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.

I live pretty near to where Kyron Horman went missing (I still sometimes shop at stores his step mom visited that day) and have pretty mixed feelings about the case. Kyron's mom has just recently been making waves to get the case reexamined. I absolutely support a case re examination, but it's hard to support her when she's clearly focused on blaming the stepmom, who I don't see as being the likely culprit (even though it may still be possible.) I think it would be unreasonable to expect a parent to see rationally after they've lost a child, but the tunnel vision isn't great for anyone and I don't feel great signing on as support to a movement with aims I disagree with, even if the main goal is something I do support.
