1. The boy in the box
The boy in the box was the victim of a murder in 1957, wrapped in a cradle inside a cardboard box in a field near the Philadelphia Country Road. The boy was between 4 and 6 years old. The box was from the "Penny" store, only 15 miles from the area where the body was found, but detectives were unable to find a buyer. Neither the blanket nor the boy was able to provide more information about his death. No one could even understand when the boy died.
In 2002, a witness appeared who claimed that the boy's parents were the killers. Although her story was detailed and consistent, there was no solid evidence to support the theory.
2. Amber HagermanAmber Rene Hagerman was 9 years old when she was abducted and killed while riding her bicycle in the parking lot of an abandoned market near her grandparents' house in ARlington, Texas, on January 13, 1996. There were no survivors ever identified. Police responded after an anonymous call, claiming that the child was screaming and that a man in the truck had been abducted. Four days after her abduction, Amber's body was found with her throat cut in a ditch. Police have never announced whether there was evidence of sexual abuse. In the past few years, the witness has finally come forward, claiming to have seen the abduction. He told the police that he saw a man in a black truck who grabbed Amber from the bicycle and put her in the truck and ran away. And while her killer has yet to be found, her murder left a legacy that led to the development of the AMber alarm system. The system has helped save more than 500 abducted and missing children since its founding in the United States and several foreign countries.
3. Andrew and Abby Borden4. In August 1892, Andrew and Abby were found brutally murdered in their home with an ax in Massachusetts. Her father was found with 11 stab wounds and cuts on his face, and his stepmother had 19 on the back of her head. Both were turned into a bloody mess. The first blow to both was so powerful that it probably killed them immediately.
Lizzie was immediately a suspect, because the whole town knew about the hatred between her and her stepmother. In addition, during the week of the trial, Lizzie set fire to the dress she claimed contained paint, but prosecutors claimed it was covered in blood, and she burned it to cover up the murder. She was acquitted of all charges and the case was incomplete. She didn't even think that someone treated her as if she were an exile for the rest of her life. She died in 1927, and no one else was a suspect.
4. A man with an ax from New Orleans. The killings took place between 1918 and 1919, and there was not enough evidence to arrest anyone. The executioner abused the city with his crimes, and some local newspapers wrote that it was a demon from hell. Twelve identified victims were found. A man with an ax would come at night, tear off a panel from the door, cut off his head and dismember his victims in his sleep. What confused the police the most was his ritual and signature of his deeds. A series of the same murders took place in Texas and Louisiana in 1911, with 49 victims. Rumor has it that the killer may have been a man named Joseph Momfre, who was eventually killed by the widow of one of his victims.
5. Black Dahlia
The most famous murder of Los Angeles, Black Dahlia, refers to Elizabeth Short, who was killed in 1947. Her body was found in a park in Los Angeles, and her death was often mentioned in public, mainly because of how horrible the murder was. Her body was found naked, in a pose, mutilated and cut in half at the waist. She was completely bloodless and washed.
In 2013, the case made headlines again when police conducted an extensive search of the house of Dr. George Hill (one of the main suspects), where incriminating evidence of the disintegration of the human body was found earlier. Samples of land behind the house were taken for testing. A conversation recorded between Hill and an unknown person is heard when Hill says, "Let's say I killed Black Dahlia. They can't prove it now, they can't talk to my secretary because she's dead. "The craziest part? Hill's son, Steve, was a police officer in this case and was convinced that his father had killed Elizabeth Short. He also believes his father killed dozens of women across the area
