List of unsolved murders (20th century)

This list of unsolved murders includes notable cases in which victims have officially been found to have been intentionally killed by others, but no one has been successfully prosecuted for the crimes.

Main article: Lists of unsolved murders

1901–1924
  • Bertha Shippan (13), resided in the South Australian town of Towitta and was murdered on the night of January 1, 1902.[1] Her 25-year-old sister Mary Schippan was prosecuted for the crime, but was acquitted.[2] Despite various theories, the case remains unsolved.
Rose Harsent, victim of the Peasenhall murder
  • Rose Harsent, a six-months-pregnant maid who was stabbed to death on June 1, 1902, in Suffolk, England by an unknown assailant. At the time it was alleged that the murderer was a preacher of the Primitive Methodist Chapel named William Gardiner, who was having an affair with the victim. Gardiner was tried twice for the murder but each time the jury failed to reach a verdict.[3][4] The case has been investigated in BBC One's Julian Fellowes Investigates.[5]
  • Al Swearengen (59), operator of the Gem Theater brothel in Deadwood, South Dakota, was found dead in a Denver street of a massive wound to his head on November 15, 1904.[6] No suspects were named.
  • The 20th Century Limited derailment was an incident that happened on June 21, 1905,[7] on the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern Railway line, that killed 21 passengers, and who was behind this remains unknown.
  • John Otunba Payne (66–67), was a Nigerian sheriff; administrator and diarist who was a prominent personality in Lagos during the nineteenth century. He was a Chief Registrar of the Supreme Court of Lagos and he also served as a registrar in various colonial departments such as the Police Court, the Chief Magistrate's Court, the Court of Civil and Criminal Justice and the Petty Debt court.[8] Payne was murdered in his residence in Lagos by an unknown assailant in 1906.[9] His murder was never solved.
  • The dismembered corpse of 9-year-old Jeanne Van Calck was found in a package stored in front of 22 Rue des Hirondelles in Brussels, Belgium on February 7, 1906. She had gone missing the previous day, after leaving her grandparents' house. Despite public unrest, the lousy and flawed investigation from the police failed to solve her killing, and she is now remembered as a martyr for childhood innocence.[10]
  • Marinos Antypas (34–35), was a Greek lawyer and journalist, and one of the country's first socialists. Antypas was murdered on March 8, 1907, by unknown persons who were hired to kill him.[11] His killer was never brought to justice and the crime was never solved.
  • Pat Garrett (57), an American Old West lawman, bartender and customs agent and was well known for killing Billy the Kid was himself murdered on February 29, 1908. His murder remains largely unsolved.[12][13]
  • Two people were found dead, being killed in a shootout with the Bolivian police on November 7–8, 1908. Authorities were unable to identify the bodies, but they were thought to have been Robert Leroy Parker (40), aka Butch Cassidy and Harry Alonzo Longabaugh (41–42), (aka The Sundance Kid).[14] The identities of the bodies remain unknown.
  • The Guangxu Emperor (37), personal name "Zaitian", was the 11th Emperor of the Qing dynasty, and the ninth Qing emperor to rule over China proper. He died on November 14, 1908.[15] He is known to have been poisoned, and one theory is that the Guangxu Emperor was poisoned by Yuan Shikai, who knew that if the emperor were to come to power again, Yuan would likely be executed for treason.[16] There were no reliable sources to prove who poisoned the Guangxu Emperor.
Elsie Sigel. Murdered June 1909
  • Elsie Sigel (20), was found strangled inside a trunk in an apartment in New York City's Chinatown on June 18, 1909, nine days after she had last been seen.[17] The resident of the apartment, who had been having a love affair with her, was considered the prime suspect, but was never arrested.
  • Elsie Paroubek (5), a daughter of Czech immigrants, is thought to have either wandered away from her home or been kidnapped in Chicago on April 8, 1911.[18] Her disappearance was the subject of intense police investigation over three states, with massive newspaper coverage. Her body was found a month later. Under the name "Annie Aronburg", Elsie became one of the principal characters in Henry Darger's immense novel The Story of the Vivian Girls in the Realms of the Unreal.
  • Joseph Wilson (60), was a stationmaster who was shot dead at Lintz Green railway station in Durham, England on October 7, 1911. His murder sparked one of the largest murder investigations in northeastern England.[19]
  • The Villisca axe murders occurred between the evening of June 9, 1912, and the early morning of June 10, 1912, in the town of Villisca in southwestern Iowa. The six members of the Moore family and two house guests were found bludgeoned in the Moore residence. All eight victims, including four children, had severe head wounds from an axe.[20] A lengthy investigation yielded several suspects, one of whom was tried twice. The first trial ended in a hung jury and the second ended in an acquittal. The crime remains unsolved.
  • Daisy Grace was accused in 1912 of drugging her husband, Eugene H. Grace, and then shooting him for his insurance money in Atlanta, Georgia.[21] She was tried and found not guilty.[22]
  • Mary Phagan (13), was found strangled and raped early on April 27, 1913, at the Atlanta pencil factory where she worked.[23] Suspicion eventually fell on Leo Frank, manager of the factory, who was convicted of the murder later that year. When his death sentence was commuted to life in 1915, Frank was abducted from prison and lynched. Historians have come to believe he was wrongly convicted, and in 1986 he was pardoned. It is believed that a janitor who testified against Frank and served a year in prison as an accessory after the fact was the real killer.
  • Lukijan Bogdanović (46), was the last Serbian Patriarch of the Patriarchate of Karlovci and Metropolitanate of Karlovci on September 1, 1913. He was assassinated and decapitated while walking alone along a river bank in Bad Gastein by persons unknown.[24]
  • Charles Budd Robinson (32), a Canadian botanist and explorer whose death on December 5, 1913, may have been caused by linguistic confusion, as he was known to speak the local language quite poorly. The Malay word for coconut, "kelapa" may have been confused with "kepala", the word for "head". If Robinson asked the boy to cut, "potong", down a coconut it may have been mispronounced and heard as a threat to cut off someone's head. There was a local myth of a werewolf-like decapitator called a "potong kepala" and he was mistaken for one.[25]
  • Billy Stone (21) was a telegraph operator who was shot and killed at the Whitby Junction Station in Whitby, Ontario on December 11, 1914, and his murder remains unsolved.[26]
  • Chinese journalist Huang Yuanyong (30), was shot and killed in San Francisco on December 25, 1915.[27] No arrests were made. Most theories about the responsible parties suggest that it was a political assassination, since Huang had increasingly been in conflict with the government of the newly established Republic of China after initially supporting it.
  • Joseph Henry Loveless was an American bootlegger and accused murderer who was killed by unknown means, dismembered, and hidden in a pair of burlap sacks in Buffalo Cave near Dubois, Idaho. It is believed that he was killed sometime during 1916 due to a wanted poster being posted on May 18, 1916, detailing clothing that he had escaped from prison in, which his body was later found in. His body was not discovered until 1979, by a family in the cave, where his headless torso was discovered. In 1991, a girl found the hand of Loveless, which prompted an excavation that uncovered both legs and arms. Loveless was considered a John Doe until the DNA Doe Project took on the case in 2019. He was identified on November 12, 2019, and his identity was announced on December 31, 2019. The post-mortem interval of the body was initially believed to be around 5 years, due to optimal conditions in the cave. The case is considered to be the oldest solved through forensic genealogy. The case is also still considered open by the Clark County Sherriff's office.[28][29][30]
  • Grigori Rasputin (47), was a Russian mystic and had claimed to be a holy man and had gained major influence in late imperial Russia. Rasputin was murdered on December 17, 1916,[31] and it remains unknown who was behind this.
  • John Bamford was considered the prime suspect in the 1917 Wonnangatta murders in East Gippsland, Victoria, Australia;[32] however, his body was found early the following year. The cause of death was a gunshot wound to the head. Several theories have been advanced, but no suspects have been identified. In the late 1970s, victim Jim Barclay's son, who later worked for a mutual friend of the two who had been an early suspect, made a statement suggesting he knew who the murderers were as well, but declining to identify them.
  • Vladimir Bogoyavlensky (70), was a bishop of the Russian Orthodox Church. He was appointed the position of Metropolitan of Moscow and Kolomna between 1898 and 1912, Metropolitan of St. Petersburg and Ladoga between 1912 and 1915, and Metropolitan of Kiev and Gallich between 1915 and 1918. Bogoyavlensky was murdered by Bolshevik soldiers on February 7, 1918,[33][34] and the case has never been solved.
  • No suspects were identified in the November 24, 1917 Milwaukee Police Department bombing, which killed nine officers and two civilian employees,[35] after a citizen brought the bomb found in the basement of a local church to the local police station. Italian anarchists of the Galleanist faction were believed to have placed the bomb.
  • Nikolay Vtorov (52), was a Russian industrialist. According to a 2006 Forbes study, which excluded the ruling House of Romanov, he held the title of Russia's wealthiest man on the eve of World War I,[36] Vtorov decided to stay in Russia after the 1917 Revolution and pledged loyalty to the Bolshevik regime. Less than a year later, in May 1918, he was assassinated;[37] the exact circumstances of his death remain unknown.
  • De La Haye, principal of the Newington House school in Madras, India, was shot dead in his bed at the school on March 15, 1919.[38] One defendant was acquitted after a highly publicized trial; no others have been identified.
  • James Colosimo (42), a gangster who led a precursor to the Chicago Outfit, was shot and killed at his café on May 11, 1920.[39] No one was charged with the killing; it is believed that Al Capone, then one of Colosimo's henchmen, was involved.
  • Joseph Bowne Elwell (46), a bridge player, was shot and killed inside his locked house on June 11, 1920. One clearly false confession the next year was discarded, and no other suspects were identified. The intense media interest in the case inspired the development of the locked-room murder subgenre of detective fiction.[40]
  • Italian anarchists were suspected in the Wall Street bombing of September 16, 1920,[41] which killed 38, making it the deadliest terrorist act in the U.S. history at that point. Despite a number of arrests, no one was charged. One likely suspect, who was never arrested, fled to Italy shortly afterwards and never returned to the U.S.
  • Torokul Dzhanuzakov (28), the deputy chairman of the Central Executive Committee of the Turkestan Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic, of the Commission for Refugees in 1916 and a Soviet politician was killed by Cheka authorities whose identities were unknown in 1921.[42]
  • Chrissie Venn (13), was a girl who was murdered on or around February 21, 1921, near the township of North Motton, near Ulverstone, Tasmania;[43] her body was found in a hollow tree. George William King, who claimed the incriminating marks on his hands were from injuries sustained during the three-day search for Venn, was acquitted after a trial which was the first change of venue granted in Tasmania. No other suspects were named.
Sketch of the corpse of Little Lord Fauntleroy, unidentified since his discovery in 1921
  • "Little Lord Fauntleroy", an unidentified boy who was murdered in late 1920 or early 1921, was found on March 8, 1921. He was killed by a blow to the head and drowning after being dropped into a quarry in Waukesha, Wisconsin, United States.[44]
  • Anthony D'Andrea (48), an early Chicago Mafia boss, was shot and killed while entering his apartment on May 11, 1921,[45] near the end of the city's aldermen's wars. No one was charged or named as a suspect.
  • Professional golfer James Douglas Edgar (36), whose book The Gate to Golf changed the sport considerably, died shortly after he was found on an Atlanta street late at night on August 8, 1921, with a leg wound.[46] Reports that this was the consequence of his involvement in a love triangle have never led to any suspects being identified.
  • William Desmond Taylor (49), a popular Irish-born American actor and director of silent movies, was killed by a shot in the back on February 1, 1922, inside his bungalow. His murder, along with other Hollywood scandals, such as the Roscoe Arbuckle trial for his alleged murder of Virginia Rappe, led to a frenzy of sensational and often fabricated newspaper reports, and a deathbed confession of dubious veracity. The murder remains an official cold case.[47]
  • The Hinterkaifeck murders occurred at a small farmstead named Hinterkaifeck, between the Bavarian towns of Ingolstadt and Schrobenhausen (approximately 70 km (43 mi) north of Munich). It was the scene of one of the strangest and most notorious unsolved murder cases in German history. On the evening of March 31, 1922, all six inhabitants of the farm were killed with a pickaxe.[48] Although some suspects were identified, the circumstances remain unclear and no one was charged. The case has inspired many books, films and other works of art, fictional and non-fictional.
  • Michael Collins (31), who was commander-in-chief of the Irish Army was shot and killed by an unknown assailant at Béal na Bláth in County Cork, Ireland on August 22, 1922.[49] The murder remains unsolved.
  • Edward Hall and Eleanor Mills, both of New Brunswick, New Jersey, were found dead of gunshot wounds in a field in nearby Franklin Township on September 16, 1922.[50] Hall, an Episcopal priest, had apparently been having an extramarital affair with Mills, who sang in the church choir. His wife and her brothers were charged with the crime. After one of the first trials to attract heavy media interest, they were acquitted of all charges. No other suspects were identified.
  • The plane crash that killed early aviator B. H. DeLay (31), a pioneering stunt pilot, on July 4, 1923, in Venice, California, was found to have been the result of sabotage to the aircraft. No one was formally charged or identified as a suspect.[51][52][53]
  • Pancho Villa (45), was a Mexican revolutionary general and one of the most prominent figures of the Mexican Revolution. On July 20, 1923, Villa was killed while visiting Hidalgo del Parral.[54] The murder remains unsolved.
  • The Lava Lake murders occurred in January 1924 near Little Lava Lake in Central Oregon. The victims were Edward Nickols, 50, Roy Wilson (35), and Dewey Morris (25). The three were working as fur trappers and staying in a private cabin while trapping animals over the winter. Their bodies were discovered in April 1924 in Big Lava Lake, where they had been placed under the ice sometime shortly after Christmas 1923. The men had been bludgeoned with a claw hammer and shot to death.[55]
  • Father Hubert Dahme, a popular local Catholic priest, was shot dead at an intersection in Bridgeport, Connecticut, on February 4, 1924. A local vagrant, Harold Israel, was arrested and charged with the crime.[56] But at the trial, prosecutor Homer Stille Cummings, later U.S. Attorney General, not only dropped the case, but discredited the evidence the city's police department had collected against Israel. No other suspects have been named; 30 years later, a witness to the killing said it was not Israel, but refused to identify the real killer out of fear for his life.
  • Janet Smith (22), a Scottish nursemaid, was found dead of a gunshot wound to the temple in a home in an exclusive neighborhood of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, on July 26, 1924.[57] Although she was initially labeled a suicide (despite much evidence to the contrary), her friends were able to get the case reopened and deemed a murder. The initial suspect, Chinese houseboy Wong Foon Sing, was kidnapped and tortured for weeks in an unsuccessful attempt to extract a confession, causing a major scandal when it was discovered that various police officials and respected members of society were directly involved. Wong was eventually tried and acquitted for lack of evidence. A law was proposed, banning the employment of Asians and white women in the same household, but failed to pass.
  • Responsibility for the October 29, 1924, bombing of a Canadian Pacific train in British Columbia that killed Russian émigré Peter Verigin (65), leader of the pacifist Doukhobors, along with seven others including a member of the provincial legislature.[58] Government investigators believed the culprits were Verigin's rivals among the Doukhobors, while the remaining members of the sect accused the government of committing the crime. No suspects have been officially named.

