Out of all the cases you've seen on UM, what are the ones you most want to see solved? Which ones gripped you the most emotionally?

for me:

Tara Calico
Angela Hammond
Antonyette Cayeito
Jonbenet Ramsey
Kathy Hobbs

As a male, I feel much greater sympathy for the female victims; I'm sort of a chivalric person so when a woman, or child, is harmed it's especially saddening and repugnant.

Michael Rosenblum
William Bradford Bishop

Tara Calico
Patsy Wright
Jane Doe from Dana Point
Kathy Hobbs
Phillip Fraser
Chad Langford
Reynaldo Rivera
Dexter Stefonek
Dwayne McCorkendale
Matt Chase
Rhonda Hinson
Tara Breckenridge
Justin Burgwinkel

These people have no business out of the street and it's a wonder to me why they haven't been caught:

Debbie's attacker
Sal Guardado
Randall Utterback
Dick Hansen's attacker

Every time I watch these lately there are more and more I want to be solved. In fact just about everyone that isn't solved by now makes me slap my knee.

I'd love to see what happened to Holly Krewsen, Tara Calico, Id like to see the bank (armored car) robbers caught.

honestly, i want all of them solved, BUT i will answer this. First off, all the young girls who were kidnapped and havent been found or heard from. Second, i want the Wackerhangen mystery solved as well as the Circleville Letters. Also i want Angela Hammond's case to be solved (so some people quit blaming Rob), Katherine Korzilius' case solved and Blair Adams.

On behalf of every UM fan: Angela Hammond.

I'd like to see the Dale Kerstetter case solved. Was he in on the robbery or was he killed?

Also, as for violent crimes, I would like to see the "Carol" case solved. That's the one where the guy was taunting motorists with his truck one morning and just happened to block "Carol" on the road. He gets out of the truck and shoots her in the face for no reason whatsoever.

Dexter Stefonek
Blair Adams?? (Canadian found in Knoxville)
Tom Johnson - was there ever any word on the $30K computer system??? Did any of the components turn up?

They might be at a Goodwill somewhere... :p

Just watched Tammy Lynn Leppert again, and it's another one I really wish would be solved.

Just watched Tammy Lynn Leppert again, and it's another one I really wish would be solved.

I think she had issues and ran away and went into the sex industry, drugs, or prostitution. Or she may have been abducted after she ran away. Either way, i don't think her fears were founded in any kind of reality (much like Cindy James).

Let me also add Lisa Ziegart. It's another random abduction/murder case.

Well, I'd like to see ALL of them solved, of course, but I've got a particular selfish desire to find out the answers to the most baffling cases where's it's just impossible to figure out a simple solution.

There are a lot of cases that are still unsolved, but you can pretty much figure out what the ultimate answer is (i.e. Wendy Camp, Christi Nichols, Mark Groezinger). However, these particular cases are just so maddening to solve:

Aileen Conway
Blair Adams
Mike Riemer & Diana Robertson
Katherine Korzilius
Circleville Letters
Cindy James
Judy Smith
Lauria Bible & Ashley Freeman
Tara Calico
Eric Tamiyasu
Arnold Archambeau & Ruby Bruguier
Kurt Sova
L'Enfant

Blair Adams

I don't think there is much doubt this man was in the middle of a psychotic episode. Whether he killed himself or not, I don't know, but if he didn't, his case was sort of a self-fulfilling prophecy. He had all the hallmarks of schizophrenia. It's rather unfortunate that his family did not get him help.

Circleville Letters

Really needs to be solved.

Cindy James

95% sure it was suicide. I think she suffered from either Munchausen Syndrome or DID (Dissociative Identity Disorder). It's hard to tell which, as both could explain her behavior. I see her case as a fascinating look into human psychology more than anything else. The fact that these episodes didn't start happening until right after her divorce and the fact that the "killer" would call her ex-husband and leave messages on his machine leads one to to unsettling conclusion that Cindy was doing it to herself. This whole thing appeared to be a way of getting the ex-husband's attention.

Whatever the case, if she were my family member, I would have told her I am moving in to be with her during this ordeal and we will see it through one way or the other. Sadly a lot of people don't have that support. I am not saying her family didn't care (not saying that at all) but often families live in denial of mental illness due to its stigma.

Cindy's sister has posted to this board a few times. She said some in her family think it was suicide while others don't.

Lauria Bible & Ashley Freeman

Really like to see this one solved. The only thing that makes sense is the arsonists took the girls and later killed them.

Eric Tamiyasu

I would put money on Mr. Dixon (the guy who found the body).

Kurt Sova

I think this one is pretty easy. It was an accidental death that the party goers tried to cover up, so they dumped his body.

