Sarah Funk is a ‘YouTuber’.

This is a legitimate career now, and people are getting really, really rich off the platform.

Back in June 2017, Sarah and her partner, Luis Yanes, visited Cyprus’ Mitsero Red Lake, a toxic, acidic body of water tinted red from now-abandoned British mining operations.

They filmed the whole thing, but failed to notice the abandoned suitcase lying at the water’s edge.

Here’s Mashable:

Cypriot officials believe there are three suitcases in the lake and on Saturday retrieved one of them. It’s unclear if that suitcase is the same one Funk saw nearly two years ago and police have not confirmed whether they used Funk’s video during the investigation.

On Sunday, Cypriot military officer Nicos Metaxas confessed to murdering five women and two children over a three year period. He said he dumped three of their bodies into Mitsero Red Lake. His adult victims were domestic workers for households around Cyprus, according to the Guardian, and are thought to hail from the Philippines, India or Nepal, and Romania.

At roughly 2:08 in the video you can see Funk kneeling down close to one of the suitcases:

That little preamble about how it’s the perfect setting for a murder is a little bit awkward now.

The statement about how it “feels like death” is equally awkward.

You just “feel death in the air – it’s so nice”…

Okay, I’m starting to think these two were in on it.

Funk released a statement about the suitcases, asking people to stop contacting her.

“This is terrible and I am devastated for the victims’ families,” she wrote. “It felt eerie there but I did not see anything completely out of the norm … I don’t have any other information about the lake. This is all of the information I have, and I hope it helps.”

She also added that at the time she thought the suitcase was a log.

A likely story…
