What Unsolved/Unresolved Mysteries or Murder Cases fascinate you the most and why?

Do you think that these Cases will ever be solved?

I've been really fascinated by Natalie Wood and this case as a whole. I plan on buying some books to learn more about her. What books would you guys suggest I read about her? It's so tragic how she died and it's a shame that this case will probably never be solved.

I know there's some people who you would refer to as "internet" detectives that do this for the hell of it but only have evidence that's been released to the public. I'm not sure if this has been asked in this community or not but it could be a cool idea. With cases like the zodiac killers and Jack the Ripper, where both perpetrators are presumed to be deceased, these would be a good place to start. If they would choose a handful of trusted volunteers to do background checks on, etc. and could give them access to files and autopsy reports, persons of interest, etc. with supervision of course and see how far they get with solving it. A fresh pair of eyes might notice something they officers themselves have overlooked. I can see this benefiting aspiring homicide detectives and LEOs.

Suzy Lamplugh, a 25-year-old real estate agent, vanished in 1986 while showing a property in Fulham, London, leaving behind her parked car with her purse but no trace of her keys or any signs of struggle. She had reportedly gone to meet a client known only as "Mr. Kipper," but neither Suzy nor her supposed client was ever seen again. The investigation turned complex, with key suspect John Cannan emerging due to connections to the case, but solid evidence to charge him remained elusive. Despite intense media coverage and reinvestigations over the years, Suzy's disappearance remains one of the most haunting unsolved cases in the UK.

30 year old Barbara Jean Lewis lived in Penn Hills, a suburb 20 minutes East of Pittsburgh, PA. On the morning of November 19, 1976 she left for work around 6:15am, but did not make it to the bus stop only several feet away from her home. Whether she was forced into a vehicle, or willingly accepted a ride from an acquaintance is unknown. When she did not show for her secretarial job at Rockwell International in downtown Pittsburgh, her coworkers became alarmed.

Around 9am, a maid showed up to begin work at the Blackridge Civic Association, only a mile from Barbara’s home, she made the grim discovery of her body in a trash bin outside. She was still warm to the touch. Her hands were tied with one of her stockings and the belt to her overcoat. She had been manually strangled. Despite her bra being in disarray and her panties inside out, there was no evidence of sexual assault. There were no defensive wounds or bruises, and her mouth and nose were packed with gauze, which was believed to have been done post mortem. Her overcoat, blouse and purse were missing. They were later found in the woods by a schoolboy a mile and a half from where her body was discovered. In a time before DNA or doorbell cameras, police set up a check point, but unfortunately nobody heard or witnessed anything.

Police hit a dead end and her case still remains unsolved. There was a series of strangulation murders of women and girls in the area in the late 70s. A few were solved, decades later to advances in DNA technology. Hopefully with even more advances in forensic science and genealogical DNA-which helped solved the case of The Golden State Killer, Joseph DeAngelo, Barbara’s case can be finally solved. She was laid to rest in Good Shepherd Cemetery in Monroeville, PA.

Barbara lived a 1/4 from me, and I drive past the site where her body was discovered everyday. As a Girl Scout, I had events there; and I remember my mother telling about the girl who was kidnapped and found there. I often think about whether her case has been solved or if there have been new developments when I drive by.

Hi there! This is my first time posting in this group but since my family first told me about this, it’s always bugged me. My great grandmother’s sister died at age 27 in her grocery store in a supposed suicide. The store was open and her young daughter and customer were in the store. They heard a gunshot and her daughter went back to check what happened before the police came. She died three hours later in a hospital. There was no note left and the only documentation I can find in her death on Ancestry is the newspaper story detailing her death which is where my information above comes from.

Now, she was divorced and supposedly seeing someone who was abusive at the time of her death and my great grandfather always said that the man who was her boyfriend at the time murdered her. Is there a way for me to find out more information on this? (She died in 1956 in Mississippi if that helps with the best way to go about finding more information)

It was a Saturday afternoon in the summer of 1990 in the forested northern edges of New Jersey. 27-year-old Lisa McBride would chat with her parents on the phone, and then join three friends to drive to a Clint Black concert in New York City at the Beacon Theater.

Lisa was an avid hiker and a lively executive secretary at Lakeland Savings Bank in Sussex County, New Jersey. She attended West Milford High School where she graduated in 1981 before taking classes at Rider College in Lawrenceville. She had a wide circle of friends and owned her home in Highland Lakes, which she painted and landscaped herself, and where she lived alone with her two cats. She was an amateur competitive shooter, who regularly called her parents just to talk, and practiced ballet with the same passion that she taught it to children. As a teenager she was a member of New Generation Dancers in Wanaque, an 8-girl troupe that performed ballet, tap, jazz, and modern dances. At 16 she performed with them in Romania. She hoped to open her own studio one day.

