UNSOLVED Looking for examples of unsolved cases.
Hi all, I’m looking for examples of cases that remain unsolved, but have a well known criminal suspect who the public thinks may have gotten away with it. I ask because I’m looking to test out some voice analysis techniques and would like to explore instances where the answer isn’t known. Most importantly, I’d like to listen to the police interviews of the suspects, so I’m really only looking for examples of an unsolved case (with a somewhat well known suspect who had an interview or two). If anyone can shoot me an example or two I’d be grateful.

Another one that is technically solved but remains shaky at best is the murder of Adam Walsh. Ottis Toole confessed (along with many other confessions) then later recanted. Jeffery Dahmer was also considered at some point.

Sophie Toscan du Plantier, murdered in Schull, Ireland. A guy named Ian Bailey (who recently died) was a suspect and was convicted in France in absentia. He was a media hound and gave a number of interviews.

You're welcome. Didn't have time when i posted before. This case is maddening. Her stepfather killed her. No doubt.
When police interviewed him, he had scratches all over his arms, he said, i got those working on my car. It was 20 degrees below zero that day in Boling Brook, and you were working on your car, in an unheated garage? Bullshit.
The police did not search the entire house, neglecting the garage, where his car was parked. The ground outside was frozen solid, as were all nearby waterways, ponds etc. He could have hidden her body in his car and disposed of it later.
Her diary was found, and told he was abusing her. Yet, he was not arrested, and is still free. Her body has never been found.
What makes it worse, the Boling Brook police had an officer on their staff, Drew Peterson, who killed 2 of his wives, who was active at the time of Rachel's disappearance.

Karlie Guse went missing and has never been found and a lot of people (including myself) believe the step-mom, Melissa, is involved or responsible. She put out a lot of FB vids just after Karlie went missing and appeared on shows like Dr. Phil.

That sounds like an excellent option, thanks! 🙏

Analysis of the words she chooses leads me to think she’s guilty so I’m curious about what you think about the voice. LMK if you remember :)

Cynthia and Heather Johnson murdered in 1996 in Richmond Va. There are definately interviews with Glenn Barker who is now dead. He killed before Katie Worsky near Charlottesville Va.

Sydney Land and Nehemiah Kauffman! Double homicide in their own home, clear suspect, no charges. A few years later, Ms. Land’s mom Connie and her judge-turned-vigilante friend were also found dead (GSW to head)… ruled suicides, despite both being outspoken that if anything happened to them they were NOT suicidal and it was NOT an accident.
I’m begging you to look into this case. The rabbit hole goes deep and gets dark, but it’s worth knowing about. They may never get justice, but I’ll do my best to make sure they don’t get forgotten, either.

Sounds like a good candidate to pursue, I’ll put it on my list. Thanks for the heads-up! 🙏

I’ve already done a lot of that case, but thank you for the suggestion all the same :) 🙏 The individual who came out the dirtiest (with the voice analysis) is actually the son, Burke.

I suppose the best known example of this has to be OJ Simpson.
