  • There are certainly some intriguing ones even pre-Bravo such as Sarah Millsom.
    This my opinion and to the best of my knowledge, that is, if I'm not joking.

      I am speaking of unsolved cases here. Of course things like the Lincoln assassination have a major following

      • To be honest,nothing after JTR interests me much.....But I'm a "historical mysteries" type,not a specifically Crime type.............

        • My guess is that Gatton is the least known in America. I only heard about maybe 15 years ago and that was in a British magazine.

          • That "British magazine" being Ripperana.

              You do have to be careful about exclusively using them as a source though because they sometimes include rumors, red herrings and the like.

                • One of my favourites - especially for the mystery element - is the Bogle Chandler case from 1963

                  • Lizzie Borden has always fascinated me. Transcripts of her trial raise more questions than answers. The alternate suspects have included:

                    Miss Emma Borden, Lizzie's sister
                    John Vinnicum Morse, Lizzie's maternal uncle, visiting
                    Bridget ("Maggie") Sullivan, the Borden maid
                    William Borden, the retarded, supposedly illegitimate son of Andrew Borden
                    A strange man in the neighborhood

                    The bottom line is she was tried for the murders and found NOT GUILTY, by a Judge and Jury. She could not have been tried again if she had openly confessed afterwards.

                    But it is a very nagging question of did she or didn't she, and if not whom? Could evidence of the time have convicted her with modern forensics involved? Or would they definitely point the finger elsewhere?

                    There are a great number of well researched books available, both pro and con. You be the judge. As for me, I don't think Lizzie ever felt that there was the slightest chance that she would be found guilty. Could be brazen audacity, faith that no one would convict an upper class lady, or full knowledge of who actually was guilty.
                    And the questions always linger, no real answer in sight

                    • In a similar poll I started on another site that listed JtR, Dahlia is actually tied with Jack for first and Zodiac is only one vote behind them. It's only been up a couple of days though.
                      This my opinion and to the best of my knowledge, that is, if I'm not joking.

                      • Oops, Dahlia just took the lead over on Websleuths.

                          Can I ask the best two pro and con in your opinion? I've also been wondering if there is a sort of 'sugden' type book that's well researched and fact based. Thanks (sorry if this is off topic I don't post much)

                            Hi Tyler:

                            All these are good, at least one names Lizzie, one her illegitimate half-brother, and others speculate on her sister Emma, or the maid Bridgett

                            The Lizzie Borden Sourcebook by David Kent is a Must-Read for the facts of the case, leaves the verdict as "open"

                            The Lizzie Borden "Axe Murder" Trial by Joan Axelrod-Contrada says had to be Lizzie

                            Lizzie Borden: Past and Present by Leonard Rebello stops short of a murder charge


                            Lizzie Borden: The Legend, the Truth, the Final Chapter By Arnold Brown postulates Borden's illegitimate son, Lizzie's half-brother as the killer

                            Did Lizzie Borden Axe For It? by David Rehak explores the other possible suspects

                            The Borden Tragedy: A Memoir of the Infamous Double Murder at Fall River, Mass., 1892 by Rick Barry
