本站添加: 2026-06-03

[00:00:00]115 people vanished without a single drop of blood. No bodies, no graves, no signs of struggle. Virginia, 1590.

[00:00:11]A supply ship returns to England's first American colony after three long years.

[00:00:16]The gates stand open. The houses are empty. Cooking fires have gone cold.

[00:00:22]Personal belongings sit untouched as if everyone simply walked away mid-sentence. The colonists left behind only one clue. A single word carved deep into a wooden post, Croatoan.

[00:00:36]The name of a nearby island.

[00:00:39]But when rescuers searched that island, they found nothing. No colonists, no remains, no explanation. Among the missing, Virginia Dare, the first English child born in America.

[00:00:51]She was 3 years old when she disappeared. 435 years of investigation, dozens of theories, zero answers.

[00:01:01]The colony of Roanoke remains America's oldest unsolved mystery.
