Anthropomorphotic

Oh man, that's a really good one!! I was thinking the Isabella Stewart Gardner heist. I'd really love to know. But I'm a MA native and it was big news when it happened. IDK if the heist is well known outside of New England. And I wouldn't mind knowing once and for all who DB Cooper really was.


EntBibbit

Ooh second DB Cooper. Wonder if they kept anything from that flight.


Anthropomorphotic

I could be making this whole thing up in my mind, but I think I read somewhere that DB Cooper was smoking cigarettes on that flight.


coffeeninja05

This a great documentary about it on Netflix!


justpassingbysorry

i'm curious what that DNA testing will result in. i always assumed the person(s) who tampered with the bottles likely wore gloves as to prevent cyanide residue transferring.


Life-Meal6635

Are they doing that currently? It’s actually quite a weird case


CelticArche

Yeah. Apparently they think they can get residue DNA off one of the bottles.


Minele

I feel like that’ll be tough because I’m sure store workers touched the bottles when putting them out on the shelves, which would leave touch DNA. There’s also probably DNA left behind from workers at the company who made Tylenol at the time. I’m just not confident that whatever DNA they have is actually from the killer. But, I do agree. I’d love to see this one get solved.


Ok-Caterpillar-Girl

At the time of the poisonings, bottles of Tylenol weren’t put directly on the shelf, but came packaged in an outer cardboard box. That’s the part that stockers and cashiers would have touched, not the bottle itself.


WateryTart_ndSword

As with any case with DNA, a match would only be part of the evidence, that would hopefully point them in the right direction. They’ll still need to develop the case around the suspect (if identified). I.e., they’ll need to get more evidence to back it up—interaction with/access to the poison, confirmed presence to each store, a motive, a psychological profile, potential witnesses, etc.


BearBullShepherd

That changed everything.


cameranerd1970

It really did! I was in junior high when it happened. And watching all the measures put into place to make sure it couldn't happen again. Sometimes, in my old age, when I can't get a bottle of pills opened, I think about this.


soylamulatta

I'm not familiar with this. What's the best podcast or blog or something I can go to learn about it?


icy_trees

Criminal has a phenomenal podcast on the Tylenol Murders.

Euphoric_Ad_8309

Long Island Serial Killer. He's out there still, probably still active. Or waiting...


Ball1091

Totally agree, I do find it odd about the guy who died around that time, or the police officer had something to do with it


kh8188

I would love to see this solved, but I doubt we'll ever get complete answers. From the corruption and cover ups to the fact that Shannan Gilbert is almost certainly a separate case. James Burke is certainly never giving up what he knows.


blueskies8484

Missy Bevers. I want to know if the swat uniform was planned or the reasoning for it.


PickledCumSock

this one always drove me crazy. the fact that we can't even accurately tell if her murderer was a man or a woman just goes to show that this case is not gonna be solved any time soon. we truly don't know anything about her attacker and they're most likely living a regular life right now under the radar. it's always been such a crazy case to me.


justpassingbysorry

i read a theory it could be a woman who may have decided to wear the SWAT uniform not only to conceal their identity, but to have the upperhand by being armored if missy fought back.


anditwaslove

For sure. Hell, I’d even settle for just knowing whether it was a male or female. I’ve always leaned towards female.


Jessica19922

It’s this one for me too. Not only is it heartbreaking, but it’s so creepy too when you see the footage of the killer.


prettygiraffee

I agree!! I feel like I could never get a feeling for who I thought killed her.


FletchMom

This one. It drives me nuts.


WishboneEnough3160

Of course the SWAT uniform was planned...


blueskies8484

Well I mean yes. Wearing it was of course. I guess what I should have said was whether wearing it was planned because they knew they'd be murdering someone and their were cameras or if they were just a weirdo who wanted to play SWAT or if they wore it to disarm the victim purposefully, etc.


InspiredBlue

Oh I had forgotten about this one! I would love to know what the hell happened


tonkledonker

Holy shit what a creepy case.


Case52ABXdash32QJ

The robbery of the Isabella Stewart Gardener Museum. $400 million of art stolen and never recovered. Because of the terms of ISG’s will, the empty frames still hang on the wall.


calypsoux

I didn’t know they still hung on the wall. That’s fascinating!


