* ''Literature/{{Under Suspicion|Series}}'' features a few Lost Lenores, given the stories revolve around RevisitingTheColdCase.
** Greg is this for main protagonist Laurie. They were HappilyMarried for five years and Laurie always thought they'd be together into their twilight years, only for Greg to be murdered in broad daylight while visiting a playground with their son. Even after Greg's murder is finally solved and his killer is dead, Laurie is understandably still deeply affected by his death; although she develops feelings for Alex Buckley, she's unsure if she's ready to let go of Greg just yet...or ever. His death also affects Laurie professionally; she easily empathises with people who have lost loved ones to violence and are desperate for answers, and she sees ''Under Suspicion'' as a way to help people find those answers and some sense of closure.
** In ''Literature/IveGotYouUnderMySkin'', the murder victim Betsy is the Lenore for her husband Robert, who freely admits he has [[TheMourningAfter never gotten over her death]] and still regards the years they were married as the happiest of his life. He willingly agrees to appear on ''Under Suspicion'', lets the crew film in his home and provides a substantial amount of money to convince Claire, Nina, Alison and Regina to take part, all so he can have a chance at finding out who killed Betsy. Given that Robert has been diagnosed with terminal illness, he knows this is his last opportunity to pin down a culprit. [[spoiler:When he discovers Jane killed Betsy, he personally murders her to avenge his wife]]. Notably, almost everyone else - even including Betsy's daughter Claire - ''don't'' treat her death as a tragedy given what a [[AssholeVictim horrible person she was]].
** In ''Literature/TheCinderellaMurder'', two fellow students were in love with Susan in college and continue to be deeply affected by her death.
*** Despite his poor treatment of her, her then-boyfriend Keith appeared genuinely heartbroken over her murder; he says he regrets the way he treated her and he was so torn up he dropped out of college, then threw himself into his acting career and into making himself a better person, especially via his involvement with Advocates for God. Madison recalls that the day he learned she'd agreed to star in ''Beauty Land'' - the movie Susan intended to audition for prior to her death - Keith turned up at her room drunk and berated her for being willing to work with Frank Parker, the man who "killed my Susan", and permanently broke off their affair. Keith vocally resents that people really think he could've killed Susan and that his reaction was because of a guilty conscience or an attempt to throw off suspicion. [[spoiler:Keith is [[BrokenPedestal pretty upset]] when he learns Advocates for God is one big scam and, worse yet, that Reverend Collins - whom he credited with helping him through his grief over Susan - is a child abuser; he's only too willing to help the police bust Collins and then publicly spill the beans on the church]].
*** Dwight was enamoured with Susan in college and still regards her as [[TheMourningAfter the only woman he ever fell in love with]]. He was never confident enough to tell her of his feelings and she was oblivious despite everyone else finding it obvious, plus she already had a boyfriend (even though he mistreated her). Dwight was devastated when she was murdered and is determined to help uncover who did it, to the point of spying on the production crew and the other participants. [[spoiler:Dwight discovers who the killer is first, but unfortunately this gets him killed too]].
** In ''Literature/TheSleepingBeautyKiller'', Hunter is the Lost Lenore for his fiancee Casey, who is adamant she was [[MiscarriageOfJustice wrongly convicted]] of killing him. She insists that she was deeply in love with him and still mourns him; she says that while part of her motive for appearing on ''Under Suspicion'' is to clear her own name, she also desperately wants to find the person who actually killed Hunter so her fiance can finally have justice.
** In ''Literature/EveryBreathYouTake'', Virginia is this for Ivan, her would-be fiance. Laurie initially thinks he cares more about clearing his name and that he possibly killed Virginia himself, but he insists he genuinely loved Virginia and is still torn up by her death three years later, even if he doesn't always show this openly. [[spoiler:Laurie comes to realise his grief is genuine]]. He often reminisces about Virginia and the life they could've had together, with the situation being worsened by the fact he's suspected of killing her, [[spoiler:wrongly as it turns out]].

*** It's downplayed for Marthona; although she misses Joconan, she doesn’t dwell on his death anymore (it happened decades before the story begins) and she is now happy with Willomar (he'd previously mated Dalanar too, though their mating didn't work out). It's implied that she threw herself into raising their son and leading the Ninth Cave to cope with his death.