It was around 70 degrees with a cool breeze as Lisa and her friends crossed back into Sussex County driving back home from the concert. They stopped at Big John's Pub in West Milford before her friends (??) dropped Lisa off at her home on Glen Road, a winding, knotted community of mountain lake houses, navigate-able by only those who've lived there. A neighbor saw Lisa entering her home and locking the door sometime between 1:45 and 2:00am in the morning.

When Lisa didn't show up for her 9am shift at Lakeland Bank the next day, her coworkers were flummoxed. She hadn't missed a day of work in three years. They called her home in Highland Lakes, and when no one answered, they called her family. Norma, Lisa's mother, got the call and then phoned the police.

When the police arrived at Lisa's house they didn't find Lisa, and they didn't find her bed-sheets, comforter, black purse, and key chain, either. Norma stated that there were signs of trouble inside the house where things had been "strewn about". There were no signs of forced entry at the house, though we know Lisa did keep a key hidden outside. However, when her brother Douglas showed up that morning to work on her gas range, the key was still there.

A few newspapers report that the telephone lines had been cut, but it's unclear who found them this way (her brother Douglas or the police), and if it was publicly confirmed.

At this point, the police had determined that it was an involuntary disappearance and that she didn't leave her home willingly.

Richard Honig, Sussex County Prosecutor and head of the task force assembled to search for Lisa McBride, moved from his county office to Vernon Police Station where they set up makeshift headquarters in a trailer on the property. The special task force was seventeen members strong, and when the "massive round-the-clock" search started, even the FBI took interest. They were looking for a 5'7", 135 lb woman with long brown hair. Lisa was just 27.

"We don't have a suspect at this point, but it may turn out that we probably have already interviewed the guilty person or persons and don't know it yet," Richard Honig said. "...I believe we will eventually find the answers."

The search for Lisa held no punches. Overhead, helicopters with infrared beams searched hundreds of miles of New Jersey woods, and dogs covered the same acreage below on the ground. Police would go on to investigate over 750 leads and interview over 300 people, both in person and by phone. Twenty psychics offered tips, more than $150,000 in reward money was offered for information, and the NRA--of which Lisa was an active member--swooped in to assist in the search hoping they could find clues of her disappearance with hunting season around the corner. Norma gave them fliers, too, and asked the NRA to join the search. Lisa's father, George, had a plastic company, the company that printed the fliers. Those flyers ended up all over northern New Jersey as community members posted them on poles and traffic lights all across the area, in store fronts, and at the Sussex County Farm and Horse Show grounds where they knew big events would bring in big crowds. George posted $100,000 for her safe return, and another $10,000 to the person who found her [remains].

It's been published that it seems that the killer had considerable local knowledge, since there are only a few ways in and out of the community and it is not an easy area to drive to begin with. Her body was also found 30 miles away, close to the border of PA in a secluded area.

The newspapers and TV reporters were broadcasting the disappearance all over North Jersey. NBC TV ran a segment on Lisa in "Missing Reward".

Rodger F Iverson, the NRA director at the time, said "we will walk shoulder-to-shoulder through the forest. We will climb every mountain and pray Lisa is not there." Iverson printed information about her disappearance in sports and hunting magazines all across the country, asking for hunters, trappers, and hikers to keep a look out. The Coalition of NJ Sportsman also committed to help in the search, led by the chairman Richard Miller. The Sierra Club also said they'd lend assistance.

The volunteers were set up to search the 30,000-acre Waywayanda State Park as well as Canistear Road in Vernon on Sunday October 20th, 1990, with a rain date set for October 28th. The search territory included parts of the Newark Watershed. They were told to look for the remains of a human body.

But the search never happened.

Early on Saturday morning, October 20th, 1990, just before the big search for Lisa was supposed to begin, Lisa's remains were found off of Old Mine Road in Sandyston Township, NJ. She was found by a hunter about 50 yards into the dense woods, unclothed and mostly decomposed, laying on top of brush at the base of a cherry tree.

The hunter from Montague that happened upon the body was reported as a grouse hunter or a birdwatcher, but his identity has never been revealed. He summoned a park ranger and ultimately received a $10,000 reward for finding Lisa's remains

The area where she was found is a secluded section of woods of the Delaware Water Gap, less than two miles from the Dingmans Ferry Bridge which leads from New Jersey to Pennsylvania.