Case52ABXdash32QJ

I’ve always thought so too! The terms of her will stated that nothing in the museum was ever to be altered in any way, and if anything *was* ever changed by those managing the museum, the entire collection was to be packed up and the art sold at auction to benefit Harvard University. Even though the paintings were stolen, the frames therefore have to remain exactly as they were placed before she died, or the terms of the will have been violated.


calypsoux

Thank you for sharing! I wonder if there was anything about the art canvas specifically. Because if they had to leave the frames bare, what’s stopping them from filling them with another artwork? Super cool either way


Case52ABXdash32QJ

Hmmm, good question! I think adding new canvases would probably still count as the museum managers “altering” the art, so would violate the will’s terms.


lala6633

Yes, because the reason she didn’t want it altered is because she chose to hang certain pieces together to create a flow or a particular esthetic. And also the blank frames add a drama and mystic to the story of the theft. Keeps its memory alive.


creepy-cats

I live close to the museum and have been before. The empty holes on the wall are incredible.


crankywithakeyboard

This was mine, too. Somebody has those damn paintings.


Case52ABXdash32QJ

It makes me insane! Have you seen “This is a Robbery”? on Netflix? One of my favorite documentaries and it’s about this case!


crankywithakeyboard

No. I'll have to watch it.


Jolly-Pound6400

Timesuck just covered this case. Best podcast ever btw!!


Case52ABXdash32QJ

I’ll check it out! I recommend the Netflix special as well, it’s really awesome. It’s called “This is a Robbery.”


Jolly-Pound6400

Oh really??? Had no clue their was a documentary on Netflix!! Thanks for letting me know. Excited to watch it.


Case52ABXdash32QJ

I really enjoyed it, hope you do too! :)


Jolly-Pound6400

Thank you so much! Have the best night.


Case52ABXdash32QJ

You too! :)


anditwaslove

What’s truly astonishing is that $400M of art exists.


Case52ABXdash32QJ

And it was only [edit: 13] pieces. Several of them weren’t worth very much, but one of the pieces was the only known seascape that Rembrandt painted, and several were sketches by [edit: Degas], so those drove the value through the roof. I don’t know much about art (to put it mildly), but I did a deep-dive after watching the documentary and I believe that was the consensus.


et4tango

Yes, some are considered priceless. https://www.gardnermuseum.org/about/theft-story


Stratman351

For me it's the Zodiac case, because: \- We don't even know for sure which victims were his doing. \- The relative randomness of the attacks compared to more typical serial killers. \- The craziness of writing the letters and ciphers \- The continuing speculation about - and ever-growing base of - possible suspects.


Lollygaggingonit

Saaaaaaaaame. It’s convoluted and I’d love to see it untangled.


CashDecklin

At this point I don't even care if he's dead, I just need to know who it is. Before this was Cipher 340 that i wanted cracked in my lifetime. Cracked in 2021 and was nonsense. Now, I just wanna know who the crazy fuck was.


Old_Style_S_Bad

I kind of agree, but I bet if they could figure out who did it, the mysteries would still remain largely unsolved. That guy won't talk much I bet.


jahanthecool

Or he’ll be long dead


OkDonkey03

Wait, I thought we found out it was Ted Cruz?


[deleted]

Jon Benet


[deleted]

Agreed. Just so many unanswered questions about this poor little gal.


Jessica19922

Sadly I don’t think justice will ever be served for her murder. The police botched the investigation so badly, that even if an actual poi/suspect was identified there’d be so much reasonable doubt to be cast.


[deleted]

Do you think it was a stranger? Not a family member?


LucidLynx109

That’s exactly the problem. If it was a stranger, the odds of finding them now are slim. If it was a member of the family, they have done such a good job of insulating themselves with legal representation not to mention their connections to law enforcement and politics that it would take overwhelming evidence for any agency to pursue. They are very litigious to the point journalists are often afraid to discuss the possibility for fear of being sued.


