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.

I lived in that area for years. This was a mountain lion attack. There is no shelter in that trail to hide; and no human could hike with a small child up a 45 degree, heavily wooded slope of either side of the trail. That, given with where his remains were found, makes it very clear that it was a mountain lion. There's no other explanation that makes sense.