1925–1949
  • The killing of Lizzie O'Neill in Dublin was the June 1925 shooting of a sex worker who was also known as Honour Bright. Two suspects were brought to trial, but were acquitted.[59]
  • Arthur Schumacher (8), was a boy from Wauwatosa, Wisconsin who went missing on July 24, 1925 and was found dead three weeks later after he had been murdered. His murder remains unsolved.[60][61]
  • The Milaflores Massacre: Three Detroit gangsters were shot down in the Milaflores Apartments on March 28, 1927. The killings are widely believed to have been a revenge attack by members of The Purple Gang; two members were arrested the next day, but were never charged and the case remains unsolved.[62]
  • A headless woman was found who was thought to have been Norwegian-American serial killer[63] and disappeared fugitive Belle Gunness (48), who was thought to have died on April 28, 1908.[64] This was never proven to be true and the woman's identity and murder remains unsolved.
  • Hyman Goldstein (57–58), Australian politician who was mysteriously murdered on September 3, 1928, in Australia.[65] It is believed that Federal Nationalist MP Thomas Ley played a part in his death, but this has never been proven, so the case remains unsolved.
  • Morduch Halsman, a Latvian Jewish dentist, was hiking with his son Philippe in Austria's Tyrol on September 10, 1928, when he slipped and fell down a ravine. He survived the fall, but when Philippe returned with assistance, he had been beaten to death and robbed. Philippe was convicted of manslaughter and sentenced to four years in prison in a trial marked by the antisemitism prevalent in Austria at the time. After prominent Jews of the time, including Albert Einstein and Sigmund Freud drew attention to the case, Halsmann was pardoned and emigrated to France to begin his career as a photographer.[66] No other suspect in his father's murder has been identified.
  • Jewish gangster Arnold Rothstein (46), an avid gambler best remembered for his alleged role fixing the 1919 World Series, died on November 6, 1928, of gunshot wounds, inflicted the day before during a New York City business meeting.[67] He refused to identify his killer to the police. A fellow gambler who was believed to have ordered the hit as retaliation for Rothstein's failure to pay a large debt from a recent poker game (Rothstein in turn claimed it had been fixed) was tried and acquitted. No other suspects have emerged.
  • Seider Meyer, the head of the protection of the Peregonovsky sugar factory in 1922–1925, was known for shooting Soviet military figure Grigory Kotovsky on August 6, 1925. In 1930 it became known that Meyer Seider was killed in Kharkov, not far from the local railway station. His corpse was found on the canvas of the railway. It is likely that, strangling him, the murderers threw Zayder on the rails in the hope of imitating the accident, but the train was late, and their plan failed.[68] His killers are unknown.
  • The Saint Valentine's Day Massacre occurred on February 14, 1929, when seven members and associates of the North Side Gang were lined up against a wall and shot by four men in police uniform. No one was charged, but notorious gangster Al Capone is believed by many to have ordered the killing.[69]
  • Onni Happonen (32), was a Finnish politician who kidnapped and murdered by the fascist Lapua Movement on September 1, 1930.[70] Happonen was later found dead when he was found buried in anthill on side of the Varkaus in July 1932. Happonen's killers are unknown.[71]
  • The Wallace case was the unsolved murder of Liverpool housewife Julia Wallace on January 20, 1931.[72] Her husband, William Herbert Wallace, was convicted and sentenced to be hanged, but the verdict was overturned on appeal[73]—the first such instance in British legal history. The chess-like quality of the puzzle has attracted a host of crime writers. Raymond Chandler said, 'The Wallace case is the nonpareil of all murder mysteries...I call it the impossible murder because Wallace couldn't have done it, and neither could anyone else...The Wallace case is unbeatable; it will always be unbeatable.' In 2018, author Antony Matthew Brown surveyed all the published theories, both evidentially and logically, in his book Move to Murder,[74] before rejecting them all, and concluding that a previously-unpublished theory "is the best explanation for one of the most puzzling murder cases in British criminal history."
  • Harry C. Beasley (42), a Medal of Honor recipient who later became a police officer, died after being shot while confronting robbers on July 2, 1931.[75] No one was identified as a suspect.
  • On September 12, 1931, Arthur Brennan (50), a World War I veteran and early Australian rules football player, was shot and killed while struggling with a burglar he was trying to apprehend on a neighbour's property.[76] After investigating for three months, police announced they could not find a suspect. No arrests were made.
  • The murder of Vera Page (10), occurred on December 14, 1931. Page was a schoolgirl from Notting Hill, London, who was last seen walking towards her home, having visited her aunt to show her new swimming certificates she had been awarded.[77] Her raped and strangled body was found two days later.[78] Despite strong circumstantial evidence linking a local man named Percy Rush to the crime, a jury recorded an open verdict of "Murder by person or persons unknown."[79]
  • Jack "Legs" Diamond (34), an American gangster, was found shot dead in the Albany, New York apartment of his mistress on the morning of December 18, 1931.[80] While he had many enemies among the underworld who wanted him dead, Daniel P. O'Connell, boss of the city's political machine, claimed in an interview with author William Kennedy four decades later that he had ordered the killing after Diamond ignored police warnings to stay out of the city's rackets. The case remains officially unsolved.
  • The von Sydow murders involves Swedish politician Hjalmar von Sydow and two of his employee who were found dead at Sydow's town house at Norr Mälarstrand in Stockholm[81][82][83] on March 7, 1932. The murders remain unsolved.
Vials of blood recovered from Lilly Lindeström's flat. Scene of the 1932 Vampire murder case. On display at Stockholm's Police Museum
  • The Vampire murder case is an unsolved murder relating to an unknown assailant who committed the murder of a sex worker named Lilly Lindeström in Stockholm, Sweden. Lindeström was found dead with a crushed skull in her apartment on May 4, 1932.[84] Police noted that someone had drunk her blood.
  • The body of Erik Jan Hanussen (43), an Austrian Jewish publicist who claimed to have psychic powers and was a confidant of Hitler, was found in a field in Zossen, Germany, outside Berlin in late April 1933,[85] a month after he had last been seen on March 25 in the city. He had been shot execution style, twice, in the back of the head at close range. No one was charged with the crime, but it is believed that it may have been carried out by stormtroopers. Possible motives range from resentment of Hanussen's relationship with Hitler to a desire to keep secret inside information on the Reichstag fire, which Hanussen claimed to have foreseen.
  • Left-wing Zionist leader Haim Arlosoroff was shot and killed late on the night of June 16, 1933,[86] while walking with his wife on the beach of Tel Aviv in what is now Israel but was at the time British Mandate Palestine. Three men belonging to a rival political faction were arrested and tried; all were ultimately acquitted. Theories as to who was really responsible have ranged from the Soviets or Nazis to a failed attempt to rape Arlosoroff's wife.
  • Joan Winters (23), was a Broadway dancer who was murdered in the Garden of Gethsemane, outside Jerusalem, in October 1933.[87] According to a UPI wire report from November 4, 1933, Winters' corpse was discovered together with the body of Mohammed Karamini.[88][89] Her killer is unknown.
  • Sergei Kirov (48), was a prominent Russian revolutionary and a Soviet politician.[90] He was a close, personal friend to Joseph Stalin, and his death in 1934 was used as a pretext to launch the Great Purge.[91] On December 1, 1934, Kirov was shot and killed by a gunman[90] at his offices in the Smolny Institute. There is a widespread belief that Joseph Stalin and elements of the NKVD were behind Kirov's assassination, but evidence for this claim remains lacking,[92][93] so the murder remains unsolved.
  • A man who died of beating injuries and stab wounds on January 5, 1935, after a brief stay in room 1046 at the Hotel President in Kansas City, Missouri, which he had checked into under an assumed name, was not identified as Artemus Ogletree (20), until his mother in Alabama saw a magazine article about the case late the following year. His stay at the hotel was marked by unusual behavior and occurrences and the motive for the killing was unknown; some later anonymous callers to a newspaper and funeral home suggested it had been a revenge killing for cheating on his fiancée. The case remains open.[94]
  • Welsh journalist Gareth Jones (29), was killed by bandits who had been holding him for ransom near what is now Zhangjiakou, China, on April 12, 1935. A fellow journalist with him had been released two weeks earlier, ostensibly to collect the money demanded. Since Jones had two years before been banned from the Soviet Union for life after being the first journalist to report on the 1932–33 Ukrainian famine, it has been believed that the Soviet NKVD had him killed in retaliation, as some of those connected to the kidnapping were its agents. No suspects have been identified.[95]
  • The Shark Arm case refers to a series of incidents that began in Sydney, on April 25, 1935, when a human arm was regurgitated by a captive 3.5-metre tiger shark. The tiger shark had been caught from the beach suburb of Coogee in mid-April and transferred to the Coogee Aquarium Baths, where it was put on public display. Within a week the fish became ill and vomited in front of a small crowd, leaving the left forearm of a man bearing a distinctive tattoo floating in the pool. Before it was captured, the tiger shark had devoured a smaller shark. It was this smaller shark that had originally swallowed the human arm that belonged to a man named James Smith who was last seen drinking and playing cards with a man named Patrick Brady at the Cecil Hotel in the southern Sydney suburb of Cronulla on April 7, 1935 after telling his wife he was going fishing.[96] On June 12, 1935, a man Reginald Holmes who was investigating Smith's murder thinking that he was fed to the shark by Brady was found dead in his car in Dawes Point after being shot.[97] The police charged Brady with his murder although he was later found not guilty and acquitted.[98] Whether or not Smith was killed and fed to the shark also remains unknown.
  • Louis Amberg (27–28), was an American mobster who was murdered on September 30, 1935. Less than a month later, Amberg's body was found the back seat of a flaming car early in the morning of October 23, 1935, across from 131 North Elliot Place, Brooklyn. He had been stripped of his clothes, a sack placed over his head with his hands tied with wire. A witness who first spotted the flames saw several men running away from the scene.[99] His murder remains unsolved.
  • American journalist Walter Liggett (49), was shot in Minneapolis, Minnesota, on December 9, 1935,[100] while investigating connections between that state's governor and organized crime.[101] Kid Cann was a suspect, but was acquitted after he provided an alibi.[102][103] No suspects were identified.
  • Federico García Lorca (38) was a Spanish poet, playwright, and theatre director. On August 19, 1936, he was executed by Rebel faction forces at the beginning of the Spanish Civil War.[104][105] His body or bones have never been found, and his killers are unknown.
  • The body of Pamela Werner (19), the only daughter of British China scholar E. T. C. Werner, was found near the Fox Tower in Beijing on the morning of January 8, 1937; she had last been seen alive leaving an ice skating rink nearby the night before. After being killed by several blows to the head, her body had been severely mutilated, with several internal organs removed, among them her heart, by someone with professional skills, and sexually violated. An unusual joint British-Chinese investigation found some possible suspects among the city's foreign community, where she was socially prominent, but was unable to develop any evidence to the point of arrest before the coroner officially concluded that the killers were probably Chinese and closed the case; after the Japanese occupied the city a few months later there would be no further official investigations. E.T.C. Werner funded an unofficial investigation which identified an American dentist as the killer; his conclusion was endorsed by Midnight in Peking, Paul French's 2011 book about the case.[106] However, some of the dentists' descendants have strongly disputed that finding. Other theories of the case suggest Japanese revenge for the death of two army officers allegedly at British hands the summer before, mistaken identity by Blue Shirts intending to kill Helen Foster Snow, or a local serial killer.[107]
  • Russian banker and politician Dimitri Navachine (47), was stabbed to death while walking his dog in Paris' Bois de Boulogne on the morning of January 25, 1937.[108] No suspects have been identified, but theories as to who might be responsible suggest the Soviet NKVD, as while he had initially worked with the communists despite not sharing their ideology he had broken with them under Stalin and was reportedly about to reveal evidence which would have shown that some prominent political prisoners were in fact innocent of the crimes with which they had been charged. Another theory implicates the French fascist organization La Cagoule, which did not like a Jew closely advising the French government on economic matters and supposedly hoped that his death would be blamed on communist operatives, appearing to strengthen La Cagoule's claims of foreign Communists operating in France.
  • On May 16, 1937, Laetitia Toureaux (29), was found fatally stabbed in an empty first-class car on the Paris Métro when it stopped at Porte Dorée.[109] The crime received considerable media attention as not only was it the first homicide on the Métro, Toureaux had boarded the train at the previous station, meaning the crime had to have been committed in just minutes. Further investigation found that she was leading a double life, working a factory job during the day under her own name but then at a dance hall at night under another name, and making frequent if discreet visits to the Italian embassy. Eventually it was revealed that she was a spy, infiltrating La Cagoule, who it is believed may have discovered this and killed her. The onset of World War II two years later put a stop to the investigation before any suspects were identified; it has not been reopened.

