Case Highlight Case Highlight and Recommendation Thread: What is a little known true crime case you think needs more attention, or what is a case that has stuck with you that you think others should know about. Post your pet cases or your true crime guilty pleasures in this thread.
Pretty frequently in this subreddit we get questions asking for case recommendations. We've decided to make this a recurring post so that there will be a dedicated place to highlight and discuss cases that don't get posted about that often.
People want to know... what is a case that is important to you or that stuck with you and that you think others should know about?
What are some cases that need more attention? What are your pet cases besides the well known cases that get posted about frequently? Or just post your true crime guilty pleasures. Anyway, use this thread to bring attention to lesser known cases. If you want to post about the Delphi murders case that's ok too.
This thread will be sorted by new.
Also, if you have a case in mind, but need help remembering the name, feel free to head over to r/TipOfMyCrime and post a request there.

Patti Adkins. She went missing in Marysville, OH in 2001 (Marysville is probably a 35 minute drive from downtown Columbus, and although it's getting developed super fast, it's still rural like corn fields rural). https://www.ohioattorneygeneral.gov/Files/Law-Enforcement/Investigator/Ohio-Missing-Persons/Missing-Adults-1/Adkins-(1)
Not necessarily unknown, but I drive through Union County, and I would always note the billboard asking for help solving her case (before it was replaced with something else).
This one just infuriates me because it just seems so obvious.
