First time posting. Sorry if I dont know the rules.

My uncle was murdered in a Burger King parking lot in Houston, TX (Montrose area) at 4:23am on July 17, 2013. He was 44 yr old business man Samuel "Sam" Delaschott. He was shot in the head while sitting in his Jeep. His phone was stolen.

Grainy camera footage shows 1 person approaching and three people running away. Adam Gouy was arrested in San Diego 3 months later after cops got suspicious about a weird mannequin in his car and connected him to the murder. No charges were filed. The case has gone cold.

Uncle Sam was loved by everyone he met. He loved beach volleyball and his family. He deserves justice. I know what google has to offer. The cops don't care. Please help

The West Memphis 3 those poor little boys being murdered the way they were. I don't think it was those teenagers that were convicted of the crime. But what about that man who went into the restaurant and had blood all over him? I wish police took DNA off the wall and bathroom and see if it was a match but they messed up when they didn't. But also the step dad forgot his name but he had one of the boys pocket knife in the attic when that boy didn't go anywhere without it. I don't know hopefully one day we will get answers somehow.

What's your take about this? I have watched a different documentary available on Youtube. Like it's been more than 20 years pero cold case parin iting case nya. Very fishy ang parents nya talaga.

True crime stories are often tragic, but some make you wonder if a single decision or warning sign being taken seriously could have changed everything. For me, it’s the Gabby Petito case. There were so many red flags, and it’s heartbreaking to think about what might have been avoided.

What case sticks out to you as something that might have been prevented? Was it a missed opportunity, negligence, or something else entirely? Let’s talk about the warning signs that were overlooked and the lessons we can learn.

Quite the opposite. He rose to the top of his profession by the early 1970s. That's why he stopped killing. He said that his rise to success curbed his violent instincts and once said that he could've developed into the worst kind of killer. He always felt like his father cast a pall over him. His dad was, by American Dream standards, a failure. Among other jobs, his dad was a merchant marine. This pushed the man who would become Zodiac to be dogged in pursuing his own success. After high school, he worked in a mail room. This is why he took to writing letters as Zodiac. He quickly moved up to much bigger things. Yes, Richard Connell's "The Most Dangerous Game" clearly influenced him when he was young. He owned and fired guns. He once used them to frighten his people. The black frame glasses were not a prop. He was nearsighted. He owned a sewing machine and used it. His dad was a clothes salesman for a time. He was loud and boisterous, never reluctant to inform people how good he was in his profession. The accent Hartnell recalled wasn't a drawl. It was the product of Z's Midwest upbringing. He was in LA for a big professional accomplishment two days before the Lake Herman Road murders. He never lived in San Fran, but connected himself to it throughout his life. He couldn't help making a direct reference to himself and his profession in one of his letters. Not by name, of course, but very close. He always had an interest in cops. He worked with them a couple times. His interest may have been born through his love of radio from when he was a kid. His phone calls after his crimes were probably syltized based upon these memories, especially the infamous, "Gooooooooood-byyyyye." He said that he was fascinated by the eerie sounds created on those radio programs when he was a kid. As a teenager, he was afraid of girls and unpopular. He didn't marry until he was 40. He was an old father to two kids. He had one long-term relationship earlier in life, during his time as Zodiac. The newspapers started reporting that the two would marry in June, 1969. By 1972, the relationship was over, and he said he would never marry. He didn't believe in it. He also said that he rarely met any intelligent women. He said, "I don't know any woman I'd rather talk to than a man." Although a self-confessed loner, he said his friends were "gangsters." He said that if you put the president in a burlap bag and tossed him out of a car, he'd shoot him. He said several times over the course of his life that all human beings possess good and evil. I think that is how he rationalized the killings he perpetrated at that time in his life. He was no different than anyone else in the evil department, in his mind. All he did was have the guts to act on it.

Anyways, he made it to the end without being discovered. Obviously, since I'm sharing this, someone caught onto it, but he really was hiding in plain sight all those years. He put forth so many hints to broad audiences that I'll bet he thought it hilarious and it he really "got his rocks off" at that. I don't think any of his weapons would've seemed out of the ordinary to his wives or his two kids. I don't even think the hood would've seemed strange to them. He could've easily explained it as something else. Perhaps notebooks with codes might have. Regardless, he was such a domineering presence, that they never would've gone beyond curiosity that he could quickly extinguish.

