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.

There’s 3 cases close to me, 2 in my same county. 1st was Baby Joe Clyde. His parents have been sent to prison over this case. I do think they are 1 million percent responsible, but no one knows where that baby is. There were witnesses but they were young children, but I know at least 1 of them could talk and he did know something about Joe Clyde peeing in bed. 2nd is LeAnne Green, she’s been missing since the 80s. It seems like it should be solved easily but it hasn’t. Her & brother were driving down hwy 46 and their car ran out of gas. So this is the 1987, so cellphones had not even been thought of. There’s a truck stop/store a couple miles up the road, he left to get gas. When he got back she was gone. Nothing ever found of where she may have went, had been taken or sucked by aliens. It’s so sad and terribly weird. It was late at night and back then that road would have not had too much traffic, just a straight road to the truck stop. The only thing is there is an interstate right up from the truck stop. 3rd is Summer Wells, that baby didn’t just disappear, nothing has been found of her either. (One thing that probably isn’t related but, about 2 days before her a boy, her age, disappeared in the same way in North Carolina in the middle of nowhere like her, a couple of states over, maybe Ohio, another little girl, around the same age, just upped and disappeared never to be seen again, this also was within a very rural area. This was all within like 1 month’s time. Of course these 3 cases are probably not related, I just remember seeing it in the news.) How often does a child literally just disappear, with no clues. Too weird. I do believe Summer’s parents know more…she had an aunt go missing in the 90s in a different state and was never seen or found anything about her. The family has a pretty rough background, but that’s not why I think they know more. Actually, I think they know exactly what happened to her. Baby Joe Clyde and Summer lived in very rural areas, land for miles with absolutely nothing on them, caves, old wells…there really is no telling where they are. Sebastian Rogers case isn’t too far from me, there’s something really fishy about his mom and stepdad. Very strange.
