\n06. \u00a0The Murder of the Black Dahlia<\/strong>\u00a0– Elizabeth Short<\/strong> aka the Black Dahlia<\/strong> wanted to be a famous actress. \u00a0Although she became famous, it was because she was the victim of one of the most infamous murders<\/strong> of all time.<\/p>\n\n- Short’s<\/strong> nude body was found on a residential street <\/span>cut in half<\/strong> and <\/span>drained of all blood<\/strong>. \u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n- Hundreds of men were questioned but the <\/span>murderer<\/strong> was <\/span>never caught<\/strong>. \u00a0Investigations continue to this day.<\/span><\/li>\n
- I would have placed <\/span>The Murder of the Black Dahlia<\/strong> higher on the list.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/blockquote>\n
\n05. The Murder of\u00a0Tupac Shakur<\/strong> – Tupac Shakur<\/strong> gained fame as a former gang member who became a rapper and was branching out into acting.<\/p>\n\n- Shakur<\/strong> never backed away from his gang affiliations and was gunned down in a drive-by shooting<\/strong> that came after an earlier gang-related altercation the same evening.<\/li>\n
- Tupac’s murderer(s)<\/strong> were never identified.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/blockquote>\n
\n04. \u00a0The Lizzie Borden Murders<\/strong> – \u00a0Over 100 years<\/strong> later, the chant:\u00a0\u201cLizzie Borden<\/strong> took an axe and gave her mother forty whacks, upon seeing what she\u2019d done, she gave her father forty-one\u201d is still known.<\/p>\n\n- Although the counts are wrong and Lizzie Borden<\/strong> was acquitted<\/strong> of the murders, the chant isn’t too far off from the truth. \u00a0Or is it? \u00a0Did Lizzie Borden<\/strong> really kill her parents?<\/li>\n
- We<\/span> may never know and that’s why <\/span>The Lizzie Borden Murders<\/strong> deserves it’s place on this list.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/blockquote>\n
\n03. \u00a0Jack the Stripper<\/strong> – Did you know that in the 1960’s<\/strong> there was a serial killer<\/strong> the press named Jack the Stripper<\/strong> because he killed at least 6 prostitutes and left them nude?<\/p>\n\n- I didn’t either. \u00a0Perhaps then, this case shouldn’t have made the list. \u00a0How famous can it be, if we didn’t know about it?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/blockquote>\n
02. \u00a0The Assassination of Oscar Romero<\/strong> – On March 24, 1980, Oscar Romero<\/strong>, an El Savadorian<\/strong> priest who spoke out against the ruling powers was shot and killed in El Salvidor<\/strong>. \u00a0His killer was never identified.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n01. \u00a0Jack the Ripper<\/strong> – The most famous<\/strong> of all serial killers<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n- For three years, Jack the Ripper<\/strong> \u00a0killed and mutilated his victims and taunted the police through his letters to newspapers.<\/li>\n
- Jack the Ripper<\/strong> inspired scores of movies, books and perhaps <\/span>serial killers<\/strong> and definitely deserves the top spot.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Had I made the list, I would have included The Assassination of President Kennedy<\/strong> and The Killing of Jimmy Hoffa<\/strong>.<\/p>\nSome may argue that the Kennedy assassination<\/strong> was solved with the capture of Lee Harvey Oswald<\/strong>, I would say that due to the huge number of conspiracy theories<\/strong> about the Kennedy Assassination<\/strong> that it deserves a spot on the list.<\/p>\nWhile it is true that it was never proven that Jimmy Hoffa<\/strong> was killed, I think that his disappearance<\/strong> coupled with his mob connections<\/strong> and the unsolved nature of the case<\/strong> would allow it’s inclusion on the list.<\/p>\nSo… what unsolved murder didn’t make the list that you’d put there?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
