Unsolved Mysteries that will never be solved - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

ILikeTurtles · 05-22-2011, 11:51 PM

So I've never seen this thread on this board (I don't think I have at least.). In your mind, what Unsolved cases will remain that..Unsolved? And by saying they will remain Unsolved, I mean that for the rest of human existence...there will never be closure in these cases. My top 5:

-Charles Morgan. Never will be solved.

-Don Kemp. Ironically, the first one profiled. Will always be Unsolved.

-Dale Kerstetter. Inside jobs = never will be solved.

-Blair Adams. Absolutely no way will be solved.

-Danny Casolaro. Nope.

I strongly believe that the Morgan/Kerstetter/Casolaro cases may be solved one day. For me, the Don Kemp case does have closure; he died from exposure, but witnesses were mistaken about hearing from or seeing him.

As for cases that I believe may never be solved:

Ben Stahl paintings theft-Either they were sold outside the country, or within the country and whoever has them doesn't realize who's paintings they are in possession of. Unless Ben Stahl left some sort of distinctive signature or marking on the paintings that established them as his, they will likely never be recovered.

Amtrak derailment-The train derailed in a remote part of the desert, so the elements of nature can easily dissolve any evidence that leads back to the saboteurs.

Skeleton in a box-I don't believe Gabby had anything to do with this man's death. However, the timespan for how long the victim has been dead indicates he was probably long since forgotten or next of kin have died and thus been unable to identify him.

Sorry if this has been discussed before, but did anyone ever come up with a good explanation as to WHY Donald Kemp got out of his vehicle at the spot that he did in the prairies of Wyoming?

I think the odds are most stacked against those cases that have been "officially" solved. The reason being that it's unlikely the cases are being investigated by anyone in any official capacity other than family members. A lot of the "suicide, accident or murder" cases fall in to this category, as well as many "final appeals".

Maybe he thought his car broke down so he went out looking for help, even rummaging through his possessions for anything that might enable him to signal for help in the cold blizzard he was traveling through. Or he stopped to search through his belongings for something he needed for the road and ended up disoriented then wandered off.

I feel sorry for his mother's loss, I really do. But her stance on her son being murdered does not hold any credibility. She probably feels that way only because of the phone calls to his friend. If he was murdered, why would he have been found within walking distance of where his car was abandoned, and why weren't there any signs of it?

The first one that came to mind is that of Dave Bocks. What little evidence they have is Dave's remains which are kept in Nevada due to radiation. Plus the fact that it was labeled a suicide which is unfathomable. I just doubt this claim ever gets solved.

I don't remember the Dave Bocks case.

The Kerstetter/Casolaro/Adams cases could get solved.

After reading some of the threads here, I believe Kerstetter was killed and that someone within the company was in on it. With that being said. One person wouldn't be involved in on this. Someone out there either has knowledge of the case or has the security tapes. But there is someone who has information.

Casolaro's case is one that could easily be solved. I believe Casolaro was indeed murdered and I've seen the segment more than a dozen times. In his case it was someone within' the intelligence community who I think did him in. It's doubtful anyone inside of organized crime who did the hit. The case has lingered for so long, someone within' organized crime would have knowledge of it. In a case of intelligence or military, there would be a limited few who would have information. It would be confined into a small group of 2-3. But it would have a paper trail.

In the Blair Adams case I think he knew his killer. It's been an ongoing investigation for about 15 years now and with that much time that's passed someone locally would have knowledge of it and come forth. The attack was so brutal, that I'm sure Adam's would have put up a fight. He worked construction and in a fight probably would have hurt someone. I read somewhere that he had stab wounds on him. If that's true the assailant would have injuries from using the weapon. The assailant could have sought medical attention or confided in someone else as to where he sustained his injuries.

Sharon Kinne. For those who may not remember, she was that brazen chick who murdered her husband in 1960 and is also believed to have murdered a lover and the wife of another lover. She escaped from prison around 1969 and has not been seen since. From what we're told about her in the segment, she was a master of deception and a very smart woman who is probably well capable of hiding herself indefinitely. Also, all of the online people-finding technology available nowadays was unheard of back in 1969, and she's probably changed her name who-knows-how many times since then, so even if someone who ultimately may be her exists in writing somewhere (which is doubtful to begin with), it's unlikely that anyone would ever be able to put two and two together and identify her as such.

-Skeleton in a box/Gabby's chest/Footlocker case: unless the guy in the box is related to me (I'm serious here, he really could be related to me) then I don't see how it will ever be completely solved. The only thing that might be solved is who he is, but definitely not who killed him, when and why.

-Little Miss Panasoffkee: It's been just about 40 years. What is the likelihood that her parents or any other adult that knew her is going to come forward? Or for that matter the doctor who performed the surgery. Forget finding who killed her, we may never even know her identity.

Both of these cases are very sad.

I'm thinking that Hugh Harlan was a lot less spaced out than he's given credit for. Not that I suspect him for what happened to Diane, but I could see him fleeing the scene in a cloud of ragweed pot. He was likely paranoid. Regardless, I would politely venture to guess that he hasn't been with us since he vanished and the body will never be located.

XCalibur · 05-24-2011, 12:50 AM

Crystal Spencer probably will not since the remains were cremated. We will probably never know the whole truth about that case.

The Wackers case is highly unlikely as well since they are both deceased now.

Little Miss Panasoffke, very unfortunate there. Cause not only did no one claim her but someone got away with murder.

Unfortunately, the following missing people will probably never be found, either because the main suspect is deceased or the presumed murderer has already done their time in prison and has no reason to reveal where the body may be:
-Doreen Marfeo
-Pamela Page
-Tommy Gibson
-Annie Hearin
-Jean Moore
-Oliver Munson
-Cathy Ford

And the full truth in many of the "Final Appeal" cases will probably never be known since they are officially "solved" in spite of some unanswered questions. This particularly applies to the cases of Jeffrey MacDonald and Tommy Ziegler. If they're innocent, the real murderers are most likely dead by now. If they're guilty... well, after maintaining their innocence for over 40 years, why would either man confess anytime soon?
