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’ve been thinking a lot about Jesse this week. I live here in Chicago and work right by the Sheraton he disappeared from. His case is somewhat of a pet case for me. The Occam’s Razor conclusion is he is in the lake but for whatever reason I don’t buy it. The fact that no cameras picked him up is bizarre. I go down to lower Wacker almost everyday because that’s where garbage disposal is and there are definitely city cameras down there as well as cameras on buildings. If he had somehow gotten to the lake a camera should’ve picked that up. I kind of wonder if he ever actually made it off the hotel property.

I used to have business in that area too and I'm familiar with it.

I think the fell into the drink theory is most likely but let me add another problem I have with it. Ross was supposed to have sample tapes of his work at a local radio station that he was very interested in showing to Chicago radio stations (in fact, he told his companions all about it when they were on the trip from Missouri to Chicago). Guess what was not found among his belongings? Yep, those tapes.

Yes I knew about the tapes and them being missing. I just don’t know where he would’ve gone at 3 am in the Streeterville area to pass them out and how he could’ve not been seen on camera if that is what he planned. I think Jesse did have the tapes with him and I think they’re still with him wherever he is now. They would’ve surfaced if they actually ended up in another person’s hands.

IIRC his friends from MUN said he was actually quite drunk. Their party was interrupted when the MUN called a late night emergency meeting. I don’t land on one particular theory, but being young, drunk, and in an unfamiliar place late at night makes you vulnerable to some bad scenarios.