The New Jersey State Police, Vernon Township Police, and investigators from the prosecutor's office searched the area of discovery. They combed the site and the roadside with a metal detector, but no details were released about the findings. Richard Honig said they recovered new evidence where her body was found and were examining it for clues, but he didn't share more.

Richard Miller called off his search crew, which included dozens of gun clubs, sporting clubs, ham radio clubs, community groups, and the Red Cross.

Richard Honig, Sgt Michael Buono, and Virgil Rome went to the McBride's home to break the news to the family.

Lisa's remains were transported to the Medical Examiner's Office in Newark, NJ. She was identified through dental records, but determining the cause of death was difficult due to the condition of her remains. An autopsy and anthropological tests were conducted. It was now also confirmed a homicide and they said they had addition information for leads.

A year later, her house was still sealed off as a crime scene. And today, there has been no cause of death released, though her death certificate states she died from "external violence." There have never been any arrests made in the case.

Virgil Rome said the three friends Lisa went with to the concert with have been cleared, although their identities have never been publicly released.

A main suspect in the case was a man who had been unsuccessfully trying to "court" Lisa by asking her on dates, showing up at the bank where she worked, waiting in the parking lot for her, and even leaving flowers on her car. Lisa told friends she was being followed by the man, and that he'd shown up to see her at Big John's Pub, too.

The stalker was a major focus in the beginning. For more than a year the police couldn't find him and no one remembered the man's name. But one day in 1992, Norma was shuffling through things in Lisa's room and happened across a license plate number that Lisa's friend had scrawled down. It turns out it was the license plate belonging to the man who had tried to ask Lisa out six months before the murder, the stalker.

When investigators finally tracked him down to talk to him he was living out west, and was able to satisfy investigators with his alibi, ultimately proving he was also out west on June 23rd, 1990, the day Lisa had disappeared. He was also forthcoming about trying to get dates with Lisa.

John T., the owner of Big John's Pub where Lisa and her friends had stopped after the concert, said he thought the killer had been interviewed but wasn't optimistic that the killer would be caught. He said that the authorities knew a lot more than what they were saying.

The site Lisa was found was about an hours drive from her house, in an area that is heavily hunted during squirrel and grouse season, which began October 13th. The authorities said that the area had not been checked in the previous searches.

On October 20th, 1990, The Daily Record printed Lisa's obituary. Her funeral was at Restland Memorial Park Chapel in East Hanover, NJ the following month on November 12th. The chapel, a replica of an 11th century English church, was visited by close to 200 mourners. Reverend John F Dow, who baptized Lisa, read the gospel from John and Psalm 23. An organ played a rendition of one of Lisa's favorite songs, "Memory", from the musical Cats. She was buried in a cherrywood casket next to her grandfather, Albert Trinder, in the family plot.

Lisa McBride was the daughter of George E and Norma M Trinder of Newton, NJ. She was the sister of Douglas of Vernon, NJ. She was the godmother of Rebecca Lynn.

A scholarship fund was created in Lisa's honor, the Lisa Marie McBride Memorial Fund, which is in the care of the local Vernon Police Athletic League (PAL).

Circumstances suggest that Lisa was killed at her Glen Road home in Highland Lakes. She didn't have a steady boyfriend. Authorities have said multiple times that they believe they already interviewed the killer, and that they may have been in Lisa's circle of acquaintances. Norma has said she thinks it had to be someone she knew.

Most of Lisa's loved ones remembered her for her laughter. They said it was infectious. She would call up her bank friend, a date at the time, Roy Jr, to tell him the Pee Wee Herman word of the day on Saturdays. Linda Fredricksen, a family friend, said "it was hard to get a decent picture of her because she was always making faces or doing something to make us laugh."

"Lisa had a way of downplaying the stressful days and make us smile," one of her coworkers wrote. Many of the Vernon police officers involved in the investigation knew her from dancing lessons she gave to the officers' children. Everyone recalls her as independent, down-to-earth, active, fun, and popular.

"Every year at holiday time, Lisa's friends climb to the top of Kanouse Mtn to erect an enormous star." From the last article I read, it had been going on for 15 years strong. You can see it driving north on Rt 23, heading towards Echo Lake Road. The batteries needed to be changed every day. It required a 25-minute climb up a rock peak to reach. Lisa had once joked that she wanted a decorated Christmas tree up there, and that they could just, you know, run extension cords from her friend Jimmy's house on Union Valley Road to make it happen.

