What case really burns your butt?

My apologies if this has been covered already, I am a newbie. I don't know, man, with so much basically murder 🤬🤬🤬🤬 on our screens from HBO to Discovery, some really excellent Ytube vloggers, and beyond, covering every murdering WTF dirtbag old and new often repeated in other guises from program to program, Fear Thy Neighbor, American Monster, Dateline, and keep going times one hundred, it's hard to keep up with as the Jewish faith so eloquently phrase one of extremely poor character such as these murderers: A " NEBBISH." Perfect, aint it? But every once in a while a case hoofs up that really gets under the skin that u can't get out of your head, for why, I don't know. I should, I am a former psychologist and I have covered that with colleagues in the past, to no avail, from newbie qualified to old dog, none of us had an answer, why? For me it was the two <modsnip> who killed Cassie Jo Stoddart - that haunts me and I don't know why? Casey Marie Anthony burns my wife's 🤬🤬🤬, mention that name and she freaks out - she'd scratch her eyes out given half a chance. So, the crux of the matter: we watch literally hundreds of murder documentaries (murder 🤬🤬🤬🤬) and we are meh to 99.9% of them - just the right amount of self righteous indignation to make ourselves feel good, to justify our voyeurism into the real life macabre. So why does everybody have a special pet murder case that can't be shaken. Y'all know what I'm talking about - that one case that rankles and itches.
Right now, it's a case my friend is working on that is so in your face : The FBI is investigating the death of Dennoriss Richardson, a Black man found hanging in an abandoned house in Colbert County, Alabama, after his family and community raised concerns about the police's handling of the case, including a lawsuit Richardson filed alleging police misconduct.
 
For me it’s the Sarah Everard case due to personal reasons.

When living in London I walked the road she was abducted on many times, often alone & often after dark.

I was taught growing up to always respect & obey the police - I believe if Wayne Couzens tried to arrest me on that road using his warrant card I would have been Sarah as my instinct would’ve been to obey the police.

The fact that he drove her for hours before raping & murdering her sends shivers down my spine - the fear she must’ve been in on that journey 🙁🙁
its ironic when it dawned on sarah she was being snatched. she would have been thinking this man is not a real police officer. he is a sex predator using a fake warrant card.

3 types
Police botched it - Joey Watkins, Christian Andreachio, Lauren Agee

Video but still unsolved. - Missy Beavers and Elizabeth Barraza ( I knew her personally and I can not emphasize enough how hard it is to understand anyone having beef with her. She was such a kind person)

Anything with children
I’m familiar with the Lauren Agee case, my best friend recovered her and was the one who alerted her mother due to the obvious. It troubles both of us, he was a officer doing security, I’m a former officer and it doesn’t add up.
 
West Memphis Three - Stevie, Michael and Christopher. My heart is completely broken over that case, I have a son of a similar age to the victims.

Closer to home, the abduction and murder of James Bulger in Bootle, England. It happened in my home city, my dad was a police officer at the time. I was 10 years old and I remember sitting in the school playground with my friends, crying our eyes out. For many of us it was the first time we realised that evil existed.
I completely agree with you. The James Bulger murder case is probably the most disturbing, horrific and evil case. My heart just breaks for that little innocent terrified boy. It’s just unimaginable that those kids could callously torture and murder a toddler and have no remorse or feelings. Pure evil.

interesting. you mention the memphis three. i think they were responsible. they are free now, but damian eccles loved the attention he got at trial, which is strange if your innocent.

yes, that is what i thought. eccles loved the media attention, and in interviews he did at the time he never really protested his innocence. like you said this is not the behaviour of a innocent man.
 
Zahra Baker. In her 10 short years she successfully battled cancer, learned to live as an amputee, and dealt with her hearing loss, only to meet her end dismembered and thrown all over NC like she was trash. She deserved SO much better than the the human filth that are Eliza and Adam Baker !
AGREE! Here is the latest on that one:

Baker was moved on Wednesday morning, July 2, from Anson Correctional Institution in Polkton to begin serving a federal sentence related to a prescription drug conspiracy.
[snip]
Her federal sentence stems from a 2013 conviction for conspiracy to distribute controlled substances, including oxycodone, hydrocodone, and alprazolam.

When she was killed, her disappearance wasn't reported for weeks and police eventually determined that she had been murdered and her body dismembered. Police found her prosthetic leg and parts of her body, but her head was never located.

Adam Baker was never arrested or named a person of interest in the murder of his daughter.
Adam Baker Deported with Daughter Zahra's Remains

I still cannot fathom how Zahra's father was never charged in her death and disposal. :( A true miscarriage of justice MOO
 
Coming up on the 50th anniversary of the disappearance of teamster boss Jimmy Hoffa. Abducted from a metro-Detroit restaurant on July 30, 1975. Declared dead in 1982. Hoffa's body has never been located.
Every time we drive by that restaurant I think of Jimmy Hoffa and what happened that day in 1975!!!! I guess we will never know what really happened that day except we know Mr. Hoffa is dead.
 
Andrew Innes murdering Bennylyn & Jellica Burke. TW this is horror film material! He also s3xually assaulted Jellica & her sister! Innes is said to have no previous convictions what else has he done?
 
Unsolved murder of Michael Shipton, aka Joe Shipton, 25//3/06, Sheering, Essex UK
61 year old Joe Shipton was found beaten to death in his house at The Plashets, Sheering near Harlow on the above date.
Although Joe lived in the village all his life little is known of him. He worked as a handyman & had once been married but was estranged from his ex wife & daughter who lived abroad. Joe was said to lend small amounts of money & rumoured to have a large amount of cash in his home. He was also said to have had relations with men & women from outside the area & would often vanish for weeks before returning. Joe had also been seen in drag several times.
Something unusual before his murder Joe was seen many times buying ready made cigarettes. Although a smoker Joe only smoked hand rolled cigarettes. Who were they for?
Despite a substantial reward Joe Shipton's murder remains unsolved with little further progress made

I am not familiar with this case, but there are so many, too many cases like this- where the perpetrator will never be known- it is so sad and frustrating and it leaves the families in tatters, wondering who murdered their loved one.

Joe Shipton's murder is one of those cases with not much further information. There was a Crimewatch reconstruction which got a few calls though.
