Cases where it's obvious who did it, but they just can't 'prove' it?

I would definitely say the case about Terrance Williams and Felipe Santos. Both men disappeared within a few months of each other and Deputy Calkins was the last person to see either of them. He also lied about having contact with Terrance on dispatch, but witnesses saw them together. The officer also said he dropped both men off at Circle-K, which is just too much of a coincidence. He's still the prime suspect, but they just don't have enough evidence to nail him. It's frustrating.

The case of Patty Vaughan, at least as presented by Disappeared, points strongly to her estranged husband Jerry Ray "JR" Vaughan. The family indicates there was domestic abuse according to reports on the internet. The show mentions possible blood &/or bleach cleaner in the home and her vehicle.

I wonder what the 3 children think about the case (their names are Brittany Jayne Vaughan Bohannon, Ray Vaughan, & Andrew Tyler Vaughan). They were raised by their father after their mother's disappearance and were moved to various states, not having contact with their mother's family. They were in the home the night their mother went missing, but were never allowed to be interviewed by the police.

Definitely "Crime and Punishment". The deputy in this case is full of sh!t. He's a criminal with a badge and a gun, and he probably used both in the case of Terrance Williams, in a secluded area, away from the police car, to avoid evidence being found. I wonder if that was ever suspected. I mean come on, law enforcement can be just as foul as your average criminal. There are people who join the system just to beat it, and that's already evident enough, in the disappearance of Terrance Williams. Who knows what was done to him or the other guy, who was suspected of disappearing because of the same deputy. Chances are, both cases were done the same, and I really hope there was enough consideration from law enforcement, as to what a fellow member could've possibly done to cover his tracks.

I only started watching disappeared but this case is so frustrating and I believe finance hindered this investigation. The case was sloppy and the female lead detective was pathetic , her family did more and said the right things yet dealing with this case when her fiance was still in the country they could have had him even on suspicion. Theory, they dropped the ball.

DODGE THIS!!!!!

The episode with the young mother in Florida, Lucely 'Lilly' Arambaro (think that was her last name.) Anyways, it's so obvious it was that loser boyfriend of hers. They just don't have any evidence, no body, nothing to prove it. The guy is a thug loser and it's scary to think this young woman moved her baby in with this monster. Then she goes off to a crack house, and allows drug parties at her house. I'm not judging this woman, I didn't know her, but from what we saw, it's pretty obvious, loser changes his story too many times. It's really sad the mother couldn't do more for her daughter until after she went missing. A hunger strike will not bring your daughter back unfortunately, and it didn't help in solving the case. This young woman took a wrong turn in life and it's sad her son is growing up without her.

Knock if off Napolean make yourself a dang quesadil-la!

As well as the ones mentioned so far, the Bethany Decker case is maddening. Very obvious the boyfriend Ronald almost certainly had something to do with it. Violent and controlling and the last time anyone other than him saw her was when she was in a hurry to get back home to him before "things got bad" It drives me crazy seeing these people not being pursued as much as they should be!

Suzy Lyall - all clues point to the creepy, possessive ex boyfriend. It's been 18 years, but the police should re-question him.
