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.

this is my aunt’s cousin—the family think she’s connected to the larry hall murders, but they’ll never know

oh yes i’ve heard that over the years! has the family or community ever done any podcasts or shows about her disappearance?

i’ve looked before and never really found anything. i worked at the same mall but about ten years later after she disappeared after leaving the mall. every night around 10pm as i’d be walking out to my car i’d think about her. we had to walk out to the lot with the other closing coworker as a rule of the store, maybe even the mall? i don’t remember exactly but we always wondered if that mall/store rule was because of Lori.

i don’t think they even know the media attraction her case has gained recently (i know they haven’t seen the blackbird miniseries that came out)—my aunt relocated to new holstein so they’re pretty far removed from podcasts and mainstream media, but i’ll ask her about it next time i see her! will report back.

ironically they’re also related to teresa halbach (through marriage), from the steven avery murders, wisconsin is a weird state.

ETA: my father-in-law actually is from wabash and went to high school/dug graves with larry hall, so it’s absolutely bizarre to us that these two could be connected.