  • Margaret Martin (19), of Kingston, Pennsylvania went missing on December 17, 1938, and was found dead in Wyoming County, Pennsylvania, several days later on December 21, 1938. Many suspects were investigated, but nobody was convicted.[111]
  • Pete Panto (28), a labor leader who had fought Mafia control of the International Longshoremen's Association local on the Brooklyn docks who had not been seen since leaving his house on July 14, 1939, was found in a Lyndhurst, New Jersey lime pit in January 1941.[112] No one was arrested in the case; one suspect who was questioned was found dead a month later.
  • Zinaida Reich (45), was a Russian actress and became one of the main stars of the Meyerhold Theatre until it was closed under Joseph Stalin. Reich married poet Sergey Yesenin and had two children with him. After their divorce, she married the director Vsevolod Meyerhold. On July 15, 1939, Meyerhold was arrested by the NKVD, and she was brutally stabbed in her apartment by NKVD agents who staged a robbery[113] Her killers are unknown.
  • Louis B. Allyn (65–66) was an American chemistry professor and influential figure in the pure food movement who was murdered by persons unknown on May 7, 1940.[114][115] His is the only unsolved murder in the history of Westfield, Massachusetts.
  • Stanisław Bułak-Bałachowicz (57), was a notable general, military commander and veteran of World War I, the Russian Civil War, the Estonian War of Independence, the Polish-Bolshevik War and the Invasion of Poland at the start of World War II. On November 28, 1940, he was surrounded with a group of young conspirators in a house in Warsaw's borough of Saska Kępa and arrested by the Germans. According to the most common version, Bułak-Bałachowicz, was shot by Gestapo agents on May 10, 1940, in the Warsaw centre, on the intersection between Francuska and Trzeciego Maja streets.[116] His killers are unknown and the case remains unsolved.
  • On March 24, 1941, Josslyn Hay, 22nd Earl of Erroll (39), was found shot dead behind the wheel of his car at a crossroads in Kenya.[117] Reporting on the murder investigation outraged the British public with its accounts of carousing and partying by Lord Erroll and fellow members of the Happy Valley set while the homefront endured the hardships of World War II. Sir Jock Delves Broughton, another peer in Happy Valley whom Hay might have cuckolded, was acquitted after being tried with a weak case later that year; he committed suicide the following year. No other suspects have been named. The crime has inspired several dramatisations, most notably the 1987 film White Mischief, which have attempted to offer solutions.
  • Carlo Tresca (63), an Italian-American labor leader who led opposition to Fascism, Stalinism and Mafia control of unions, was shot dead at a Manhattan intersection on the night of January 11, 1943. Given the enemies he had made and their propensity for violence, the list of potential suspects was long; however, the investigation was incomplete and no one was officially named. Historians believe the most likely suspect was mobster Carmine Galante, later acting boss of the Bonanno family, seen fleeing the scene, who had likely acted on the orders of a Bonanno underboss and Fascist sympathizer Tresca had threatened to expose.[118]
  • The beaten and partially burnt body of Sir Harry Oakes (68), an American-born British gold-mine owner and philanthropist, was found in his mansion in Nassau, Bahamas on July 8, 1943. His son-in-law, Count Alfred de Marigny, was arrested shortly afterwards based on evidence allegedly uncovered by two Miami police detectives brought in to work the case, who had upset their Bahamanian counterparts by completely taking over the investigation. However, weaknesses in the case led to de Marigny's acquittal; no one else has been tried. The murder became the subject of worldwide press coverage at the time as well as several books, films, and documentaries.[119]
  • Actor David Bacon (29), best known for playing Bob Barton in the Masked Marvel serials of the 1930s, died shortly after crashing his car in Santa Monica, California on September 12, 1943.[120] Afterwards, he was found to have been suffering from a stab wound to the chest;[121][122][123] no suspect has been identified.
  • Willie James Howard (15), an African-American teenager who had been living in Live Oak, Florida who was murdered after he was lynched on January 2, 1944[124] after he had sent Christmas cards to multiple people.
  • Georgette Bauerdorf (20), an heiress who was found face down in a bathtub in her home at West Hollywood, California, on October 12, 1944. She had been strangled with a piece of towel stuffed down her throat, and although there was a large roll of $2 bills and thousands of dollars' worth of sterling silver lying in an open trunk, Bauerdorf's jewelry and other valuables were not stolen. The police believe her murderer had unscrewed an automatic night light over the outside entrance of the apartment so it would not come on and lain in wait for her.[125]
  • Tamil film critic C.N. Lakshmikanthan was stabbed while riding back to his Madras, India, home on November 8, 1944;[126] he died in hospital the next day having been able to describe the attack to police but not identify the assailants. Six men, all film actors whom he had feuded with, were arrested; three were tried and two convicted. Their convictions were overturned on appeal three years later but their film careers were ruined. No other suspects have been identified.
  • Charles Walton (74–75), was found dead at a farm at Meon Hill, Warwickshire, on February 14, 1945.[127] He had been beaten over the head with his own stick, his neck had been cut open with a slash hook and he had been pinned to the ground by his neck with a pitchfork. His employer, Alfred John Potter, was suspected of the murder but never charged. The case attracted notoriety because of suspicions the murder had been related to witchcraft, and because of its similarities to the murder of a local woman, Ann Tennant, in 1875, who was also killed with a pitchfork by a man accusing her of witchcraft.
  • Nevio Skull (42), was a Fiuman Italian businessman and politician from Rijeka (now Croatia). From his father, Skull inherited the property of the "Foundry and factory machines of Matthew Skull", founded in Rijeka in 1878 and quickly became the largest private industry in the city before being taken over in 1935. On the night of May 3–4, 1945, following the Yugoslav occupation of Rijeka, Skull was arrested by agents of OZNA and disappeared. His body was found on the riverbed of the Rječina 25 days later with a gunshot wound to the neck.[128] His killer is unknown.
  • Ernst Dehmel (30), a decorated officer in the German Waffen-SS, was allegedly beaten to death by French soldiers who had him in their custody at Remscheid-Lüttringhausen on August 7, 1945.[129] No charges have been brought.
  • Oto Iskandar di Nata (48), was a fighter for Indonesia's liberation from Dutch rule, and an Indonesian State Minister and was also a National Hero of Indonesia. Based on witness information, Oto was murdered on December 19, 1945, on a beach in Mauk District, Tangerang Regency in Banten (formerly West Java). He was abducted by a group called "The Black Troop" (Indonesian: Laskar Hitam), who killed him and dumped his body into the sea; the body was never found.[130][131] His kidnappers and killers were never identified and were not charged with his murder.
  • Oak Grove Jane Doe, an unidentified murder victim found dismembered in the Willamette River south of Portland, Oregon near Oak Grove over a period of several months in 1946. The first discovery consisted of a woman's torso which was found wrapped in burlap, floating near the Wisdom Light moorage on April 12, 1946;[132] this led the media to dub the case the Wisdom Light Murder.
  • The Texarkana Moonlight murders were a series of murders committed by the unidentified "Phantom Killer" between February 22 and May 3, 1946. Eight people were attacked by the Phantom Killer, five of whom died. A profile was released for the killer, but his identity remains unknown.[133]
  • The Carterons, a French family of three and a foster child who lived with them, as well as their family dog, were all found shot execution-style face down on the floor of their Bommiers farmhouse on July 25, 1946, several days after signs of their apparent inattention to their farming duties had been noted by a neighbor. Robbery was seen as an unlikely motive since the family was very poor, and there were no signs of a struggle. The investigation was hampered by the still chaotic nature of French society barely a year after the end of the war; not until two years later was it established that the weapon used to kill the four was a Sten, a submachine gun commonly used by the French Resistance, giving rise to theories that the killings had something to do with it. A friend of Kléber Carteron said he had been claiming he was being followed the previous winter. No suspects have been named,[134] although most residents of the area believe the killer was someone local who had a dispute with the family.
Elizabeth Short, known posthumously as the "Black Dahlia," is one of the most famous victims of an unsolved murder in American history.
  • The Black Dahlia (Elizabeth Short) (22), a woman who was found severely mutilated and her body cut in half in Leimert Park, Los Angeles, California on January 15, 1947. Her unsolved murder has been the source of several books, films, and widespread speculation.[135]
  • On June 20, 1947, gangster Bugsy Siegel (41), known for making Las Vegas into a gambling destination, was shot several times with an M-1 carbine from outside as he read the newspaper at a friend's house in Beverly Hills, California. There are many suspects. Police believe he was killed by his own associates, but have never put together enough evidence against any one of them to declare the case solved.[136]
  • In the Tamam Shud case, an unidentified man was found dead on Somerton beach in Adelaide, South Australia on the morning of December 1, 1948, at 6:30 am.[137] Also known as the Mystery of the Somerton Man, this case is considered "one of Australia's most profound mysteries", and no suspects have been named nor has the man been identified despite the best efforts of many world agencies. He was killed by an unknown poison with a piece of paper in his pocket that reads "Tamám Shud", meaning "The End".
  • Emily Armstrong (69), found in a dry cleaner's shop in London, England on April 14, 1949, about an hour after she had been murdered. An autopsy showed she was beaten to death and her skull shattered by at least 22 blows from a blunt object, believed to be a claw hammer.[138] The case remains unsolved.[139]
  • Three people died when a train derailed near Matsukawa, Japan on August 17, 1949.[140] Investigators found that the track had been sabotaged going into a curve and arrested 20 people; all of whom were initially convicted and, in several cases, sentenced to death. However, during the appeals process, it eventually emerged that prosecutors had suppressed exculpatory evidence, and after all the defendants were released in 1970 the case was closed. No other suspects have been identified.

