Still Unsolved True Crime Cases #462971

Everyone loves a good mystery, but what happens when a mystery never has a satisfying ending?

Murders are always disturbing, but some are even worse than that. These killings were brutal, almost unimaginable in their depravity. The crimes horrified communities and stumped police — leaving questions that lingered for decades afterward, as years passed without an arrest or even a credible suspect.

Some of the most horrific true crime stories come from serial criminals—killers, rapists, arsonists. But there are some crimes with behavior so bizarre, so unsettling, that they could prevent you from sleeping ever again. While many of these legendary tales get overshadowed by more infamous cases, these terrible true crime cases of years past will remind you that horror comes in all different, terrible shapes and sizes.

These real-life cases may keep you up all night.

Investigators don't even know where to begin with these unsettling mysteries.

There is an immutable law, a fact of life and (suspicious) deaths: We are obsessed with unsolved crimes and troubling mysteries.

The internet as a whole has done a great job of gathering those mysteries in various collections, often analyzing every clue in minute detail. The Zodiac Killer (certainly a mystery that merits scrutiny), the Black Dahlia, or the case of JonBenet Ramsey. Theories and musings abound.

But the sad thing is that much of that attention, most of that theorizing, is directed at a relatively small number of unsolved crimes and conundrums. Deaths that may or may not be natural, that kind of thing. There are plenty of equally intriguing cases that seem forgotten, save by cops hovering over cold case files or hardcore true crime devotees and amateur sleuths.

Why not join their ranks and see what you can figure out?
