To ask if you’ve ever become obsessed with a murder case?

Netflix have got a new documentary coming out about the Mendenez case

Title please?

I’m from Doncaster and I think about this one too. There was something on the news last year where they arrested 2 men in connection with the kidnap and human trafficking but haven’t heard anything since.

I also regularly think about Ben Needham. Not confirmed dead but missing all this time. His poor mum 😢

I often think about the mystery that is Andrew Gosden's disappearance. The police still talk about him as if they think he is alive. I am baffled by this one.

Daniel Morgan’s murder.

it ties in with so many other crimes and incidents from the Brinks Mat robbery to NoTW phone hacking to Leah Betts death

Always found this story fascinating..

They reckon there are other victims of Fred West buried, I read a lot of books on them, and Rose all safe in prison watching “come dancing” her favourite tv programme! I also read a lot of books on Jeremy Bamber case.

Anyone read about Elizabeth Barraza, who was shot and killed while setting up a garage sale in Texas in 2019?
Very very strange, unsolved case.

Peter Falconio in the outback.

Several years ago I was in Lancashire over a long weekend near Preston. On the drive up there, there was a news report that a womsns body had been found in another Lancashire town, and I remember thinking how awful it was, and relatively close as well. Some time later after the trial, a documentary about the perpetrators of this woman's murder was on TV ( the murder of Sadie Hartley), it was the most bizarre story and unfortunately true.
I watched the documentary 3 times, trying to understand the individuals involved and the lady's boyfriend as well.
It's an extremely sad story, but had me obsessed like it was a novel, for some time.

@CauliflowerBalti whenever I see either of his parents on tv I am struck by their dignity and their determination to get justice for James. I just don't know how anyone can be so brave.

The Casey Anthony case, didn’t miss a single day of the court case, couldn’t believe it when she got off

I still think about the murder of Jon Benet Ramsey at least half a dozen times a year.

The general "internet sleuth" consensus seems to have settled on the brother killing her accidentally, and the parents covering it up so as not to lose 2 children that night. Poor little thing has been gone a long time now... 1996 I think it was.

And of course, Madeline MacCann. So weird and sad on so many levels.

I'm obsessed with the Chris Watts family killer on YouTube.

I feel that when I get the time I will solve the 'Jack the ripper' case. It gripped me decades ago n still does.

@CauliflowerBalti I still think about those poor little boys a lot too!

The murder of Jamie Bulger. I had a dream about him when I was pregnant. It was extremely vivid and real. He came to me out of a dark space, not like a normal dream where you’re in a location. I was nowhere, it was just a black space and he was suddenly there, naked and covered in blue paint.

He held his arms out to be picked up and said, “I cried and cried and no one came.”, and then I woke up because I was so upset. Haunted for days.

And since then the case has really played on my mind. I can’t get over the evil.

Baby P affected me in the same way as a result.

I regularly get obsessed with a case.
Making of a Murderer
JonBenet Ramsey
etc.
Just watched a documentary on Amazon about Keli Lane. Wow. Just fascinating. Couldn’t understand why she got pregnant so often and nobody acknowledged it.

A couple of people have mentioned Genette Tate, Robert Black was due to be charged but died beforehand. Pretty sure he’s suspected of April Fabb’s murder amongst many others. He was a lorry driver and is linked to cases on the continent too

Rachel Nickell, Wimbledon Common. Witnessed by her toddler son 😥

The Yorkshire Ripper- I was late teens/early 20s when he was at large and it was a very terrifying time for those of us in the north.
The whole case fascinates me, particularly the lives of those poor victims, both the girls he killed and the ones he attacked who survived.

The BBC’s ‘Paradise’ podcast. Death in ice valley. And Serial. But the paradise podcast was particularly emotional. The scene in the cemetery with the family sent shivers.

When he was caught my late OH said Shit, that's Pete I worked with in Bingley churchyard when In was a student!

A few interest me for various reasons,
I'm one of the evil boomers and just before I was born a 7 year old boy from near us was murdered and the murderer was never found. Fast forward to the '80s, we were viewing a house and when the vendor heard where I was from he mentioned this murder, he'd been a policeman working on the case. He told us that they knew who'd done it but couldn't prove it, they let the man know, he didn't deny it, and he moved away shortly afterwards but the police made sure that wherever he went the local police knew.
Another time I read a short piece in a newspaper about a murder, didn't recognise the name but scanning the death notices in the paper realised it was our former baby-sitter, it was an awful feeling.
When a 3 year old went missing in a NAAFI shop in Germany, never to be found, we were in that shop the same day and our 3 year old was so like her.