Norma and George said they prefer to go to the cemetery to visit Lisa in June when it's full of life instead of October when it's dead and dying.

Today is October 20th, 2024, and it's been 34 years since Lisa's body was found in that cold October that was dead and dying. But she is not forgotten, and we will keep her light aflame.

I've got an eye out for Justice for Lisa.

If you have a few minutes, give "Memory" a listen in honor of an independent woman who a life full of laughter left to live.

"Memory" - Elaine Page; one of Lisa's favorite songs

[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mdBVJbzkoqo\]

"Touch me

It's so easy to leave me

All alone with the memory

Of my days in the sun

If you touch me

You'll understand what happiness is

Look

A new day has begun"

Please excuse my mistakes, and let me know if you have corrections/better sources. My sources were entirely based on newspaper articles from newspaper dot com. I grew up in this area and lived a similar life as her (over a decade ago), and I'd like to post my thoughts, but I'd like to hear what you have to say first.

Thank you for your time and for reading about Lisa.

Hi I was just wondering if there is a discord server for us people :) Please tell me if so!!

(This is just my own thoughts and speculations, there are currently no suspects listed by the San Mateo Police Department)

And if you don't know who Doug is, please go to my page as I've posted everything I know so far about the case :) It wasn't Laura (Doug's girlfriend), at first I thought maybe she should be considered as a suspect but after talking with some people we realized how unrealistic that would be. If Laura wanted to kill Doug, she wouldn't have done it in the TGI Friday's. She would've done it at home where there was a very little risk of anyone seeing anything. She also loved Doug more than anything, and although in most cases you would say "well she still needs to be considered as it's usually someone close to the victim that does the crime" but Laura really, really loved him. And she still posts about him in her socials years later, that's not something a murderer would do. So it's very unlikely that she did it.

At first glance, it looks like it was obviously the 20 and 21 year olds who were causing trouble in the store in the previous months. After talking with a person on Reddit who lived in that area at the time and some of my friends about it, it's unlikely it was a disgruntled person or group that killed Doug. Unless someone had serious grudges and anger issues, it's unrealistic that they would meticulously plan a break-in and murder.

It could honestly be any of the other employees. Akeem Holland, the waiter that was working with Doug the night of the murder, claimed there were 4 employees still working when he left at 2:30 AM. Doug was found at 5:15 AM. It could've been Akeem, he could've lied about the employees still working, he could've committed the murder and went home. The thing is, a time of death was never specified by SPMD. No one ever said if Akeem was cleared as a suspect, nothing was said about anything. That's why there's so many speculations and opinions floating around, because that's all we have to go off of 😭.

It could've been one or more of the four employees Akeem was talking about. As it would be hard to gain access to a fully locked building, murder someone, and then leave without any DNA or CCTV footage of them being left, it could've been someone who had access to the building. They wouldn't even necessarily need a key if they were already in the building. I spoke with some people about this, and a really good point came up. What if an employee was caught by Doug trying to steal, and they freaked out and killed him? The blunt force head trauma would make sense, because if it wasn't planned the weapon would've been quickly chosen from the surrounding area. If it was a planned robbery, wouldn't they want to carry something more effective, such as a knife or a gun? It would've been nice to learn if any of the four employees were cleared as suspects by the SMPD, but again, it was never said.

As me and my parents were discussing this, my mom suggested something I haven't seen anyone else talk about. What if it was an ex of Laura's? It would make sense, seeing Laura being so happy with Doug, it's possible someone was spited by this and decided to get revenge. I will reach out to Laura soon and see if this could be an actual possibility.

note this is my own speculations, I am just trying to share my thoughts

And if you don't know who Doug Castillo is,, please visit my page as I have posted almost everything I know about the case so far :)

