Jerry Fowler’s wife that went missing at Christmas years ago. From a restaurant in Port Allen? Not a trace.
I thought it was pretty much a foregone conclusion that it was DTL. I recall reading some pretty damning circumstantial evidence pointing to him.
Hopefully there’s a hell, so he can be roasting there as I type.

No cold case is my "favorite" to be clear. All of them are horrifying on some level. What happened to John Walsh's boy still chills me to the core. I cried when they closed that case.
I grew up in Milwaukee and nothing stands out more to me than the disappearance of Alexis Patterson in 2002. It's like a 30 second walk from the intersection where she crossed the street (her stepdad turned around to head home after saying goodbye at that spot) to the entrance of her elementary school. Sometime during those 30 seconds she vanished. She hasn't been seen or heard from since.
It was the leading local story every night for months.
20 goddamn years later and still no trace of that little girl. Her mother is an advocate for missing children these days and bless her, seriously, because if that were my kid I would've been driven to insanity a long time ago.

I don't really follow cold cases or watch any of the shows very often, so I don't have much interest in them except for maybe the 1976 murder of Sharon Ryan in Portland. That's because I have family that lived nearby when it happened and I've heard a bit about it from them.

Came to see if this made anyone's list. Somehow, I had never heard of it. This was the Jon Benet case before JBR

Actually another one that has always stuck in my mind is Philadelphia's "Boy In The Box". Incredibly they just cracked his actual identity - Joseph Zarelli.
I only briefly looked at this but it had to be the parents right? They never even reported him missing.

@JodyPlauche,
Can you elaborate on the hotel meeting? Why were you and your brothers so convinced? Was the Skakel fellow that went to prison innocent? Thanks.

Season II of Gone South is another excellent pod cast!
“Starting in the sixties, a loose-knit confederation of traveling criminals known as the Dixie Mafia terrorized every state from Georgia to Oklahoma. Its hundreds of members, unofficially headquartered in Biloxi, Mississippi, specialized in scams, heists and murder. Their alleged leader — the estranged son of a prominent Oklahoma politician — was a skilled and charismatic outlaw named Kirksey Nix.
When Nix was sentenced to life in prison at Angola for a murder he committed in New Orleans, the Dixie Mafia was thought to be extinct. But fifteen years later, a sitting criminal court judge named Vincent Sherry and his wife Margaret, a mayoral candidate for the city of Biloxi, were assassinated. As the case ran cold, authorities were forced to confront a disturbing reality: the Dixie Mafia was not done yet.”
