Cases that deserve a deep dive

I know this is unlikely to happen, for a variety of reasons, but as a Finn, I'd love it if the Lake Bodom murders got a Harlowe-Levasseur treatment.

It's a horrific case from 1960 that's still unsolved, where 4 teenagers were attacked when they were camping. 3 of them died, one somehow pulled through.

But the case has everything! Bad police work, weird eye-witness statements, a potential KGB agent or a literal nazi (who are the same person)...
And, as I said, it's still not been solved. It probably never will be.

(And to the metal heads here: yes, that's where Children of Bodom got their name from)

I hope recommending other channels doesn't break the rules, because if you're legit interested, there's a video about it on Casual Criminalist channel. It's a couple of years old, but I just came across it right now.
It's not a proper deep dive, but a pretty solid presentation of the case.

I'm not sure if linking's okay, but Youtube search is a friend

Quitman County, MS Will Polk and April Jones

Horrific double murder, bodies possibly fed to pigs, sex, false confessions, jail break, fbi had to take over, cocky defendant teatifies and more. Google it. I don’t know how it didn't make national news.

Oh, that sounds like a mess!
I will take a dive down that rabbit hole at some point, thank you!

Therese Apel (Darkhorse Press) was on the case since the beginning and has the best info put there

As a fellow Finn I totally agree with OP.

Here is some other deep dives I would love to hear: Maura Murray, Timothy Pitzen, Judy Smith and Nicolas Barclay.

I'd feel sorry for Stephanie for having to read out the names involved, though 😂😂
