Unsolved Cases that should have been solved - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Labonte18 · 08-10-2018, 02:15 PM

What are the cases from UM that you watch today and are just shocked that they haven't been solved?

There are some of them that don't overly surprise me that they haven't been solved.. Some that there's just not enough info likely.. There was a WWII "Lost Loves" case that some soldier gave a boy some food and an American flag.. Not overly surprised that hasn't been solved, because it was 40 years on, and no names were involved.

But, the ones that haven't been solved that it just seems.. Should have been.

Cases like AJ Breaux. The Dub and Chase Wackerhagen case.. Seems that SOME information on those cases should have come to light. The prison guard who was exposing corruption in California who disappeared.. That's another one.

Oh.. And the Katherine Korzilius case.

I feel the prison officer likely ran into a sex attacker/killer totally unrelated to her work at the jail.

Actually, this one was solved. He found the soldier's family:

Jenny Pratt

Jeremy Bright

So many people know what happened in both cases it's ridiculous they're both still unsolved.

Jenny Pratt is a good one. There is a poster or two that has said "everyone" in their hometown knows who did it.

Phillip Fraser is another one for me. The murderer seemed to be very lucky not to be caught.

woah I did not know that...or at least I don't remember knowing it

some of the older lost loves are very difficult to solve. I always wonder who the other soldiers were that ate Christmas dinner with Fritz in Belgium. It's amazing that he found one of them and got to reunite.

Edit: forgot to add the most obvious one for me. Mark and Christy Nichols. Every single time I watch that segment he looks more guilty than the last time I watched it.

Well, as some have pointed out, the soldier giving the boy the flag was solved.

Korzilius - if this truly was an accident, as some have hypothesized, I don't see how this could be "solved."

My immediate kneejerk reaction to this thread was to think of Jenny Pratt. It just seems like a lot of people knew who the guy was that swung the board, by name, but no one ever stepped forward to identify him to the police. Further, the perps were teenagers/young adults who don't have the greatest propensity for keeping their mouths shut in general, so I find it surprising that no one talked. On the other hand, the only people who probably could have testified that they saw the guy do it were likely in the truck and possibly afraid of being charged in the crime themselves. If those present in the truck relayed the story to others (as I suspect) then whatever they said would be hearsay. So, that could be how the dude's name got around so much (Hell, I even know it), but there was never enough evidence to charge. It seems the guy committed suicide years later, so that could also explain why no one ever came forward. Just no need to at that point.

I find it surprising that Leonard Rizzo was never charged in connection with the murder of his wife, Monica, whose remains were found in the backyard. It's like what more do they need?

The 'everyone in their hometown knows who did it' argument seems to be usable in the Tara Calico case too.

I'm currently getting caught up on the 'Missing Tara Calico' podcasts by Melinda Esquibel and it seems pretty obvious that those teenage boys (at the time) are indeed responsible.

Huh.. So it was.. I'm surprised it was. I actually watched the UM with that the other day.. Obviously the update happened after the episodes were reedited and that hasn't been added. There was just so little to go on there.

One more that I thought of.. The Mary Morris killings in Houston. To have neither of them solved is very odd. Quite frankly, the husband, I don't really buy as a killer. He brought a lawyer to a police interview.. Some would call that smart, especially after the police basically ran with him being a suspect.. Refused a polygraph.. She had life insurance. The 4 minute phone call.. That is strange, but I don't buy him as the killer, and probably not even as having paid someone to do it.

If the cases were connected and this was a hitman that killed the wrong person.. SOMEONE would have talked.

I'd love to know what the 911 call contains.

I'll put another one out there.. One of the web cases.. I was personally involved in this one.

Read the found post on the Facebook page, it has the story from their side and my side in the comments. Utterly ridiculous that case wasn't solved long, long ago.

I am surprised Chaim Weiss case has not been solved or at the very least they should atleast have a strong suspect in mind.

I agree.. Very good example there. The principal would be high on my list of suspects..

Irene Love and her sister Dolores Ford. Irene knew so many details she should have been able to find SOMETHING.

Labonte18 · 08-15-2018, 05:22 PM

Wiki says that she did find her mother, but her father and sister passed away before the story aired on UM.. 1988 for the father and 1991 for her sister.

Irene passed in 2012.

What is the story.. There was a case where a guy was going to buy a computer and was kidnapped at a motel or something.. Not the sketch artist case (Which is another that i'll put as astounded it hasn't been solved, UM touted her as the best sketch artist and how many cases she solved and the case they profiled.. Unsolved.) where the two guys in a mall got the brothers who jumped out..
