Just that really, what one unsolved crime/mystery/news story do toy wish would be solved?

For me, its Madeleine McCann. It may well just be because of the age I am, its one of the first ones I remember really clearly as it happened.

What about you?

For me, being from NZ, I’d like to see the Kirsa Jensen case solved. She was riding her horse along the beach in the city one over from mine and disappeared. Her horse was found. She was 14 in 1983, I was 10, it haunted us for a long time and I think of her often.

Just a mystery, not a crime, but I'd love to know how the pyramids were built and why. They still don't know.

And what actually happened to kill off all the dinosaurs.

Those will never be solved definitively though. I don't really believe in an afterlife but if they is one, I look forward to finally finding out the answers to all these things.

Crimes, the full truth about any of the conspiracy ones like exactly what they knew of 9/11 before it happened etc.

Claudia lawrence, Suzy Lamplugh, Maura Murray, Richie Edwards. So so many

Likethebattle · 08/04/2019 00:53

Suzanne Pilley, where is she? I totally believe her colleague killed her.

Madeleine McCann, I think someone in that party knows what happened.

Bible John was it Peter Tobin?

Koalablue · 08/04/2019 00:54

The Beaumont children.

HappydaysArehere · 08/04/2019 00:57

MM I really long for her to turn up somewhere as others have done. I am sure there would be an outpouring of delight.

ConcealDontFeeI · 08/04/2019 01:00

Corrie and Maddie.

Nu2u · 08/04/2019 01:05

2 mysteries I thought would have been mentioned that intrigue me are DB Cooper and MH370. Baffling.

WhatNowRandy · 08/04/2019 01:47

Maura Murray and Andrew Gosden, too.
I'm also curious as to what happened to Brandon Lawson.

user1497863568 · 08/04/2019 01:50

9/11

wyoudo · 08/04/2019 02:03

Jon benet looks like it was solved, well a paedophile Gary Oliva admitted to killing her to a cell mate.

colbyandmontysmum · 08/04/2019 02:36

Dyatlov Pass - very weird story - those university students were extremely experienced hikers so what happened to them is a total mystery especially since, after the bodies were found, the Pass was closed for three years.

Also the Vanished Regiment of WWI

Aquamarine1029 · 08/04/2019 02:59

Andrew Gosden has literally kept me up at night. Maura Murray. MM. Claudia Lawrence. Jennifer Kesse.

Sadly, there are too many to mention.

Aquamarine1029 · 08/04/2019 03:02

Trevor Deely. Annie McCarrick.

paddyplaistow · 08/04/2019 03:12

Andrew Gosden, his disappearance is so baffling.
I know of people in the area where Claudia Lawrence lived. People have closed ranks and just won't speak up.
I think about so many whose families are suffering.
I knew a lad who is missing and it's terrible.

Toddlerteaplease · 08/04/2019 03:18

Andrew Gosden
Jill Dando
Keith Bennet
Annie Bella Wright. (1919)

Thisisthelaststraw · 08/04/2019 03:18

Trevor Deely. I really thought there was going to be closure when a new site was examined recently but sadly no luck.

It feels wrong to make only one suggestion. I’d like all families of the missing to find answers and though the truth may be terribly painful they could somehow begin to heal knowing what happened to their loved one.

Dragonlight · 08/04/2019 03:43

The Beaumont Children and Kirste and Joanne Ratcliffe.

Dragonlight · 08/04/2019 03:44

Kirste Gordon

RageAgainstTheVendingMachine · 08/04/2019 03:50

Rebecca Coriam. Missing at sea 8 years ago.

www.theguardian.com/uk/2011/nov/11/rebecca-coriam-lost-at-sea

There are many cruise ship losses and even more rapes.
Occam's razor indicates more often than not, suicides or accident/drinking.
But safeguarding, cruise ship staff vetting and investigation protocols need a huge rehaul in my opinion.

nomoreshitshow · 08/04/2019 04:20

I still want to know what happened to Amelia Earhart! She was such an incredible woman, it seems awful that we don't know how she disappeared.

JAPAB · 08/04/2019 04:33

Who really killed teresa halbach. This would also potentially get two innocent men out of prison.

Michaela Joy Garecht was abducted by a stranger in a witnessed kidnapping in 1988. That is another case where it would be great for the family to have closure.

FoxFoxSierra · 08/04/2019 04:45

All of the ones mentioned so far and William Tyrell

YeOldeTrout · 08/04/2019 05:43

Selfishly: MM. To get the story out of news forever. I'm convinced the explanation is extremely boring.

Not Selfishly: Fate of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 could be most important to solve for most people.

ShanghaiDiva · 08/04/2019 05:58

Genette Tate - disappeared in 1978.
I can remember the news articles really clearly as she is a bit older than me and also from Devon.
