Cases you most want to see solved?

[CuriousMind90]

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.

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.

[mwcarolina]

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.

[SageSlowdive]

On behalf of every UM fan: Angela Hammond.

[Thiussat]

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.

They might be at a Goodwill somewhere...

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).

[Thiussat]

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

[RobinW]

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

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.

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?

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.

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.

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 !