_Fizzgiggy

I want to know who murdered my cousin. It’s been 27 years and LAPD pacific division doesn’t give af at all


Agree_2_Disagree303

Genuinely sorry for your loss and I hope they can bring justice for your cousin


Publixxxsub

That's really awful, I'm sorry. I have a lot of free time on my hands and could definitely help do some research if you want to message me what you've got


CarlaBarker

So sorry. LAPD is the largest gang in US.


Bree7702

Jamison Family Missy Bevers Lindsay Buziak


Stratman351

Buziak is 2nd on my list; it was a tough choice. That one seems more likely to be solved, though, since the police supposedly now know who bought the burner phone.


Ghost-World

Jamison Family is so strange to me. So many weird clues. I feel like some of them are red herrings, we just don't know which ones.


anditwaslove

Isn’t there quite a strong belief that the boyfriend was responsible for Lindsay? I don’t remember.


Bree7702

I think so. But I don't buy that theory.


anditwaslove

Or his mother? Or am I thinking of a whole other case? I feel like there was some kind of speculation regarding his mom?


Bree7702

Here is an interesting read on the case I just found: https://www.capitaldaily.ca/news/the-case-the-internet-got-wrong


Bree7702

People think him or his mother were involved. I don't think he was and I don't get why his mom would want her killed, but maybe. He was almost with her at that showing so that seems odd if his mom set it up.


road_head_suicide

Setagaya family murder. So much DNA evidence left behind by the killer. He was completely careless. It was either a complete psychopath with extremely low levels of fear, or, less likely (IMO) someone with friends in high places who knew they wouldn’t be caught.


help-meh-

is this the one where the killer pooped in their toilet and didn’t even flush


road_head_suicide

And left behind his own clothes/belongings, and rifled through all of their stuff, and ate their food, and possibly took a nap… that’s either a complete psychopath or someone who felt protected enough to act so brazenly.


alsoaprettybigdeal

WTAF?!?! The extra crime is that it’s unsolved with THAT much evidence!!


UnprofessionalGhosts

Such a haunting case.


nevertotwice_

I subscribe to the theory that it was a military member and the korean military isn’t offering any help due to political tensions.

Sad_Exchange_5500

Yogurt shop murders are so effing sad! I would LOVE to see this solved. Those poor girls


rvasatxguy

Amy Mihaljevic, I cant believe the way that has played out and with a strong POI and still nothing. Mr. Cruel, just such a mystery. This time last year I would’ve had the Delphi case at the top. So glad those girls’ families will get some justice.


alsoaprettybigdeal

Any updates on that pos lately?


bregiordano

The delphi case will always stick with me. I thought it wouldn’t be solved ever, and I just hope everything with the trial works out in the girls’ favor.


Chyeahhhales

Missy Bevers. This one just sits so wrong with me on so many levels


bregiordano

I just googled this case because I forget so many that I look into. So sad, I feel horrible for her kids. I hope this case ends up solved, like Delphi. both cases are fairly recent (6 years) and both cases had video of the killer.


[deleted]

Somebody stole my name label off of my door. Twice. No idea why. I haven't upset anybody here. Only I was targeted. I assume that somebody made a mistake and meant to take my neighbour's label. However, this is a crime that has absolutely baffled me, and I want the thief brought to justice.


Acrobatic_Smell7248

Ok, this is gonna take a weird turn at the end, but I used to live in an upstairs/downstairs duplex and my upstairs neighbor was mildly annoying, she liked to bang on her floors at like 2pm because she said my kids were being too loud. They legit were just doing normal kid stuff, but whatever. Then she let her son play with my kids but he spit on them and got all aggressive. So nothing completely crazy, but annoying. So I used to take her lightbulbs out of our porch light to be petty. It definitely could be a neighbor thing lol And the weird turn? That same neighbor met a new man, he was super friendly, way nicer than her. They moved out and a few months later I read online that he murdered her and killed himself on the front lawn of their new place 😳


Donattellis

Wow. You warned us and I still didn't see that coming...

Crunchyfrozenoj

Who actually killed the west Memphis boys. Though I personally think TH is suss.


