All You Need is Another Clue Trivia Quiz

Answer: John Wilkes Booth

Boston Corbett is the man credited with shooting and killing John Wilkes Booth after he assassinated President Abraham Lincoln. At the time he was a soldier for the Union Army. His fame as the killer of Booth led to his appointment as the assistant doorkeeper of the Kansas House of Representatives.

He had been a hatter before the war. He went insane a few years later, possibly from exposure to mercury during his previous occupation. In 1888 he escaped from the Topeka Asylum for the Insane and was never seen again.

There has been much speculation as to what happened to him after his escape, but it is likely we will never know.

Answer: His plane disappeared

The nephew of the fabulously wealthy steel magnate Andrew Carnegie, Whitfield disappeared while on a 15 minute plane flight from Mineola to Brentwood, Long Island NY. The short flight was only 22 miles (35km) long, and was over land. His plane never landed, and no reports of a plane crash were ever reported. All his personal property was left in his hotel room and no one claimed to have ever heard him talk about disappearing nor committing suicide.

He was newly and happily married and was not reported to have had personal nor business problems. Neither Whitfield nor any parts of his plane have ever been recovered.

Answer: Aruba

While on vacation to Aruba, Natalee Holloway went missing and her body has never been found. Multiple arrests were made and all suspects were released due to a lack of evidence.

She was declared dead by a court in in the state of Alabama at the request of her father. What happened to Holloway will likely never be known.

Answer: Motion picture film

Louis Le Prince is known as the "Father of Cinematography" and is credited with using a single lens camera to shoot the first moving pictures on paper film. His work came out several years before more famous inventors such as Thomas Edison and August and Louis Lumière.

His mysterious disappearance from a French train allowed Edison to take credit for the invention of motion pictures. Neither his body nor his luggage were ever found, despite an exhaustive search by his friends, family, and law enforcement.

Answer: Mary Celeste

Captain Briggs and his family disappeared along with the crew of the Mary Celeste while they were crossing the Atlantic Ocean and were never heard from again. The ship was found fully intact, along with all personal property of the crew and of the captain's family still aboard.

The cargo was still intact and no damage to the ship was found. The fate of all those aboard has been a matter of great speculation, and is one of the strangest maritime mysteries of all time.

Answer: Judge Joseph Crater

Associate Justice of the New York State Supreme Court, Joseph Force Crater, disappeared after having dinner at Billy Haas's Chophouse. He had bought a ticket for the theater that night but never showed. The police were not notified until September 3rd, at which time his disappearance became front page news. Was he kidnapped and murdered, did he run off with a lover, or was he involved in some kind of illegal activity that necessitated him leaving the country? Thousands of false leads and little to no hard evidence as to what happened to the judge has led to his disappearance being considered one of the 20th century's greatest mysteries. For decades after this disappearance, the phrase "to pull a Crater" meant "to disappear".

Answer: Ambrose Bierce

Noted author Ambrose Bierce, decided he wanted to experience the Mexican Revolution first hand. He is believed to have traveled with Pancho Villa and his army to the city of Chihuahua, where he vanished. Some legends claim that he wrote a letter to a friend while in Chihuahua saying he was fixing to leave to an unnamed mysterious place, and would write again soon.

He then disappeared without a trace. There are many legends as to how he met his end, including being shot by a firing squad. His mysterious disappearance made for an appropriate end to an author known for his tales of ghosts and war as well as for his use of irony.

Answer: False

This statement is false, as it was rumored that Boyd had been killed as a substitute for John Wilkes Booth, NOT Abraham Lincoln. Boyd has been a prisoner of war for two years during the American Civil War. When he was released he promptly disappeared after making arrangements to meet up with his son. Rumors abounded that he had been killed in place of John Wilkes Booth, so that the latter could escape to the South and then possibly to Europe.

The 1977 movie "The Lincoln Conspiracy" puts forth the idea that Boyd was mistaken for John Wilkes Booth and it was he who was killed at Richard Garrett's farm.

Historians have debated the facts around the assassination ever since it occurred. What happened to Mr. Boyd will probably never be known, although photographs taken of him do show a slight resemblance to the actor/assassin.

There was no resemblence to Lincoln.

Answer: Washington

D. B. aka Dan Cooper jumped out of a Boeing 727 over the dense Pacific woodlands of the state of Washington and has never been seen again. Despite hijacking a plane full of witnesses, he was never identified. Intensive detective work by many agencies never brought forth a viable suspect. And there is disagreement as to whether he could have survived the high altitude jump.

In 1980, an eight year old boy discovered some of the ransom money while digging in the dirt. Where the rest of the ransom money went, and who D.B. Cooper really was will likely never be known.

Answer: True

The Kinross Incident is a mysterious occurrence that took place November 23, 1953 over Lake Superior. Lt. Felix Moncla disappeared while pursuing an unidentified flying object over the lake. The U.S. government claimed he was chasing a Canadian aircraft, while the Canadian government emphatically denied that they had any aircraft in the area at that time. Moncla had been sent out to find the unknown craft that was showing up on radar.

As he neared the other craft both he and the other craft disappeared and neither has ever been found.

The incident has brought out hoaxers and those who are truly trying to find the truth as to what happened that night. Just one more clue could make all the difference.