1950s
  • Philip Mangano (53), was an Italian-born caporegime[141] and second consigliere in the Gambino crime family in New York City and reigned consigliere for 20 years between 1931 and 1951 when his brother, Vincent, was boss. On April 19, 1951, a woman in a fishing boat discovered Philip Mangano's body in a marshland area of Jamaica Bay in Brooklyn while she had been walking through the tall grass.[142] Mangano had been shot three times; once in the neck and twice in the face.[143] No one was charged with his murder, so it remains unsolved.
  • Liaquat Ali Khan (56), who was one of the leading founding fathers of Pakistan, died on October 16, 1951, after he was shot twice in the chest while he was addressing a gathering of 100,000 at Company Bagh (Company Gardens), Rawalpindi.[144][145] The police immediately shot the presumed murderer who was later identified as professional assassin Said Akbar, but the real killer remains unknown.
  • Harry and Harriette Moore (45 and 49), were severely injured by a bomb that exploded underneath the bedroom of their Mims, Florida, home on December 25, 1951.[146] Harry died in the ambulance on the way to the nearest hospital that would treat African Americans; his wife succumbed to her injuries nine days later, after his funeral. They had both been active in the local civil rights movement, and investigations have concluded that was the motive for the bombing, making them not only one of the earliest martyrs to that cause but the only married couple killed for their activism in it. By the time four suspects, all senior members of the central Florida Ku Klux Klan, were identified, they had all died, and the case was closed in 1991 with no arrests.
  • Arnold Schuster (24), a clothing salesman who had provided the tip that led to the capture of legendary bank robber Willie Sutton, was shot dead outside his Brooklyn home a month afterwards, on March 8, 1952.[147] Police interviewed 300 people but never identified any as a suspect, although they came to believe the killing was carried out by either the Mafia or Sutton's associates. A lawsuit against the city by his family led to a landmark state-court ruling that the state has a duty to protect anyone who cooperates with the police to the extent that they seek.
  • Jack Burris (35), Mayes County, Oklahoma, county attorney, was killed with a shotgun blast just outside his house in June 1952.[148] has been the basis for several books and screenplays for over 50 years.[149] Investigators were unable to obtain a tape that purported to be the killer's confession later in the decade; there have been no suspects since then.
  • John Acropolis (43), a New York labor leader with organized crime connections, was shot by an unknown assailant in Yonkers on August 26, 1952.[150]
  • The severely beaten body of Betty Shanks (22), was found in a Grange, Queensland, garden on the morning of September 19, 1952.[151] The largest criminal investigation in the state's history yielded no solid suspects or leads; the case remains open.
  • Babes in the Wood murders (Stanley Park) were two unidentified boys located on January 14, 1953, in Stanley Park, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. They were likely murdered in 1947.[152]
  • On April 9, 1953, the body of Wilma Montesi (21), washed up on a beach at Torvaianica, Italy, near Rome.[153] The investigation delved into accounts of orgies and drug use in Roman society, but no one was charged.
Kyllikki Saari (back right) was murdered in Isojoki, 1953. Her case remains one of Finland's major unsolved murder cases.
  • The body of Kyllikki Saari (17), of Isojoki, Finland was found on October 11, 1953, almost five months after she was last seen. Several suspects have been considered, but no one has been prosecuted.[154] The case remains one of the country's best-known mysteries.

  • Marilyn Reese Sheppard, pregnant wife of Sam Sheppard, attacked and killed in their home in Bay Village, Ohio, United States, on July 4, 1954. Sam Sheppard was convicted of killing her, but this was overturned in 1966, and he was acquitted in a new trial. He claimed his wife was killed by a bushy-haired man who also attacked him and knocked him unconscious twice. Their son slept through the night, just down the hall from the bedroom in which his mother was murdered. The trial of Sam Sheppard received extensive publicity and was called "carnival atmosphere" by the U.S. Supreme Court.[156] The Sheppard case was a large part of the inspiration for the 1960s television series The Fugitive and the 1993 movie of the same name.
  • Carolyn Wasilewski (14), was found dead in a rail yard near her Baltimore, Maryland home on November 9, 1954.[157] The case generated nationwide media attention, and police still get calls about the case. However, no suspects have been named. Filmmaker John Waters says the case and the media frenzy over some aspects of Baltimore's youth culture of the time inspired his film Cry-Baby, later adapted into a Broadway musical.
  • Serge Rubinstein (46), a stock swindler and international playboy was found strangled in his Manhattan mansion on January 27, 1955. Because of his notoriety, there were numerous suspects but the murder remained unsolved.[158] The following year, the film Death of a Scoundrel, loosely based on Rubinstein's life, was released.
  • Early civil rights movement leader George W. Lee (51), was killed by an assailant who drove up alongside his car and shot him several times on May 7, 1955, in Belzoni, Mississippi.[159] After local and state authorities insisted that the death was a traffic accident, U.S. Attorney General Herbert Brownell Jr. ordered a federal investigation which was able to prove it was a homicide; however, although some suspects were identified but never named publicly no arrests were made since witnesses were afraid to testify.
  • Another Mississippi African American civil rights activist, Lamar Smith (63), was shot and killed on August 13, 1955, outside the Lincoln County courthouse in Brookhaven,[160] where he had been helping other African American registered voters fill out absentee ballots for an upcoming primary to avoid attempts to intimidate them at the polls. Dozens of witnesses reportedly saw the killing, and three men were arrested, but an all-white grand jury refused to indict them.
  • William Morris Bioff (55), a labor leader with organized-crime ties, was killed by a bomb that detonated when he started his car on the morning of November 4, 1955, outside his Illinois home. No suspects have been named.[161]
  • Barbara and Patricia Grimes disappeared on December 28, 1956 in Chicago, Illinois after going to a cinema to view a screening of the Elvis Presley film Love Me Tender (1956).[162] Their disappearance launched one of the biggest missing-persons hunts in Chicago history. However, police were not able to determine what happened to the Grimes sisters.[163] On January 22, 1957, their naked bodies were found off a road near Willow Springs, Illinois. The corpses contained various bruises and marks (for example puncture wounds in the chest that may have come from an ice pick) that were never fully explained.
  • Discovered in a box in the Fox Chase section of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on February 25, 1957, was a young boy. Known as "The Boy in the Box" and "America's Unknown Child", to this day his homicide, as well as his identity, remains unsolved.[164]
  • Mafia boss Albert Anastasia (55) was shot to death while being shaved at a Manhattan barbershop on October 25, 1957.[165] The list of suspects includes many other organized-crime figures of the era; no one has been officially named although authorities think the actual assassins were members of the Boston-based Patriarca crime family, in keeping with the mob's practice of hiring for such major hits from out of town.
  • Rosemarie Nitribitt (24), a sex worker, was found dead in her luxury apartment in Frankfurt, Germany, on November 1, 1957.[166] She had been strangled and beaten; the investigation established that this had happened three days beforehand. Police arrested Heinz Pohlmann, a businessman and friend of Nitribitt's who had visited her that day. He was tried and eventually acquitted due to questions about whether the time of death had been accurately established. No other suspects have been identified; the case has inspired novels, films and plays.
  • Maria Ridulph (7), American girl from Sycamore, Illinois who disappeared on December 3, 1957 and was found dead five months later.[167] Ridulph's killer is not known.
  • Insuranceman Harry Baker's (61), body was found just off A50 (near Knutsford) 17 days after he was last seen in Bootle on June 23, 1958. Despite many promising leads his case remains unsolved.[168]
  • Dancer Pearl Eaton (60), was found dead in her Manhattan Beach, California, apartment on September 10, 1958. The police called the death a homicide, but never solved the case.[169]

Two days later her body was discovered in a nearby farm woodlot. She had been raped and strangled with her own blouse. Fourteen-year-old Steven Murray Truscott was convicted and sentenced to death for the murder, becoming Canada's youngest person to be sentenced to death. The sentence was later commuted to life in prison. Truscott was held in custody for 10 years: in 2007, his conviction was ruled a miscarriage of justice, although he was not declared innocent.[172]
  • After a friend of Dutch sex worker Blonde Dolly (32), born Sybille Niemans, found her shades drawn and the door locked on the morning of November 2, 1959, police in The Hague found her body upstairs. She was determined to have been strangled two days before, but in the years since no suspects hav been identified.[173][174]
  • Almost 600 possible suspects have been considered in the Walker family murders of December 12, 1959, in which two children and their parents were shot by intruders at their Osprey, Florida, farmhouse.[175] Among them are the two men executed by Kansas for the Clutter family murders, which formed the basis for Truman Capote's In Cold Blood.

1960s
The Lake Bodom murders in Finland are the most famous unsolved homicide cases in Finnish criminal history.[176] The tent is investigated immediately after the murders in 1960.
  • All 34 passengers and crew aboard National Airlines Flight 2511 from New York to Miami were killed on January 6, 1960, when a bomb exploded aboard the plane in mid-flight. The FBI is still investigating the case and no suspects have been named.[177]

That night four teenagers were camping on the shores of the Finnish lake when between 4 am and 6 am, they were attacked by an unknown individual or individuals with a knife and a blunt object. Three of them died, and the fourth one was wounded but survived. Although the sole survivor became a suspect for some time in 2004, the case remains unsolved.[179]
  • Paul Guihard (31), an Agence France-Presse reporter covering the Ole Miss riot of 1962, was found dead near a building on September 30, 1962, of what turned out to be a gunshot wound. He was the only journalist killed during the civil rights movement; his killer has never been identified.[180]

The attendant's trial was moved to a neighboring, whiter county, where he was acquitted by an all-white jury in December.
  • Early in the morning of June 17, 1966, two black men walked into a Paterson, New Jersey, bar and began shooting. The bartender and one patron died at the scene; a female customer died of her wounds a month later. Former professional boxer Rubin Carter and a friend, John Artis, were charged with the crime and convicted the following year, despite their own alibi, weak evidence and alleged racial bias by police and prosecutors. They always protested their innocence, and their case became a cause celebre, inspiring Bob Dylan's "Hurricane". In 1978, they won a second trial, but were convicted again;[199] after another habeas corpus petition was granted in 1985, the state declined to retry them. No other suspects have been identified.
  • Clarence Triggs (24), was an African-American bricklayer and veteran, who was murdered on July 30, 1966, in Bogalusa, Louisiana, about a month after participating in a civil rights march for voting.[200] The murder remains unsolved.

