They are? The guy they kept bringing in came up negative in all their DNA tests, including old DNA from the original letters he sent. That one died in '92, IIRC.

Jacob Wetterling.

It's probably considered regional (happened in MN), but even in the last year or two, they were still trying to figure it out (crime happened in '89, some stuff was seized in 2010, but nothing came of it).
 
Re: The Most Interesting/Notable Unsolved Crimes in History

Who was the kid who disappeared and may have been the first to be shown on milk cartons? New York case. Just read something about his dad. There was also a high profile case in Des Moines involving a boy named Johnny Gosch. Disappeared on his paper route. No trace. The case left his mother quite demented, IMO. Twenty years later she's still peddling conspiracy theories that the boy was kidnapped by pedophiles. Really a very sad case.

Is Etan Patz the NY boy? And has anybody mentioned Hoffa?

These cases in the 80's became part of the so-called "missing child movement," which claimed that 50,000 kids a year are "kidnapped." That's preposterous on its face. Most kids who go missing are taken by non-custodial parents or are runaway/throwaway kids, usually teenagers. If there were 50K kids taken every year (or even a tiny fraction of that number) by strangers, we'd have a national nervous breakdown, suspend due process and begin hanging people on street corners.
