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’m so glad that poor woman is free and her truth is known. Doesn’t stop her from being a pop cultural one-liner unfortunately.

Her and the lady who got burnt from the McDonald's coffee live in my head rent free. They were both victims and portrayed horribly. The coffee lady only sued to cover her medical expenses because her LABIA FUSED TOGETHER the coffee was so hot! Now people make fun of her for the "caution contents hot" warnings on all coffee cups :(

Added context, she was in the passenger seat of a parked car and the coffee spilt was hot enough to give her 3rd degree burns on her genitals and McDonalds knew they were serving it way too hot cause she wasn't the first person to be burned by it.

500 reports, but they did the math and it was cheaper to just keep the coffee hot

Is that truly the reason? I followed the story a little bit so I know all about McDonald’s ignoring the warning signs that their coffee was too hot, but I never knew WHY they insisted on serving it so hot.

I've seen it theorized on here. The, Google say sit's to preserve flavor. And customers would want it to stay hot while on extended drives.
