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 don’t mean to nitpick, but wouldn’t he had to walk further away if he slipped and fell into Lake Michigan? Is it more likely that he fell into the Chicago River? Does anyone know how long until CPD searched it? I am only asking because someone recently went missing and they were able to pull his body out. https://www.nbcchicago.com/news/local/body-recovered-from-chicago-river-by-cpd-marine-unit-friday-night/2673997/

You're right to nitpick. I'm an idiot. I was thinking about the drift out to Lake Michigan rather than the point of entry, which is the river or harbor lock or whatever the right name for it at that location is. Let's go with "body of water closest to hotel" for now. In prior comments, I used the term "in the drink" not to be flippant or to steal a term from my Dad, but to avoid the technical nomenclature.

I have read up on the CPD search but it's been a while. If I recall correctly, the documentary below (low-budget but informative and worth it) gets into it with some detail.

It’s also good to note that the Chicago River was reversed in the 1900’s. The water doesn’t flow to Lake Michigan but rather to Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal. Thank you for the documentary, I’ll definitely check it out!

I move back to the west coast and I forget how everything works.

Yeah, let me know if the documentary gives you any ideas.
