>>509I got some. Let's start with a personal favorite of mine.
The Somosierra Case (1986), part I:
---
>Andres Gomez - a truck driver who made his living delivering corrosive compounds to Madrid - had on this particular day brought his family along for the ride>his wife and their son, Juan Gomez, had never been to Madrid before, and as his delivery was in that part of Spain, he decided to bring them along with him>the truck refueled near the town of Cieza, Murcia; witnesses described them as a normal-looking happy family>they were last seen together at 5:30 am, at an inn, where witnesses once again described the family as pleasant and normal>sometime later, witnesses on the road to Madrid reported seeing a truck (later identified as the truck Gomez was driving) accelerating to speeds of over 140 km/h, stopping suddenly before speeding off again at high speeds>it wasn’t long before the police received a call that a major accident had occurred>the Gomez' truck had collided with another car and overturned in a ditch, resulting in large quantities of sulfuric acid leaking out>authorities rushed to the scene to contain the environmental damage>the bodies of the 2 adults - while badly burned by acid - were found, still identifiable>no other bodies were found, and no one knew that the boy existed until the child's grandparents asked the authorities for the condition of the child upon being told the parents were deadPost too long.

Asha Degree's disappearance:
---
>on the morning of Feb. 15, 2000, the parents of Asha Degree (9), found that she was not in her room, nor anywhere in the house to be found
>Asha Degree shared a room with her brother; however, he did not have any recollection of what happened that night that could give a lead to his sister's fate - he only recalled both him and her had gone to bed at around the same time
>she was last seen by her parents at 2:30 at night, claiming they had seen her asleep before going to bed themselves
>witnesses reported seeing a girl matching Asha Degree's description walking alone on the highway at around 4 in the morning
>3 days later, the girl's hair bow and some of her school supplies were found about 1 mile away from her home
>there were no more clues until a year and a half later, when her book bag (containing books and other items of hers that were not disclosed) was discovered in a toolshed miles in the opposite direction where her previous belongings had been found - wrapped in plastic - about 26 miles away from her home
>also found were a pair of men's khaki pants and the skeletal remains of an animal: they were taken away fro forensic analysis, although the results were never revealed (perhaps nothing notable or relevant?)
>the authorities were never able to establish a list of suspects, and the case was never solved; Asha Degree was never found, but is presumed dead
This case has had a bunch of really odd developments. In 2018, the police disclosed some of the contents that had been found in her bag: a Dr. Seuss book, and a New Kids on the Block shirt(size not revealed). The police claimed information about these items is "crucial" to the case, and appealed for any public information regarding them.
This is only a Reddit rumor, but I recall seeing someone state that the toolshed where she was found had previously been at a once-popular swim-hole (that had dried up a long time ago). I just thought it was odd that the Seuss book found in her backpack was named 'McElligots' Pool'.