In 1973, an award-winning series in the Chicago Sun-Times suggested the murder was a botched robbery committed by a gang with organized-crime connections; however, nothing was taken from the house and investigators today believe the motive was personal.[201]
  • Allen Redston (6), was an Australian schoolboy from Bendigo, Australia. He was kidnapped and murdered on September 28, 1966, having disappeared the previous day.[202] No one was charged with his murder, and the person who was thought to have killed him had denied it and has now died, and it remains an infamous cold case in Canberra to this day.
  • Cheri Jo Bates (18), was a young woman who was murdered in Riverside, California on October 30, 1966. Bates was a college freshman and was stabbed and slashed to death on the grounds of Riverside City College. Police determined the assailant had disabled the ignition coil wire and distributor of Bates' Volkswagen Beetle[203] as a method to lure her from her car as she studied in the college library.[204] The murder itself remains one of Riverside's most infamous cold cases[205] and has been described by some locals as a murder which "stripped Riverside of its innocence".[206]
  • Ephraim Kapolo (23–24), was a Namibian activist who participated in the pre-independence movement. Kapolo was arrested with other prominent members of SWAPO following the battle of Omugulugwombashe. He was detained with no trail and was held in solitary confinement in Pretoria, South Africa for more than a year.[207] He died in police custody in 1967 during the "terrorism trial". His death cause is murder, but the killers are unknown.
  • Mohamed Khider (54), was an Algerian politician,[208] who was assassinated in Madrid, Spain on January 4, 1967.[209] Most observers blamed his murder on Col. Boumédiène, yet his true murder cause is unknown.
  • Wharlest Jackson (26–27), who was the treasurer of the Natchez, Mississippi branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People until February 27, 1967 when he was murdered after a car bomb that was placed on the frame of his truck that he was sitting in that was under the driver side seat exploded and killed him.[210] Who was behind this remains unknown.
  • Mima McKim-Hill (21), was an Australian woman who was abducted, sexually assaulted and strangled on March 9, 1967.[211][212] After she had gone missing, her body was found on March 26, 1967, north-east of Biloela. Her murder remains an unsolved cold case.[213]
  • Cook County, Illinois, deputy sheriff Ralph Probst (30), was shot and killed in the kitchen of his Hometown home from outside on April 10, 1967. In the weeks before he had told family and coworkers that he was investigating "something big" that would lead to his promotion. Since he had been working in the organized-crime unit, suspects, including Silas Jayne, have been named, but none charged.[214]
  • On August 25, 1967, two men dressed as road maintenance workers stopped Hong Kong radio commentator Lam Bun (37), as he drove home, then poured petrol all over him, a cousin who was with him, and his car, all of which they then set aflame.[215] Both Lam and his cousin died; it is believed that the killers may have been associated with the leftist groups that Bun often ridiculed on air during that year's ongoing leftist riots, since many of the latter have refused to condemn the killing. While public outrage over the killing led the government to finally suppress the protests and riots, no arrests have been made.
  • All six members of the Robison family were found shot in the head in their Good Hart, Michigan, vacation cabin on July 22, 1968; investigators established that the killings had taken place on June 25.[216] A lengthy investigation led police to Joseph Scolaro, an employee of Richard Robison's who may also have been embezzling from him. There was much circumstantial evidence linking him to the crime, but it was not enough to charge him. Four years later the case was reopened in the Robisons' county of residence, and when Scolaro learned that he was about to be charged this time he killed himself, leaving behind a typed suicide note in which he confessed to previous thefts and swindles but protested his innocence of the Robison killings. The case remains officially open.
  • Melitón Manzanas (61–62), was a high-ranking police officer in Francoist Spain, known as a torturer[217][218] and the first planned victim of ETA. On August 2, 1968, he was murdered in the first planned killing committed by ETA in response to the killing of Txabi Etxebarrieta,[219] after being shot him seven times.[220] The murder remains unsolved.
  • On October 1, 1968, the body of Stevan Marković (31), Serbian-born bodyguard to French film star Alain Delon, was found in a garbage dump on the western outskirts of Paris.[221][222] Possible nude photographs of the wife of French president Georges Pompidou were found in his car shortly afterwards, leading to a political scandal around allegations of blackmail and Marković's connections to Corsican organized crime. The murder officially remains unsolved.
  • David Arthur Faraday, 17, and Betty Lou Jensen, 16, were shot to death on December 20, 1968 in Benicia, California. Faraday and Jensen were the first murders attributed to the Zodiac Killer. The Zodiac murders have never been solved.
  • Barbara Ann Hackmann Taylor's (24) body was found alongside a road near Georgetown, Kentucky, on December 17, 1968.[223] Until her identification in 1998, she was known only as "Tent Girl". Her husband was suspected at the time, but is now deceased.
  • The body of Jane Britton (23), a Harvard University graduate student in Near Eastern archaeology, was found beaten to death and raped on January 7, 1969, in her Cambridge, Massachusetts, apartment. Red ochre powder was found sprinkled around her body, which along with the killer's lack of interest in her valuables suggested to police and the media at the time that it might have been someone familiar with her academically, since the powder was used in ancient Iranian burial rites; a possible second Boston Strangler or copycat was also suggested. No suspects were identified, until DNA analysis in 2018 matched that at the crime scene with Michael Sumpter, who had an arrest record that included several rape convictions; his DNA was also matched to that found at some additional unsolved rapes and murders in the 1970s. However, Sumpter had died in 2001, and although police closed the investigation there could be no prosecution, so the case will remain officially unsolved.[224]
  • Edwin T. Pratt (38), then-director of the Seattle Urban League, was shot and killed outside his Shoreline, Washington, home on January 26, 1969. Despite an extensive investigation, no arrests were made. Later research by area newspapers has identified three likely suspects, all of whom have since died.[225]
  • Clarence 13X (41), founder of Five-Percent Nation (splinter group of the Nation of Islam) was fatally shot by a group of attackers in the lobby of his wife's Harlem apartment building on the morning of June 13, 1969.[226] One suspect was arrested two months later; charges were dropped. New York police believe the murder was related to an extortion attempt; no other suspects have been named.
  • Catherine Cesnik (27), was a Roman Catholic nun who taught English and drama at the formerly all-girls Archbishop Keough High School in Baltimore, Maryland. On November 7, 1969, Cesnik disappeared.[227] Her body was discovered on January 3, 1970, near a garbage dump in the Baltimore suburb of Lansdowne.[228] Her homicide remains unsolved.
  • Joyce Malecki (20), was an American office worker from Baltimore who was employed at a liquor distributor. She disappeared on November 11, 1969. Her body was discovered on November 13, 1969, at the Soldier Park training area of Fort Meade, two days after her disappearance. Her murder remains unsolved.[229]
  • Betsy Aardsma (22), from Holland, Michigan, was a graduate student at Penn State University. She was stabbed to death in the stacks of Pattee Library on Penn State's campus on November 28, 1969. She was stabbed a single time through the heart with a single-edged small knife. Approximately one minute later two men told a desk clerk, "Somebody better help that girl," and then left the library. The men were never identified. Twenty–five to 35 minutes later she was pronounced dead at the hospital. She had been wearing a red dress, and since there was only a small amount of blood visible, no one realized immediately that she had been stabbed.[230]
  • On September 2, 1999, a 55-gallon drum in the basement of a house in Nassau County, New York turned out to contain the pregnant body of Reyna Marroquin, a Salvadoran immigrant murdered 30 years earlier in 1969.[231] Police suspected a former owner of the house who had also run a dye company that used the drum. He had reportedly been having an affair with Marroquin. The day after police interviewed him in Florida and told him they would get a court order to produce a DNA sample, he killed himself. DNA tests later showed he had fathered the fetus. Police consider him their main suspect, but as he is dead himself, he cannot be charged and the case remains officially open.

1970s
  • The Heul Girl (12–15), a female murder victim whose identity is unknown[232] who most likely died in the 1970s who was found on October 24, 1976 at the De Heul on the A12, in Maarsbergen, Netherlands.[233] where a parking lot used to be. Her murder remains unsolved.
  • David Chingunji (34–35), served as a top commander in the National Union for the Total Independence of Angola (UNITA),[234] who became pro-Western rebels in the subsequent Angolan Civil War. Chingunji died when UNITA forces tried to ambush Portuguese forces in 1970,[235][236] and whoever killed him remains unknown.
  • San Francisco police Sgt. Brian McConnell died of fatal shrapnel wounds suffered in the bombing of a police station on February 16, 1970.[237] Later investigations have suggested the Weather Underground terror group was involved, but no individual suspects have been named.
  • UCLA Black Student Union co-founder Melvin X (22), was found fatally shot in the driver's seat of a borrowed car outside Mira Loma, California (7), in June 1970; he had last been seen the previous evening.[238] A suspect who was arrested four months later on unrelated charges in Las Vegas was released after passing a lie detector test along with two other persons of interest. The case remains open.[239]
  • Leon Jordan (65), a civil rights movement leader in Kansas City, Missouri, was shot dead outside a tavern he owned on July 15, 1970.[240] Three men, connected with local organized crime, were arrested and charged with the crime; one was acquitted and charges were dropped against the other two. In 2010, the case was reopened after The Kansas City Star uncovered evidence that had gone missing during the original investigation; it uncovered more definite evidence that the killing was a mob hit, but by then all the suspects had died.
  • The bodies of Harvey and Jeannette Crewe (28 and 30), were found in New Zealand's Waikato River near their Pukekawa farm in August and September 1970, respectively. They had been reported missing on June 22 of that year, five days after last being seen.[241] Both had been shot with a rifle. After a short investigation, police arrested Arthur Thomas, another farmer, later that year. He was tried and convicted twice, but there was evidence that police had fabricated key evidence against him. This led to an inquiring commission that severely criticized two of the lead investigators without holding them accountable otherwise, and Prime Minister Robert Muldoon pardoned Thomas in 1979. Authorities have never identified any other suspects, although two journalists have written books proposing alternative theories of the case.
  • Investigations have strongly suggested that Italian journalist Mauro De Mauro (49), who disappeared on September 16, 1970, was killed by the Mafia to prevent him from completing his own inquiry into the death of Enrico Mattei after he was kidnapped while returning from work in Palermo.[242] However, it has never been clear which of several possible motives led to his death, and his body has never been found. In 2011, the only living suspect was tried and acquitted; the prosecution continues to appeal.
  • E.C. Mullendore III (42), was an American heir of a very large cattle ranch in Oklahoma and was murdered on September 26, 1970. The murder rmains unsolved and has captured much attention.[243]

