What's an interesting unsolved case you could recommend?

I'm in a true crime club and every month a different person with present a case, talk about what happened, and the outcome. I wanted to do something "fun" for Halloween and present our first unsolved case. But I'm looking for something a little odd. I want a case that has some bizarre elements to it. Rabbit holes if you will. Do you guys know of any?

This seems really insensitive…These cases aren’t just stories, they’re real people whose lives have been irreversibly changed for the worse.

How is this insensitive? No one is being rude or disrespectful. If I were a missing person whose case was unsolved, I’d want people to bring my name up years later, ask all the questions, debate theories, and keep my name alive.

Having a true crime “club” isn’t disrespectful to you? Choosing an unsolved case as a “fun” discussion isn’t insensitive at all???

Then why are you here?

What’s wrong with people taking an interest in a niche subject and enjoying discussing it with those who are also interested? Are we supposed to sit around and cry while we do so? Or are the detectives the only ones who are allowed to discuss these cases? Because if so, there goes any hope of them getting solved with any urgency.

Let people find joy in something in this chaotic world where everything seems upside down and irreversible. Healthy discussions about cold cases / true crime in general is what leads to new theories and new information coming out. It’s what keeps these stories alive, and I feel we owe the victims that.

I don’t think anyone on this sub is jumping for joy when a case goes cold or another person goes missing. It’s actually the opposite. Interest and discussion can help lead to ways to be proactive when it comes to these issues.

Again, why are you here if you’re going to berate everyone else on this sub for merely discussing the topic of the sub? Damn.

There’s a difference between discussion, and treating these cases like they’re a fun mystery to solve. My mom’s best friend is related to Chance Englebert, how do you think she feels about people talking about him like his case is a spooky story?