He had all the hallmarks of schizophrenia. It's rather unfortunate that his family did not get him help.

For the majority of the segment, I did simply assume that Blair Adams' behavior was entirely the result of a psychotic episode, but the utterly bizarre way in which his body was found just makes me throw my hands up in the air. His paranoid delusions may have caused him to cross paths with a dangerous random stranger who wound up killing him, by why was he found with his pants down and currency from different countries scattered everywhere? :confused:

This whole thing appeared to be a way of getting the ex-husband's attention.

I've always assumed that Cindy's initial harassment was real, but caused her to do off the deep end and stage at least some of the later attacks herself. However, I still don't think she could have committed suicide in the manner in which she was found. This is one of those cases where there are pretty much an equal amount of convincing arguments on both sides.

I would put money on Mr. Dixon (the guy who found the body).

Definitely a good possibility of that, but there are just too many strange things about this case to conclusively decide it was him. If it turned out all the suspects innocent and Tamiyasu was simply killed by a random burglar, I wouldn't even be surprised.

I think this one is pretty easy. It was an accidental death that the party goers tried to cover up, so they dumped his body.

Again, this is a likely scenario, but too many other weird elements, like the strange guy in the record store, prevent me from being too sure.

I also can't believe I forgot to include Chaim Weiss on my list. I really have no idea what to think about that one. Talk about getting away with committing the perfect murder :mad: !

Lisa Bishop
Amy Bradley
Patricia Meehan


Many theories on these cases...I wonder which one is closest to the truth.

-Dan Casolaro/Don Deveraux/Charles Morgan
-Wendy Camp
-Freedom 2
-Cindy James
-West Memphis 3

Oh, I forgot one......ANGELA HAMMOND....THE FIRST UNSOLVED MYSTERY I REMEMBER WATCHING.

The two I most want to see solved are also the ones I believe are the least likely to ever be solved: the Little Miss Panasoffkee and the footlocker case.

At the very least I'd settle for identifications for both of them so they can be properly laid to rest. I'd like to believe that no one deserves to have their body placed in a footlocker or in a lake.

1. Wackers....doubtful though:(
2. debra poe
3. angela hammond
4. su taraskiewicz
5. circleville letter writer

Any case where the victim(s) were children.

So many to choose from...Here are a few of my top choices:

- Angela Hammond
- Blind River rest stop killer
- Dale Kerstetter
- Cindy Song (very interested, as I am a recent PSU graduate)
- Norman Ladner

I always wanted some shred of evidence that Sneha did die in the Twin Towers, I think it's safe to say she did die there, but it's frustrating.


The Circleville letters for sure.

For me, my number one is the Zodiac killer, that would make my year if they had conclusive evidence linking someone to that. You can only dream, but remember no one though BTK would be captured.

Tara Calico
Patsy Wright
Jane Doe from Dana Point
Kathy Hobbs
Phillip Fraser
Chad Langford
Reynaldo Rivera
Dexter Stefonek
Dwayne McCorkendale
Matt Chase
Rhonda Hinson
Tara Breckenridge
Justin Burgwinkel

These people have no business out of the street and it's a wonder to me why they haven't been caught:

Debbie's attacker
Sal Guardado
Randall Utterback
Dick Hansen's attacker
I agree. Randall utterback needs to be found sal guardado and the rest listed wth

There are a few cases that I find myself checking on occasionally in the hopes that they've been resolved. The Patsy Wright and Matt Chase cases are both on my list. As are the cases of Dale Kerstetter, Matt Flores, and the Bible/Freeman disappearances. The Mike Emert case was on my list for years and I was relieved to see it finally solved. I've also closely followed the David Merrifield murder but am unclear as to it's official status. Apparently LE consider the case solved but have been unable to go into further detail. I would also like to see resolution in the Brian Foguth case. Same with the Huisentruit case.

I'd like to see the Tara Calico, Amy Bradley, Anna Christian Waters, Johnny Gosch, Zodiac Killer and I don't think it was covered on UM, but I'd love to see the Black Dahlia case solved.

But more than anything I'd like to see any of the John and Jane Doe cases solved. There's nothing more tragic than all of the John and Jane Does we've seen over the years. Somewhere out there these people had families and friends who cared about them. It is just awful to think about these people not having an identity.

Patsy Wright. She was murdered by strychnine which is pure torture. I know they have a few prime suspects (ex husband (great article written that describes him as a sociopath, she was also suppose to testify in a case against him shortly before she died) and a ranch hand who she had dated? but anyways, it would be nice if someone could be brought to justice for that after 27 years.

