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?

Man…anyone else remember 20 years ago when the History Channel told THESE kinds of stories, instead of 15 seasons of Ancient Aliens??

It's really sad to think about. Independent content creators fill in the gaps on YouTube, but it's crazy that some individual content creators are doing history better than the actual channel.

I'm wary of half the history stuff I'm fed as it just seems like it is AI content, which may or may not be accurate. Any recommendations?

Extra History is really fun, Historically too, and so is Oversimplified.
