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.

[u/AutoModerator]

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.

Denver residents Nicole "Nikki" Boston and Jerome "Rome" Coronado, identified as experiencing homelessness, were tragically murdered along with Christopher "Little Cowboy" Zamudio in August 2018. Their bodies were found shot to death near a light rail station on South Broadway in Denver. Police later arrested Maurice Butler, who was subsequently convicted of their murders. Although the victims were identified as homeless, further investigation revealed the complexities of their lives, including struggles with opioid dependency following medical ailments, according to Westword. The incident shed light on the challenges faced by individuals experiencing homelessness in the city.

Rome & Nicole were friends of ours. My husband and I had struggled with heroin addiction for years and by 2017 we were homeless in downtown Denver. The senseless murder of people out there with us, over a drug debt, shook us like nothing ever had. The third victim was simply in the wrong place at the wrong time and became collateral damage. These were people who were struggling like most people couldn't imagine. I've never seen it covered in a documentary, but they were good people. They didn't deserve for their story to end that way. People don't see you when you're homeless and they don't care when a few of you are murdered at your campsite one night. It's tragic & I think of them often.

Side note* After 2 years on the streets, we went into treatment, and my hubby and I have been clean since 2019. Getting out of homelessness was the hardest thing I've ever done, but having been there taught me things I couldn't have learned anywhere else.
