"El caso sigue dándonos vueltas en la cabeza, ya que sigue sin resolverse".

Maybe a literal translation could be "dar vueltas a algo":

Seguimos dándole vueltas al asunto, porque todavía no está resuelto.

Por más que sigo dándole vueltas en la cabeza al asunto, no encuentro la solución.

I don't know an idiomatic way to say this, but a case "hanging over your head" is a "pending" case, so you could say:

El caso está aún pendiente.

"Over our heads" indicates something of a personal feeling, so I would say "El caso aún nos queda no resuelto."
