Steven Avery/Brendan Dassey because I just think it will go on forever if not

Madeleine McCann

And a local case. A young women and mother just disappeared a couple of years ago. The family still appeal constantly with banners everywhere. Its so odd

Madeleine McCann

Jonbenet Ramsay

Andrew Gosden

Sorry to be greedy but there are several where I'd like to know one way or the other whether someone definitely "did it" I.e Steven Avery, Amanda Knox, Michael Peterson, Darlie Routier

There are loads more

Roystonv · 19/01/2021 11:14

As op's have covered many of the sad, modern cases I would go the prince's in the tower, the Marie Celeste and the Kennedy assassination.

William Tyrrell - whatever happened to this 3 year old? So sad

The 3 Beaumont children. A shocking case of these 3 missing siblings. Why were they never found?

I always say my ideal super power would be to just know the truth, know what happened in every case and every murder.

For me, more than solve, I'd like to know what really happened in the following cases:

Michael Peterson
The Friedman's (great documentary)
Steven Avery
Marilyn Monroe
Adnan Syed
Darlie Routier

TheQueef · 19/01/2021 12:00

Charlene Downes and Ben Needham.
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disappearance_of_Charlene_Downes
There's so much murk in Charlenes story she never stood a chance.
The Needhams aren't satisfied with the digger driver theory.

BorderlineHappy · 19/01/2021 14:40

Also i would like all the Jane and John Doe to get their names back.

Also Andrew Gosden, so weird he just upped and left one day.

And also DeOrr Kunz

I so think Adnan is innocent.
52andblue · 19/01/2021 14:53

I'd like Keith Bennett's mother to have known his whereabouts: very sad.

More recently:
Jill Dando
JonBenet Ramsay
Madeleine McCann

BUT: there must be SO many children going missing around the world every day who will never be known or spoken of, perhaps even in their own communities. RIP to all of them.

Blueberrycreampie · 19/01/2021 14:56

Lord Lucan, Madeleine McCann, Ben Needham.

nyoman · 19/01/2021 15:15

Andrew Gosden

He is the spitting image of my son, and it makes me weep every time I see the posters with him on (there is one on a route I take once a week). I don't think I would ever recover if my son disappeared like that, so I cannot imagine to despair of his parents. I also wonder just how distressed he felt that he had to run away. Just sonraw and upsetting.

lljkk · 19/01/2021 15:20

Any 3 relatively quite anonymous disappearances of a child under 18 in last 20 yrs where the police & family have tried hard but not made known progress in figuring out what happened. All these famous people had a lot of attention already.

ememem84 · 19/01/2021 15:20

i thought that they got someone for Jill Dando's murder? Or was he found to be innocent. it was a while ago and i was still at school.

Jonbenet Ramsey
Madeleing McCann

Who Jack the ripper was
Who the Zodiac killer was
Carole Baskin's husband

nineyearsapart · 19/01/2021 15:33

Andrew Gosden- he looked so gentle, hate to think that someone took advantage of him and harmed him.

Lee Boxell- Remember seeing this case when I was a kid, he had a lovely kind look about him. I was reminded when i saw his parents on crimewatch saying they have never changed his room...so sad

Johnny Gosch- a real rabbit hole of info, especially the modern theories

Madeleine McCann- such a mystery

Herdwick · 19/01/2021 15:34

I'm surprised to see so many people saying Madeline McCann, I thought police in Germany were fairly certain they know what happened to her now?

Claudia Lawrence and Suzie Lamplugh are the main ones for me.

There has been times in my life e.g when I've been younger with a bit of a party lifestyle and living in houseshares with bar jobs etc that I've realised that it would probably take at least a week before anyone seriously considered raising the alarm that I was missing. The first few days it would have just been assumed I was staying elsewhere/ was at work etc. I was pretty reliable so one of my jobs may have raised the alarm eventually, but again, it probably wouldn't be immediately.

It was Claudia Lawrence's disappearance that made me become a lot more careful about making sure someone else knew what my plans were.

KilljoysDutch · 19/01/2021 15:34

JonBenet Ramsey
Madeline Mccann
Ben Needham because his mother deserves the peace of knowing at last.

OnlyFoolsnMothers · 19/01/2021 15:35

Claudia Lawrence- seeing her dad breaks my heart

Maddie McCann

Ben Needham
