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

I was watching a true crime podcast on YouTube and it finished and went to a random suggestion and it was a 2 minute video of a crime scene inside a subway from the 80s on an ordinary news channel.

I looked into the case and there’s nothing on it apart from a one column blurb in the newspaper at the time and the victims photo being sold on Amazon. It’s so weird .. and I can’t stop thinking about it.

Anyone else?

Claudia Lawrence case baffles me. So sad her dad died without knowing what happened to his daughter.

Yes all the time.The Meredith Kutcher case was one I followed. But there have been loads, I get really into them.

The Idaho student murders, just can’t get my head round a person killing these lovely bright beautiful kids. So sad.

What is the case?? I love a good true crime story to look into 😨

Ooh if you could find anything. I can’t think of anything else.

I’ve attached the only news article I could find. The crime scene is unsettling, just how people were walking by it going about their day.

Kris Kremers and Lisanne Froon in Panama. There is no way they got lost. I've read books/watched documentaries/scoured Reddit.

Also the Delphi murders. I'm amazed they caught him.

I wouldn’t say obsessed but the Bamber murders pique my interest. Did he or didn't he? I'm not persuaded he did.

The disappearance of Suzy Lamplugh. No one will ever know I don’t think..

Or who ‘Mr Kipper’ really was.

I was obsessed by the Reeva Steinkamp murder and followed the trial Oscar Pistorius trial every day. Weird to think it was 10 years ago and he's now out.

Wow can't believe it was that long ago.

I also become very invested in certain stories. I think when something doesn't quite make sense you want to find answers.

When you feel like that as a bystander i find it really helps me empathise with the poor families who have no idea what happened to their loved ones. And I hope they appreciate stories being kept current on peoples minds as it means people haven't stopped looking for answers.
