Has anyone seen that show? I saw some of it but I was wondering waht the whole lineup was.

The Mystery of the Mummy....

oh wait, Scoobydoo....sorry...

huh? is that like law and order?

huh? is that like law and order?


It tells of true unsolved crime mysteries in a countdown of the top ten of them.

Law & Order is better.

BUMP.

Jack the Ripper, definitely. He scares me still.

Yeah he was scary.

I'm hoping someone comes on here with the whole list from the show because that show is never on anymore. I watched a lot of it though, like the first half. I remember it like this.

10. The Marilyn Sheppard Murder
9. Jack The Ripper (you would think he'd be higher)
8. The Disappearance of Jimmy Hoffa
7. The Green River Killer
6-1. ?

What about the black dahlia murder they never solved that at all.

the actually think they've found ole' jimmy now

The Zodiac Killer. All the way, man!

What about the black dahlia murder they never solved that at all.
there was a book published recently where a guy claimed his dad killed the black dahlia

Hoffa, got to be Hoffa. Not only is it unsolved, I don't even know of a credible theory.

What about the black dahlia murder they never solved that at all.

there was a thread about that recently...someone posted an interesting link to an article about it...I don't know how factual it was, but it looked like they had a good lead a while after the murder took place, but then he died
Maybe the person that posted the link knows...

what did the zodiac killer do?

they never found the zodiac killer?

maybe im thinking of the hillside strangler?

what did the zodiac killer do?I'm not familiar with it but, I assume killed people. :lol:

He was the one with "multiple personalities"?
That was in my psych book...he said he had two personalities, then the psychologist said that in order to be classified as MPD, a person has to have three personalities, and whatta you know? He developed a third almost immediately...

zodiac killer was never found, hillside strangler died in prison in '92
i was thinking of richard ramierez, the nightstalker
he was caught in an hispanic neighborhood of....los angeles?
and they kicked the shit out of him until the police came. my favorite way to deal with serial killers

they just sentenced the green river killer to life without parole a few months ago

i chose "other."

any of you folks ever heard of D. B. Cooper?

He was a man that nobody knew at all, who appeared at an airport, calmly wrote a message to a flight attendant with a bomb threat to get the crew's attention, and controlled the course of the flight through these notes. None of the handful of people whom he spoke to could accurately describe his voice. He had the plane land, where the FBI gave him fabulous amounts of ransom money, and he ordered the pilot to take off. He had also picked up two parachutes, and after directing the plane to a certain area of the woods he opened the tail hatch midflight and jumped out. He was never seen again.

while there's wild speculation about the crimes on the poll, there's barely any about D. B. Cooper because nobody could even imagine who he was, where he came from, why he did it, or where he is now. the perfect crime.

Jack the Ripper, definitely. He scares me still.

Jack the Ripper?!!! Where?!!!!!!!!!!

*glances around and shivers*

they just sentenced the green river killer to life without parole a few months ago

I knew they were close to finding the guy, but they already did. Oh.

They thought they found the zodiac killer when he was on his death bed. But he swore he wasn't and he said he knew who it was right before dying.

I think they're all "big". All of these crimes meant something to somebody. You can't just classify: oh this is big, or that one looks bigger.

any of you folks ever heard of D. B. Cooper?

How do you know his name?

That's not his name. It's the case.

Why wasn't the bastard put to death.

Others.
Who killed king AlbertI now that we know that the king was allready dead and brought to the rocks were he often climbed. Why was the body not photographed by a police doctor? When they even did it with normal people that die under such conditions?

Why wasn't the bastard put to death.

i think because he agreed to give a full accounting of all the murders and help locate any bodies still missing. the prosecuters must have figured it was worth it to have all aspects of the case wrapped up.

Why does the case have a man's name?

Oh. Well that guy's smart. 49 murders go unsolved since 1986 or something, right. And then he doesn't even get executed for them.

You have to throw in DB Cooper.


:oops: Opps guess I should have read page two...move along nothing to see hear, move along

Why does America have so many serial killers today? :?

I assume you meant to take that to my other thread.

but a really boring man, from the stuff i've seen on him he isn't the least bit colorful or interesting. he just methodically killed almost 50 women, then when he was finally caught confessed to them all in a terse unembelished monotone.

not good enough for a movie, eh? :roll:

Why does America have so many serial killers today? :?

a very mobile alienated culture where the killers can find strangers for victums who are alone, vulnerable and won't be missed for a while, coupled with decent law enforcement which doesn't eventually see patterns in apparently random murders and disappearances.

prostitutes are often just the easiest victums. they have close contact with strangers(infact go to secluded areas with them). they are often not missed quickly. they don't generally leave much documentation of their recent personal contacts. they are considered of low value by the society and the authorities, therefore their cases don't get much attention until there is a pattern. they are often victums of other sources of violence so a few deaths doesn't create the same obvious pattern the murder of college students or respectable townsfolk would.

Other thing is, people think of prostitution as immoral and low class. So no one really cares SO much if a prostitute dies. It's unfortunate because they are human too.
