Conversations and speculation about unsolved crimes always catches my attention. So I ask, what are the most interesting/notable unsolved crimes in history? I would have to put Jack the Ripper at the #1 spot.

D.B. Cooper.
Saw a story on it today actually, that's why it immediately came to mind.

Interesting. It would be crazy if they actually solved that one after so many years.

Regarding DB Cooper, I think that he is probably living in a beach town in Mexico, drinking margaritas and still laughing about how he pulled of the most flawless and legendary heist in history. Seriously, why would he take the chance of staying in the US?

Always fascinated by the Jimmy Hoffa case.
Here's the more extensive article from the Telegraph about the DB Cooper case.

I always thought the Zodiac case was interesting, even though now they're relatively sure who the guy was.

The disappearance of Judge Crater. And in Chicago in the 50's there were several murders of teenagers, two of which have never been solved: Judith Mae Andersen and the Grimes sisters.
As to Jon Benet and Kaylee, I assume you're speaking legally, since we know who killed them: their mothers. Remember, the person who wrote the 300 word "ransom" note in the Ramsey case asked for an amount of money equal to John Ramsey's Christmas bonus that year. How many people would know that? The note writer also referred to John's "good southern common sense." John was from Michigan. But Patsy and her cracker family always kidded him about his "good southern common sense." And who writes a 300 word "ransom " note anyway? Finally, the FBI was able to rule everyone but Patsy out as the writer of that note. Patsy wrote the note and was responsible for the death of Jon Benet. In the words of that Boulder cop on Larry King: "Patsy, I think you're good for this."

Yeah, I was writing with tongue planted in cheek. I should have added who killed Nicole Brown Simpson.
On a more serious note, the killer or killers of several children at the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto in 1980 and 1981 have never been found.

There was a hilarious Doonsberry strip where OJ is going door to door trying to find the killer. At one house a little boy answers the door and asks him how he's doing. "You know, grieve, party, grieve, party." The kid asks OJ if he wants to talk to his grandmother.

I could be wrong, but weren't the Ramseys exonerated by DNA analysis a few years back? Or was that inconclusive?

Re: The Most Interesting/Notable Unsolved Crimes in History
There was evidently no DNA from the family on Jon Benet and some "foreign" DNA was present. Exoneration might be too strong a word. And it doesn't explain that ransom note. How likely is it that a wandering sexual predator found his way into that house, took the little girl our of her bedroom, went down two flights of stairs and killed her (in the house with her family there)? Then wrote a 300 word "ransom" note demanding 118K, the exact amount of John Ramsey's Christmas bonus. And don't forget the reference to john's "good southern common sense," a family joke which this anonymous, sexual predator would be unlikely to know. Patsy's dead. And the incompetence of the authorities in Boulder was graphically illustrated when they paid thousands of tax dollars to bring that creepy Karr character back for questioning. BTW, I believe I read somewhere that POS has had a sex change. Perfect. Paty's good for it, IMO, but the case will never be closed. Lawrence Schiller called his book "Perfect Murder, Perfect Town" for a reason.
