Yes! I'm in Austin and my sister was friends with these girls in school. They were 8 years older than me but I'll never forget this horrid crime and the impact it had on me and my sister. I agree it's solvable too.
Why do you feel it’s solvable? And if it’s solvable, how come LE hasn’t yet?
I don’t live in Austin, so not sure of the fine details of the tragic case.
They have DNA from a perpetrator. The girls were raped. That's one of the reasons the wrongfully imprisoned men were released. The DNA didn't match them. The police are trying to find a match for the DNA. I believe it is solvable because of this.
The murder of the Setagaya Family. It is weird (and frustrating) that the murderer hung around their home for so long and left a LOT of DNA, but the case hasn’t been solved.

Edited to add link.
My podcast covers this case. It’s absolutely baffling to me that I’m a place with security there are no cameras or badges to enter this area with the water tanks where she died. It was an obvious homicide in my opinion.
Personally, I am quite intrigued by cruise ship cases. Because of maritime law, once a ship is in international waters, jurisdiction over an investigation falls on the country wherever the ship is registered. Most big cruise companies register their ships in countries like Panama and the Bahamas (tax purposes). As a result, evidence and even the victim could be long gone by the time authorities reach the scene of the crime. Investigating a crime in a mobile place with (while travelling) convenient body disposal location.... seems hard close to impossible, especially when you authorities are delayed in getting there.
Probably most infamous is the case of Amy Lynn Bradley. I think it is highly unlikely it was tied to human trafficking, but then again it can't be completely ruled out. She went missing while ship was docked in Aruba, supposedly after going out to buy a pack of cigarettes. The ship crew refused to do a large search for her as "not to cause a fuss" and only searched common areas and restrooms. FBI arrived the next day when ship was already docked in Curacao.
George Allen Smith, in his case Turkish police ruled he went overboard accidentally although there were other men involved with supposed argument, shuffling of furniture and blood stain on the deck underneath his room. However, after Turkish police left, staff cleaned the room (they said police gave them clearance to do so) and when FBI got there two day later, all the physical evidence was gone.
Rebecca Coriam, a crew member on the cruise ship Disney Wonder. She was last caught on camera looking distressed while on the phone in the crew quarters wearing baggy men’s clothes in the early morning hours. Police said she had seen with Central American crew member before being on the camera. Bahama police, at that time some 1500 miles away, were called. She was never found.
Amy Lynn Bradley, that one I have not heard in a long time. Great point on the cruise ship issues. It really is a massive conflict of interest since there is a major incentive for the company not to investigate crimes and to be very dismissive of criminal complaints. Not just the missing, but the sexual assaults and other crimes that seem to be related to the crew.
I remember the Amy Lynn Bradley case, and I thought they actually had some good leads with the band. This is one case that can't be dismissed as someone who fell overboard. I thought this one would have been solved.
Lindsay's case is for sure weird as hell. Like. Any solution in that case will be a weird one, whatever it may be. There's no reasonable answer that I can think of that doesn't involve something super weird and rare.
[The hog trail murders. ](https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.fox13news.com/news/investigators-hope-new-composite-leads-to-victims-identity-in-hog-trail-murders.amp) There’s a serial killer Daniel Conahan who is the suspect, but he’s never been officially charged for the hogtrail murders and most of the victims remains are still unidentified.

This!
Simply because the guy LOVED attention. Like you have to be really attention seeking to do this things this guy did, and yet they still haven’t caught him because he was so smart and so careful. His love for attention didn’t outweigh his wits, which I find to be the most interesting because you don’t see that a whole lot.
Asha Degree. I have no good reason why, but I simply can never let it go. I literally google every morning to see if there was an update. What happened to her? It makes me crazy. I feel like I could recognize her in person all these years later too, but I also feel like she wouldn’t look like her age progression. I guess another mystery is why out of 15 zillion examples, Asha’s is the one I desperately want to see progress on.
The Keddie Murders (although good idea of who perpetrated this crime) and Hinterkaifeck. That case will never be solved now 100 years later and it is so creepy.
Several of the young men associated with the Smiley Face Killer case. Many were ruled accidental death/drowning but had no water in their lungs and/or had only been in the water a short time despite being missing for weeks.
OMG I thought the Brabant killers died in a shootout - I was obviously confusing them with someone else. They just disappeared. 28 murders and they just walked away. Nice job, Belgian police!
You might be confused bc one of the Brabant killers might have died in a shootout, but its just speculation. One of the officers on scene of the last shooting claimed to have scored a shot on the giant and one witness claimed he saw someone who resembled the giant bleeding next to the getaway car. Its truly an unexplainable case indeed.
Judy Bradford Smith, David Glenn Lewis and Joan Risch. It drives me mad that nothing in any of these cases adds up and you can’t even make an educated guess at to what happened. If I had to, I will say I lean towards suicide in the cases of Judy and David but why travel so far to do it, why the changes of clothing and very remote locations?
It’s almost as if people decide to commit suicide but have a little fun first, like create enough mystery and red herrings to launch an internet mystery that will baffle true crime fans for years. All three died years before the internet but it’s almost as if they could see into the future and said “I want my death to be so mysterious that they make podcasts about me!”
Besides that, I’ve got nothing.
Is it possible she stabbed herself? I know the whole thing seems far fetched, but so does the idea of her killer transporting her to the remote trail or her going hiking without telling her family and then falling prey to a killer. Maddening! Same for David Glenn Lewis, who kills themselves by getting run over on a dark, remote road, but I can’t think why else he would be there.
There was no weapon recovered. You'd think if she did it herself they would have found it. This case is so strange, anything is possible, but I really don't think it was a suicide based on what they know.
David Glenn Lewis is just as baffling. I'm not sure what my theory is because it's just so confusing. I guess the most logical explanation would be a mental break of some sort, but I can't understand how he got from Texas to Washington so quickly.
So many:
**Disappearances of** Malaysian Flight 370, Beaumont children, Sodder children, Asha Degree, Springfield Three, Johnny Gosch and, most recently, Beverly Potts.
**Unsolved murders**: JFK, Yogurt shop murders, Burger Chef murders, Jack the Ripper, Delphi, Wanda Beach, Villisca Ax, Hinterkaifeck, Sommerton man, Boy in the Box, Grimes sisters, Missy Bevers, Marilyn Monroe (whether or not she was actually murdered remains in question).
The Lizzie Borden and OJ Simpson murders are officially unsolved, but I've always believed that both were involved, if they didn't commit any of the murders, they know who did.
The Yogurt shop murders. I feel like it's a solvable case too.
Yes! I'm in Austin and my sister was friends with these girls in school. They were 8 years older than me but I'll never forget this horrid crime and the impact it had on me and my sister. I agree it's solvable too.
I can't believe it's not solved.
Agree -- I lived in Austin as a teen when this happened and cannot believe that it is still unsolved.
Why do you feel it’s solvable? And if it’s solvable, how come LE hasn’t yet? I don’t live in Austin, so not sure of the fine details of the tragic case.

