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?

Also Missy Bevers. Terrifying case with creepy CCTV video of the murderer captured shortly before the murder.

Their poor families never truly getting closure

A case that stays with me is baby Liam Gonzales Bennett. He was found in his bed with severe head injuries thought to be caused by a fist. Apparently his mother had decided to take away his dummy. They estimated that he had over 30 injuries.

His mother and her partner of the time were both suspects but no one was ever charged. Prosecutors couldn't decide who was responsible.

They literally got away with the murder of a poor innocent baby. I followed the case at the time and often think of him.

Oh god that reminds me of when I had a prison penpal. I was super young tho-like 16/17 (had to lie about my age) and it was never love letters. But I look back and think WTF did I do that for. I started regretting it a few months in. My parents used to ask why I had "department of corrections" stamped on some of my letters! I honestly don't know why I did it and think what an idiot now.

Nicole Simpson and Ron Goldman

How could there be any chance of that though? Do people forget the notes she wrote, found in her house, admitting to killing the children?

The only case I became really emotionally involved with was the disappearance of an 8 year old (El pescaito) in circumstances so incredible, with so many twists and turns, it could have been an Agatha Christie's book.

It was the largest missing person search ever in Spain, and it gripped the whole nation. We all kept hoping we'd be found alive but was murdered pretty soon after his disappearance.

I still think of him and his parents.

Scott Peterson is a truly awful person. The fact the he still maintains his innocence is bizarre to me. I'll be interested to hear his appeal.

I listened to the Lucy Letby trial every week via the podcast. When they read out everything she'd done to kill each tiny baby it made me cry. I think she's guilty. The inquiry that's happening now is very interesting and I'm listening to that podcast too.

Disappearance of 13 year old April Fabb in 1969. In rural Norfolk.

@AnotherNameChange0 there has been a lot happening with the Asha degree case this week

Also Colin Pitchfork. Both Lynda and Dawn came from villages 7 miles from where I live.

Dont get the law courts obsession with wanting Pitchfork on parole. He needs permanent locking up as he was on parole once and didnt last 5 mins.

The Beaumont children in Adelaide. Just vanished. Sadly it appears they will never be found and no one will ever know what happened to them.

Oh yes that was baffling. No trace at all!

Me too.

I want to know more about the police officer! Do you remember his name or any other info please? I kind of have the same opinion having worked for the police.

Claudia Lawrence is definitely one for me. I'm also fascinated with Alice Glaston, although that is very different.

Basically every case covered by the prosecutors podcast. Fascinating discussions, but my favourite is probably the Murdaugh murders.

The Jamie Bulger case has always haunted me. I was at the shopping centre in Bootle the day he was abducted, witnessing the commotion when it was discovered he was missing. I remember the horror of watching events unfold on the news and when they announced they had found his body, the shock of learning that two such young boys were responsible for torturing and killing him.

Yes... the Sara Boone case, (aka suitcase Sarah).

Also I can't remember her name (sad) but the young woman who was murdered by the man who was of Yemen elite, and he almost got away with it. I'll find it. Martina something. That case infuriated me. Typical male entitlement, murdered her because she rejected him.

I remember the movie of that case , he was such a manipulater.

Oh God yes, that one is harrowing. I only found out about it recently but I've not been able to forget it either. That poor poor girl.

@Over40Overdating I was on maternity leave when Graham Dwyer’s trial for the murder of Elaine O’Hara was taking place and I remember reading every single paragraph written about it. He is such an evil, evil man - a predator in every sense of the word.

Paul Williams’ book ‘Almost the Perfect Murder’ on it is very good. The sheer number of coincidences which led to the murder being discovered and him being caught are almost unbelievable - if it was fiction you would say it was far fetched. The testimony from the previously suicidal American woman who said he was trying to convince her to let him kill her was terrifying and very distressing. His former partner testifying that he brought a knife to bed was incredibly disturbing. The world is a much safer place with him behind bars.

RIP Elaine. I am so glad for her family that all his appeals have been rejected and justice has prevailed.

If they're psychopaths then they won't care. It's unthinkable for anyone else, but they literally see and have no consequence.

Notts?
