We first began about two years ago writing about hundreds of young men who had gone missing and were later found dead in water. Links to previous posts are at the bottom of this page. The growing epidemic of deaths — most of which are incorrectly dubbed as “Smiley Face Killer” cases — continues to build. The stories concocted about their cause of death, when examined, are beyond incredulous. Nothing is what it seems.
Just examining a couple more recent ones will give you the idea. We could write post after post after post of other inexplicable cases just like this.
On Nov. 12, 2018, a 32-year-old Spokane, Washington, man named Ian Powers was reported missing after he became separated from his girlfriend and her two kids during the fourth quarter of a San Francisco 49ers game against the New York Giants at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif.
Friends and family described Powers as alert and responsible and, at 32, we would surmise mature and adult-behaving. It was said he wasn’t a swimmer.
A few days after Powers disappeared from the game, Santa Clara police released surveillance video (without time stamp). It is said to show Powers leaving the stadium alone. The cameras reportedly lost him once he reached the parking lot area. He appears unaccompanied. Of course, it could be that he is being tailed, but the police have inexplicably blurred out the other people in the image.
His girlfriend told authorities that she last saw Ian when he left to go to the restroom alone during the fourth quarter of the game. Apparently, his “cell phone died,” which seems to be a common occurrence in such cases. Another inconsistent account says he texted his girlfriend from outside the stadium.
There were few details given in this case, which means we have to go into Sherlock mode, starting with an obvious question: Why didn’t Ian just go back to his seat after going to the restroom? After all, it was a close game, a thriller decided in the last minute. Ian came all the way from Spokane to fart around in the restroom and concourse?
Having been at big stadiums many times in my life, I know that the reason to take off to the restroom in the fourth quarter is to beat the rush when the game ends. At least for men, there are never big lines in stadium restrooms in the middle of the fourth. The idea is to get in and out quickly. And restrooms at stadiums are usually close by and accessible.
If in the unlikely event one decided to leave their seat and ditch their companions in the last high-point finale minutes of the game, Ian should have told them to stay put, or possibly instruct them to wait at the aisle entrance. There is no indication he told them to meet at the car.
Furthermore, where is the surveillance video of red shirted Ian’s whereabouts inside the stadium in the fourth-quarter time frame and soon after?
But, for whatever reason, that meetup with girlfriend didn’t happen. With a dead phone, apparently Ian decided to head for the car, which was parked outside the main lot. The car was still there when his companions showed up, but there was no Ian.
Next, we have a pattern, seen again and again, in these dead-men-found-in-water cases. Powers’ body was discovered six days later in a San Francisco Bay marina, 2.6 miles North of the stadium. Someone supposedly spotted him not far from his car (shown on map) the night of his disappearance.
Was there consideration that Ian could have been abducted, taken somewhere and then dumped? No, of course not. Powers’ cause of death was immediately ruled an accidental salt-water drowning. There were supposedly no signs of foul play in his death.
“Based on these findings, the Santa Clara Police Department’s investigation into the Powers disappearance is now closed.”
In my open search, there is no detail in news accounts about the context of the events — namely, that this was a Monday night game, starting at 5:15 p.m., lasting three hours and six minutes. So Ian disappeared some time after 8:30 p.m. local time. Dusk was 5:28 p.m. that day at that location.
Ian’s clothing choice was also odd. He’s shown wearing a red, short-sleeve, 49ers shirt. It was not warm that evening. In fact, as anyone who has been to San Francisco knows, it can get quite nippy and damp at night. Here’s the weather that day. It would have been 55 F when the game wound down.
Did Ian leave a jacket with his girlfriend, because he’s not wearing one or carrying one in the surveillance photo. Are we to believe that Ian went to where his body was found 2.6 miles away wearing a t-shirt in low 50s F weather? What are the odds that a mature man from out of town would just abandon his car and companions and take off down the road at night?
