Thoughts? I am placing this case in the Unsolved on tv section since or was aired on Unsolved Mysteries, although the focus on the show seemed to be on the rumors the Harden house is/was haunted. I'm not sure if the Harden murder itself is still being actively investigated but I guess calling your local Crime Stoppers or police line or contacting the Unsolved Mysteries website if you somehow have information couldn't hurt.
