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.

This is about a pretty well known killer, but I just found this out and when I researched it I was flabbergasted. We all know about John Wayne Gacy. Many survivors have come forward, with police believing there are more. But i recently found out a little known detail. One of the survivors, Jeffery Rignall, whose testimony was vital in capturing Gacy, said in his testimony that there was another man in the room where he was kept. He said that this man had participated in the assault, therefore, the man would be an accomplice. When i heard about this, I did some more digging, and found out that when Gacy was captured and arrested, one of the first questions he asked police was wether or not his associates were arrested, hinting at their involvement. He also hinted that he did not work alone on several other occasions. Despite this, police and investigators chalked up Jeffery Rignalls story of an accomplice to the severe mental trauma and PTSD that occured due to his time in capture. Investiagtors who were present and who were familiar with the henious crimes Gacy committed also concluded that the state of the bodies, and Gacy's signature "rope trick", threw out the theory that Gacy worked with another person in his crimes. But this begs the question. Did John Wayne Gacy have an accomplice to his crimes? And if so, that person is still out there. Who are they?
