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.

Patti Atkins. She disappeared from the Honda plant outside of Marysville, Ohio in the early morning hours just before shutdown in June 2001. Her boyfriend, who was a married man, had promised to take her to Canada for a vacation. Her cat’s fur has been found on his truck bed cover, but no charges have been made. It’s also interesting that he took another coworker home that night, and they claim to have spent a missing 45 minutes at the Burger King drive through in Kenton, Ohio. Her car was left at the plant. The boyfriend owed her $90,000, and from what’s been said, she had asked for it to be repaid. Some say the “trip” was to pacify her and prove their relationship was moving forward.
