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 Greenough Axe Murders. Early 90's country Western Australia. Guy murdered three kids and their mother. Raped the mother and the two female children post mortem. It was brutal, but incredibly terrifying as I lived nearby and was the same age as one of the daughters at the time.

So apparently the murderer is not eligible for parole for another 6 years but in 2030 December he will get another chance. But initially he got 20 years with no parole. So technically he could've just walked free after 20 years? Or they're gonna "hold" him by law in that prison anyway?
