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? Scotland Yard appear not to agree and the German police have no evidence.

Renee Macrae
Madeleine McCann
Keith Bennett

Would also want to know what really happened to Arlene Fraser

@ememem84

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

A local man who had learning difficulties called Barry George was arrested & convicted of Jill’s murder. The evidence against him was always very thin (the gun was never found, there were no eyewitnesses, no clear motive etc etc) and many people doubted from the start that George was remotely capable of what was effectively a professional execution.

A campaign his behalf resulted in his conviction being quashed A few years later. He was acquitted and released from jail. The murder remains unsolved.

I don’t suppose we’ll ever really know whether George was innocent or not.

I watched a documentary on it a few years ago and the police certainly didn’t believe he had been wrongly convicted.

Either way, while he may have been innocent of Jill Dando’s murder, he certainly wasn’t a poor innocent who was picked on because of his learning difficulties. He had an awful record of rape and sexual assault behind him.

Andrew Gosden
Claudia Lawrence
Jill Dando

Don’t know why but I’ve always felt that Andrew Gosden could possibly still be alive somewhere. I’ve often wondered if he was trafficked and now can’t get out of it.

TornadoOfSouls · 19/01/2021 15:51

I would like to see the rest of Stephen Lawrence’s killers brought to justice.

The Zodiac killer is a fascinating case, just so odd, like something out of a bad novel that would be almost laughable if it weren’t (tragically) true.

I would like to know for sure whether Tex Watson, one of the Manson killers, has genuinely found God and is truly remorseful or not. Not that it would make any difference to things really, I would just like to know!

Helen McCourt - her killer has been released from prison but has consistently refused to reveal what he did with her body and where her remains are. I’d love for her to be returned to her mother.

Letsallscreamatthesistene · 19/01/2021 15:54
  1. where my cat went once for 24hrs, and came back covered in lavender smelling oil

  2. the case of that man who washed up on a beach in the 1950's (I think), with cryptic note in his pocket. Ill find out the name of the case in a second.

I dont have a 3rd....

golddustwomen · 19/01/2021 15:54

There are so many, Andrew Godson really sticks in my mind, I find myself thinking about him every now and then.

Letsallscreamatthesistene · 19/01/2021 15:55

The Delphi murders

2 girls murdered walking over the bridge. One girl knew something was amiss when a man was spotted walking towards them and had presence of mind to record him, so FBI have a video and voice all retrieved from her phone....but NO suspect. At all

Please google this. The girls were called Abby and Libby

MrsRosiieP · 19/01/2021 15:57

MH 370.... wtf happened to it?!

GirlCrush · 19/01/2021 15:58

Also, check out the website called Websleuths

They champion missing people/unclaimed bodies as well as look at all cases of missing people and crime

Warning.....it’s a rabbit hole! So much to read and it’s very respectful
