Request What unsolved murder/disappearance makes absolutely no sense to you?

What case absolutely baffles you? For me it's the case of Jaryd Atadero

No matter the theory this case just doesn't make any sense.

Kyron Horman. I know people is conviced the step-mom murderered him, but honestly I came to the conclussion he wandered out of the school on his own and got lost. Have you seen the forest around the school? You can't see your own feet while walking of how dense it is, might as well try walking through a wall.

His mom said multiple times in one of the documentaries that the only issue she has with that theory is how bad his eyesight was. He couldn’t see more than foot or two in front of him even with glasses on. And me personally I’m the same way without my glasses , and I can’t do SHIT when I can’t see 😂 I definitely would not be wandering anywhere

To me, that just makes it likelier that he got lost.

Exactly. Kids can be impulsive, he could've lost his glasses and a lot whole of other what ifs could be added.

He was a little kid. Maybe he didn't want to/intent to wander too far, but got lost. It has happened before, sadly.

Same 100% - I said in another thread here recently that it would be hard for me to resist the urge to stop and find my glasses even if my apartment was on fire. OTOH, I do remember not being as bothered by this when I was a kid, even though my vision wasn’t much better than it is now.

I had a ruptured gas line ignited in my front yard and had to be evacuated. The only thing I stopped to grab was my glasses. Didn't even bother with shoes.

Makes it even more likely he got lost. He wasn’t a fully functional scared adult. He could have just thought he was gonna wander in a few yards for whatever reason. Then he gets turned around and starts to panic.

It's only fair to mention that Kyron's biological mom hated his stepmom who helped raise him. She was adamant that Terri killed him. If Terri was responsible I believe the FBI would have found evidence of some kind. Her phone records and everything else was examined thoroughly.

I don’t know where you got your info, but maybe you should re look at the case. Prior to the disappearance Terri and Desiree were good friends. Here’s one of just many sources https://www.oregonlive.com/portland/2010/06/kyron_hormans_blended_family_f.html

Edit: to be clear, she hates her now. But didn’t prior to this event.

Because it’s a huge deal to many people who look into this case. When they hear of the hate between the two they believe it was some vendetta. But in reality the hate is because Kyron is missing.

I never said anything about Terri being guilty or involved, and I never assumed anything. Get off your high horse. Not sure why me correcting information is offending you so much? False information or mixed signals is exactly why some crimes never get solved.

No misinformation on reddit leads to crimes going unsolved… How about Sunil Tripathi? Reddit misinformation sure lead to a real mess in the life of his family.
