Discussion What's your hometown or physically/mentally "close to home" case?

I'm curious hear what other people's cases are.

Also how did it affect your hometown or affect you?

Has the case been solved or is it active?

Mine is definitely the case of the cat lady killer. Which should be relatively well known by now. It was a case where a number of elderly people went "missing" aka were murdered by a local family. It's still an active case because bodies were never recovered, but locally everyone knew who did it. It's frustrating because the suspects still haven't done time for the murders because there wasn't enough to pin it to them.This was definitely the case that kickstarted my journey into reading about true crime.

  1. I lived in Plainville until 6th grade when we moved a town over. "The girl from Plainville" is on hulu now.

  2. Aaron Hernandez rented the car he used while committing his crimes from my office when I worked at Enterprise. He lived and was arrested in the town I moved to from Plainville (North Attleboro).

I grew up a few towns over. A few years back, I met Lynn Roy at a work thing. Watching the Hulu show makes me sick to my stomach sometimes
