Most people can name at least one unsolved mystery out there, but you might be surprised to hear that around 40% of murders in the US go unsolved. So it simply stands to reason that most places where humans live will have at least a few crimes or weird occurrences that are still unexplained.

Germany - the YOGTZE case.
It is an unsolved m****r case where the victim wrote down a "word" with unknown meaning.
Also the unsolved disappearance of Lars Mittank (although it happened in Bulgaria).

British Columbia -- the disappearance of the Jack family, 1989. This case is unusual even in a province that has a lot of missing persons cases, compared with the rest of the country. (A lot of sparsely-populated terrain that's difficult to search due to rugged topography, dense forests, and coastlines/lakes is a major factor.) Multiple people disappearing at the same time is much less common than individuals going missing -- an entire family, including the kids, is very strange. I don't think there's another case like it in Canada. The circumstances suggest they didn't go out camping/boating and have an accident -- the fact that other people, who have not been identified, were involved is rather ominous.

Jefferson Davis parish, Louisiana.
Jeff Davis 8, 8 girls k**led by a serial k**ler right? Well…all the girls knew each other, all were in p**********n and d***s, all witnessed a cop k**l a d**g d****r in a d**g den.
After that it just gets even weirder, from dirty cops, to a local criminal, to a politician who was supposedly running a d**g and p**********n ring and had national ambitions for congress.
Watch m****r on the bayou or read the book. This story is crazy and unsolved.

Where I come from in Central Scotland has low crime and the inhabitants generally have their feet on the ground so there is a lack of mystery ... with one striking exception: Roughcastle Brickworks m****r (1949)
This is a fantastically obscure case.

Phoenix AZ area. Mikelle Biggs. It has always bugged me because she was my age and the short amount of time she disappeared was just scary.

I’m from Maryland. The m****r of Kanika Powell (in August 2008) is both baffling and terrifying.

This is from just down the road from where I live. I believe law enforcement has an idea of who did it, but doesn't have the evidence for arrest.
