Bela Kiss of Austria-Hungary was a serial killer of women who pickled their bodies in large drums behind his rented house. In 1914, he enlisted in the Austria-Hungarian army and left his home and possessions in the care of his landlady.
She thought that the large drums contained gasoline, a needed resource by the army. When troops from an army arrived to appropriate the drums, they found inside one of them the preserved body of a young woman who had been murdered. Subsequent investigation revealed a total of 24 such murders.
Arrested as a possible accomplice, the landlady professed innocence and gave investigators what information she knew about Bela Kiss. A search for him in army records and units led to his being hospitalized in Serbia. When Bela Kiss got word that his crimes had been discovered, he switched identities with another soldier who had died in hospital and disappeared. He was never found.
What became of him? Did he continue to kill?
