@Labobo

Andrew Gosden, definitely Kris Kremers and Lisane Froon in Panama. That story doesn't add up. The Al Hilli murders in France
The two Dutch girls who disappeared in Panama would be the first one I would choose too.

I'm mildly obsessed with the CanAm Missing / Missing 411 project, correlated by David Paulides. Thousands of people have gone missing from public lands and wilderness areas - men, women and children of all ages. Many just vanish without a trace, often in a matter of minutes; some are found in places seemingly impossible to get to, many are never seen again and nothing is ever found, or sometimes just a few random remains or pieces of clothing are found, often in areas that have been previously searched. It's fascinating reading. There are a lot of strange commonalities in many of the cases, and lots of theories, some highly outlandish (Bigfoot, portals, fae etc.). I don't believe in any of that but the facts of many of the cases do seem to defy 'normal' explanation. As someone who spends a huge amount of time in the outdoors here in Canada, often alone with just my dogs in fairly remote areas, it's made me reassess my safety and survival prep for sure.

Oh, and the disappearance of 28-year-old German Lars Mittank, who was last seen fleeing Varna Airport in Bulgaria in July 2014. Airport security cameras caught the last sighting of him. He’s never been found.

Andrew Gosden and Ben Needham

There is a really good podcast out at the mo called The Missing. It goes over cases of people that have gone missing the recent one was of Andrew Gosden with his dad Kevin talking .There is a few others that are really interesting to .
With Andrew I've always found it hard to believe how a 14yrs old boy can just vanish into thin air I do believe something happened to him I don't believe he just run away from home to many things to suggest otherwise.

Pimlicojo · 20/01/2021 09:06

Alistair Wilson
Lord Lucan
Madeleine McCann

Also Trevor someone in Dublin, sorry can't remember his surname. A really sad story.

Incyra · 20/01/2021 09:13

Definitely the Falconio case - the backpacker that went missing in the Australian outback.

Kndg · 20/01/2021 09:20

Jack the Ripper case
Texarkana Moonlight murders
The Zodiac Killer

I'm currently reading The hunt for the Serpent (Charles Sobhraj) after watching the BBC show. Truly chilling stuff.

Frownette · 20/01/2021 10:00
  1. Zodiac
  2. Madeleine McCann
  3. Claudia Lawrence

Never heard of the London monster?

@Flappitsnappit how awful Flowers

sashh · 20/01/2021 10:21

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

The police were also convinced Colin Stag was guilty.

SoCrimeaRiver · 20/01/2021 11:06

@samanthawashington do you mean Shergar? I think it was shot after it became injured when it panicked.

I know I’ve listed my three above but I’d also love to know the truth about what happened to Nora Quoirin.

QuimReaper · 20/01/2021 17:01

I was listening to a podcast about Andrew Gosden just this morning and thinking how much I wish it would be solved one way or another. I know it's common to all families of missing children / relatives, but it really must be torture not knowing what happened to him, and it's such a strange case. His face is still on posters all over London, and someone knows something about what happened to him - or did at one stage.

QuimReaper · 20/01/2021 17:02

Wasn't the Ben Needham case solved a couple of years ago?

Generate Tate's disappearance in 1978 which distressed me a lot as a child, didn't know her or family but we lived relatively close by.

Rainbowandscarlett · 20/01/2021 17:32

The red shoe murder (Norma dale) in York back in the 40’s (I think)

Claudia Lawrence
