Cases you were sure were homicides

[mikewho]

Was curios what cases everyone would choose that they just knew we're homicides even though other scenarios were brought up as possibilities?

Very common theme on Unsolved Mysteries. Ive sometimes wondered if one of the goals of the show was to expose corrupt and lazy law enforcement, and I myself have expressed a low opinion of the police many times. Of course, there is no way of knowing they could always be right, but the fundamental truth is its easier to write something off as a suicide than to investiagte a murder.

Rae Ann Mosser
Crystal Spencer
Cindi James
Jeffery Digman
Tony Lombardi
Andre Jones
Keith Warren

There are some others I have in mind and I simply can't recall the names. These are all cases that I wouldn't be surprised if everyone of them were murders, and they were written off as suicide, with the exception of Rae Ann Mosser which I think was probably manslaughter.

Sadly, I think Ashley Freeman and Laura Bible are no longer with us.

I still maintain Mike Riemer was killed by a third party.

The Keith warren case really stands out for me. It was clear that foul play was involved.

Ditto. I've always thought (even before his remains were found) that a serial killer was responsible for his and Diana Robertson's death.

Dave Bocks and Danny Casolaro. No way either of those were suicides!

Agreed. Mike being the killer of the earlier victims and then killing Diana didn't add up. Two couples being murdered by the same killer is a much more consistent scenario.

Just a few of them that stuck out for me...

Keith Warren
Jayson Artis
David Bocks
Robert Dirscherl
Charles Morgan

I'm going to say Wendy Camp was a homicide.

I will never understand how people think Tony Lombardi was murdered. Of all the UM segments that make really strong cases for an unexplained death or ruled suicide actually being a murder:

Dan Casolaro
Bobby Fuller
Keith Warren
Dr. Zel Losef
Ives & Henry
Tommy Burkett
Mike Reimer
Dave Bocks
The two friends on the military base
The spy Ralph something
The CIA guy who was dosed with LSD



…the Tony Lombardi segment doesn’t stand up to any sort of scrutiny. I never thought it was anything but suicide from the very first viewing and I fully understand it’s my own hard headedness but I can’t understand how people think it was a murder.

I agree 1 million percent.


Also, Doug Johnston. What moron could have proposed suicide when no gun was at the scene?!

definitely

I think he was held down or in place by two or more people and forced to inhale/swallow the deadly chemicals that were later found in his body.

[mikewho]

Didn't Keith warren have leaves on his back as if being hoisted up?

Yeah I think Dave bocks was def murdered.

I think mike riemer was killed the same time his wife was and they just missed him in the search. I dont remember all the details of what they found but seems like he was found a mile away from where his wife was found. The note in the truck didn't make sense though.

Yeah, same here. I know people think it is strange that a serial killer would leave their little girl unharmed and actually go out of the way to drive her to a shopping mall, but I believe even a serial killer can have a limit when it comes to young children who aren't even old enough to tie their shoes. So the killer had to put her in a place where she would be found safe and sound because by the sounds of it she'd have frozen to death had she stayed out in the forest.

I also found it strange there were no leads or any proof that Mike was alive. No sightings as far as I can remember, and if there were, well, we know they were wrong now. Mike was painted as a shady guy and maybe he had friends in low places so you never know who he was mixed up with, or Diana.

I don't get how people can think Cindy James was murdered. I don't know why, but she strikes a chord in me and is similar to a woman a dated before I met my wife. She did all the things I think Cindy did, cried for attention, embellished things, cried wolf and out of all the times she was "tied up" she never got a good glimpse of the person. No, in my mind she was her own worst enemy, maybe split personalities.
