Unsolved Crimes

I can just imagine how hard it must have been (or still is) for the loved ones of the victims who don't have closure.

The Zodiac killer in the end was thought to be a law enforcement officer. He was never caught but authorities believe he has passed away - I certainly hope so.

There's always been speculation about the Boston Stranger. Scary stuff.

The JonBenet Ramsey murder has never been solved & it's almost 20 years now.

The Black Dahlia, Jack the Ripper and DB Cooper come to mind.

Good answer! Yes, those are ones I'm familiar with. I just thought of Jimmy Hoffa ~ although no one knows whether a crime took place. He just dropped off the face of the earth seems like.

The Highway of Tears is one of Canada's longest mysteries, spanning over 3 decades. If memory serves they did convict an American of threee deaths that occurred there, however there are still close to 25 victims that could not have been murdered by this man. The I 70 killlings have been occurring for over 2 decades, possibly longer and the perp is possibly a truck driver, not sure. At some point the unidentified perp was on the 10 Most Wanted List, not sure if he is still on it though........

Someone needs to help me remember this little boy's name, which is unusual and starts with a "K". But it happened a few years ago. His stepmother dropped him off at school (she says) with a science experiement he was taking to school that day for a science fair, she says she left, and he was never seen again. He was about 7 yrs. old, cute little boy with eyeglasses.

The boy's father has since divorced the stepmother and the suspicion has been on her for a long time as the last person to have seen him. If memory serves me right, there are also inconsistencies in her story. I wish I could remember that little boy's name. Stories are run every now and then about him still being missing.

Oh, here it is-- Kyron Horman.

I'm reading "Fatal Vows" by Joseph Hosey. It is about Drew Peterson ex-Bolingbrook cop. He's in prison for the murder of his third wife and just sentanced for trying to have the DA murdered. His fourth wife Stacy is missing nearly 9 years now.

I live in the next town over. Every time we are out I'm looking at empty fields wondering if the blue barrel is out there. I belonged to the Wine Styles that he and Stacy belonged to, I shop at the same Meijer that they did.

Last night I read a chapter that includes unsolved murders in this area. I remember quite a few of them. Amazing how many there are around here.

Wetterling's disappearance was tentively tied to a child p**n suspect in 2015.

Yes, but they cannot find anything to prove it. So it remains unsolved.

The Phantom Killer.......in Texarkana, Texas... They made a movie about it called "The Town that dreaded Sundown". I think he killed 5 people.

Some Law enforcement people thought that it could have been the early work of the Zodiac killer....

It is sad. I have always admired Patty Wetterling for all she has contributed since this horrific abduction!

The Vanishing Women is a current one I've been watching on ID.

Brown/Goldman case has never been closed.

Natalie Wood...not sure if it's open but I wonder about this case.

I stand corrected...Natalie's case was ruled accidental drowning, but that doesn't change my view of the case.

I don't recall where I saw it on the internet, but I've read that somewhere around 35% of all murders go unsolved. I thought that was very high ..... and probably totally unacceptable to the producers of Law and Order. (that was a joke).

Natalie Wood's drowning was reclassified from "Accidental Drowning" to "Drowing and Other Undetermined Factors". Davern, the Capt of the yacht, came forward a few years ago and admitted he lied originally (Robert Wagner threatened the people on-board the yacht). He changed his story. Of course Robert Wagner is GUILTY!!!!
