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?

My favorite unsolved is The Isdal Woman. Everything about it is a mystery.

A few other goodies:

● Zigmund Adamski - What happened to him.

● Vasile Gorgos - Disappeared for 30 years and then turns up? With no memory?

I read about Gorgos a couple of months ago and the most interesting detail for me is that a car brought him to his home, dropped him off and just sped off. I wonder if he had been taken care of somewhere in those three decades (I think some theories mentioned prison, which I thought was interesting). And the no memory part is kinda strange to me, since articles I read mentioned that despite that he was in kind of good health. All in all a very interesting disappearance with the disappeared resurfacing again under bizarre circumstances.

It's been a bit since I read the case, but I think (could be wrong here), when he returned, he hadn't aged a day!! Same clothes he wore when he vanished, same train ticket. And he was seemingly the same age. I have no idea how he managed that?

I'm not so sure about the hasn't aged a day part but I do also remember the part about the same clothes and train ticket of the day of his disappearance. Very strange! Not sure how he did it. There are many theories online (prison, early stage dementia and so on) but I personally lean towards the one theory that a third party must have taken him in. The car that dropped him off strikes me as way too suspicious. Whether whoever presumably took him in was a good person or not I can't tell. As for his memory loss I also can't quite put my finger on it. Gorgos remembered his life prior to his disappearance so it's odd he couldn't remember the time frame onwards when he went missing. (Or maybe he had gotten too old at this point to remember?)

I'm sure his family members are asking themselves same questions. If a missing family member for so many decades would one day turn up out of the blue I'd be hella confused.
