    This my opinion and to the best of my knowledge, that is, if I'm not joking.

    Hi Stan, that's quite some menu.
    But you seem to have missed the Mad Yorkshire Nude Phantom Torso Axe Slayer.
    I'm sure there was one.
    On a serious note, I have voted for the Bravo Case.

        Hi Stan, without wanting to detract from your thread I've recently bought a book called The Adirondack Tragedy - The Gillette Murder Case of 1906. Have you heard of this? I haven't got round to reading it yet as I'm on another book at the moment. Is it worthy of the "unsolved mysteries" category?

          Hi Jez,

          That case was covered on the old Unsolved Mysteries TV program but it had something to do with grace Brown's supposed ghost.

            Can it be more than one?

            I couldn't narrow it down, as none of these were on the list.

            I concur with the Bravo case, but I'm also probably equally interested in the Bartlett case and the Hall/Mills mystery.

              Hi LT,

              You can do as you wish. I had to hold my list at 10 and Hall-Mills was the last one I eliminated.

                  Hi Stan & all,

                  Although the Zodiac and Black Dahlia cases remain intriguing, I voted Some Other Case: the Monster of Florence.

                  All the best,
                  Frank

                      Dear Professor Reid,sor...

                      I would have put down "Who Nailed Jesus?"...only because I got that baby down to two suspects...The Romans or The Jews.

                      Seriously though....I'd go with Mike's "Thames Torso" or our "Cleveland Torso".

                        I voted Other case: Kennedy assassination.

                        Wot's Lizzie Borden doing there? When the case is named after the perp, can it be classified as 'unsolved'?

                          Just thought i'd put a vote/post up for 'Jack the Stripper' certainly the case that interests me most mystery wise after JtR.

                            With all the potential cases and a 10 poll limit, I figured "Other" would lead the pack but nothing wrong with that.
                            This my opinion and to the best of my knowledge, that is, if I'm not joking.

                              I guess it's sort of like "The Oscar Slater Case".
