Happy New Year everyone! Very Happy

I wasn't sure where to post this, but I'm looking for any threads/info on the FTMB's about the case of the two men in *IIRC* Brazil, who were found dead wearing lead masks after taking some pills.

Thanks for your help!

There's a passing mention of it, plus a transcribed summary (2007) in the Human Mutilation Case Photos thread:

Thank you, EnolaGaia

It sure is, Mythopoeika, and one that really gives me the creeps. Shocked

Strange that there's only a breif mention of it on here though, I would have thought it was a rather good Fortean case?!

I recall the "lead masks" thing being bandied about in UFO magazines when I was a kid -- Argosy and Saga's at least. Didn't Jacques Vallee investigate the case for one of his books?

I've found this case interesting since I first read about it a few months ago. It is indeed, extremely creepy. Surprised

I always think there is a link between this case and MIB's, only due to the fact that the men were in suits! lol

*Don't worry, I'll go and put my tin foil hat back on now!*

Someone else is trying to find out more too, on Reddit: http://www.reddit.com/r/UnresolvedMysteries/comments/1jg5oh/the_lead_masks_case/
I knew there'd be a thread on it it here, so I shall now nip over there and post a link to this so the threads are slowly pulled together Smile There's no new info as far as I know, but I'd love to hear of anything.
