162: The strange disappearance of Louis Le Prince

from Mysteries and Histories · host Georgia Marie

In September 1890, French inventor Louis Le Prince was supposed to be travelling back to New York City to see his family for the first time in three years after finally completing his invention: the motion picture camera. His brother waved goodbye as he dropped Louis off at Dijon train station, to travel to Paris and begin his long journey home. But somewhere along the way, Louis disappeared, never to be seen again.