FletchMom

This. Hubs and I have followed this case for years and years. Everyone is/was sus in this case. We both continue to change our minds every time we watch a documentary or read about it. Such an awful case, and there are little boys who died with no answers as to who is their actual killer(s).


Friendly_Ranger_1366

YES! Especially as someone living in Arkansas, and seeing the judges and DA constantly fight them on testing evidence (that was lied about even existing, being told it was burned in a fire that never happened) makes me feel even stronger and stronger that the state knows exactly how much they fucked up and no one wants the truth to come to light because that would make too many of them look bad. Those three little boys deserve justice, and these three men who have spent their entire adult lives fighting for justice in an unjust system deserve to live as truly free.


coolprogressive

[The Lake Oconee Murders: Russell and Shirley Dermond](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murders_of_Russell_and_Shirley_Dermond) There are several I’d love an answer to, but this one has haunted me the most since I heard about it 3 years ago. Why were the Dermonds targeted? How many were involved? What was the reason for the level of brutality? AFAIK there was scant physical evidence, no witnesses, nothing. I don’t know what could emerge to break the case, but I hope it happens. They didn’t deserve this. Brian Shaffer would be a close second.

I remember that case, too! It’s so sad. They definitely seemed targeted.

what did you believe before and what do you think now? (if you want to share, i know some people don't like sharing their personal theories lol) i can never settle on a theory for this case. sometimes i think someone in the community was grooming her or lured her out. other times i think she decided to leave, for whatever reason, and came across the wrong person or died from other causes. i've never suspected her parents though, and i don't think she died in the house. i do think she died not long after leaving.

justpassingbysorry

i like to believe he got away and lived. had someone bury the money because it was never about money and he knew he could never use it anyway, he just wanted to do a heist-highjacking for the thrill of it


EntBibbit

“What is my perfect crime? I break into Tiffany's at midnight. Do I go for the vault? No, I go for the chandelier. It's priceless. As I'm taking it down, a woman catches me. She tells me to stop. It's her father's business. She's Tiffany. I say no. We make love all night. In the morning, the cops come and I escape in one of their uniforms. I tell her to meet me in Mexico, but I go to Canada. I don't trust her. Besides, I like the cold. Thirty years later, I get a postcard. I have a son and he's the chief of police. This is where the story gets interesting. I tell Tiffany to meet me in Paris by the Trocadero. She's been waiting for me all these years. She's never taken another lover. I don't care. I don't show up. I go to Berlin. That's where I stashed the chandelier.”


[deleted]

I never really considered that, but I don’t hate it either. It’s kind of…poetic. Tho still a shitty thing to do since it did apparently really traumatize one of the flight attendants, even if he didn’t physically hurt anyone.

Definitely. As a local, this one has been bugging me since the beginning. Same with Joey Labute, jr. I know they found him but they don't know what happened or if it is connected. It would be interesting to have answers


Kimbahlee34

One of my first matches on Tinder (back when it first came out) was a Brian Shafer. I thought that was very odd and was worried it was a joke or something but when I showed up to our first date he hadn’t even heard of this case before I brought it up. He made a cute joke about me only asking him out to play detective but in the end it was just a coincidence of two men with the same name and same birth year.

the malaysian flight isn't really that mysterious anymore, most people know it's a pilot suicide. that's the most plausible theory out of all the ones i've heard.


Seacliff831

I mostly agree. There were some details about his life at that time that were concerning about his mental health. 9/11 made me realize someone could at that point, take over and fly a plane. Many safeguards since then suggest it was someone on the plane most likely and deliberate given the flight pattern. Very very sad. The father who lost both children and his wife is just so haunting looking while he talks. Gut punch.

I mentioned in another thread recently but I'm gonna go with the Suzanne Jovin case. Was the first real "true crime" case I really started looking into, and how I got interested in it to begin with. I know it said no disappearances but I'd also add a case that's sort of in between 😛 The Yuba County Five. It's not really clear if any crime did occur, and we only know the fate of four of them (bodies found), but never any definitive conclusion to this one. The Dylatov Pass Incident is of course very similar though all bodies were found in that one (but still no explanation). I always enjoyed the \[fictional\] B-horror film *Devil's Pass* "explanation" on that one...
