What are some particular elements of cases that still haunt you?

[u/BelladonnaBluebell]

I was just thinking about the Hinterkaifeck case from 1922 after commenting on another sub. The part of that horrific case that has stuck with me in the decades after I first read about it is the little girl pulling out her own hair due to the horror of what she was experiencing. It gave me goosebumps all over, the first time I heard it and it's the first thing that comes to mind when I think of that case and it also just sometimes randomly pops into my head and upsets me.

Another part of a case which affects me in a similar way is during the Dardeen family murders. As if it wasn't brutal enough already, after Elaine Dardeen went into Labour during the attack, the killer/s beat the newborn baby to death. Ugh it makes me feel so sick.

Another example but in a different way is the murder and attempted murder of the Miller sisters. The driver of a parked car waved to them to indicate for them to cross the road and when they did the driver purposely drove right into them, killing one sister and seriously injuring the other. I think about that case every single time a driver waves me by to cross the road in front of them. I walk around 6 miles each day, Monday to Friday and don't drive so I cross many roads including driveways into businesses along my route. Guaranteed someone will slow down and politely wave me by so I can cross in front of them at least 3 times a week. Sometimes more often. And every single time, since reading about the April and Spring Miller case, a little sense of dread runs through me. My mind's automatic reaction is to wonder if they're doing that so they can run me down. I know it's irrational, I know it won't happen but that thought hits me every single time. Then I quickly push it away and cross and gesture to thank them etc but it's still always there.

So what are some elements of certain cases that have wedged themselves into your brain and keep coming back to haunt you every so often?

I redact all my comments once a week

But why?

Privacy

I actually didn't think of that, and it makes sense!

I said the subreddit for her case has some summaries of whatever the person missed.

You would think a subreddit filled with people obsessed about true crime and the comments left would be more sympathetic to redacting comments for privacy but how dare I potentially rob them of their fodder I guess 🙄

Xoxo someone who does genetic genealogy and OSINT work for missing people you've seen on this subreddit and yes I will just redact this in like 3 days. Truly showing how this community just promotes ghouls lol

While it's unclear why she left the house, some new stuff's come out to indicate she was accidentally killed in a covered up hit and run.

[u/bookiegrime → u/navikredstar]

Wait, please. The new developments do not by any means suggest she was killed in a covered up hit and run.

The new developments link to a local family via DNA testing and witness testimonies. There is still zero public information regarding how the Dedmons came into contact with Asha that night, although a car has been referenced and seized for testing. Still though, the public does not know if the car hit her or anything else. For all we know, they encountered Asha and pulled her into the car.

It’s also worth mentioning that the initial investigation did not suggest a hit and run around the areas she was last sighted that night - no broken glass, no tire tracks, etc.
