Mysterious Murder Case
Almost everywhere in the world, there have been serial murder cases that terrorized local residents.
Several cases have been successfully solved by the police, but there are also murder cases that have not yet been solved.
One reason is the limitations of technology when the case occurred.
Other reasons could be due to a lack of evidence or eyewitnesses who are less cooperative.
The following is a list of 10 mysterious murder cases from various countries that have not yet been solved by the police:
1. Jack the Ripper
Jack the Ripper is the most famous series of mysterious serial murder cases in criminal history .
This case was given the name “Jack the Ripper”. The police and local media often received threatening letters with the name “Jack the Ripper”.
This case occurred in London, England from August-November 1888.
Based on various media, this case preyed on prostitutes and mutilated at least 5 women in the East End, London, England.
Even The Morning Post called this serial murder case very “barbaric” because the method of murder was too horrific to explain.
Authorities had suspected that the suspect was a butcher or doctor, because his method of murder required skill with a knife.
The FBI, which analyzed this case, managed to find a common thread that each of the murder victims was a heavy drinker and prostitute.
Even so, the FBI could not find the suspect.
Moreover, forensic technology at that time was still not as sophisticated as it is now.
Until now, historians, criminologists and the FBI have still not been able to unravel the mystery of the serial killer’s identity.

2. The Hinterkaifeck Massacre
The Hinterkaifeck Massacre is one of the mysterious murder cases that still has not been solved.
This case was named “Hinterkaifeck” because the terrible incident occurred on a farm called Hinterkaifeck which is located in the village of Gröbern, about 70 kilometers from Munich, Germany.
In March 1922, local residents found 6 residents beheaded on a farm.
The six victims consisted of 4 adults and a child, all of whom were killed with pickaxes (cutting weapons such as ax blades).
Authorities had suspected that the killer was hiding in a farm barn and luring his victims one by one.
Even more strangely, the killer did not immediately leave the scene, but he spent about 4 days with the bodies and looked after the farmland as if it were his own.
3. The Black Dahlia Murder
A terrible incident occurred in Los Angeles, United States.
At that time there was a naked woman lying at the foot of the sidewalk.
Authorities report that the victim, Elizabeth Short, was 22 years old.
There was not a single drop of blood at the scene or on his body, although several parts of his body appeared to have very neat cut marks.
Hearing this, the newspapers immediately made the incident headline news and nicknamed this case “Black Dahlia” because the victim had black hair and liked to wear black clothes.
The FBI, which investigated this case, said that the victim was operated on professionally.
Ironically, many people claim responsibility for this horrific murder cas .
The FBI, which received the report, found it difficult to investigate the suspects’ confessions.
However, until now, the FBI still has not found the truth and identity of the main perpetrator in the Dahlia case.
It was so mysterious, this murder case was made into a novel which was then made into a film starring Josh Hartnett, Hilary Swank, Aaron Eckhart, and Mia Kirshner.
4. The Zodiac Killer
The Zodiac Killer is a very strange killer. Instead of avoiding the spotlight, he enjoys being in the spotlight, leaving behind evidence, and terrorizing the media and police for fun.
This case occurred in 1968-1969 in San Francisco, United States.
The authorities say there are at least five murder cases related to him.
However, Zodiac admitted to having killed 37 people.
Zodiac really enjoyed his violent actions for about a year.
Strangely, every time he succeeded in killing a victim, he would send evidence, codes and mocking letters to the police.
Even though they have received a lot of evidence and codes from the perpetrator himself, the authorities have still not found any clarity in uncovering the case.
5. The Mad Butcher
The Mad Butcher was the cruelest killer from Kingsbury Run, Cleveland, Ohio in the 1930s.

It could be said that this area is the best destination for homeless people.
The situation in this city suddenly changed after 13 homeless people died in tragic conditions, stabbed, cut, beheaded, and several victims were also castrated.
It is difficult for the authorities to find a common thread in this case, because each victim does not have the same connection.
The killer randomly kills men and women in gruesome ways.
The only similarity is that all the victims were homeless people on Kingsbury Run.
6. Monsters of Florence
The Monster of Florence is a mysterious serial murder case that is famous in Europe.
This case occurred from 1968 to 1985, where the monster hunted around the city in an obsessive manner before attacking its victims from behind the shadows.
Not always targeting people walking alone in the city, he also attacked and killed a couple by stabbing and shooting excessively with a 22 caliber Beretta .
What’s even more terrifying is that the Florence monster has a fetish for taking sexual organs from women which he uses as motivation to kill.

In the late 1990s, the music industry was shocked by the murder cases of rappers Tupac Shakur and Notorious BIG who were shot dead 6 months apart.

At that time, Death Row (record label) was at odds with its competitor, Bad Boy.
Six months later, Christopher Wallace of Bad Boy, often called Notorious BIG, Biggie Smalls or Biggie, was murdered in the same way, shot dead while driving after leaving a music event in Los Angeles.