  • Richard Montague (40), American philosopher and mathematician who was murdered on March 7, 1971 in Los Angeles, California in his own home by persons unknown.[246] The murder remains unsolved.
Rhonda Johnson (left) and Sharon Shaw
  • Rhonda Johnson and Sharon Shaw (13 and 14), were two teenage American girls who disappeared in Harris County, Texas, on the afternoon of August 4, 1971. In early 1972, skeletal remains of both girls were discovered in and around Clear Lake near Galveston Bay.[247] A local man, Michael Lloyd Self, was charged with their murders in 1972 and convicted of Shaw's murder in 1975. Controversy arose in 1998 when serial killer Edward Harold Bell confessed to the murders. Bell's confession—and corroborating statements from both law enforcement and prosecutors that Self had been coerced into a false confession—led many to believe that Self had been wrongfully convicted.[248] Self died in prison of cancer in 2000. The case remains unsolved.[249]
  • A man claiming to be a Croatian nationalist called a Swedish newspaper to claim credit for the January 26, 1972, bombing of JAT Flight 367 over what was then Czechoslovakia on its way back to Yugoslavia from Denmark, which killed 27 of the 28 onboard (surviving flight attendant Vesna Vulović set the world record for longest fall survived without a parachute, at 10,160 metres [33,330 ft]).[250] No suspects have been identified; some alternative theories have claimed the plane was actually shot down when it flew too close to a sensitive military facility, although the evidence largely supports the official finding that the plane was destroyed by an explosion at high altitude.
  • Joe Gallo (43), was shot to death in a Manhattan clamhouse on April 7, 1972,[251] as part of a war between New York City Mafia families. The investigation identified no suspects, although Frank Sheeran claimed shortly before his death 31 years later that he was the lone gunman.
  • On April 20, 1972, New York City police officer Philip Cardillo (32), died in the hospital of a gunshot wound inflicted six days earlier during an incident at a Harlem mosque. Another officer involved said he had seen one of the mosque's congregants, Louis 17X Dupree, standing over Cardillo with a gun pointed at his chest. Due to political complications resulting from the incident, suspects who had been in custody were not identified before being released and evidence was not collected at the scene. The detective in charge of investigating the shooting later claimed interference from senior officers impeded his efforts and procedures were ignored. Two years later, Dupree's first trial, based largely on the testimony of an informant, resulted in a hung jury and his second in an acquittal. He later served a prison sentence in North Carolina on drug charges and is currently in a Georgia prison on another charge. A later police informant in another case identified another suspect; he was never tried. Detectives who continue to investigate the case have complained that the FBI, which also had informants within the mosque, lied about what it knew in the past and is still withholding relevant information.[252]
  • George Duncan (41), was an Australian law lecturer at the University of Adelaide who drowned on May 10, 1972, after being thrown into the River Torrens by a group of men believed to be police officers. Public outrage generated by the murder became the trigger for homosexual law reform which led to South Australia becoming the first Australian state to decriminalize homosexuality.[253] The murder remains unsolved.[254]
  • Parts of Dolores Della Penna's body were found in two separate South Jersey locations in July 1972. The 17-year-old had last been seen leaving her house in Philadelphia's Tacony neighborhood on July 11. Her fingertips had been removed from her hands to prevent fingerprint identification and her head has never been found. In the mid-1990s police identified several suspects and claimed the motive had been revenge against her boyfriend for stealing drugs from some local dealers; however, most of them were dead by that time and the living ones were not charged. No other suspects have ever been identified.[255]
  • Major Coxson (45–46), whose first name was Benjamin and was also known as "The Maj" was an American drug kingpin from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania who was shot dead in his home[256] on June 8, 1973 by unknown persons and the murder remains unsolved.
  • Thomas Eboli (61), acting boss of the Genovese crime family, was shot and killed as he walked from his girlfriend's house in the Crown Heights section of Brooklyn to his car in the early hours of July 16, 1972.[257][258] It has been speculated that he was killed over unpaid debts, but no one has ever been charged.
  • Yosef Alon (43), a military attaché at the Israeli embassy in Washington, was shot fatally in his Chevy Chase driveway as he and his wife returned from a party shortly after midnight on July 1, 1973. The Palestinian Black September urban guerrilla claimed responsibility, in retaliation for the slaying of one its members by Israeli operatives, but officially the case remains unsolved.[259]
  • Brian McDermott (10), a boy who went missing on September 2, 1973, in Belfast. His partly-burned remains were found in a sack in the River Lagan a week later.[260]
  • Albert DeSalvo (42), a convicted serial rapist widely believed at the time to have been the Boston Strangler, was found stabbed to death in the infirmary at Walpole state prison on the morning of November 25, 1973.[261] Charges brought against another inmate led to a mistrial when the jury deadlocked; no other suspects have ever been named.

  • Jane Doe, a woman who American convicted serial killer Richard Laurence Marquette said who he had killed in 1974 whose skeleton was shown to detectives by Marquette, excluded its head, whose identity remains unknown.[266]
  • Athalia Ponsell Lindsley (56), a former model and Broadway dancer, was fatally assaulted with a machete on the porch of her St. Augustine, Florida, home on January 23, 1974. The investigation centered on a neighbor she was having a dispute with at the time; he was tried and acquitted due to mishandling of the evidence. No other suspects have been named.[267] Later that same year, on November 3 Frances Bemis, a socialite friend of Lindsley's who had reportedly been conducting her own investigation of the murder, was found with her skull crushed in the neighborhood. That case also remains unsolved.[267]
Facial reconstructions of the Lady of the Dunes. Found murdered on July 26, 1974, in Provincetown, Massachusetts
  • Long Beach Jane Doe (18–28), who is known locally as "Jane Doe 40" is an unidentified female murder victim who was found on May 28, 1974 in Long Beach, California[268] after she had been strangled and raped. She has never been identified and her killer is not known.

  • Martha Morrison's remains were found in Vancouver, Washington on October 12, 1974, alongside Carol Valenzuela. Morrison's body was unidentified until July 2015. Until 2017, there were no conclusive leads to their killer, until Morrison's DNA was found on a weapon owned by serial killer Warren Leslie Forest, who was later charged.[270][271]
Arlis Perry. Murdered October 12, 1974
  • Arlis Perry (19), was found dead in Stanford Memorial Church, where she had gone the previous night after an argument with her husband, on the campus of Stanford University in Palo Alto, California, early on October 13, 1974. She had been beaten and sexually assaulted before her death but not raped; an ice pick found lodged into the base of her skull during the autopsy turned out to be the murder weapon. David Berkowitz, the "Son of Sam" serial killer, told investigators he had heard details about the killing from another inmate purportedly linked to the Manson family, but they ultimately discounted his information.[272] In 2018, DNA tests led police to Stephen Blake Crawford, the security guard who had found Perry's body, but he shot himself when officers arrived at his house to arrest him.[273]
  • Writer Donald Goines (37), and his wife Shirley Sailor, were found shot dead in their Detroit apartment on October 21, 1974.[274] No suspects have ever been identified.

  • A car bomb on March 18, 1975, in Lusaka, Zambia, killed Herbert Chitepo (51),[277] the first black lawyer in Rhodesia, a bodyguard and, later, Chitepo's neighbour. No suspects have ever been named. A 2001 investigation blamed infighting among members of the Zimbabwe African National Union (ZANU), which Chitepo had helped found, but a memoir by a former member of Rhodesian intelligence says instead that his agencies were behind it and planted evidence to implicate ZANU.
  • Gold prospectors in southern Oregon discovered four decaying bodies near a creek in the Siskiyou Mountains on April 12, 1975; these were identified through dental records as the Cowden family of White City, who had disappeared from their campsite, where there was some evidence of a struggle, near Copper the previous year's Labor Day weekend. One of the original searchers said the bodies had not been where they were found; police find his story credible. Dwain Lee Little, of nearby Ruch, who was on parole from a previous rape and murder conviction at the time and is currently serving consecutive life sentences for an attempted murder of a mother and her infant child, is considered a suspect due to circumstantial evidence but it has not been enough to support charging him with the crime.[278] True-crime writer Ann Rule's 2009 book about Little, But I Trusted You, goes into the case.
  • Sam Giancana (67), a longtime leader of the Chicago Outfit, was shot and killed in his kitchen on June 19, 1975,[279] shortly before he was to testify before a Senate subcommittee investigating possible CIA and Mafia collaboration in plots to assassinate John F. Kennedy over a decade earlier. This has led to much speculation as to who wanted him dead, with the actual shooter believed to be someone Giancana knew well. However, no charges have ever been brought in the case.
  • On June 23, 1975, the body of brothel keeper Shirley Finn was found shot dead in a parked car in South Perth, Australia.[280] No suspects have ever been identified; the investigation is continuing.

He said the shooting occurred without reason or provocation and said that there were two gunmen whom he did not recognize. There was no attempt at robbery, and the killers and their motivation are still unknown.[282]
  • Claude Snelling (45), a journalism professor at College of the Sequoias in Visalia, California, was shot and killed by an intruder in his home on the night of September 11, 1975, after discovering the man trying to kidnap his teenage daughter.

  • Vladimir Herzog (38), nicknamed "Vlado", was a Brazilian journalist, university professor and playwright of Croatian Jewish origin was a member of the Brazilian Communist Party and was active in the civil resistance movement against the Brazilian military government. On October 25, 1975, Herzog, then editor in chief of TV Cultura, was tortured to death by the political police of the military dictatorship, which later forged his suicide. Over 37 years later, his death certificate was revised to say that Herzog had in fact died as a result of torture by the army at DOI-CODI.[284] His death cause remains unknown and had a great impact on the Brazilian society, marking the beginning of the redemocratization process of the country.
  • Pier Paolo Pasolini (53), was an Italian film director, poet, writer, and intellectual, who also distinguished himself as an actor, journalist, novelist, playwright, and political figure.

  • The 1975 LaGuardia Airport bombing occurred on the evening of December 29, 1975, at the TWA baggage claim at New York's LaGuardia Airport,[287] killing 11. It has been suspected that Croatian nationalists were behind it, due to a similar bomb found at Grand Central Terminal a year later, but the group responsible for that event has denied responsibility for the earlier attack. Officially it remains unsolved.

His badly-burned body was identified by a fellow veteran of the Wehrmacht who lived nearby; the circumstances of his death and autopsy have led to allegations that he faked it.[293]
  • Seewen murder case: 5 people were shot with a Winchester rifle during Pentecost weekend 1976 in a weekend house near the Swiss village Seewen. The main suspect, owner of a Winchester, was Carl Doser, who disappeared without a trace in 1977. The Winchester used for the crime was found in 1996 in Carl Doser's mother's former appartement. A witness came to police in 2013 saying that he met Doser in late 90', Doser declaring that "he couldn't go back to Swiss, being chased for murder.[294] The murderer remains unknown.[295]
  • Priscilla Childers maintained to her 2001 death that her former husband, oil heir T. Cullen Davis, entered her house disguised with a wig on August 2, 1976, and fatally shot her 12-year-old daughter Andrea Wilborn, then ambushed her and her boyfriend Stan Farr as they returned home, also killing Farr. A judge had just granted her an increase in the support payments Davis owed her. He was indicted only in Wilborn's death, making him the wealthiest person to ever be tried for murder in the United States; at trial he was acquitted although Farr's children settled a wrongful death suit they brought against him. A few years later Davis was also tried and acquitted on charges he had conspired to have Childers and the judge murdered. Both cases have been the subject of books.[296]
  • Susanne Lindholm (25) was found raped and strangled in the basement of her Käpylä, Helsinki apartment building on August 8, 1976. Despite numerous tips over the years and several arrests, her murder remains unsolved.

  • Dallas police officer Robert W. Wood, 27, was fatally shot during a traffic stop in the early hours of November 28, 1976. Randall Dale Adams was initially convicted of the murder and almost executed. Errol Morris's 1988 documentary film The Thin Blue Line re-examined the case and suggested that another Texas inmate, David Harris, who had testified against Adams, was the more likely suspect after a taped statement from Harris at the end of the film that implicated him. Harris recanted his trial testimony at Adams' habeas corpus hearing, which resulted in the charges against Adams being dropped, freeing him. However, Harris never explicitly confessed to the crime before his own execution for another murder in 2004, leaving the killing officially unsolved.[302]

Her father, the letterbomb's intended target, had been one of the few doctors at his hospital not on strike; another nonstriking doctor received that day a similarly rigged package that did not detonate. A connection to that was investigated but no suspects were identified.

Crane was involved in the underground sexual scene and filmed his numerous escapades with the help of Carpenter, who was an audio-visual expert.[325][326][327][328] Police reportedly found blood smears in Carpenter's car that matched Crane's blood type, but no charges were filed against Carpenter for more than a decade. When he was charged in 1994, he was acquitted. Carpenter maintained his innocence until his death in 1998, and the case is now officially cold.[329]

Three days later, Vietnam invaded Cambodia, forcing the Khmer Rouge from power and exposing their genocide, reports of which Caldwell had been one of the most forceful deniers of in the West. His killing is believed to have been an inside job since he and his companions were under heavy guard the whole time they were in the country. It is believed that either Pot had him killed over a disagreement (although he reportedly returned from the meeting in very high spirits) or that anti-regime subversives did it in preparation for the Vietnamese invasion, to eliminate one of the Khmer Rouge's most passionate defenders abroad.
  • On January 6, 1979, the bodies of the four Tan children were found in their family's apartment in the Singapore neighborhood of Geylang Bahru,[335] stacked on top of each other after they had been extensively stabbed and slashed with a knife and chopper.

