As far as well known cases go, I would have to say the Zodiac murders.
Locally, here in Indianapolis, there is an old case that was always talked about when I was growing up. Four fast food employees were abducted and murdered in 1978 and the case remains unsolved. The bodies were found about 10 minutes from my childhood home.
I've heard of the Burger Chef murders. I have always found cases where 2+ victims went missing or were murdered very interested because you always assume that you're safer in groups. Some examples of those types of cases are:

Didn't they recently (like in the last year or two?) find some shoes or a sole of a shoe on an island where she likely crashed? Anyone remember this?
They found something (I forget what) and some bones, but they also thought they might be giant turtle bones. I don't know what the results of the testing were. I'll see if I can find anything.
JFK was assassinated by a nutjob named Lee Harvey Oswald. Not space aliens. Not Elvis. Not Bigfoot. Not a mysterious second gunman. Not the CIA/Mafia/military industrial complex/Martians/Lyndon Johnsohn/George W. Bush/Obama/Illuminati/Mormons together acting in a vast conspiracy.
Amelia Earhart crashed and sunk into the Pacific. One among the thousands upon thousands and thousands of human beings who have disappeared at sea since time immemorial.
I really don't think any "true crime" happened here.
I guess these might not be so much unsolved but they totally haunt me. The case of Zahra Baker is just so upsetting to me- all cases are horrible but this one just pulls at me from time to time and I can just start to cry over and over about it. That poor kid had no relief and no protector.
And the other recent case is of that idiot who starved his dog and left him to die on the snowy street. (the idiot is being charged so that is better but how coudl someone do that? It's not like it was an instant of bad judgement- it was so reversible).More charges filed in Oshkosh dog cruelty case - National Pet Rescue | Examiner.com
I hadn't heard about those - thanks for the links. Being from Indianapolis, do you remember the Sylvia Likens case, or was it before your time?
I wasn't born yet but I have read and heard about it. It still comes up around here from time to time. The Baniszewski house where she was killed was recently torn down. Very, very sad story.
Here is another local case. A mother and her son were murdered a few years ago in a town called Franklin. It is about 25 minutes from Indy and is not known for crime like this. It has baffled a lot of people.

Poor little Adji Desir everytime I see his picture or think about what probably happened to that sweet looking little guy I could cry.