Of course, he may not have been able to find his parked car. But couldn’t he have tried to borrow another fan’s cell phone to make a call to his girlfriend? Or how about finding a security person or police officer for assistance? Or maybe he had no luck with that and decided to locate a restaurant or service station to place such a call and wait.
So far, all this strangeness is still within the outer range of real-world possibility. Where it all breaks down is theorizing that Ian — who was not a good swimmer — decided to go several miles down the road in low 50s F weather in a t-shirt and brave frigid Bay waters to “accidentally” drown. The odds of that kind of unicorn event are frankly zero, compared to the possibility of an abduction occurring in a dark parking lot at around 8:30 p.m.
Abductions can and do happen with alarming frequency. The conventional wisdom holds that it’s women and children who are targets, not men. This is not true. Therefore, in our safe place outside of Pulp Fiction cartoon world, Sherlock needs to ask, who abducted and murdered Ian Powers? Why did police so quickly rule that out? Shockingly, the press rarely pursues such logical lines of inquiry.
The Case of Alex Holden
The deceased 25-year-old Alex Holden was an Amazon manager living in Sacramento, California. He was 6 foot 2 and 190 lbs. with brown hair and green eyes. He was an athletic marathon runner. He could be described as a high achiever, which is also typical of these case types.
Alex was originally from Missouri. In an Instagram post about his new life in California that he wrote shortly before his death, he said, “I’m excited about my budding career as a young urban professional in the American economy.”
Alex was last seen in the city of Sacramento on Dec. 31, 2019. He seemingly vanished without a trace. A post on Reddit claimed he was last spotted walking from the corner of 22nd and I streets headed toward Natomas at 2:30 a.m. on New Year’s Eve.
After his disappearance, his girlfriend posted this message on social media: “I am shocked and saddened to be sharing this. My significant other, Alexander Holden went missing around 2:30 am Tuesday morning 12/31 NYE in Midtown Sacramento, California after he left our apartment.”
She continues in another post: “Holden was drinking before going for a walk after an emotional talk.”
She told Fox News that Holden “headed for a walk to a friend’s house and would spend the night there. Perri believes his cellphone died as he was walking toward the Sacramento Northern Bikeway trail.”
There was a massive search for Alex, including along the American River. Then, on Jan. 27, nearly four weeks after his disappearance, his body was found in a marshy area at the edge of the American River in Sacramento, at Mile Marker 3 of the American River Bike Trail.
As the photo of the site shows, there is a calm river. A 25-year-old athlete should be able to handle it. Nevertheless, authorities quickly ruled out foul play and attributed his death to an “accident.” In Alex’s case we are asked to believe he messed with dark water in sub-40s weather.
By coinkydink, Spencer Bei, age 17, also went missing on New Year’s Eve. He was found three days later along the American River Bike Trail.
The Sacramento County Coroner’s Office reported Spencer was discovered in the area of mile marker 11.5, which is located on the north side of the river between Watt Avenue and Bradshaw Road. His death was attributed to suicide, and the investigation was closed.
By all appearances, Spencer participated in water polo and was an another high achiever.
Winter Watch Takeaway
Sacramento and San Francisco are sketchy, dangerous cities with more than their fair share of discordians. It has been well established that predators are active here — and nationwide. They prey on young, attractive males.
For further reading:
The notion that young males could go out into the cold, dark night in such an environment and not meet with foul play is refusing to examine the dark side of life and its dangers. There is even a sub group, who I suspect are SFK operatives, who mock darker-view realists and spread false rumors of drug use.
Jim Smith, one of the leading researchers of these cases mentions online operatives who spread misinformation.
People are spreading rumors he was on LSD. It is Not true. People spreading it are most likely involved. They are intentionally misleading to provide doubt for police to say accident when found in water. pic.twitter.com/du4DX8LttY

This has become a staple of our society. Naive optimism has become a virtue. The pajama person cult encourages people to remain oblivious in the face of adversity and real danger. And the more precarious our system becomes, the more these people see unicorns and rainbows. It’s especially disconcerting and suspect to see police and officials behave this way, and truly bizarre.
