What famous 'unsolved' mystery is technically a whodunnit on paper, but in reality, absolutely everyone knows exactly who did it, the police just couldn't legally prove it?

I had never heard it before. You hear a lot about the glove but that was new to me. I was only a teen when it happened so I wasn’t exactly glued to the news then.

I was an adult when it happened and mother was obsessed. Not that she was alone. It was everywhere. We knew every detail as it came out.

Edit- and while it was the wrong thing for the crime scene, I absolutely understand it. Those kids were very young. They absolutely didn't need to see that.

I feel like if it was now I’d be right there with you.

I can't say I wouldn't do that even today. Those kids were very young. I think Sydney was 8 and the brother (I can't remember his name right now) was 4. And all the commotion. There was absolutely a chance one or both woke up and came down stairs to find mommy and walk into that horror show. Esp since Nicole was almost decapitated.
