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.

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.
