Most intriguing unsolved non-JtR serial killer cases

[sdreid]

Now I see they have a second DNA "match" in Babysitter except it's a different person who has no known connection to the other.

[sdreid]

I see that they have a 99% DNA match between a small time criminal and material found on one of the Babysitter victims. Since the man has no record regarding sex or violent crimes, there is some disagreement as to the significance of this finding.

[sdreid]

That crime is suspected to possibly be the work of a serial killer.

The Springfield Three Case began 20 years ago today.

Yes, I think that one will big as long as it's unsolved.

Hi all,

JtR would certainly be one of the most intriguing unsolved serial killer cases but here are my 10 besides him followed by approximate year(s) and location(s).

10-The Babysitter (1976-77) Michigan
9-Bible John (1968-69) Scotland
8-The Boston Strangler (1962-64) Massachusetts
7-The Original Nightstalker (1979-85) California
6-The Cincinnati Streetcar Killer (1904-10) Ohio
5-Zodiac (1968-69) California
4-The New Orleans Axeman (1918-19) Louisiana
3-Jack the Stripper (1963-65) England
2-The Texarkana Phantom Killer (1946) Texas/Arkansas
1-The Cleveland Torso Slayer (1934-38) Ohio

Please add

The long island serial killer. Case is recent/ongoing and VERY bizarre. 10 bodies discovered, half unidentified, including a toddler and a male in a dress, some remains there as long as 15 years, police beleive could actually be two seperate killers. The killer using one of his victims cell phones to call and taunt from Times Square her younger sister.

The missing girl (who was also a call girl)who started the search that led to the finding of the bodies was also the last body found and police believe that her death was an accident?!?
Very, Very strange.

Both nurses were actually found guilty of the murders but those convictions were later overturned and no further charges were brought.

I have recently developed a passing interest in the 1975 Ann Arbor Hospital Murders. The case is officially unsolved but it's difficult for me not to think that the two women who were originally charged did it.

[sdreid]

Actually the 140 started with potential murder of King Tut in 1323 B and ended with the slaying of Dalton Mesarchik in 2003.

I had a similar list that I assembled in 2001 called The World's Ten Most Wanted For All Time.

It was a selected top ten from 140 cases on 14 ten most wanted lists from 14 periods in history.

[sdreid]

Just in my case, I confined my wanteds to murderers.

[sdreid]

In addition to the aforementioned, Carl Menarik, Alois Brunner and Belle Gunness were on my list. Ramsey and Cooper were not nor were Jack the Stripper or Zodiac although they just missed.

[sdreid]

My #2 was Osama bin Laden but he has been accounted for in the interim.

[sdreid]

I have a list of what I like to call "History's Most Wanted". I thought is sounded catchy. There are other cases I'm interested in, but they're either solved, or pseudo-solved. I'll list them after the top ten, which comes in no particular order:


1.) Jack the Ripper
2.) Bela Kiss
3.) Axeman of New Orleans
4.) Cleveland Torso Murders
5.) Black Dalia
6.) JonBenet Ramsey
7.) Zodiac
8.) Dan (D. B.) Cooper
9.) Texarkana Moonlight Murders
10.) Jack the Stripper

I had a similar list that I assembled in 2001 called The World's Ten Most Wanted For All Time.

All your top 5 were on my list. My #1, #5 and #9 matched yours. I also had three others that were on both our lists except in different positions.

[sdreid]

At one time I think he was the top suspect but I'm not so sure of that now.
