I haven't seen people try this hard to believe a "mystery" is unsolved since the anthrax guy got caught. He repeatedly offers them the evidence they claim they want and they ignore it because it's more fun to believe he's guilty. I love drama as much as the next guy, but I'd stop short of falsely accusing someone of murder for my own entertainment.
This is the problem with most armchair detectives. They don't have even half the info, see police conspiracies around every corner and hold on to beliefs that are long-since disproven.
Typical of these cases: There being one obvious suspect that the police have ruled out for reasons only the police know, but which 50-80% of armchair detectives believes 'has to have done it somehow' anyway, like the proper-owner in the Delphi murders who kind of looks like the picture the victims took, but who authorities have repeatedly said is not the guy.
Hell, unwitnessed accidents probably account for the majority of these 'mysteries'. Someone of diminished capacity due to drugs, a minor car accident or mental instability wanders into the woods, a river or an abandoned building and, because they are upset and not paying attention, fall or become injured and unable to get help. They die, and a mixture of rot, bugs and rats takes care of the body.
Whether or not it was a murder (which I don't think we'll ever know, there's a quote from the sheriff of the neighboring county or someone similar where he says 60-40 he's innocent one day, 40-60 the next and I'm inclined to believe that guy's word over anyone else) the whole thing was handled in the most sketchy way possible. The conduct of the sheriff is insane. He's done everything in his power to ruin the career of the state investigator who was tasked with investigating the case. Everyone involved has made it very clear that there's absolutely no accountability for any of their actions. It's some real 3rd world shit and people are right to talk about it.

Not sure if actual error or that's a part of the quote set.

The victim can't even count, the alleged act of self-sudoku is dubious at best OP.
