Please read WP:BLP and WP:CRIME before adding to this short list.

  • Sandra Anderson, forensic dog handler convicted of forgery[4][5][6][7]
  • Frank Bourassa, Canadian counterfeiter[8][9][10]
  • Kidnapping of Elizabeth Thomas, 2017 kidnapping of a Tennessee high school student who was kidnapped by her teacher Tad Cummins[11][12][13][14]
  • Operation Fountain Pen - 1970s FBI investigation into various confidence scams that seems to deserve more coverage. According to the LA Times, Operation Fountain Pen resulted in "the conviction of dozens of con men across the country" and "spawned" the Abscam investigation.[15][16][17] Related possible new article subjects could include FBI agent James J. Wedick Jr. (J. J. Wedick) and convicted con artist Phil Kitzer, both of whom were involved in multiple other cases that received considerable attention in the news as detailed in these sources.
  • Raines Tree Farm - multimillion dollar inheritance scam involving psychic Rachel Lee and her daughter Portia Lee scamming Oregon tree farm heir Ralph Raines Jr.[18]
  • Remembrance Day Shootings[19][20][21][22][23]
  • Rosalynn McGinnis and Henri Michele Piette - Rosalynn was kidnapped by Henri, her stepfather, in 1997 at age 12. She escaped 19 years later with 8 of the 9 children he fathered on her. The story was reported by People magazine, The Guardian, The New York Post, and many others.

Victims

Template:Div col

  • Tiffiany Beverly - African American teenager; disappeared May 27, 1997. Her remains were later discovered in a field near her home. Her stepfather, Oscar "JR" Patterson III, was convicted of molesting and murdering her. His conviction was later overturned, but a second jury found him guilty again, and he was sentenced to life in prison. (Tulsa World; News on 6; News on 6)
  • Rhonda Casto - 23-year-old model who passed away after falling off a cliff. It is widely believed that her boyfriend, Steven Nichols, had a hand in her death, as tests showed that only a hard push could've lead to the outcome ([12], around 22:30). Additionally, Nichols had taken a large life insurance policy out on Casto only a year before ([13] [14]), and had been sleeping with Casto's 16-year-old sister when he was 34 ([15]).
  • Surette Clark - Four-year-old girl who was murdered in 1970, not found for almost a decade, and not identified for another 30 years. It took so long to identify her because her father killed her, and nobody reported her missing until 1994. She is about as notable as Atcel Olmedo and Anjelica Castillo.[29]
  • Carolyn Coffey - Graduate student at Cornell University in Upstate New York who was murdered by her husband, Błażej Kot, who was also a graduate student there, in June 2009. [16]
  • Bethany Correira - see Bootleggers Cove, Anchorage
  • David Adolpho Gizzarelli - The city of San Francisco smeared David Gizzarelli and possibly killed his 16 month old American Staffordshire Terrier when David ran his puppy in an off leash area for dogs and a Park Police officer rode his lame thoroughbred racehorse into the off leash area for dogs. The fact that the police horse was lame, that the police officer did not shoot the dog, and the fact that horses are never seen in Crissy Field lend to the speculation that this was a cover up and an attempted murder. [17]; [18]; [19]; [20]; [21]; [22]; [23]; [24]
  • Deonte Hicks - Texas man killed by an online catfish ABC 13
  • Donna Jones - Deseret
  • April Kauffman, radio host murdered on the orders of her husband Dr James Kauffman[30][31]
  • Zanele Khumalo - black South African models who was murdered by her boyfriend[32] - considered to be a victim of missing white woman syndrome, as her death was overshadowed by that of Reeva Steenkamp
  • Oakey "Al" Kite - victim of unsolved 2004 murder
  • Ramon Timothy Lopez - held by force by a policeman on the ground for six minutes, after which he received burns from the hot asphalt, shortly after which he died - see List of killings by law enforcement officers in the United States, August 2020
  • Kevin Martin - 13-year-old boy who disappeared in 1994 in Stellarton, Nova Scotia. His body was found six years later, but his killer has yet to be found. (CTV News Atlantic)
  • Jaime Melgar - Stabbed to death in Texas home. His wife was tied up in a closet, but was convicted of the murder. (ABC News Go, Chron, People)
  • Dylan Redwine - In 2012, 13-year-old Dylan Redwine was declared missing by his father, Mark Redwine, who refused to cooperate with any investigation. A year later, some of Dylan's remains were found in an area Mark frequented on his ATV. Dylan's skull was found two years after the rest of his remains, a half mile away, with evidence of blunt force trauma. [25] [26]
  • Jared Scheierl - abducted by Danny Heinrich - see Murder of Jacob Wetterling
  • Template:Icon Stephanie Scott - Australian teacher who was brutally raped and murdered in the town of Leeton, New South Wales, on 5 April 2015. Received nationwide attention due to the tragic circumstances, as she was murdered 6 days out from her wedding, and the perpetrator, Vincent Stanford, had no hatred towards her, citing that he just 'wanted to kill'. Sentenced on 13 October 2016 to life imprisonment with no parole, plus 15 years for aggravated sexual assault. I feel due to the tragic circumstances of the event, the media coverage it has received and the enigmatic persona of the killer, an article on the case is appropriate. Semi-complete info boxes can be found in my sandbox. [27]; [28]; [29]
  • Disappearance of Joseph Spisak - 11-year-old boy who disappeared after his newspaper route on January 27, 1974, in Hammond, Indiana. He had only $5 in his pocket and may have been spotted on nearby railroad tracks on the day of his disappearance, but nobody has found any trace of him since. As of 2019, his family is still devastated by his mysterious disappearance, as reported in two recent newspaper articles. [30] [31]
  • Michael Connor Verkerke - 9-year-old boy who was stabbed to death by an unnamed 12-year-old [32]
  • Nicole Waterhouse - murdered by Jeremy Peter Andrew Green in York (BBC)
  • Victoria Carmen White - African-American trans woman who was murdered on September 12, 2010, by Alrashim Chambers (Advocate, CBS Local New York, NJ)
  • Template:Ill - see Megumi Yokota
  • Tan Youhui hired hitman case (zh:覃佑輝雇兇殺人案) - METRO

Organizations

Template:Div col

  • Law Foundation of Ontario - an organization created by an amendment to the Law Society Act in 1974. Its purpose is to receive the interest earned on lawyers' mixed trust accounts and to use it to support legal education, legal aid, legal research and law libraries. By law, the foundation gives 75% of the revenue from these mixed trust accounts after operating expenses to Legal Aid Ontario and 25% to grants with the purpose to improve access to justice.
  • Lawyers Constitutional Defense Committee - an organization of civil rights and pro bono attorneys instrumental in securing rights for minorities, particularly in MS. And LA during and after the Freedom Summer. LCDC was a key organization for constitutional rights in the deep South. People who can add more information include attorneys Stanley A. Halpin of the Southern University Law School (Baton Rouge) and George Strickler of the Tulane University School of Law. LCDC is referenced in several existing articles (e.g., Lawyers Committee for Civil Rights Under Law).
  • Template:Supreme Courts of Europe In the UK for instance, there are at least 2 other de facto Supreme Courts alongside and in addition to the actual UK Supreme Court (the High Court of Justiciary of the Supreme Courts of Scotland and the Judiciary Committee of the Privy Council; if you don't also count the Houses of Parliament!) In France, there are 4 (technically all de facto) Supreme Courts. The present ad hoc template is just simply not fit for purpose. We need a proper, actual dedicated template.
