If you could solve 3 cases..

Mantis Toboggan

What would they be?

Mine wound be based on what I've seen and can remember:

1. Long island serial killer or LIST. Fairly recent case, no suspect has been charged. Bodies started being found along the shoreline with the first being a prostitute who had disappeared bizarrely while with a client. Multiple body parts have been found with some of the victims yet to be identified. Suspect suspected of having close link to law enforcement. Think this case was covered on Casefile and True Crime Garage, there's also a good documentary, killing season done a number of episodes on it.

2. Madeleine Mccann.
Fascinating case really. Would love to know what really happened and if the parents know more than they told.

3. The Zodiac
One of the more famous serial Killers probably due to the the crypted codes and letters and the very good film. Some of the codes still haven't been cracked. Not likely to be solved now. Who was the zodiac? Don't think we'll ever find out but certainly a fascinating case.

Honourable mentions to Jack the Ripper and Jon benet Ramsay who I think the family were involved in her death. Also Sophie Tuscon De Plantier case which we're restricted from discussing.

Probably a few I can't think of right now but they would be my 3.

Picking only three is so hard. But here goes:

1. Gussie Shanahan - a young lad from Limerick. He called over to a friend's house, reached the right place and then diverted down a side street. Hasn't been seen since. One account I read stated he was actually about to knock on his friend's door before getting distracted by something happening in the alleyway. Here's a link.

I found another link to an article in the Limerick Leader (which was hidden behind a paywall). The headline stated Shanahan was one of 8 strange disappearances of young men in the city at that time and that they all worked for Dell Computers. Does anyone have any more info on this?

2. Hannah Deterville - a teenage girl from London. This really sticks with me and I remember watching a reconstruction on Crimewatch UK. The murder was brutal and seemingly motiveless. It hadn't been long since the Stephen Lawrence case and the Police were keen to avoid repeating the same mistakes with Hannah's (she was also black). Despite that, her killers are still at large. Here's a Link

3. The Brabant Killers - a gang of criminals in Belgium who carried out a ton of robberies (during which 28 people were killed). They were on the go for several years and, staggeringly, never caught despite scores of witnesses at each robbery. Link!

Like a lot of people here, I would have mentioned Suzy Lamplugh. But, isn't it pretty much a given that she was murdered by John Cannan?

Toots

Mine would be

Madeleine McCann (preferably while her parents are still alive, so if they did have something to do with it - apart from being horrendously neglectful - they can be brought to justice)

JFK

Jon Benet Ramsay

If I remember correctly- there were a number of young men who disappeared around that time. Not sure what happened with the other cases tbh ....

Just a reminder that we are not discussing Irish cases as per the forum charter

Those saying 9/11, what is it you want answered? Was it not Bin Laden et al? or do you want to know if US government was complicit?

For me - so many! will come back!

Was wondering the same. A few people have also mentioned JFK and another mentioned Roswell! I don't think conspiracy theories really fit in this forum...

There's always going to be an element of conspiracy theory in some cases, but I'd rather that we looked at fact over conspiracy

Apologies, I mistakenly thought it was Irish cases under ten years for some reason.

But thanks to the others for sharing the links. It's great the family finally have some closure.

Yes, I'll replace my first choice with Jill Dando. It's staggering that anyone can be shot in broad daylight, middle of the day in central London and the killer go completely undetected. Although, the miscarriage of justice of Barry George can't have helped matters.

Once someone is convicted, do the police then destroy evidence?

Oh im not sure if it was a miscarriage of justice. Yes the conviction was quashed for being unsafe but at the same time he was found guilty by 10-1. I would say the Police in the UK aee still happy enough they got the right man but fooked up the investigation.

Not on the theories aspect but a fairly sombre video of the site and memorial and people's reactions to it ...

Ah right sorry, thought they recently found something on a building site. Poor family

Cyrus T Buford

My number one would definitly be

Sophie Toscan Du Plantier

After that i would say: Madeline McCaan

And then a case i found to be really intriguing due to a project i did when i was in primary school is what happened to Amelia Earhart.

EDIT
Also would like to add the case of the missing postman. Very strange.

dubstarr

1.Philip Cairns is the one that really sticks with me.He was the same age as me when he disappeared.

2.Lee Boxell he was 15 when he disappeared in 1988

3.Willian Tyrell was 3 when he disappeared in 2014

There were several reports of a "breakthrough" in Lee's case earlier this summer. Police were interviewing a new witness. I really hope something comes of it and his remains are found. Kevin Hicks is another teenage boy who just vanished without trace, also in the London area. I always wondered if they were connected.

Police know there was a pedo gang working in the area at that time.

One I would add is the unsolved case of Barry Sherman and his wife, Honey at their home in Toronto in 2017

A very strange set of circumstances originaly flagged as a murder- suicide

Aska

1 - Fiona Sinnott

2 - Mary Boyle

3 - Sophie Toscan Du Plantier / Fr. Niall Molloy (hard to pick one of those, intrigued by both)

Al Hilli Alps murders

This is another of those cases where you slip right down a rabbit hole. It seems all key people caught up in it could present as legitimate targets for a hit. But (last I heard) the French police were formulating some theory they were victims of a serial killer.
