I think a lot about Maura Murray, Kyron Horman and Sky Metawala. A few I didn't see mentioned are Amy Wroe Bechtel and Evelyn Hartley. There is an interesting website called charleyproject.org and they have decent summaries of about 9,000 cases. It is all people who have been missing at least a year and the site can be searched geographically or chronologically.

I still think about the two teens who were murdered hiking last Feb, Liberty German and Abigail Williams. The audio of that man's voice haunts me, and it gives me chills to think about what was going on that one of them had the forethought to take that photo of him walking on the trail.
I did a search, and it seems as of last month, they might *possibly* have a suspect in a man who was threatening people on a CO hiking trail.

I think about these girls a lot too. Their story reminded me of another hiker named Meredith Emerson. She was hiking with her dog and she was attacked and eventually murdered after being held for a few days. That was the first missing person's case I read a lot about and I still think about it quite a few years later.

I would love to know what happened to Lisa Stebic and Stacy Peterson. I would also like to know who the shooter was in the Lane Bryant murders (in Illinois). I worked on 2/3 of these cases, and just want to see justice in all of them.

Yesssss. The podcast I was listening to (not sure if it was True Crime Garage or Generation Why) said that there’s reason to believe that there’s more audio/video *possibly* including video of their murder. I’m not sure why the police haven’t released more if they do have it.

This story hit me like I didn’t expect. Wasn’t she a victim of LISK or some other famous serial killer?

It really hit me too. Gary Hilton was convicted of both her murder and at least one more. I think he is a suspect in several others.

All these poor babies stolen from their beds. I mean how many are really kidnappings. I imagine most are parent or family members covering up something.
WTF is with the weird hand signs Brian Shaffer is making in the pictures with his parents? He’s making the same sign with his right hand in the picture with both his parents and also each parent individually.

Not finding a ton about it on the google
It looks like like some lame rock on hand gesture like the one on his Pearl Jam tattoo.

I looked again and now I’m wondering if maybe he’s signing “I love you” since his thumb is out, not tucked like it would be in the “rock on” gesture?
Weird to do that same sign in every picture, though. Why?

It is. And neither gesture/sign is done done at your side like that. I almost wondered if he had some finger injury/deformity that he was trying to hide.

I have been watching that Oxygen show on Maura Murray. Only three episodes so far, but this whole case is so baffling. The end of last week's episode had the EMT describing that he showed up to the crash and saw a rag stuffed up in her tail pipe, as if someone sabotaged her vehicle. I really think foul play was involved in this somehow.
I also remember reading about Meredith Emerson linked upthread. Her murder really gets me, too. I think part of it for me is that I am an avid hiker, too, and I regularly hike solo. It was so senseless and evil, the unknown stranger attack that I think many people fear. How awful.
I did a semester at IU a long time ago so Lauren Spierer is one I google every so often to see if there's been any news but am always disappointed I feel terrible for her family.
There are some cases more local to me that I also really want solved: William Tyrell, vanished without a trace 3 years ago aged 3. He was in foster care at the time. Sniffer dogs couldn't even find a scent.
Karen Ristevski, a 47yo mother who apparently left her house one morning on foot and never returned. Her body was found in a forest and I strongly suspect her husband did it but they have yet to make an arrest.

Did you read the link about Brandon Lawson? His is similar to Maura' s. Car broke down, called the police, then was just gone. It is crazy
Deanie Peters. She disappeared 36 years ago from our local middle school during her little brother's wrestling match. Her family lived on the street behind mine. I remember not being allowed to go anywhere alone for the longest time. I didn't know her since she was older than me but my brother knew her brother. Her disappearance devastated their family.
A classmate of mine my senior year of HS was murdered. It’s still not solved 24 years later. We all know who the suspect is and he gets called out a lot on FB. But the evidence either got messed up or wasn’t enough so he walked. I remember going to her funeral and it was standing room only with a line out the church door.
I lived in the same area as one of his sisters and knew her when we went missing. I've continued to follow his story for the last 13 years. A had a couple of mutual friends in common with her and stories about him occasionally pop up in my Facebook feed. So strange but I'm glad they've at least had some leads that have given them hope that he's still alive. Makes me wonder how brainwashed he might be by now. Does he even want to reunite with his family? Could he ever even if he wanted to?

Amber Hagerman: Her case caused the Amber Alert to be created. Someone saw her being abducted and called the police. She was found days later with wounds to her neck
Lisa Irwin: I think the parents are involved
Missy Bevers: This story is local to me. Missy taught a fitness class early in the morning at a church. Her murderer was caught on video inside the church. Still no suspects
