If You Could Solve....

[Hambone2421]

If you could solve only one Unsolved Mysteries segment, be it a murder, missing person, UFO sighting, etc., what would it be and why? Keep in mind that by solving your segment, every single question you ever had about it, would be solved as well.

For me, I would choose to solve the Dale Kerstetter segment. Was Dale in on it or was he an innocent victim? Who was the masked intruder? Did Dale know him? Did he work at Corning? What happened to the platinum? What happened to Dale?

Those are all questions that I would love to have answered.

Dave Bocks, Angela Hammond and Eric Tamiyasu were all close seconds.

The Mary Morris segment would also win for me but I know we aren't allowed to talk about that one.

Dead heat between the disappearance of Father John Kerrigan and the possible abduction of Nyleen Kay Marshall.

re: Kerrigan
1. Who made the phone call? Was it related to his disappearance?
2. Did his disappearance have anything to do with his previous assignment in Plains, MT?
3. Was this a vigilante style "revenge" killing for some crime the priest committed on one of his parishioners?
4. Why did Kerrigan bring all that money to his car? Why didn't the abductors/killers take it?
5. Did Kerrigan disappear on his own accord? (Long shot but I've always been curious.)
6. Where did his killers place his body?

re: Nyleen
1. Did she succomb to the elements or was she kidnapped?
2. Who sent the letter?
3. Does the letter have anything to do with the case or is it a hoax?
4. IS Nyleen alive today?

1. The cases of Nyleen Kay Marshall, Dale Kerstetter, Clifford Sherwood, and Tammy Lynn Leppert are the top contenders for me, with the Wackers case a close second.

Crap, forgot to add Joan Gaye Croft to the list!

Philip Fraiser. I think the "crazy person" who murdered him and impersonated him knew what he was doing, and had probably killed before.

The police sketches of that guy are just down right creepy.

[DALLASTEXAN!!]

Just one?

Friends to the end. There was a lot of alleged corruptness In this case. Definitely a botched investigation and thankfully the parents fought for their children. I'd like to know what type of scandals if any existed behind the scenes. And most important of all why were the boys killed?

Honorable mention:

Morgan/Johnston/casalaro were they all related? Did casalaro and Morgan commit suicide? What is the octopus?

Darlie routier/Jeff McDonald/Terri McClure/Paul polis/mark Nichols/too many more to list. WHich of these if any were wrongfully accused?? Or are they all sociopathic domestic killers?

Beyond that the tough old cold cases that seemed to never be destined to be solved. Dexter Stefonek Ayleen Conway carol 49er hugs Debbie the road rage possible racist hit run. New Hampshire and ih 70 serial killers. Bowling alley murders the cayedito family Rachael Runyon Keith warren Eric tamyasu Mary Morris Jenny Pratt Matt Flores Annette snee Bobbi oberholtzer and other military lost loves and old cIA cases.

Sorry the topic is one I know I can't make up my mind. I agree with all of the ones that were mentioned above.

[MegtheEgg86]

If I have to choose only one, Kevin Ives and Don Henry.

So difficult. I think I'll go with Tammy Lynn Leppert, but Amy Billig, Tara Calico, Gordon Page Jr., Angela Hammond, Tara Breckenridge, Amy Bechtel, and Amy Bradley are also ones I desperately wish would be solved.

Missing persons cases tend to stand out most to me. They haunt me a lot, especially thinking about the families. How horrible it must be to have your loved one pretty much vanish into thin air...for decades without any answers.

Amy Bradley is a very popular case and like Natalee holloway was before her case was solved they sort of spoke for many missing people. To think of all of the different possibilities it's hard to know what really happened and for the family if they could just have an answer they could have some closure. This being the same concept for all of the missing loved ones as you said.


The more people post the more I'd have to consider changing mine.

[Corkys-Place]

I really want to know what the story is behind that Polaroid photo of those poor kids bound and gagged.

[2pacalypse]

The Wackers because it's just too puzzling.

This is so true. So true. Not knowing is what eats you alive.

Would like to know also what happened to all of these people mentioned. Would be interested t find out if Amy Billig was kidnapped by bikers or not.

I believe that too. But those final appeal episodes with circumstancial evidence always leave me wondering when a person could have potentially been wrongfully convicted.
