The Margaret Coon murder:
Margaret Coon’s cold case homicide, recounting the circumstances of her death and placing sex traffickers among those high on the suspect list. Days after Donna Bahm’s murder in January 1988, authorities told the press, it was time to re-examine the 1987 slaying of Margaret Ann Coon, an ex-prosecutor from Mandeville who specialized in prosecuting sex crimes. February 19, 1987, someone stabbed the attractive 41-year-old blonde out on her nightly 5-mile jog. She fell dead a half-mile from her home inside the exclusive Beau Chene subdivision, a fenced and guarded country-club community near Mandeville.
Margaret Coon went jogging after 1:00 a.m., or someone fooled investigators into believing she died jogging. It appears more probable that someone killed her elsewhere and staged the murder scene, and if that is the case, then the murderer must have been well known to Margaret Coon’s dog. “The funny thing about this Margaret Coon case,” Joe Freeman said. “They kept changing investigators. I do not believe anyone detective stayed on her case for more than a month at a time, and the detectives left her file in a place anyone could get to it. I sure wish I could get to it today.

Didn't we just do this thread? Yup.
I love threads like these though. They always get me down some deep Wikipedia rabbit holes. I'm even searching some of the cases in this thread and they come up as links I've previously clicked fairly recently (likely from that thread above).
Threads like these remind me just how much evil is lurking in the world. Scary to think about if you think too hard about it.
ETA: Here is a thread/discussion about Margaret Coon from a few years ago: LINK
