Alan Rosser,12/11/99, Blackpool, Lancashire UK. 34 year old Alan Rosser was found shot in the head with a large calibre bullet on the above date outside his garage, Imperial Engineering, Back Eaves Street. In March 1999 he had been kidnapped, beaten with an iron bar & £40K worth of equipment taken from his garage. He was well known on the mod,scooter & soul club scene in Manchester, Wolverhampton & Sheffield & thought to be involved in low level drug dealing. He had also taken several deposits for custom built scooters which were never buillt.

This exactly. It's like he completely poofed into thin air. I'd love to be able to talk to Clint. I don't necessarily think he has guilty knowledge, but I do think he has at least some knowledge that could help.

I was just talking to my husband about something completely unrelated and I wonder.... Could Brian be put into Witsec? I know that seems far fetched and random. But he did completely disappear with no traces. Could it be possible he saw something at OSU or with a patient that caused him to go into Witsec? We'd never know nor would his family and friends.

For me it's a case from my hometown in Massachusetts. A 16 year old lifeguard named Molly Bish was kidnapped from a local swimming spot called Comins Pond. I firmly believe it was someone who was familiar with our small town. The pond is not easy to find if you're not a local. There's a back way to get into it through the woods which leads to a cemetery that's very secluded. I think the person lured her from there. Her body was found 3 years later less than 2 miles away on Whiskey Hill Road (Ware Rd but us locals call it Whiskey Hill or Ware Rd.) Where my house was was on the other side of the mountain she was found on. I was one year younger than her. She was on my bus in elementary school. Her Mom was my substitute teacher from time to time. Nice family. We all still hold out hope her killer will be identified but it's been 24 years. Rest in Peace, Molly! We'll never stop praying for you and your families justice.

In reference to the Missouri Jame Doe case mentioned first. I looked into her case, and it's just devastating! Not only was that baby brutalized and her body abused before and after her short life, but her case was just one fumble after another! They (the authorities) sent the sweater she was found wearing to a psychic in Florida and "never recieved it back"! According to them it "must've been lost in the mail". If that wasn't bad enough, they literally lost her after she was buried! It took them months to locate her body in order to do isotope testing on her bones, and the results are listed in direct opposite sides of each other in different places! I'll be starting a Facebook page that covers unsolved murders, primarily cold cases, and I'll be adding her case to my list because she deserves to be given her name back! The page is called "When Noone Was Watching" if anyone will be interested.

I grew up in Utah:

Susan Cox Powell (even though we all know who did it, it’s not known how or who else helped for sure, nor was her body found)
Rachael Runyan- before AMBER alert, it was known as “Rachael Alert” until 2003.
Hi-Fi Murders- the severe cruelty in this case still haunts us all.

My hometown...Birmingham, UK. Not "notorious" to the vast majority, but has often been on my mind since learning about it a few years ago. Not much info available, but an elderly couple and their disabled son were murdered in their home in 1992.

Smith family murders: Fresh police appeal over 1992 Birmingham family killings

Maybe the most well known missing person(s) case in Birmingham is that of Patrick Warren and David Spencer in 1996. 11 and 13 respectively, known as the Milk Carton Kids and sadly presumed deceased. Would love for the families to get answers.

In California, nobody seems to know who killed Nichole Brown and Ronald Goldman, even if everyone else knows.

Everyone is wrong.
There is a member of that family who was stood up by NB the night of the murders. Someone with multiple convictions for stabbing women.
Someone close enough related to Famous Suspect for that susepct to take the blame by staying silent.
Someone who routinely received luxury hand-me-downs from famous suspect.

Like Bruno Magli shoes.

Oh, wow. I had never heard of the one for my state! Will dig into this later..
Thanks for this post!

Haven’t seen anyone mention it yet, but I’d argue that IA’s biggest cold case is the Villisca Axe Murders Though, I don’t ever think it’ll be solved, it has been almost 113 years after all.

Oh, never heard of the smith case before seems such an odd one for someone to do, will need to look into it more. Like I wonder what the motive was there.

Milk carton Kids I know I feel like that is very famous one. Very sad.

Villisca Axe Murders

Wow thats a crazy one, Never heard of it before but just looked up up a little. Yeah no chance that is getting solved after 113 years.

I know they had a new suspect, arrested for kidnapping a 17-year old girl, but over two years, nothing new has been announced.

Unsolved murder of 74 year old Harry Howell, Blackpool 5/11/88. Harry Howell was beaten to death in his sheltered accomodation in Ibbison Court Blackpool on the above date. A Crimewatch appeal the following year found a possibilty soeone tried selling a watch similar to Harrys in Accrington.
On 3/8/89 career criminal Brian Newcombe killed 88 year old Jack Shuttleworth in a similar MO in Ingleton. Brian Newcombe also killed Margaret McOnie in a similar fashion in the Orkneys later the same month. Newcombe hung himself in prison before he could be itnerviewed about Harry Howell's murder.