One last thing: The composite sketch was a fair rendering of his face. Particularly, the eyes. Throughout his life, when given the chance, he would have himself photographed in such a way that shadows or his hands concealed much of his face, but never his eyes. It was his way of demonstrating the bifurcated soul within all of us, as he saw it.

What are some cases that come to mind with known police cover up, likely involvement, and/or corruption in any way? I am sure there are countless of them, but these are the ones that stick out the most to me:

Terrance Williams

Mitrice Richardson

Maura Murray

Rachel Good- I haven't been able to find much on this case and have been wondering WHY the chief's wife was never looked at or questioned!

...I know there are WAY more but I can't remember anymore off the top of my head!

If you could magically create one piece of missing evidence for any unsolved case, what would it be? 🤔

Would it be a surveillance video showing what really happened to Elisa Lam? A perfect DNA sample from the Zodiac Killer? Or maybe a journal from D.B. Cooper explaining it all?

Tell me what you’d choose and why! Let’s see what gaps we’d fill in these infamous mysteries—and how much closer we’d be to solving them.

Hey everyone! I’ve been diving deep into unsolved cases lately (like Hoffa, the Zodiac Killer, and even the Bermuda Triangle mysteries), and it got me thinking: If you had the chance to instantly solve one unsolved crime or mystery tomorrow—what would it be?

Would you go with something classic, like Jack the Ripper, or a more recent case, like the Delphi murders? Or maybe a wild one like what really happened to D.B. Cooper?

Tell me your choice and why—whether it’s to bring closure to families, satisfy your own curiosity, or just because it’s been haunting you! Bonus points if you add what you think the answer might be or how solving it could change history.

Let’s brainstorm and speculate together—I’m dying to know what you all think!

give me the most creepiest cases or mysterious cases so i can read up on them. what cases have stuck to you since you read about it ?

I’ve always been fascinated by true crime, especially the cases that remain a mystery. From high-profile cases like the Zodiac Killer to lesser-known local stories, it’s chilling to think about how some of these might never be solved.

Which unsolved true crime case sticks with you the most? Why does it fascinate or haunt you? Whether it’s a big-name case or one only a few people know about, I’d love to hear your thoughts and theories.

Let’s discuss and keep these stories alive—who knows, maybe one day they’ll finally get the answers they deserve.

Just after midnight on October 22, Dale Ryerson was murdered in Sullivan, Mo. Despite ample evidence, murder charges have not been filed against Cody Hunt. This seems to be a common occurrence with prosecutor Matthew Becker.

Our family along with KMOV 4 news out of STL has made several attempts to contact Mr. Becker to no avail. Recently, a police chief in a neighboring city released a public statement regarding the prosecuting attorney's office unwillingness to move forward with cases they present to them.

Below are several links regarding information in this case. We would love for you to check them out and do a story if seen fit. If you are interested, please contact the Admin from the Justice for Dale Ryerson FB page linked below.

Cliff notes: Cody Walker was seen going into Dales Apartment. Neighbors heard altercation and Dale screaming. They then saw Cody dragging a lifeless body out to Dale's jeep. The police were called and when they showed up, they found signs of a struggle in Dale's apartment, and his bed soaked in a large amount of blood, along with blood splatter on is wall.

Later that morning the Sullivan Police Department issued an Endangered Person Advisory for a missing person (Dale) believed to have been abducted by Cody Hunt.

About 18 hours later they find Dales Jeep in a neighbor county (Washington County), and inside were Dales remains.

Shortly After, Cody Hunt was arrested, and amongst Hunt’s belongings was a . 22 caliber rifle, Cody's now clean and folded camouflage clothing, an axe, a hatchet, a machete, and a coat with an apparent blood stain on it.

He was arrested in his friend's house, and according to that friend Cody told him "I killed that guy." Also, previous to Dale's disappearance Cody told one of Dale's neighbors "I'm going to kill that mother fucker."

