If you pay attention to our newsfeed here at The Gorko, you will know that there is no lack of strange goings-on in the larger Peoria area, and the world, and all about the penchant of our own editors for amateur sleuthing. What you may or may not have realized are how heavily local and national professional crimefighters actually depend on The Gorko for important leads! Here are some of the most bizarre true crime cases that we have personally put to rest over the years.
UNCLE TOBY WALKED INTO A BAR IN 2016 AND APPARENTLY NEVER CAME OUT AGAIN
Uncle Toby was reported by more than five eyewitnesses to have entered the bar Near Bears on Loyola Avenue the evening of March 15th, 2019. No one in the bar, including BEARtender Ralph or the CCTV footage from that night, saw him walk out again.
HOW THE GORKO CRACKED THE CASE
Our theory was that Uncle Toby fell asleep in the bathroom, or at one of the corner tables not covered by the security cameras, or you know in the Cubby Kuddle Room in back, and no one gave three fiddles, so to speak. He was fine, by the way, having turned up at his mother’s house on the morning of March 16th, 2019, and confirmed that one of these things was exactly what happened, only protesting that he was at Lubricon, not Near Bears.
