    I was thinking that MoF was mentioned but maybe that was another thread. Some people think it's solved so I don't know if that's the issue.
    This my opinion and to the best of my knowledge, that is, if I'm not joking.

      According to my records, there were eight murders in 1884-85.

        Strangely, unsolved serial murders were almost nonexistent in the 1950s. In fact, the Atteridgeville Mutilator, who killed six in South Africa during 1956, is about it.

          Regarding the 1950s, I should note that some tie the Grimes Sisters murders and the Judith Anderson slaying together as the Chicago Child Killings or the Matinée Murders in 1956-57. Personally, I doubt that they are connected.

            AKA The Double Initial Killer although you might say Triple Letter Slayer if you include the dump locations.

              There were some who may have finished up or started in the 50s like Cleveland Torso who may have committed his final murder in 1950 of Jack the Stripper who could have began with a slaying in 1959. Both these examples are highly speculative.

                As per another thread, there's supposed to be a movie in the works on this one. We'll have to wait and see.

                  This is the oldest true serial killer case that is completely unsolved I can think of. Can anyone think of an older one?

                    Newton's The Encyclopedia of Serial Killers lists the Ratcliffe Highway Murders from 1811, which are technically unsolved, but since they occurred in a 12 day period I would call them spree killings rather than a serial.

                      Maybe spree mass murders would be even more correct.

                        It appears that the so-called Grim Sleeper Case has finally been solved.

                          Or at least, Lonnie David Franklin Jr. has been arrested in connection with the crimes.

                            I submitted Maskenmann to ESK so it should be in there if there's ever a Third Edition.

                              Mr. Newton said in his email to me that the chance of a Third Edition of ESK is still up in the air.

                                Just popped in for a second. Interesting thread. If you rely on television documentaries to provide all the facts in a case, don't. They usually have biased premise that almost always attacks the historic, and accepted, view. It's a one-sided presentation, like a jury hearing only from the defendant's attorney. The case of the Boston Strangler is a case in point. No one who has studied the complete history of the case, reviewed the police reports and - most importantly - read the complete transcript of DeSalvo's confessions, can ever doubt that he and he alone committed all of the murders attributed to the Strangler. Since the case was solved by DeSalvo's confessions, it certainly cannot compare with JTR.
                                Sorry, I cannot agree with this. I think the confession was bogus and I am entirely unconvinced that de Salvo was the Strangler. Actually I doubt if de Salvo ever murdered anyone, altho he did commit other crimes.

                                DNA has pretty much cleared him of the last "Strangler" murder (that of Mary Sullivan), and I'm beginning to agree with some researchers who think that in fact there was more than one "Boston Strangler".

                                I also find it extremely suspicious that de Salvo was murdered in prison (the murder is still unsolved, BTW!!) shortly before he was allegedly going to "spill the beans" to the press.

                                I think someone wanted de Salvo to keep his mouth shut, and that someone may well have been a Mr. George Nassar. (Wanna sue me, George? Please do...I could use the money lol!)