  • Adolph Dubs (58), then U.S. ambassador to Afghanistan, who had been kidnapped by militants, was found to have been shot in the head at close range on February 14, 1979, after an abortive rescue attempt by Afghan police. The investigation of the crime was perfunctory; who the kidnappers were, and which of them killed Dubs, has never been determined. U.S. authorities came to believe that the Soviet KGB was behind the murder, and documents released from the Mitrokhin archive in the 1990s, after the Soviet Union collapsed, have lent some support to these allegations; the Soviets in turn accused the CIA of having done it to discredit them. In the wake of the killing the U.S. began disengaging from Afghanistan and more openly supporting opponents of the government, setting the stage for the Soviet invasion of the country later that year.[336]

  • Karl Brugger (41), was a German foreign correspondent for the ARD network and author,[422] best known for his book The Chronicle of Akakor about the alleged lost city of Akakor that was published in 1976.[423] Brugger was shot down in Rio de Janeiro on January 3, 1984, after being shot several times,[424] while walking with his friend Ulrich Encke at the famous Ipanema beach.[425] Neither his killer, nor the motive for his killing is known.[426]
  • On the morning of April 14, 1984, the body of a male infant, its neck broken and repeatedly stabbed, was found on the beach at Cahersiveen in Ireland's County Kerry. Later named Baby John, the police investigation became known as the Kerry Babies case after it led to a young woman in nearby Abbeydorney who was mistakenly charged with the crime along with her family. While she had in fact hidden the corpse of a baby she gave birth to who died of undetermined causes shortly afterwards, she was found to have no connection to the Cahirseveen baby, whose identity and killer remains unknown.[427]
  • Vernon County Jane Doe, an unidentified victim was found on May 4, 1984, near Westby, Wisconsin. Her hands were severed and never found, making identification through fingerprinting impossible.[428]
  • Kristina Diane Nelson (21), and her stepsister Jacqueline Ann "Brandy" Miller (18), were found dead in a rural area near Kendrick, Idaho. Nelson and Miller had vanished from Lewiston, Idaho on September 12, 1982.[429][430] Pearsall was never located.[431] Police link their deaths with a cluster of other disappearances and murders occurring in the Lewiston–Clarkston metropolitan area between 1979 and 1982.

  • The strangled bodies of Margaret Tapp (35), and her daughter Seana (9), were found at their home in Melbourne's Ferntree Gully neighborhood on August 7, 1984; Seana had been sexually assaulted as well.[433] Two suspects were cleared after their DNA did not match that left at the scene; the case was reopened in the 2010s.
  • Lenny Breau (42), was a music teacher and guitarist. His body was found floating in the swimming pool at his Los Angeles apartment complex on August 12, 1984; the coroner's office found that rather than having drowned he was strangled.

  • Christine Jessop (8), of Queensville, Ontario, was raped and murdered in October 1984. Her next-door neighbour, Guy Paul Morin, was convicted of the crime in 1992 but DNA testing led to a subsequent overturning of this verdict in 1995.[435][436]
  • After an anonymous caller to the house of Grégory Villemin (4), of Lépanges-sur-Vologne, France, told his family on October 16, 1984, he had taken the boy, who had been playing unsupervised in front of the house, a search found Grégory's body, bound and gagged, in the Vologne River 7 km (4.3 mi) away, where he had apparently been drowned (although the autopsy suggested the drowning had occurred in a different body of water). This began a case that has continued to receive extensive national media attention. An anonymous note suggesting the writer had killed the boy led to the arrest of Bernard Laroche, a Villemin cousin, who was now suspected of having written a long string of threatening anonymous letters to members of the family, socially and economically prominent in that area of the Vosges. Grégory's father, Jean-Marie, shot and killed Laroche several months later; he would serve several years in prison as a result. Handwriting experts then linked Grégory's mother to the notes; she was charged with the murders but, after seven years and two trials, acquitted. Efforts to recover DNA from the principal evidence in the early 21st century failed, but in 2017 three of Grégory's other relatives were charged, although police say they do not yet know who actually killed him.[437]

  • The bombing of a Madrid restaurant on April 12, 1985, killed 18,[440][441][442] making it at the time the deadliest terrorist attack in Spain since the Spanish Civil War. Responsibility has been claimed by both domestic groups such as the ETA and radical Muslim groups, all of whom it is believed may have been wanting to target the restaurant since it was popular with U.S. Air Force personnel from a nearby base. The investigation is continuing.
  • Tony "Spaghetti" Eustace, Australian fugitive, was found murdered on April 23, 1985 after he had been shot back six times.[443][444] He was found dead by two schoolchildren who were returning home from sports training at about 7 pm. The murder remains unsolved

He served as the first President of Palau from March 2, 1981, until his assassination on June 30, 1985.[446] In March 2000, former presidential candidate and convicted felon John O. Ngiraked claimed responsibility for the conspiracy to kill Remeliik,[447] but has not yet been charged with his murder, so the case is not yet solved.
  • On July 1, a bombing of several international airline offices in Madrid was followed by a submachine gun attack on another nearby airline office, killing one.

  • The Rev. Niall Molloy (52), a Catholic priest, was found beaten to death in the master bedroom of Kilcoursey House in Clara, County Offaly, Ireland on July 8, 1985. There were signs of a struggle and evidence that the body had been moved. Richard Flynn, the owner and a longtime friend of Molloy's, confessed the killing to the garda but, at trial, the judge granted the defense a directed verdict of not guilty after merely four hours, believing the medical evidence insufficient to support a manslaughter charge. A coroner's jury later found that Molloy died of head injuries, which led to calls to reopen the case. In subsequent years, it emerged that the investigation had been perfunctory, leaving much evidence unexamined and witness uninterviewed; a 2011 review of the surviving medical evidence found it highly likely that Molloy had survived his injuries for several hours, which raised the question of why emergency services were not called until after he was dead. In 2015 the Irish government declined to open a review, since many of the original witnesses had since died and it did not think any new information would be obtained; Molloy's relatives felt otherwise.[450]
  • Tscherim Soobzokov (61), was a Circassian man accused of collaborating with the Third Reich during the invasion of the Soviet Union and serving as a Waffen-SS officer.[451] Soobzokov denied these charges and sued CBS and The New York Times.[452] On August 15, 1985, a pipe bomb set outside his home in Paterson, New Jersey critically injured Soobzokov.[453][454] He died of his wounds in the hospital on September 9, 1985.[455] An anonymous caller claiming to represent the Jewish Defense League (JDL) said they had carried out the bombing.

  • On November 17, 1987, police found the beaten bodies of Elaine Dardeen (30), and her son Peter (3), as well as a newborn female infant to whom she had apparently given birth prematurely during the attack, tucked into bed in the family mobile home south of Ina, Illinois.[478] Her husband Keith (29) was the prime suspect until his body was found in a nearby wheat field the next day. After shooting him, the killer had cut his penis off. Nothing of value was taken from the home and Elaine had not been raped, nor were police able to find any other evidence that might have suggested a motive. In 2000, serial killer Tommy Lynn Sells confessed to the crime; however, he was never charged as there were doubts about his confession and authorities in Texas, where he was imprisoned, would not allow him to be taken to Illinois to resolve them before he was executed in 2014. No other suspects have ever been named.
  • The decomposing body of Deanna Criswell (16), was found off Interstate 10 near Tucson, Arizona, on November 23, 1987.[479] She had been there for any time from several days to several weeks.

  • Two Victoria Police constables, Steven Tynan, 22, and Damian Eyre, 20, were shot and killed in an apparently planned ambush as they responded to a report of an abandoned car early on the morning of October 12, 1988, in the Melbourne suburb of South Yarra.[488] Police suspected six members of the local Pettingill gang of having carried out the killing in response to recent police killings of other gang members which they believed to have been premeditated. Two were themselves killed when police attempted to arrest them; the other four were tried and acquitted. In 2005 the widow of one of the acquitted men said in an interview that she believed her late husband was guilty. The case later inspired the 2010 film Animal Kingdom and the similarly named American TV series.

  • Five boys aged 9 through 13 went to the woods around South Korea's Mount Waryong on March 26, 1991, to hunt for salamanders (which became known as frogs because salamanders weren't known that well at that time) and never returned. Despite a massive search of the mountain and surroundings, their bodies were not found until 2002, after an anonymous phone call led police to an area that had already been searched near the boys' village. At first, it was theorized that they had died of exposure, a conclusion disputed by their families since the boys knew that area well and their clothes had been tied in knots. An autopsy showed that four had died of blows to the head and the other had been killed with a shotgun. Although the statute of limitations on the case expired in 2006, police continue to investigate for historical reasons.[530]

Although Victoria Police knew a great deal about the perpetrator from previous, non-fatal child abductions and rapes dating back to 1985,[532] there has never been enough evidence to charge any of the 27,000 men interviewed at the time.[533] The case is still open, with a second police operation, Taskforce Apollo, formed in 2010 to examine new evidence and material from the original Operation Spectrum.[534] If the perpetrator is still alive, he would be between approximately 60 and 75 years old in 2014.[535] The murder of Karmein Chan is still one of the most extensive and expensive investigations in Victorian history, with a combination of investigative errors and the perpetrator's precautions preventing his identification and arrest.[536]
  • Ioan P. Culianu (41), a Romanian American professor of religion at the University of Chicago, was shot in the back of the head in a bathroom of the university's divinity school building on May 21, 1991. While rightist Romanian nationalists in the then-new Romanian government of Ion Iliescu, some of whom openly celebrated his death, and members of the Communist-era Securitate intelligence service were suspected, along with occultists who also clashed with Culianu, no one has ever been formally identified as one.[537]

He was likely a casualty of an ongoing war for control of the Patriarca crime family, but no suspects have ever been charged with the crime.[542]
  • Igor Talkov (34), was a Russian rock singer-songwriter,[543] who was shot backstage at the Yubileiny concert hall in Leningrad on October 6, 1991.[544] While Valeriy Schlyafman, Talkov's one time manager, was found guilty of the murder by a Russian court, he fled via Ukraine to Israel before he could be arrested.[545] He remains in Israel to this day, insisting he is not guilty of the crime while Israel refuses to extradite him. Schlyafman and his supporters have claimed that the KGB orchestrated the murder. Since no one has been charged and it is unclear for sure who the true killer is, the case remains unsolved.
  • Wilson dos Santos had served as the representative of the National Union for the Total Independence of Angola (UNITA), a rebel group in Angola, to Portugal.[546] Wilson dos Santos was murdered in November 1991 by unknown persons.[547] The murder remains unsolved.
  • On December 6, 1991, police in Austin, Texas discovered the bodies of four young women, stripped, bound and shot in the head, after a nighttime fire at a yogurt shop. Eight years later, two suspects were convicted, but those convictions were overturned in 2009 and charges dismissed due to questions about the DNA evidence. No other suspects have ever been named although the investigation is continuing.[548]
  • Katrien De Cuyper (15), disappeared on her way home in Antwerp, Belgium, on the night of December 17, 1991. Her body was found buried in the port of Antwerp six months later. In 1997, Regina Louf confessed to killing De Cuyper while being part of a "paedophile network", but no concrete evidence was found to support her testimony.[435] In 2006, a 35-year-old man was arrested and charged with De Cuyper's kidnapping and murder after it was established that he had written anonymous letters about her to a magazine, but he was later released due to a lack of evidence.[549]
  • Writer Joe Cole (30), was shot and killed on December 19, 1991, during a robbery outside the Venice Beach, California, home he shared with Black Flag lead singer Henry Rollins, who was present and escaped. No suspects have ever been identified.[550]

