People Explain Which Unsolved Cases And Mysteries They'd Like To See Solved

There's little more frustrating than a mystery that was never solved.

The victim's family never gets closure, a killer may still be at large, and our minds continue to spin trying to figure out how something happened.

Perhaps most frustrating of all is knowing that there is an explanation for it out there somewhere.

And, there are people desperate to find it.


Redditor BeautifulShape9441 was curious to hear which unsolved mysteries people would give anything to solve, leading them to ask:
"You get the opportunity to find out the truth behind one unsolved case, which are you choosing?"

Missing Friend

"I wish I could find out what happened to my childhood best friend."

"She went missing ten years ago and nothing was discovered about the case since."- Weevelle

Missing Neighbor

"There was a kid that went missing right around my hometown when I was a kid."

"Couple years younger than me."

"It was on the news a bit, it kinda fizzled out and I haven't been able to find anything since."

"Still see flyers for him now and then. Kyron Horman."- KnockerFogger69

Murderer On The Loose

"For all my french redditors here, I will say the Xavier Dupont De Ligonnès case."

"The guy killed all his family and buried them under his concrete deck, before disappearing completely without leaving any traces, and it has been more than ten years."- OopsieDoopsi

Mysterious Death

"Gareth Williams, that MI6 guy who was found dead inside a padlocked suitcase."

"His death was ruled as a self-inflicted accident and then later some former KGB guy would claim the KGB killed him after failing to convert him to a double agent."- adweeeb·

Not A Simple Hit And Run...

"Two boys I went to school with were killed in a hit and run by the side of the road while walking home from a party.'

"According to some reports, only one of the boys died from being hit by a car and the other appeared to have been beaten to death."

"It's been 20 years and no one has ever confessed or offered any information about the case."- an-invisible-titan

What Is Her Brother-In-Law Hiding?

"Zodiac killer."- tdunc1994

"Where is Shelly Miscavige?"- Bucketlist074

Tragically Confusing

"Asha Degree."

"9-year-old girl left her house in the middle of the night, while it was storming and cold, with a pre packed bag of clothes."

"She had no reason to run away, and had limited computer access."

"A truck driver said they saw her walking that same early morning on the dark next to the highway, and that she ran into the woods."

"Over a year later, her backpack was found wrapped in a plastic bag about 26 miles away, which didn’t yield any further developments."

"Why did she leave?"

"Why did she run from the trucker?"

"How did her backpack end up so far away?"

"Is she still alive?"

"Was she met with foul play?"- bookloverpink

A Step-By-Step Guide

Who Was That Guy?!?!

"Jennifer Kesse."

They Deserve Justice

"My friends' murder."

"He was killed ten years ago over Thanksgiving weekend, and his case still remains open today."

"His family deserves to know."- ToulouseDM

Hopefully Not For Long

"I know it's very recent but the Idaho college murders."- surgeryboy7

It's tragic that these mysteries remain unsolved.

But if there is anything to be gained from this mystery, it's the fact that these poor people will never be forgotten.

As the saying goes, "you die twice, once when you take your last breath, and once when they stop saying your name."
