The Flora fire sisters. It might be a silly/arbitrary thing to say but it really feels solvable... which makes it all the more frustrating.

I think of the 2012 abduction and murder of 10-year-old Lyric Cook-Morrissey and 8-year-old Elizabeth Collins often.

Also Inga Gehricke. Was someone living or working on that property involved in/responsible for her disappearance? Who abducted her and how did they get away with it? I hope she will be found soon and justice pursued.

Adding again, the Grimes sisters/Chicago IL, very old case

Suzie Lamplugh, missing English Estate Agent, possibly a victim of John Cannan,1980's

Also, the incredible thread here on WS on American tourist Susan McLean that @CoverMeCagney pointed me towards.

Thankfully, I no longer have to list as #1 Abby and Libby, Delphi.

Thanks for mentioning Danielle Imbo and Richard Petrone- I think about them often--it really seems like an insolvable mystery

Someone's already mentioned St Louis Jane Doe, so here are a couple of others less well known.

Quanne Diec. Australia - Australia - Quanne Diec, 12, Granville, NSW, 27 Jul 1998 *Arrest*

Madison Doe. TX - TX - Madisonville, UnkFem 2-6, UP15905, feeding tube, in suitcase, clothes, blankets, Sep'16

NC '83 Christmas Jane Doe. NC - NC - Northampton Co, Christmas Doe, Blk/WhtFem, UP2196, 4-7, near I-95 rest area, Dec'83

Kids shouldn't go missing without a trace, but it's equally obscene when they get dumped like garbage and absolutely nobody knows who they are or seems to be missing them.

Glenis Caruthers.
This case seems to have flown under the radar compared to some of the other cases. I first became aware of it when following the Joanna Yeats case. We now know that it was not the same killer.