The SCOTUS told us police are there to investigate crimes, not prevent them, and now they won’t even do that.
Of course we awakened know it’s all B.S. Police are there to protect the so called “elites” and enforce their demonic agendas. In their spare time, the “po po” are to be used for revenue generation.
God bless “Murka”.
Wonder why the PD and MSM are behaving as complicit in these clearly crimes.
Care to share your theory why?
A template might be the Dutroux cases in Belgium, where authorities and media were running cover for powerful and sick, evil criminals.

Alviso is not San Fransisco, not by a long shot. It is a mostly Mexican backwater, probably the most isolated place in the entire Bay Area. No one swims at the marina, and the SC county deputies know this. If they found a body there, the only reasonable conclusion would be foul play. Why did they not open a case? Pressure from the top. “Crime here in Santa Clara county goes DOWN, not up, Deputy, and you know that. GTFO.”
well of course the authorities are involved, when they handle cases in such a manner. tjhis is all par for the course,ritual killings who does these
The awake are awake for a reason–the awake are prepared and continue to prepare, for anything, including nosey neighbors, so no one knows how prepared the prepared people are, including the criminal psycho elites. The prepared do not go out walking alone at 2 am or whatever, cold or warm, in large metro areas, and do not let their cell phones die out. The prepared can swim. The prepared know Bushcraft, can live in rural remote areas rife with dangerous predators (such as mountain lions and bears) and even machete-wielding illegals. The awake know that they are on their own, and they have no problem with that.
The “Po-po’s” are too living within delusion to even bother to act, so they pay the price unfortunately. They won’t even buy a cheap parcel of land to bug out in when the SHTF.
The criminal psycho elites? they don’t realize that at some point even their minions will turn against them if the price is right. Ronald Bernard, and others, and didn’t a Rothschild get murdered several years ago?
Hampstead Jewish man still missing in Sonning
“… On Sunday a body was recovered from the Thames at Fawley Court, upriver from Sonning, after reports of a man ‘entering the water’.
“In November a woman was found dead just downstream at Marlow, and a 24-year-old man was found in the river at Henley in August.
“Last month Bogdan Skarbeck, 49, from Poland, who lived and worked in Reading, was found dead in the Thames, also near Henley.
“Thames Valley Police are not linking the deaths, but one Sonning villager said: ‘Some folk are saying the stretch of river might suddenly have had a curse put on it.
“‘We do get people drowning in the river but TO HAVE FOUR IN SIX MONTHS IS VERY UNUSUAL, and now Mr Stern has gone missing too.’
“The villager, who asked not to be named, added: ‘GEORGE CLOONEY [Ghislaine Maxwell’s former sex partner, according to court papers] and his wife have settled in and everyone likes them – they have been very good in helping out with activities and various good causes in the village.
“‘It must be terrible for them to hear about these deaths, especially with THE RIVER RUNNING PAST THE BOTTOM OF THEIR GARDEN’ …”

Oh my God. I found this on Aangirfan blogspot.

As I commented before at the ‘Smiley Faces Murders’ the same happens in the Netherlands, in Belgium and apparently in the UK as well.
Santa Clara is very far south of San Francisco and much warmer. There are microclimates in the bay area and San Francisco and Santa Clara cannot be equated in climate or surroundings whatsoever. Santa Clara is in the heart of Silicon Valley near may high tech companies.
Back in 2005/6 these cases had already hit the mainstream press in the UK enough times for me to notice the pattern and remark about it: “someone’s killing people and dumping them in water”. I never see the stories in the press any more though. And the police never seem to investigate. Given the time span, geographic spread and professional carbon-copy nature of the abduction murders, I’d say its likely being done by some sort of occult group within public institutions; intel community, military and/or police.
Russians speak of a particular female demon called a Russalka. It appears as a beautiful girl and preys on lone attractive males. It lures him to a remote waterway then drowns him.
