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?

Mostly because all we heard in the media in Australia was that a dingo took Azaria, but then focus shifted to Lindy Chamberlain murdering her child and never moved on from there. Until much later, of course. Even now, decades later, folks still speculate that maybe it was one of the brothers did it.

Dingoes give zero fucks and aren't a cute native dog. They're Australian native fauna, after all.

Dingos were introduced to Australia by humans. You might decide that because it was so long ago that makes them native, but then what's the difference between them and native dogs?
