I've always had an interest in unsolved mysteries. An armchair sleuth, or a desire to be puzzled, or simply being puzzled by the scant information provided, designed to titillate, prevaricate, confuse...
Searches, recently - Tania Murrell, disappeared - but, really, they know who did it. Rumours tie the now dead suspect to the Kevin Reimer case in Elk Island.
And this was followed by my childhood - the Moose Jaw Murder that shocked the town - Schepens was acquitted for it, largely due to police incompetence.
This thread on Reddit - Murders and disappearances in which the perpetrator is clearly known, yet not enough evidence has been collected to bring them to trial:
- Disappearances of Terrance Williams and Felipe Santos
- Disappearance of Susan Powell
- Disappearance of Patricia Adkins
- Disappearance of Natalee Holloway
- Police Seargeant Drew Peterson
- Cleveland Torso Murderer
- The Doodler
- Disappearance of Lauren Spierer
- Disappearance of Rebecca Coriam
- Dupont de Ligonnès murders and disappearance
There are countless more, and those people who committed the offenses are free and among us. More than a few in Calgary.
The details of many of these are maddening - the Williams/Santos & Adkins one especially - no doubt as to who is the perpetrator, but never any charges. Not surprisingly, the police are well represented in the above list - and not always as the investigators.
And, finally not to leave you completely in the dark, the cautionary tale of Ken McElroy: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ken_McElroy. Which confirms the notion that if you want justice, you very often have to do it yourself.

I'm at an antique store, looking around, I haven't been for a while...*(haven't been ever)
They've some sort of antique roller coaster, with loops and twists, small but high, bright and red, only $700...I should buy this, it would be great...
...and talking to the dealers, the owners, they lay aside certain days and designate themselves part of the City or Country and do exhibitions, not for money, ...
The owner, she's complaining, she just bought a train set and hasn't had a chance to set it all up and get it working so she's going to put up the sign that they're part of Canada and lay aside a day to do it...
People coming, people going, I'm recognizing old dealers...
Little G***, and she's got a couple of parcels assembled she wants to pick up, take, and the owner wants to be paid, and she's getting annoyed, I just pay for it but it doesn't seem to appease her...
Now, trying to leave, but I can't find my boots, one only, and lots that are similar, and I'm sorting through them trying to find the match to my boot, they're everywhere, in the entryway, in the back, I'm having no luck but I'm not going anywhere until I find my other boot...
In the back there's a corner, and I recognize an old puppeteer, he's getting ready to put on a show - the "Something something" puppet show, he's complaining about the owner, he's cheap, from England, and he's setting up a donation jar so he can get some tips and I'm wishing him the best...
And it's back to looking for my other boot...

A couple of good looking books, unfortunately on Silent Auction or I might have bought. My reading's been a little dry lately...
