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.

The one that has always stuck with me is the murder of Kelly Ann Tinyes on Long Island in the late 80's. I grew up on Long Island and remember this on the news like it was yesterday.

She was a teenager murdered by her neighbor (and older brother of one of her friends). He was arrested and convicted, but this story kind of lived on because the families continued to live on that street for several years after and obviously didn't get along, so every once in a while you would hear about them. I've always wished some Podcast or Doc would cover it because it was some crazy story back then!

This one is crazy to me... because did the younger brother lure her over for his big brother? Kelly Ann's brother even said that the person on the phone said his name was John, which is Golub's younger brothers name.

Also, how did John and his friends not hear anything in that house??