A young woman in her early to mid twenties was murdered in her home within the last 3-4 years, by her ex-boyfriend with whom she’d recently broken up. All I can remember is that I THINK it was in the Chicago area, and that she was a well-known and beloved community activist in her area. The killer ex-bf lived with his sister, I believe, and is suspected/believed to have fled to Mexico immediately after the murder. I want to look up the case to see if any progress has been made in finding him. TIA

My aunt was murdered in the 60s, long before I was born. She was 5 and the murder was never solved. Several years ago a family member gave me a jacket that belonged to her (it's not evidence or anything related to her murder).... what do I do with it? It's a cute little children's jacket, it's also the only thing of hers that still exists. There's only one photo of her that I know of... thoughts? It feels weird to donate it or give it to a friend. Other family members don't want it...

On Saturday night, January 13th, 1968, my great Uncle Bu was an attendant at the Save-Way gas station in Enterprise, Alabama where he worked the night shift. Law enforcement would determine that there was a 22-minute window when Uncle Bu could have been murdered. They came to this conclusion because around 3:15 am, on January 14th 1968, Corporal Faris drove by the gas station and saw my Uncle alive and inside the building, fifteen minutes earlier, LT McDaniel and his partner also drove by the gas station and saw my uncle sitting inside, then at 3:37 am LT McDaniel and his partner stopped to grab a candy bar, when they walked in the door they spotted blood on the floor, broken glass, with a bloody trail leading behind the counter where they found my uncle, deceased.
The police stated there was a robbery (cash, 4 silver coins, and a $2 bill) and a struggle, my uncle was bludgeoned to death (injuries not survivable), and they found a hole in the wall possibly from a heavy weapon, no murder weapon was found at the scene.
The presumed murder weapon was found on top of a building across the street, it was shaped like a meat cleaver, cut from steel. No fingerprints. Two Unknown eyewitnesses (known as Mr. and Mrs X) came forward and saw two men leaving the building. A local newspaper reported, "Two young men were seen running away from the gas station around 3:30 am." It was reported they were seen throwing an unidentified object on top of the roof of the Enterprise Laundry. It is believed the front door to the gas station was locked and one or both of the young men used the weapon to break the glass, reached inside, and unlocked the door.

There was a man David Hutto, who was indicted, arrested, and tried, then acquitted.

A gas station attendant who worked the shift before Bu advised Bu to keep the station pistol (.32 caliber) in his pocket that night. Bu refused because Enterprise is a sleepy town, it was even a sleepy town when I grew up. It is believed he attempted to get to the lockbox where the pistol was put up as he was being attacked.

The St. Louis Jane Doe is an unidentified girl who was found murdered in the basement of an abandoned apartment building on February 28, 1983, in St. Louis, Missouri. She has also been nicknamed "Hope," "Precious Hope," and the "Little Jane Doe." The victim was estimated to be between eight and eleven years old when she was murdered and is believed to have been killed via strangulation. She was raped and decapitated. The brutality of the crime has led to national attention.

Edgar Sosa has a Facebook page dedicated to St. Louis Jane Doe 1983 called "Documentary: Our Precious Hope." He is the director of the documentary about her which can be watched on Tubi and Amazon. Please follow the page for more information about Jane Doe's lineage. Her family comes from Memphis, Tennessee; Calvert, Alabama; and Freestone County, Texas, primarily. If you have family in those areas or come from a large family, please consider taking a DNA test and uploading it to GEDmatch. You could be the key to identifying St. Louis Jane Doe.

I remember hearing about this case but I can’t find anything about it on google. From what I remember an autistic woman was living alone at an apartment and her parents would check up on her periodically. On one visit they walked in to find her having sex with a man and left the room to give them a minute to get dressed but when they entered the room again they found the man had left through a window and there daughter was dead the whole time. Nasty stuff.

Has anyone heard of this case? I would like to know if there’s been any updates since I last saw it years ago

I’m doing a film project for my class and I decided to do a true crime kind of video. I just don’t know what crime or unsolved murder. I know a lot of famous ones but I want my project to be unique and not copying more famous cases and documentaries. So I hope those on here can give me an idea. Mainly about lesser known murders or crimes that are still a bit famous. Solved or unsolved. It would really help me with my project.
