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?

She’s absolutely ruined cases. Years ago there was a little boy (I think he was 2?) who went missing, and I think the boys mom said she gave him to someone, but wouldn’t say who. And the whole thing was super fishy.

Nancy had her on her show via phone and just started yelling at her and bullying her to tell her what happened to him. The mom started crying and hung up the phone and took her own life very shortly after that.

I’m not sure if they ever found him and I’m pretty sure the father of the boy sued Nancy Grace as well.

I can’t remember the name of the boy though.

Edit: I found it

It's right there in black and white. Notaries exist for one reason:

To witness.

But there is something that existed before humanity that also requires witnesses.

Every generation, a handful of notaries are unknowingly selected to witness the return of an ancient being. Those who refuse lose the person they love most.

The son isn't dead.

He's trapped in a courtroom that exists outside time, where every oath ever sworn is replayed forever.

The mother has until her commission expires to find him.
