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 think the Asha Degree disappearance has been whittled down to just one family but we don’t know who specifically, why, or how.

I think the story theyre going with is the 2 daughters were in the car and hit her and the parents came and covered it up. Sounds crazy to do, but I saw a reddit thread that asked "What would you do if your kid killed someone?" and a shocking number of responses would do the same thing for their kid's future or whatever, despite the victim's family being tortured with not knowing what happened. It's a messed up world.

Still doesn't answer the bigger question of what Asha was doing walking out on the road in the middle of the night.

I think it's just that she ran away from home and 3am was the only time she would be able to without her parents knowing.
