What cases would you most like to see solved?

[XCalibur]

We all know several old UM cases were solved this year, makes you wonder what might be next!

Also, we all know Unsolved Mysteries fans have certain cases that stick in their craw that they want to see solved bad. This year showed us that anything can happen.

I would have to say my top ones are:

1. The East Area Rapist/Original Night Stalker: Think its hugely important this guy is apprehended if he is still alive, (which my gut feeling says he is), and identified. No one should get away with everything this piece of trash did.

2. Angela Hammond: I think we can all agree on this, someone could definitely still be out there, although I think Larry Hall is someone they should look at.

3. Lee Wackerhagen: I don't know why but this case has always bugged the snot out of me. I never like cases where overzealous bad tempered men hurt loved ones. I hope if he killed Letricia he is caught.

4. Jeffery Digman: I absoloutely hate cases where people were killed by others wanting to cover up their underhanded ****.

5. Sue Taraskowitz: Here again, sounds like she was killed by chauvenist dirt bags who couldn't stand the fact a woman was doing well in their field, even though she was good to them. What trash. Granted we don't know who killed her but it sounds like those lowlifes who worked under her might have had something to do with it, they should


Those are the ones I can think of off the top of my head, and in general any case like Keith Warren or Tony Lombardi I'd like to see justice served in cases where corrupt and lazy law enforcement allowed someone to get away with murder.

This is the kind of thing I could go on and on about, and I may come back with something longer and more detailed at a later point, but it always bugs me when a heartless killer goes for years without getting caught, heinous crimes drag on for years with no suspects or other promising leads, or like especially with the case of Angela Hammond, people who get abducted and are never found. Off the top of my head, I'd really like to see something give with the following cases:

Dale Kerstetter
Little Miss Panasofkee
Sharon Kinne
Nyleen Marshall
Leroy Drieth
Lawrence Harding, Jr.

I've vacillated back and forth about this over the years but my feeling is that Nyleen Kay Marshall is no longer with us. I know a lot of people who follow cases of child abductions by a stranger will now forever point to the Dugard case but my feeling is that a lot of these children did not survive far beyond the abduction.

It is interesting however, that the author of those notes did indicate some information about Marshall that was not known by the general public. I've always thought that it had something to do with the clothing that Marshall was wearing when she vanished because to my knowledge that information has never been widely circulated. If that is true it could be possible that someone at the park on the day Marshall was abducted wrote those letters and this person could've had nothing to do with her abduction at all.

However, if the information contained in those letters reference other details regarding Marshall that would only be known to her abductor then that could indicate that Marshall may have still been alive at the time those letters were written.

The thing I never understood was where were the parents when Nyleen Kay Marshall was walking around with the other kids that day?

I know what happened to her mother later on (RIP), but I'm just wondering.

It'd be great if every one on UM was solved but sadly that won't happen. But here are mine, since they really got my attention:

Tara Calico
Norman Ladner
Phillip Fraser (although I think his killer is already behind bars, since it was likely Michael Wayne McGray)
Tara Breckenridge
Jane Doe at Dana Point, California
Chad Langford
Dick Hansen
Dwayne McCorkendale

Cindy James, although part of me believes this was a suicide and she was suffering from multiple personalities, one of which was stalking herself, similar to the Ruth Finley case.

Well from what I gather it was a picnic atmosphere and probably the children were allowed to play off to the side somewhere. Hindsight being what it is in most cases of child abduction we can say "if the parents had been more attentive then the abduction probably wouldn't have happened" but in real life parents rarely watch their children like hawks when they are in a relatively safe setting.

I could be completely off base on this of course but I don't think the case is as mysterious as UM made it out to be. I really think there are some suspects in this case that we don't know about.

I wish every missing child case could be solved. They are all so sad.

For some reason, though, one that hit me especially hard was Gordon Page, Jr. You could just feel his dad's pain about not knowing what happened to his son.

The other one that always bugged me was Keith Warren. I would like to see some closure there.

The four boys in the car who were driven off the road by a lunatic.

I really want to see that one solved after seeing the case on UM this week.

[alfiechat]

Larry Costine and Melissa Sermons
Christophe Day(if what we read in an earlier separate thread is true, he might still be alive)
Jeremy Relfs and Heather Opfelman(the two who were assaulted when they went to sell an expensive computer)

That's it for me at the moment.
