On This Day in Weird, April 30...
1812: Speculative birth date assigned to Kaspar Hauser, the
mystery youth found in Nuremberg, Germany, in May 1828, bearing a cryptic note
addressed to a cavalry officer he had never met. Kaspar spins a strange tale of
captivity, held prisoner by persons unknown, until his equally mysterious
release bearing the letter.
2009: Crew members of the science vessel RV Roger Revelle
find the sailboat Lunatic adrift and abandoned off the coast of
Australia, with no trace of elderly Slovenian owner-pilot Jure Šterk aboard.
Šterk had been engaged in a one-man trip Before that discovery, the Lunatic was
last seen under sail on January 26.
