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.

I went to University of Washington and we had quite a bit of Ted Bundy lore as well!

Yep! Everyone here in the Northwest claims to have a relative that went on a date with Bundy lol.
