KEITH WARREN: Found hanging in 1986 - Ruled suicide, evidence makes that look doubtful
https://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/docuseries-revisits-1986-case-of-black-man-found-hanging-in-tree-in-silver-spring/2974005/ This case reminds me a lot of Ahmaud Arbery's death. I'm not saying there was a deliberate police coverup or that the coroner was involved. However, at best this case was supremely mishandled. If you have Discovery+ I suggest watching the series "Uprooted" which is about his death.

Missing wife of decapitated Georgia man found dead in lake May 17, 2014 With the discovery of the body of an 87-year-old Georgia woman whose disappearance came to light after her husband’s decapitated body was found in their waterfront home, authorities not only want to know who did it, but also why.

CANADA - HIGHWAY OF TEARS CASE
Highway of Tears https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Highway_of_Tears The Highway of Tears is a 725-kilometre (450 mi) corridor of Highway 16 between Prince George and Prince Rupert in British Columbia, Canada, which has been the location of many missing and murdered Indigenous women (MMIW) beginning in 1970. The phrase was coined during a vigil held in Terrace, British Columbia in 1998, by Florence Naziel, who was thinking of the victims' families crying over their loved ones. There is a disproportionately high number of Indigenous women on the list of victims. Proposed explanations for the years-long endurance of the crimes and the limited progress in identifying culprits include poverty, drug abuse, widespread domestic violence...
Hogan's Heroes star BOB CRANE was murdered in Scottsdale, Arizona - 1978
BOB CRANE was found murdered in his Scottsdale apartment on June 29, 1978, his skull bashed in with a blunt object and an electrical cord around his neck. His death — and the sordid revelations that followed — stunned Hollywood, his fans and his family. And though it's been 40 years, and though he now knows things that he wishes he didn't, hardly a day goes by that Bob Crane Jr. doesn't think about his father. The one-time Los Angeles radio personality had only one hit television show, and it didn't even get a farewell episode because they didn't do them back then. Bob Crane Jr. said there are a number of reasons why the public still craves information about his father. First, the show is still on TV. Its World War II setting makes...

Book claims FBI believes I-70 killer from Indianapolis It’s been one of the most enduring murder mysteries of the last 30 years: the identity and the motive behind the I-70 killings, a string of slayings in strip malls near interstates stretching from Indiana to Kansas in the early 1990s.

The mystery of the "REDHEAD MURDERS" - Are they all related to one serial killer?
https://grimhappenings.com/the-redhead-murders As per the name, the Redhead Murders is the name given to the six to eleven unsolved murders of redheaded women along major highways in the United States in the 1980s. These victims were often prostitutes or hitchhikers, and many were never identified due to an inability to find a family to verify their identities. Due to the locations of the victims’ bodies, many speculated that the murderer was a truck driver. The first death that was later attributed to this killer was that of an unidentified White woman whose body was found naked alongside Route 250 near Littleton in Wetzel County, West Virginia, on Feb. 13, 1983. Like many of the so-called Redhead Murders, her hair was not truly red...