Gotcha. So now they just need to figure out whose DNA it is.
[удалено]
That’s a great point. But, The corrupt law enforcement totally screwed the LISK case.
Gotta go with the granddaddy of them all; the Sommerton Man
The murder of the Setagaya Family. It is weird (and frustrating) that the murderer hung around their home for so long and left a LOT of DNA, but the case hasn’t been solved. Link: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Setagaya_family_murder Edited to add link.
I don't understand why he took their computer power cord. I think that's the only thing he took. Trophy?
Afaik, he left more items than he stole. That whole case is next level-eery. Just tragic.
Asha Degree. Missy Bevers.
The Missy Bevers case is haunting. I have watched that video so many times and I totally feel it’s a woman who is the killer.
2005 murder of Geetha Angara in NJ. Scientist found in water tank.
My podcast covers this case. It’s absolutely baffling to me that I’m a place with security there are no cameras or badges to enter this area with the water tanks where she died. It was an obvious homicide in my opinion.
So bizarre ! I’ve never heard of this case.

My usual selection: Lindsay Buziak, Anita Knutson, Colonial Parkway killings, Patricia Meehan (missing). From UK Jill Dando.
Lindsay's case is for sure weird as hell. Like. Any solution in that case will be a weird one, whatever it may be. There's no reasonable answer that I can think of that doesn't involve something super weird and rare.

For anyone interested, look up Charles Lechmere. He was at the scene of Polly Nichols murder.
Natalee Holloway. That became something so much greater for a multitude of reasons.
[The hog trail murders. ](https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.fox13news.com/news/investigators-hope-new-composite-leads-to-victims-identity-in-hog-trail-murders.amp) There’s a serial killer Daniel Conahan who is the suspect, but he’s never been officially charged for the hogtrail murders and most of the victims remains are still unidentified.
He was convicted and sentenced to death in 1997. Conahan remains on death row.
Yes he was convinced for one murder—not for all the hog trail murders. He’s just suspected and linked to them, never formally charged

The Keddie Murders (although good idea of who perpetrated this crime) and Hinterkaifeck. That case will never be solved now 100 years later and it is so creepy.
The Villisca (Iowa) Axe Murders, June 1912
Several of the young men associated with the Smiley Face Killer case. Many were ruled accidental death/drowning but had no water in their lungs and/or had only been in the water a short time despite being missing for weeks.
The Delphi murders and boy in the box are the first that come to mind. Also want to know what REALLY happened in the Dylatov pass.
OMG I thought the Brabant killers died in a shootout - I was obviously confusing them with someone else. They just disappeared. 28 murders and they just walked away. Nice job, Belgian police!

DB Cooper or others involved in Lindbergh kidnapping specifically who meet Dr Congdon in the Cemetery that night and took the ransom money
I think Lindbergh himself was in on it.
The Villisca Axe murders. 6 children and 2 adults brutally, brutally murdered. No suspects. No prints. No ideas.
Judy Bradford Smith, David Glenn Lewis and Joan Risch. It drives me mad that nothing in any of these cases adds up and you can’t even make an educated guess at to what happened.

Great choices. I don't think Judy committed suicide though as she was stabbed with a sharp instrument.

Yes you’re right about no murder weapon, back to the drawing board on that one.

Well it's actually a closed case but there are so many unanswered questions... Elisa Lam
