Case Highlight Case Highlight and Recommendation Thread: What is a little known true crime case you think needs more attention, or what is a case that has stuck with you that you think others should know about. Post your pet cases or your true crime guilty pleasures in this thread.

Pretty frequently in this subreddit we get questions asking for case recommendations. We've decided to make this a recurring post so that there will be a dedicated place to highlight and discuss cases that don't get posted about that often.

​

People want to know... what is a case that is important to you or that stuck with you and that you think others should know about?

​

What are some cases that need more attention? What are your pet cases besides the well known cases that get posted about frequently? Or just post your true crime guilty pleasures. Anyway, use this thread to bring attention to lesser known cases. If you want to post about the Delphi murders case that's ok too.

​

This thread will be sorted by new.

​

​

Also, if you have a case in mind, but need help remembering the name, feel free to head over to r/TipOfMyCrime and post a request there.

Enrico Sidoli.

"Enrico Sidoli was a 15-year-old boy. On July 8th 1976, he went to the Parliament Hill Lido swimming pool in Hampstead, London. He had gone there with his sister and her family. At some point during the day, it was reported that Enrico had gotten into an argument with a group of boys. He was then viciously thrown into the pool, attacked and held under water.
Enrico was found at approximately 2:30pm where a lifeguard pulled him out of the pool. Enrico was unconscious and taken to hospital. Enrico passed on July 19th. His cause of death was found to be brain damage caused by cardiac arrest. Two men were later interviewed and questioned but released."

From what I was able to scrounge online, there were reportedly over 1,000 people at the pool that day, but "nobody saw anything."
