I think I would give Jack the Ripper "most notorious unsolved" overall... at least in the English-speaking world.
Still remains to be seen if Nicole and JB will stand the test of time.
I vote no. But who can say?
Two by two, hands of blue. Two by two, hands of blue.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
But who can say?
Some guy with a time machine?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I vote no too.

Where is that guy? Damn!
Hey, have you people seen the Suri Cruise pictures? They're out.

Ann, that's a ferret.
I vote JonBenet. That's the Great Unsolved Crime of our day -- look at the headlines Karr got 10 years later. I suspect she'll go the way of the JtR -- lots of literature, and everybody with a different theory. Unless the real killer confesses.
Hoffa was 30 years ago. He seems to have stood the test of time to some degree, probably because he was well-known when alive. But he falls into the "semi-solved" category. Let's face it, does anyone really believe it wasn't a Mob hit?
Simpson will be a footnote, remembered largely because of O.J.'s celebrity and the complete and utter mess the trial became. Where JonBenet is a whodunit, O.J. is a police procedural -- what should the law have done differently?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Actually, JonBenet was a pretty bad procedural screw-up too.

Fred Pete, I'll be back in 50 years, and I think you'll owe me $5.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Hey, have you people seen the Suri Cruise pictures? They're out.
Haven't seen them yet. What was the big deal on the wait? I'm sure she's a cute baby--her mother's adorable.

Is there any consensus on who was the Lindburg killer?

She has a freakish amount of hair. I suspect a Baby Wig.
