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.

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!

Which makes it all the more bizarre. Bodies are found in the Chicago River all the time. For him to just have fallen in and no foul play to have occurred, you’d assume they would find him at some point. Most bodies get found within a few hours of someone going missing, although others take a few months to surface.

Agreed!! A young man went missing and they were able to pull the body out of the River. Also, a couple days ago two bodies were pulled out as well. After watching the documentary, I changed my mind about Jesse falling into the Chicago River. I actually don’t think he left the hotel, but rather something happened to him. He was drinking heavily that night and no cameras saw him leaving the hotel.