I'll try to narrow it to five MP:
Tara Breckinridge
Tammy Lynn Leppert
Angela Hammond
Lisa Bishop
Pamela June Ray
Honorary Mention: Kristin Tomlin (She was likely killed by two men who will never be charged and will likely never be found)

Killers I hope will be caught (narrowed to five):
William Fischer
William Brad Bishop
Joseph Maloney
Murderer of Su Ya Kim
Murderer of Susan Taraskiewicz

Of course I'd love them all to be solved...it's so hard to narrow it down.

William Bradford Bishop
Lauria Bible & Ashley Freeman
Kurt Sova
Randall Utterback

Like everyone else here, I have way more than just one LOL. So I'll go with the idea of who I think NEEDS to be punished rather my personal preference. That leads me to: The East Area Rapist. At least 10 murders and 50+ plus rapes, this guy has to be caught. He terrorized his victims to the fullest, and I don't imagine those scars will ever heal anyway, but then add on the fear that he has never been identified.

Others on my list include Amy Bradley, Elizabeth Campbell, the Circleville writer...and lots more.

I'm drawing a blank on their names but the "friends til the end" episode. The two boys found murdered on the train tracks in 1987. It's probably part of a big coverup. Also, Dave box. I know it's quite obvious what happened but to have those sick individuals brought to justice all these years later would be amazing.

Kevin and Donn the boys were called not sure on their second name off the top of my head. One surname was Ives cant remember who.
I'm not skilled enough like the super fans on here who can recite the full names, year of death, date segment aired and what eye colour the victim had lol

I also would like to see that case solved.

My other one is Sharon Marshall which is partly solved now, but would love to find out what happened to Michael. It's a pretty sure thing that FDF has killed him but his body should be laid to rest with his mother.

And now the mystery of her younger brother who FDF also kidnapped.

Dwayne McCorkendale
Dexter Stefonek

For sure

Dan (D.B.) Cooper is in another stratosphere for me, it would blow my mind if we ever got definitive proof of who he is/was, whether he survived the jump and all that cool stuff.

After that, Dale Kersetter is always a puzzler, especially since I believe he was a victim.

Danny Casolaro is a fascinating case.

Black Dahlia is really intriguing too, especially since everyone and their mother thinks they "know" who the killer is. Ditto Zodiac and Kingsbury Run.

Circleville and The Wackers are also at the top of the list.

William Bradley Bishop

Laura Bible & Ashley Freeman

Tops is William Bradford Bishop for me. I want to see him captured ALIVE and face justice.

Although I know they are likely dead I'd then like to know what happened to Adam Hecht and Amy Billig.

I'm surprised no one mentioned the East Area Rapist. He killed more than the Zodiac and was as terrifying the BTK. One of the most chilling cases ever.

Although the statutes of limitations has run out I would like to see the case of the Burrowing bandits solved, that segment was fascinating ! They seemed to be quite professional , organized and the whole theory about them being close buddies is intriguing .....I wanna know who were they ?

Top Five:

1. Kevin Ives and Don Henry
2. Christi Nichols
3. Rhonda Hinson
4. A.J. Breaux
5. Debbie Wolfe

Jonbenet Ramsey
Maura Murray
Madeleine McCann
Katherine Korzilious
and
Blair Adams.

And Cindy James. VERY much want that one solved.

Judy Smith
Su Ya Kim
Kingsbury Run murderer
Amy Billig
Elizabeth Campbell
Laurent Hernas, Yves-Emmanuel Pain and the catamaran Antigua

Kevin Henry and Don Ives were there names. The segment is actually on the Bizarre Murders DVD set. PM me if you'd like to see it.

Cynthia Anderson- what really happened to her? did she run away from her life or was she abducted, and that strange caller saying she was held hostage was strange. sometimes i think it was cindy herself sending cops on a wild goose chase

Tara Calico - idk what to think of the picture, but i think the alledged boys ran her over and buried her in the desert.

Michaela Garrett - this one gives me shudders

Rachael Runyun - the guy needs to get caught, and the fact that they made a snuff movie, with the little girl being tortured and sexually molested is appauling and i have no other words for it.

Of course i have to mention - Tom Johnson - That was a strange crime in that he got a little personal with the people and planned it out over the set of a few days and was seen in broad daylight, not random but thought out. And still nobody has seen any trace of him and his so called accomplice

I really want to see the Matt Flores case solved. That was the guy who was gunned down in a parking lot, where an SUV stalks certain cars just before he's killed.

Where did the theory about boys running over her come up? I havent heard about that!!

As for Rachel Runyan I agree..It's even sick to think some people bought this snuff movie :eek:

Where did the theory about boys running over her come up? I havent heard about that!!

The last paragraph on her Charley Project page has info about that theory. It basically says that police have information that two teenage boys had been harassing her and following her in their truck but accidentally hit her while she was on her bike. They think the boys disposed of her body and may have had help.
