.

Both cases (somerton man and the lead masks) were covered on cracked.com recently, and that's the first time I'd ever heard of them. I need to learn more about mysteries like this. Thanks for the intriguing post!

Cold War espionage caper with assassination of an unidentifiable agent, secret codes, untraceable cause of death, etc.

It's got the whole works.

There was a fair amount of killing done by espionage operatives in those days and in the years that followed.


Also to encrypt and decrypt secret messages, an agreed upon - specific edition - of a publication (Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam in this case) can be used by following an algorithm known only by the sender and recipient.

Unfortunately, VINs weren't used until 1954 and standardized until 1981.
