Mine would be the California Zodiac murders, the murder of the Grimes sisters in Chicago and the murder of Valerie Percy near Chicago. I would have mentioned the East Area Rapist/Original Night Stalker AKA The Golden State Killer case, but that one got solved recently. The Hinterkaifek murders are very strange as well.
All very odd cases with no strong suspects in any of them.
Excellent examples you bring up: I’m also very interested in the Zodiac and the Hinterkaifek cases (as well as the recently solved “EARONS case,” as they call it at the Unresolved Mysteries subreddit). I hadn’t heard of the Grimes sisters or Valerie Percy.
One of the cases that really gets a lot of attention at that subreddit (other than JonBenét Ramsey, of course—which probably does require a post here) is the death/disappearance of Joan Risch in 1961. I only heard of the case a few days ago, but it’s wild: every time it seems like you’ve got a good theory, you remember some little niggling detail that upsets the apple-cart. I’m inclined to believe that she died of a botched abortion, but that still leaves so many details unexplained…