The Year was 1984 in Rural India, In a small town and in that a village. Everyone was leading their simple lives as usual. But one day a man sleeping outside was admitted to the hospital in the morning, He had several claw marks on his body.They asked him about what happened and replied saying that he was scratched by a bear walking on all fours like a human being and had 5 long steel like claws for each hand. At first they thought he was drunk or delusional but then more cases followed again, again and again until it went to the worry of the local police, who started to place troops in areas where this "Parchodu" as the locals called it in their home dialect,which translates directly to "The Scratcher" in English.The local people started making legends and folk tales about it and feared it was a ghost or an animal unknown to mankind.Few people were petrified and few held long swords, knives and Logs to try and kill it.But the cases kept continuing.3 Months later the cases spread to a nearby village as well. Police already had men posted for the safety of the people.And then still a man who was walking at night was scratched, and he said a tall bear walking on all four's scratched him with 5 long steel claws and "ran away".People stopped going out after 8 out of extreme fear.2 months later after the cases continued a man said that he saw the thing get out a car in the outskirts of the village.people thought it was captured but the obvious reason is it was a man who was wearing a self designed costume to scare people.For unknown reasons the cases stopped all of a sudden about a year after the first case.And exactly 40 years later now he still hasn't returned.All the threat is far gone, many questions still remain on why he wasn't seen or caught.Many questions arise in my head "Who was he?" "Why did he stop?","If he wanted to attack people, why did he not kill anyone?" "Was he obsessed with fear?".The truth is no one knows and no one might ever find out because this is forgotten and you won't find the story on google because no one ever published it.Any thoughts on these incidents ? The one is an image I created to what people described they saw

I wanted to make a post as I've notice there's not a single thread on this cold case from 1973 Dearborn, MI. Ruth Postif was a Dearborn High School senior in 1973, and went missing on October 18th, 1973, when she suddenly disappeared from a mall around 3:45PM. She was reported missing at 5:00PM when she failed to show up for her serving shift. Her car was found two days later in Superior Township in a rural area, and a few weeks later, her body was found 1/2 a mile away from where her car was abandoned. She was stabbed several times, and her body was found with her hands tied.

I know that Daniel Anders was initially accused of committing the murder as he had been found guilty of r*ping and assaulting other women. But as it says in his trial he was found not guilty and due to evidence, it was proved he at the very least did not leave any DNA at the scene if he was involved. Other than this lead it seems there hasn't been any further developments in her case, and I'm trying to see if anyone has any other information that's not already out there.

If you or anyone you know has information on this case, remember to reach out to the Michigan State Police, there's currently a podcast called "Cold Cases with Cassy" about Ruth's murder and it says to contact Sgt. Larry Rothman at the Michigan State Police.

(If you don't know who Doug Castillo is I have posted a lot about him, go to my page for some in depths :) )

1. Doug was found at 5:15 AM. A waiter he was working with, Akeem Holland, claims there were 4 employees still in the building when he left at 2:30 AM. That is a very small window of time. When did the others go home? Did they see anything? Were they properly questioned?

2. The police department never said if there were surveillance cameras. Being that it was a TGI Friday's in 2008, there most definitely SHOULD HAVE been cameras. If there wasn't, across the street from the store was a damn mall. There's no way there wasn't SOME sort of camera that caught something. A vehicle, a license plate, the build of the person who did it, an ethnicity or what they were wearing, a person going INTO the building, someone saw something.

3. The police never said if there were any person(s) of interest, even though if you just take a basic look into the case you can see a few people who could be suspects. Akeem, any of the four unnamed employees, or the 20 and 22 year olds who had been causing problems in the store in previous months could be suspects, and I doubt many of them could provide and prove an alibi.

4. The police department initially thought that he died from a gunshot wound when he actually died from blunt force head trauma. that should provide insight into the fact that the San Mateo Police Department was not fit for evaluating a crime scene. Even if it happened an hour and a half before he was found, there would still be the smell of gunpowder and probably gunpowder residue on or around Doug. There would also be an bullet hole, a casing, and probably even the weapon still AT the crime scene. A gunshot is very different from blunt force head trauma, even if it was really bad.

5. Since it was the first murder in San Mateo since 2006, don't you think they would bring in one of the bigger police departments to help evaluate what happened and the crime scene? San Mateo is in the bay area surrounded by bigger cities, that should've been SMPDS first move.

6. The police never said a time of death either, that would've been crucial to finding out if one of the employees did it. And, they should checked at what time every employee clocked out at. Might I remind you, this is TGI Friday's, A CHAIN STORE, in 2008. There's not gonna be clockout sheets or digital clock out recordings?

I believe Doug's murder could have easily been solved if the San Mateo Police Department had more pressure on them to solve the case and if they properly analyzed the information they had.

It was the summer of 1992 Andre was 18 years old about to start college. His mother was the president for the NAACP in Jackson, Mississippi. His father a Nation of Islam minister. On August 22nd Andre and his girlfriend were driving home in his friend's truck he had been borrowing for the past week. When he was later on arrested at 2:00am. At 4:00 am he called to tell his mom he had been transferred still not knowing why he had been arrested. Then at midnight his mother received a knock with a person and a note that had the jail's phone number. When she proceeded to call that's when she found her son had hung himself upside down in his cell. https://unsolved.com/gallery/andre-jones/
