Classic Cold Murder Case of Most Interest Poll

[fruity]

A cold case I'm quite intrigued by is the Lord Lucan murder.

Lucan is a puzzler although there's not much mystery about who committed the murder.

 

[STANDREID]

Just what the killer did after.

 

[fruity]

Oh, not the murder itself - just what happened to him after he disappeared.

I chose the Babysitter because it happend in my hometown. However Cleveland has always been an interest of mine.

Yes, remember it in the news - Babysitter that is.

The TV program Dark Minds, to some limited degree, covered the case last year.

It seems like recently we get a new suspect in this case about every year.

1. Sam Sheppard
2. Boston Strangler
3. Zodiac

Although I don't think it is old enough to classify as "classic" Jon Benet Ramsey's murder still fasciinates.

My mother was causal friends with Elizabeth Short (The Black Dahlia) in Long
Beach in the 40's before I was born, so that was probably the earliest case that interested me, but not so much anymore. Maybe because I don't think it will ever be solved, everyone is too long dead at this point, IMO.

I do have Sheppard on my unsolved single murder poll where it presently has 5 votes.

Keddie Cabin 28 murders. And a close second is Villisca Axe murders.

Those both definitely have the creepy factor.

I voted Taman Shud, because something about this case sends a shiver down my spine. I have no idea.

That is an extremely interesting case but I'm a little surprised that it's in the top 5.

The political murders of the 60's JFK, RFK,and MLK.... in all probablity never to be solved..

I'm not familiar with The Babysitter. Anyone have a link? Sounds interesting.

Along with the Percy case, the Bricca family killings in Cincinnati, Sep 1966 really interests me, possibly to be solved: http://www.wcpo.com/news/local-news/coroner-sending-evidence-to-fbi-for-dna-testing-in-bricca-case

From the UK the Janice Weston case from 1983.

 

[Winward1]

Valerie Percy, 1966.

If I could think of another case that had 22 full time investigators on it, perhaps that one, too.

 

[Dreamnine]

Will the Percy case ever be solved?

A Google of Oakland County Michigan Child Murders will gain you dozens of sites to check regarding the case.
