Watched a show about the KK’s Corner case the other day. McElveen didn’t do his son any favors with his attitude on the show although I doubt the boy was involved. Cisco lied so damn much you can’t believe anything that came out of his mouth. Rumors still persist about McElveen being involved but I think people just decided it was true and continue to keep it going (especially the families of the victims).

Stephen McGillberry murdering his family with a baseball bat in the neighborhood i live in. Walk past the house it happened in on family walks. Nobody lives there unsurprisingly.

People love a good conspiracy no matter what, and as you said, Wayne McElveen handled it poorly, fueling the fire.

The Ellender murders in sulphur. Happened when i was a teen. Alleged perp was a supposed satanist and drug head and he got Epsteined in jail. Also rumors the same Sherrif's family in KKs corner case was involved and it was tied to drugs but of course the official conclusion was the satanic kid did it. Chris Prudhomme.

Probably the Lane Bryant murders.
In my old neighborhood in Chicago, it was the Suzanne Degnan murder. This was arguably the first sensational national news story post-WWII, but it's mostly forgotten about today.
The murder was pinned on William Heirens, but there's a ton of doubt to this day he had anything to do with it. The son of George Hodel, the prime suspect in the Black Dahlia murder, believes his father may be responsible.

The women’s hands were tied behind their backs before they were shot, and a sixth victim survived the heinous attack that unfolded on Feb. 2, 2008 at a Tinley Park store inside the Brookside Marketplace shopping mall.
Police described the attack as an armed robbery that ended in horrific violence, with the store manager calling 911 while the attack was underway. The suspect’s voice was heard on the recording of the 911 call, but that suspect has never been identified.

On January 7, 1946, six-year-old Suzanne Degnan was discovered missing from her first-floor bedroom in Edgewater, Chicago.

Acting on an anonymous tip, police discovered Degnan's head in a sewer a block from the Degnan residence, her right leg in a catch basin, her torso in another storm drain and her left leg in another drain. Her arms were found a month later in another sewer after her other remains had already been interred.[14] Blood was found in the drains of laundry tubs in the basement laundry room of a nearby apartment building.

The jury found Ned Bergeron and Benjamin Daughtery liable and ordered them to pay a total of $4,600,000.00 in damages. This award was broken down into specific amounts for the family members.
Following the judgment, legal records indicate that collecting the funds was a significant challenge. By the early 1990s, the Warren family (as judgment creditors) pursued further legal action to revoke a pledge of stock Bergeron had made to his attorneys, alleging it was an attempt to prioritize other creditors over the family. At that time, Bergeron's primary asset was reported to be his 10 shares of stock in BWB Controls, Inc.

He obtained the rights before it was ever published and changed it.

Where I’m from would be this guy. There’s also a documentary on it called Bayou Blue
Ronald Dominique
Where I live now hasn’t had anything make the papers, although there was quite a bit of legendary back room operations happening with the Higgenbothams and Red’s Levee Bar
CSB: I coached and my kids played ball on the same field where Robert Duval killed his ex wife’s boyfriend in The Apostle

at least he got something out of it although I'm sure he would have preferred having his son alive
ETA: he seemed to be a heck of a determined guy as far as dogging OJ, as he should have been

The Black Dahlia.

It's not the most famous but since most of the entries here are genuinely gruesome and horrific, I will submit something a little more light hearted:
The infamous Nashville foot stomper. He had a completely uncontrollable urge to stomp on women's feet and terrorized the well-shoed women of Nashville for decades. The prettier the woman and the nicer her shoes, the more he had to stomp. Sometimes he would go into a store and stomp 3 or 4 women in one crazed outburst. Sometimes he would abscond with their shoe as a souvenir. He was often caught but sentences were mild and the very first thing he did when let out of jail was to foot stomp. One time a judge let him out on bail and right after he walked out of the courtroom an attorney was walking by in high heel shoes .... STOMP, STOMP. He didn't make it 10 feet before reoffending.

and was heard screaming over his shoulder to the judge, "the shoe's on the other foot now, isn't it your honor?"

In New Orleans, I'd go with the UpStairs Lounge Fire that killed 49 people in the summer of 73. It was a popular gay bar in the French Quarter.
A guy named Roger Dale Nunez was questioned and thought to be the person who started the fire but the evidence was not strong enough to bring charges. He died by suicide in the fall of 74.
Nunez was known to have psychiatric issues and had been kicked out of the bar earlier the day of the fire.
In total, 49 men died from all walks of life with 2 of them never being identified.
