Here's a look at 20 of the strangest and most interesting hidden plot lines in the GTA franchises you might not be aware of.
20 Solve The Infinity Murders
via: reddit.com
GTA V is full of intriguing mysteries and none is more blood curdling than the Infinity Murders. In 1999 The Infinity Killer, known to his mum as Merle Abraham, murdered eight male joggers over a short period and hid their bodies around the state. Abraham was arrested but died awaiting trial and never confessed to the killings, but that doesn’t mean you can’t figure out the mystery yourself.
Throughout the game, there are clues written by Abraham that hint at not only his mental state, but the murders that were to come. You can find clues at his burnt down house, on a large rock near Sandy Shores, and inside his prison cell in Bolingbroke Penitentiary. If you follow the clues carefully, you’ll end up finding all eight bodies bound and buried at the bottom of the sea near the small islands of Mount Chiliad, putting the Infinity murders to rest.
19 Bigfoot Really Does Exist

The mystery of Bigfoot's existence is one that gamers have been trying to prove since he was rumoured to appear to in GTA San Andreas . Although most gamers couldn't find him in San Andreas (despite Rockstar confirming "something" was living in the woods), he eventually showed up in GTA V .
He can be first glimpsed through a sniper rifle during the Predator mission in Cassidy Creek. The entire The Last One mission is based around hunting Bigfoot, but all you find is a man dressed as the hairy creature. Further investigation revealed if you complete the game 100% and collect all 27 peyote plants, special gold ones will appear at different locations daily. If you collect one a day for a week, you will morph into the Sasquatch and end up battling a Teen Wolf look-alike, unlocking both monsters as playable characters, finally confirming Bigfoot's existence.
18 The Apocalypse Is Close

The end of the GTA world as we know it was first prophesied by conspiracy theorist Manuel in GTA Vice City who warned the robots would rise up and destroy civilization, much like the film The Terminator . The coming apocalypse was further discussed by radio host Marvin Trill. After his show Area 53 was taken off air during GTA San Andreas, he returned to a website in GTA IV detailing what might happen after the world ended and how he planned on migrating to Planet X.
It's no surprise Trill was a member of The Epsilon Program, and his claims were backed by another non-playing character Steve Henderson, who believed it was the aliens who were coming to take over. As you can see the threat of the apocalypse has hung over the GTA world for a number of games, but we are yet to see it play out. Here's hoping GTA 6 takes place in a post-apocalyptic Mad Max type-world where players must fend for themselves.
17 Body In The Mines

There are many mysteries contained within the GTA world, and one of the most challenging is found in GTA V . There is an abounded mineshaft that can only be accessed by blowing up the concealed entry. Once inside you will come across the body of a man dressed in a suit from the 1940s. Next to him is a film reel. If you watch the film, you'll discover the body is that of a cartoonist called Isaac who was ended because of a secret he knew. There is also a body of a woman that can be found underwater who may also be connected to this murder. How are they connected and what is the secret? This is something you will have to find out yourself.
16 Zombie Outbreak On The Way
via: gta.wikia.com
Rockstar's obsession with aliens also extends to the cultural phenomenon that is zombies. In early instalments of the series there are references to a zombie Elvis, articles on global corporation Zombotech (who are dedicated to researching the zombie-virus), and persistent rumours that zombies can be seen wandering unpopulated areas of San Andreas.
Most of the evidence pointing to a zombie outbreak is found in GTA V . The Humane Labs and Research centre is invested in researching toxins but are also developing a zombie virus. The package Micheal steals from the centre during the game could possibly contain the deadly virus that will start the zombie apocalypse. You can also find a box labelled "Zombie Outbreak" in Lester's house while a Weasel news report mentions pharmaceutical Zombrex, a drug from the Dead Rising world administered to stop people turning into zombies. Could a zombie outbreak be on the cards in future GTA games?
15 FIB Agents Guarding Satellite Secrets
via: reddit.com
The FIB (Federal Investigation Bureau) **** is GTA's __ version of the FBI (Federal Bureau Of Investigation) are often turn up at the most unexplained and unusual times during the game. Take for instance the satellite dishes in the Grand Señora Desert. Between 10 am and 5 pm every day they appear standing guard over some scientists who are in a deep discussion.
Good luck trying to find out what they are talking about though, as the longer you linger near the satellites, the more agitated the FIB agents become before eventually chasing after you. Whatever is going on in the desert must be important and no doubt alien related, although we will never know just what the scientists have discovered.
14 Jack The Ripper Lives In Liberty City

The infamous villain, Jack The Ripper attacked a number of "women of the night" in the Whitechapel district of London during 1888. Jack was never caught, and many GTA players believe Rockstar have melded fact with fiction with sightings of the unidentified killer occurring in GTA IV .
Players have claimed to see a man attacking prostitutes in the dead of night in Liberty City, although there is no photographic evidence. Despite the lack of proof, the mission Portrait Of Killer is named after a real-life book written by Patricia Cornwell about Jack the Ripper. Could this just be a coincidence or a subtle nudge that the Ripper has been resurrected in Liberty City to resume his murderous ways?
13 Global Flooding

Global Warming is a series issue and one that appears to have made its way into the GTA universe. Throughout a number of barber shops (including Herr Kutz, Hair on Hawick, and Beach Combover) in GTA V there is a map of the world hanging on the walls. While it seems like a standard image of the world, closer inspection reveals many of the countries have different coastlines, indicating a rise in sea levels. You can even find more evidence on the in-game internet at www.accept-the-chaos.com where a newspaper can be found showing a picture of a flooded island with a headline declaring a tsunami has hit.
Lending, even more, credence to this theory is the fact San Andreas is technically a large island, possibly separated from the coast of America. This could be a way of keeping the game world enclosed in one space, but I like to think its because the polar ice caps have melted and the world is now flooded.
12 Mr. Trenchcoat The Serial Killer
via: gamemodding.net
The Infinity Killer isn't the only mass murder in the GTA series. Another serial killer is said to feature in both GTA III and GTA San Andreas . In GTA III the unidentified man is seen wearing a trench coat and fedora and is known to randomly attack players on the streets of Liberty City without reason.
San Andreas also featured a character named Mr. Trenchcoat who looks remarkably similar to the one seen wandering the streets of Liberty City. Dressed in a trenchcoat and fedora, the aptly named Mr. Trenchcoat doesn't harm anyone in San Andreas , but continually speaks about his interactions with aliens and how he's been abducted before. It's debatable if these two characters are the same person, but either way, it makes for an interesting storyline focusing on one character transcending multiple titles.
11 The Murder Of Leonora Johnson
via: gta.wikia.com
A movies star and model, Leonora Johnson was on the cusp of becoming the biggest star in the 70s before she was murdered in 1975. The crimes committed against her are horrible even by video game standards, with her body disfigured, abused, and finally cut into pieces, with various parts left around Los Santos.
The menace that attacked her was never found, but by using the in-game internet you can find clues to who did it. Players can collect 50 small pieces of paper around Los Santos that when put together reveal the name of the dastard. Closely resembling the Black Dahlia case, this plot was taken straight out of Hollywood and is another way Rockstar cleverly merge real-life with the GTA world.