  • A suicide bomber drove a truck filled with explosives into the Israeli embassy in Argentina on March 17, 1992, killing 29[554] in the deadliest attack ever on an Israeli diplomatic mission. Argentinian officials said they strongly believed Iran was behind the attack. They have not formally prosecuted any suspects, though they suspected that Imad Mughniyah was involved in both this attack and the deadlier AMIA bombing two years later.
  • Anjelica Castillo (4), was discovered in a cooler in Manhattan, New York on July 23, 1992, several days after her death. The victim remained unidentified for 22 years. Her cousin, Conrado Juarez, was arrested for her murder and sexual assault after the remains were identified in 2013. Juarez would later claim his confession was coerced and he died before his trial in 2018, changing his plea to "not guilty".[555] Juarez died in police custody on November 19, 2018, from pancreatic cancer.[556]
  • Exiled Iranian dissident Fereydoun Farrokhzad (53), was found dead of multiple stab wounds in his house in Bonn, Germany, on August 13, 1992. The autopsy established that he had been killed five days earlier. No one has ever been named as a suspect although it is widely believed that he was killed at the behest of the Iranian government.[557] Prior to his murder, Farrokzhad had been involved in producing an opposition radio program and reportedly received death threats. In his show at the Royal Albert Hall in London, he had criticized Ruhollah Khomeini and made fun of Khomeini's obsession with sex in his Ressaleh book. He had consequently received death threats and there were concerns for his safety.[558]
  • Piotr Jaroszewicz (82), a former Prime Minister of Communist Poland, was found murdered along with his wife Alicja Solska at their home in the Warsaw suburb of Anin on September 3, 1992. He had been strangled with a belt, which was still around his neck, after being beaten; his wife had been shot several times with one of the couple's hunting rifles after her hands were tied behind her back. She may have injured one of their attackers, who apparently also tried to kill the couple's dog with poison gas, while fighting back. A safe was left open and documents were taken from it while valuables were left behind. The killings were found to have occurred two days before; friends and family say that Jaroszewicz, who was obsessed with security to begin with, had been acting extremely paranoid in the days before the murders. No suspects have been named.[559]
  • German politicians Gert Bastian and Petra Kelly (Die Grünen) were found dead in their house in Bonn in October 1992.[560] They were both shot in the head. Investigators ruled out third-party involvement and concluded that Bastian first shot Kelly and then himself in an act of murder-suicide, but the circumstances of the case as well as the possible motive remain unclear.[561]
  • Jeremias Chitunda (50), and Elias Salupeto Pena were both representatives of the National Union for the Total Independence of Angola (UNITA), an anti-Communist rebel group that fought against the People's Movement for the Liberation of Angola (MPLA) in the Angolan Civil War, to the Joint Military and Political Commission.[562] Chitunda and Pena were killed on November 2, 1992,[563] and their murder remains unsolved.[564]

  • Brett Cantor (25), part-owner of the Dragonfly nightclub in Hollywood, was found stabbed to death in his nearby home on July 30, 1993;[573] no suspects have ever been identified.[574] The case gained renewed attention a year later when O.J. Simpson's defense team successfully petitioned the court trying him for the murders of Nicole Brown Simpson, his ex-wife, and Ronald Goldman, for access to the case file, on the grounds that the way in which all three were stabbed suggested the same killer.[575] Since Goldman had worked for Cantor as a waiter, and Nicole Simpson was a regular at Dragonfly, some books about the case have raised the possibility that the three killings may also have resulted from involvement in drug trafficking.[576][577][578]
  • The body of Holly Piirainen (10), was found on October 23, 1993, in the woods of Brimfield, Massachusetts. She had disappeared in August while visiting her grandparents in nearby Sturbridge.

  • Miran Hrovatin (44), was an Italian photographer and camera operator killed in Mogadishu, Somalia, together with the Italian journalist Ilaria Alpi (32),[584] under mysterious circumstances on March 20, 1994. In 2000, Somali citizen Hashi Omar Hassan was convicted and sentenced to 26 years in prison for the double murder. In October 2016, a court in Perugia, Italy, reversed the conviction and Hassan was awarded more than three million euros for the wrongful conviction and nearly 17 years he had spent in prison.[585] Both of the murders remain unsolved.
  • Rwandan president Juvénal Habyarimana (57), and Burundian president Cyprien Ntaryamira (39), were both killed when their plane was shot down over Kigali by a surface-to-air missile on April 6, 1994.[586] The assassination was the spark that ignited the Rwandan genocide. Responsibility for the attack is disputed, with most theories proposing as suspects either the Tutsi rebel Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF) or government-aligned Hutu Power followers opposed to negotiation with the RPF. The true perpetrator remains a mystery.
  • Dada Vujasinović (30), was a Serbian journalist and reporter for the news magazine Duga, published in Belgrade.[587] Vujasinović was found dead in her apartment on April 8, 1994, and the murder remains unsolved.[588]

Her ex-husband, former professional football star O. J. Simpson, was arrested and charged with the crime two days later; after an eight-month trial covered heavily by the media, in which the defense argued that there had been extensive mishandling of the evidence and that some investigators were racially biased, he was acquitted. However, strong public sentiment remained that he was guilty, and he was held liable in a suit by the victims' families later. No other suspects have ever been officially named.[594]
  • David Cullen Bain of Dunedin, New Zealand, was initially convicted of the June 20, 1994 murder of his parents and three siblings at their home. Prosecutors claimed he had staged the crime to look like his father had committed a murder-suicide of his family while David was out delivering papers; his defence claimed that murder-suicide was exactly what had happened. With help from former rugby star Joe Karam, David pursued appeals and was eventually acquitted after a 2009 retrial. Other than David and his father, no other person was suspected.[595]
  • The July 18, 1994 suicide bombing of a Jewish organization's building in Buenos Aires killed 85,[596] surpassing the similar attack on the Israeli embassy two years earlier as Argentina's deadliest terror attack. Five suspects, four of whom were local police officers, were acquitted in a 2004 trial; the investigating judge was removed from the case and later impeached after it was disclosed that he had paid for evidence. British authorities arrested an Iranian suspect named by Argentina in 2003, but declined to extradite him due to weak evidence. No other suspects have been named although investigations continue, one of which has since led to the unsolved murder of Alberto Nisman,[597][598] the investigating prosecutor.
  • The day after that bombing, another suicide bomber brought down a plane in Panama, killing 21, 12 of whom were Jews.[599] While an apparently fictitious Arab terrorist organization claimed responsibility, no suspects have ever been identified.
  • Irish crime boss Martin "The General" Cahill (45) was shot and killed at a Dublin intersection on August 18, 1994.[590] The Provisional IRA claimed responsibility, citing Cahill's dealings with the Ulster Volunteer Force; however, it has also been reported that the IRA took exception to this only after being paid by two of Cahill's subordinates who were not eager to share profits from a drug operation with him. No arrests have ever been made.

  • Michael Nigg (26), an aspiring actor and waiter at a Los Angeles restaurant, was shot and killed during an attempted robbery on September 8, 1995, while withdrawing money from an ATM.[613] Three suspects were arrested a month later but released for lack of evidence and the case remains unsolved. Since Nigg was a friend of Ronald Goldman, with whom he had worked, and seemed to live quite well for someone in his position, leading to some reports that he was involved in drug trafficking, his death has been used to support theories that the murders of Goldman and O.J. Simpson's ex-wife Nicole the year before were drug-related as well.
  • The 1995 Palo Verde, Arizona derailment is an incident that took place when Amtrak's Sunset Limited was derailed by saboteurs on Southern Pacific Railroad tracks that happened close to Palo Verde, Arizona on October 9, 1995,[614] that killed car attendant Mitchell Bates while he was sleeping.

  • Paulo Cesar Farias (50), and Suzana Marcolino were both found dead, shot by a .38 Special caliber Rossi revolver in Farias's beach house in Maceió, Brazil on June 23, 1996.[633] The deaths were at first ruled as suicide, but it was later said to be a murder which has yet to be solved.

The investigation became a political issue with opponents of the Suharto regime claiming the dictator himself or other government officials were behind it as retaliation for his reporting on their misdeeds, while the government and police suggested it had been the work of a jealous husband. A suspect arrested on the latter theory was later acquitted, protesting his innocence as his trial revealed some investigation shortcomings, among them that he had been pressured to confess. The police have declined to investigate the case further, saying their responsibility was fulfilled when they arrested the original suspect.

The main suspect, Ian Bailey, has been questioned twice by the Irish authorities in relation to the murder, but the DPP (Director of Public Prosecutions) decided not to prosecute. In early April 2010, the French authorities issued an arrest warrant for Bailey. Later that month, the Gardaí in Ireland arrested Bailey and brought him in front of the High Court in Dublin to appeal his extradition.[638][639] The court sided with Bailey in his appeal in 2012; Bailey then brought a civil suit against the Garda, alleging improprieties in the investigation, which he subsequently lost.[640] Bailey is now expected to be tried in France for the murder during the first half of 2019.[641]
  • JonBenét Ramsey (6), American girl who had competed in child beauty pageants, was found dead in the basement of her parents' home in Boulder, Colorado, on December 26, 1996, nearly eight hours after a ransom note was apparently found and she was reported missing. The coroner listed cause of death as "asphyxia due to strangulation, associated with" a broken skull and concussion. Police suspected the parents of staging the ransom note and strangulation to cover up an accidental killing by either the mother or nine-year-old brother. A 1999 grand jury recommended charging the parents with obstruction and endangerment, but the district attorney declined to prosecute. Discovery of trace DNA from an unknown male in 2003[642] led a new district attorney in 2008 to write an apology to the Ramseys, declaring them "cleared of any involvement".[643] Contradictory evidence seems to support both the family and outside intruder theories, and after several independent investigations, the case is still unsolved as of February 2020.[644]

Cutting marks on the bones, along with slash and puncture marks on a bra found near the body, led investigators to conclude she had been stabbed to death. The case remains open.[655]
  • Jane Thurgood-Dove (34), was shot outside her car, in full view of her young children, as she pulled into the driveway of her home in the Melbourne suburb of Niddrie on November 6, 1997; the killer escaped into a waiting getaway car which was found burnt shortly afterwards not too far away.[656] Her husband and a police official believed to have been infatuated with her have been eliminated as suspects. More recently a theory has been floated that the killers were members of a local biker gang who had mistaken her for their real target, another local woman of similar appearance married to a fellow criminal. Police believe that the shooter and getaway car driver have since died of a heart attack and boating accident, respectively; they have offered the remaining participant immunity if he testifies against the man who they believe ordered the killing.[657]
  • Australian organized-crime boss Alphonse Gangitano (40), the "Black Prince of Lygon Street", was found in his home dead from gunshot wounds shortly before midnight on January 16, 1998, the first of the Melbourne gangland killings.

The majority of Melbourne gangland killings murders are still unsolved as well, although police from the Purana Taskforce believe that Carl Williams was responsible for ten of them.[658]
  • Stephanie Crowe (12), was found stabbed to death in her bedroom in Escondido, California on the morning of January 21, 1998. Since there were no signs of forced entry, police focused on and eventually arrested her older brother Michael and two friends; however, charges against them were abruptly dismissed when later lab tests found several drops of Crowe's blood on a local transient. He was tried and convicted, but the conviction was overturned on appeal and a 2013 retrial acquitted him. The Crowe family reached a legal settlement with San Diego County over the wrongful prosecution of their son. No other suspects have been named.[659]

He had been shot through the right eye. Since no money or valuables were taken, this led to theories that the killer or killers had intended to avenge the death of Rudi Arnstadt, an East German border guard Plüschke had killed with a similar shot during a August 14, 1962, shootout[666] during Plüschke's service as a West German border guard, which got him sentenced to 25 years in prison in absentia by an East German court; West Germany insisted the shooting had been justified as return fire and never extradited him. Plüschke had publicly identified himself as the shooter two years earlier and reportedly received regular death threats afterwards. A Special Commission formed by the German police to investigate was dissolved a year later when it exhausted all its leads; the case remains open.
  • On March 25, 1998, NASCAR driver Chris Trickle (24), died of injuries sustained in a Las Vegas drive-by shooting on February 9, 1997. A quirk in Nevada law at the time meant that the gunmen could not be prosecuted for his murder, since his death had occurred more than a year and a day after the attack; it was subsequently changed. No suspects have ever been identified, and the case is considered cold.[667]
  • Tristan Brübach (13), was last seen alive at Frankfurt Höchst railway station on March 26, 1998, at 3:20 pm. Later that afternoon, his dead body was found near the railway station.

He also testified that some Polish mafia bosses had encouraged the crime. However, in 2013 the indictment against the mafia bosses was dropped due to numerous factual and logical inconsistencies. The murder of Papała remains unsolved.
