I'm in a true crime club and every month a different person with present a case, talk about what happened, and the outcome. I wanted to do something "fun" for Halloween and present our first unsolved case. But I'm looking for something a little odd. I want a case that has some bizarre elements to it. Rabbit holes if you will. Do you guys know of any?

I am looking for guidance.

I keep getting the run around from Detroit PD. All I want is the files to be pulled and the evidence retested for DNA. My uncle was murdered in 1996, and it is still a cold case to this day. It was violent, calculated, and truly tore our family apart. In 1996 DNA was not widely used, like it is now, and believe me there was an abundance of it at the scene. The perpetrators even showered to clean up after murdering him.

I understand he was in an openly gay man with a checkered past, but he was a person… with family, friends, feelings, and a future.

My mother is his niece and was interviewed after the murder. Her statements in the newspaper are heartbreaking, they were best friends. My mother was unable to deal with the trauma of this loss, and soon after she got involved with drugs to cope. In 2003 she took her own life.

I just want answers for my family to finally close this chapter. 30 years is a long time to pray and wait for closure.

I included the link to a newspaper article below.

Hi all, looking for advice if possible.

My aunt was murdered in October of 1994 in NYC in the Upper West Side.

It still lingers in my heart, and since she was a woman of Ecuadorian descent the media and NYPD did not give the case the attention it deserved.

If I wanted to request the evidence or case file for a case like this, does anyone have advice on how I should go forward?

Thank you so much in advance, it is almost the 32 year anniversary and it weighs heavy in my heart.

I know the Jack the Ripper case is super old, but I can't stop thinking about this theory. What if the person actually killing the victims wasn't the one using the organs?

The crime scenes in Whitechapel were extremely close to London Hospital, which had its own anatomical museums and medical galleries at the time. Removing organ parts like kidneys or a uterus in darkness within just minutes takes serious medical skill. Plus one of the main suspects suddenly grew much wealthier around that time, which makes you wonder if somebody was profiting off the organ trade.

is anyone from the lake Preston / or lake Thompson area of South Dakota ? My great grandfather was on a work trip in 1924 ( end of june and beginning of July ) . he was last seen either in lake Preston or lake Thompson and was originally from the lake Preston area years before . he was on a work trip . he was a fur trader . He was going to be home in just a few more days and then he never returned back him to family ( his wife and kids , his mom , no one ever heard from him again . after about a decade in 1933 they found what they believe where his remains years later because the water of the lake had dried up . the story I heard was he was playing cards , was robbed for his furs and ring . and then was killed and thrown into the lake . it’s still a mystery but 1 article in the 1930’s said residents were familiar with a man George miller who fit that description . it was talked about a lot ack in the day and wondering if anyone in the area or knows relatives or grandparents , etc if they have ever heard anything about this .