Itava Yo the Russian folk band has a song up on You Tube featuring a Russalka. In the video the demon fails to kill the victim, he was damn lucky.
Wish I could copy the link, but won’t work on this phone of mine.
I agree that this is being done by some sort of occult group like a satanic cult. I haven’t read everything on your site yet, but I agree with most of the articles that I’ve read here. At the risk of sounding too “controversial”, it deserves mentioning that a lot of these drownings/smiley face killer cases involve victims that are probably homosexuals (often closeted), as inferred from news reporting and “reading between the lines” a little bit. Not all of them of course, and maybe not even most of them – but gay people seem to be over-represented among this population (victims of this particular type of murder).
I’m not saying this to discredit the victims or to “bash” gay people (and what I’m saying here of course does not downplay one bit the tragedy of their deaths) but a good chunk of these cases are homosexual men being lured or actively agreeing to meet for casual sex via texting, snapchat, etc. by other homosexual men that are members of these Satanic cults. Normal straight people simply have no idea how much degenerate casual sex gay men engage in, often anonymously. Only so-called “crazy conspiracy theorists” like us and your audience even so much as mention the connection between these satanic cults and sodomy – often in the form of rape – so one can imagine how ignorant the public is of this connection and how deep it runs.
In cases where the victim is probably not gay then I think that homosexual members of these Satanic groups are indeed abducting their targets suddenly because they find them attractive – so it’s an expression of simple sexual sadism as is the case with many serial killers (who also found a lot of their victims in the forms of male prostitutes and homosexual men). Again, these victims are probably not just getting killed – they’re probably getting raped too like what we’ve been hearing come out of Satanic Ritual Abuse cases.
The connection between homosexuality, sadism, psychopathy, and satanism in general is simply not discussed enough in the public arena. While not all gay people are evil, it seems to me that a huge percentage of evil people are indeed gay. Homosexuals are over-represented among murderers, serial killers, pedophiles, and people with mental disorders like psychopathy, sexual sadism, etc. Homosexuality is a sign of psychological dysfunction, and if Greg Cochran’s theory is correct, it’s literally some sort of biological agent/parasite that infects a child’s neurological development as a transmissible pathogen. Much like how transsexuals are mostly explained by various forms of autism, homosexuality needs to be taken seriously as a medical abnormality. No, people do not “choose” to be gay, but arguably neither do most pedophiles or criminals with antisocial personality disorder. That doesn’t mean we simply throw our hands up and ignore them or let them run rampant in society.
In previous eras like the 1950s in the U.S., homosexuality was seen as taboo and was not tolerated, but the other side of that coin was a general ignorance of the destructive nature of their psychology and their predilection for criminality (some medical experts at the time did understand this, but the research that we have now proving such things had not yet been done). Simply following this line of reasoning seriously and addressing it medically would do so much to alleviate the needless suffering of so many innocent people from being victimized. It would not solve everything, but it would be a good start (and would probably give the greatest “return on investment” in terms of our collective efforts at ridding society of these elite satanists).
I say all of this not to “hate” gay people. I do not hate gay people, and I do not believe that gay people should be harmed in any way or have any violence directed towards them whatsoever. They have the same rights as any other citizen and human being, and their rights should not be violated. What I’m saying is that homosexuality should be treated as what it is: a developmental disorder that needs medical treatment. Medical science currently does not have a “cure” for homosexuality (although many anecdotal stories about Ivermectin and other de-wormer medication having suddenly and unexpectedly cured people of their supposedly “innate” homosexuality are certainly intriguing), but the only way society will ever have a cure is to first identify homosexuality as a disorder, as medical psychiatry once did in the DSM.
In the meantime, cases like these will remain a disturbing mystery.
What medical cure is there for psychology of those who think they are qualified to judge other peoples mental state of mind when they themselves are classed as bonkers by the medical fraternity for their pseudo science of curing depression that has led to many deaths worldwide ?
