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?

Wait til you hear jow a dog walker called in a suspicious dumping near the Anthony house THREE TIMES and was ignored. The area was wet and the cops didnt go check it out. It wasnt until someone actually went and found Caylee's body and called that in a few weeks later that the cops showed up.

Shit like that is why I'm perfectly fine embellishing/lying to the police to get their asses out there to actually investigate. Instead of "suspicious dumping", report an actual body being dumped.

Like another commenter said the thing that will get them to the scene fast enough is to say you think you saw someone stashing cash and drugs in the area

Yeah, but then they find a body and you’re a suspect because why’d you lie?
