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

[sheknoedidhitit]

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?

Yes.

Like a few others mentioned in here, it isn't technically a "murder", but it's fascinating nonetheless. How it's not as well documented or widely heard of as JonBenet and so on is beyond me.

Regardless of what you believe happened, it's undeniable Casey Anthony is a reprehensible p.o.s.

The Daybell case will live never leave me.

I was very into this case too and it was just so bizarre because nothing added up or made sense. Chris Watts was the least likely candidate to commit these crimes by himself. He was a submissive type of personality who did what he was told by women. I personally think someone else was behind it but received immunity for supplying information.

I've still got all the evidence that I requested from the DA office which includes police reports and videos etc.

I'll always wonder what happened to Genette Tate. I'm a similar age to what she'd have been now so her disappearance and the subsequent news coverage was really frightening to me at the time.

I listened to the Vallow case only today on the Anatomy of Murder podcast.

Crime Junkie is also a good one (though both American)

Back in the 80s (when it was much harder to lear more about US cases) I became very interested in the case of a young teen named Cinnamon Brown. She was manipulated by her father into murdering her stepmother, Linda, Ann Rule wrote a book about the whole sad thing, called 'If You Really Loved Me.' Her father really was a piece of work.

I still always think about Suzy Lamplugh and Claudia Lawrence, and hope that we'll have answers about them one day.

.

A lot of people suggested Angus Sinclair and Gordon Hamilton, however, Sinclair was in prison until 1967 and was known to Glasgow police of the time. He's reckoned to have killed several other women in the area in the 1970s, but I've never seen or read anything that seriously puts him in the frame as BJ

This has just reminded me of another one I went down the rabbit hole with. The Parkland shootings by Nikolas Cruz. I saw some horrific footage where you could hear some of the victims dying. Will never get those sounds out of my head.

Have you read Foreign Faction by A. James Kolar?

It may or may not be a murder case but the Maura Murray case in the US baffles me.
Crashed her car in 2004 and never seen again.

I’m obsessed with all “who dunnits”. DH said if Im ever suspected of a murder and the police looked at my tv viewing history I’m fucked 😂
I watched one, American interview tapes.
An officer said to the suspect, we’ve located the body of a man buried in your garden, what have you got to say to that.
she replied “ I obviously didn’t bury him deep enough” 😂

Not obsessed, but I'd really like to know where Margaret Fleming's body is. Edward Cairney died in prison last year, but Avril Jones is still alive and could say where she is.

Also if anyone ever falls down a hole of reading through black kalendar, it really affected me reading about so many murders of cases you’d never have heard of,

Yes, loads of cases -

Chandler Halderson, invented a fake life for himself then killed his apparently very nice supportive parents when he was found out. He then dismembered them and scattered the pieces all over Wisconsin. Didn’t find half of the poor buggers.

Chris Watts and Scott Petersen - both murdered pregnant wives (and their own kids in Watts’ case) so they could start afresh with no baggage.

Rachel O’Reilly murdered by her husband Joe in a faked burglary. Sent her poor mum to the house to look for her so she found the brutalised body of her adult child. He then acted like a weirdo - re-enacting what “he thought” had happened.

That prick who murdered his (new) author wife and her dog and hid them in a fucking septic tank.

All of these men had pathetic alibis. Although they had all planned their murders they made really basic errors. At least 3 of them are still protesting their innocence though evidence is overwhelming. Just pointless.

Did you watch the programme capturing the trial? I wasn't aware Cairney had died. It's awful when the bodies aren't recovered, like Suzanne Pilley.

The murder of Sophie Lancaster really got to me. I sobbed my way through the documentary. I can’t believe the bravery and drive of her mum, starting the Sophie Lancaster foundation. I wear my Weirdo, Mosher, Freak t shirt with pride.

I don't think he did ir.

I was a similar age to Susan Maxwell when she was kidnapped & murdered in the early 80s. I even looked like her and still think about her, more than 40 years on. Robert Black, a serial killer, was eventually convicted.

Sir Jack Drummond: top government official and scientist murdered w his family in France. Only learned about it recently and keep thinking about it http://news.bbc.co.uk/local/nottingham/hi/people_and_places/newsid_9402000/9402414.stm

he basically saved Britain from starvation in WWII.

Did anyone else sit through the televised trial of Louise Woodward, like I did. She was an au pair in the US and was tried for killing the baby in her care, Matthew Eapen. It was a difficult watch and will stay with me.

Not obsessed but often ponder unsolved murders
Jill Dando
Suzy Lamplugh
Jon Benet Ramsay
Madeleine McCann
Genette Tate
Others local to me that have never been big news eg Janet Murgatroyd

I had Covid in early March 2020 and went down the true crime rabbit hole. The one that affected me the most were the Delphi murders. I can't believe a suspect has been caught. I literally had nightmares about the video (fever induced). I stayed away from it for quite a while.
The two girls were so brave and had the forethought to record the suspect. I still can't hear anyone say "down the hill" without getting chills.

I think the Idaho case is interesting. I do think about Andrew Godsen and Claudia Lawrence.

Me neither. At best it was an appallingly improper investigation much of which would have resulted in an unsafe conviction if it happened now. I’ve always had an interest in this case at it was local to me.

Yes that' waa very sad my Grandad used to take me to stubby lee Park where she was attacked when I was a child ,
Sense less attack just because they looked different
