Infamous Crimes Never Solved

Throughout history, there were a number of murder cases that shocked, repulsed and thrilled the public, but they had one unfortunate thing in common–they were never solved. Top Tenz host Simon Whistler details eight such murders, including the especially sinister Texarkana Moonlight Murders, along the Texas-Arkansas border in the mid-1940s. Dubbed a serial killer at the time, the alleged suspect preyed on young couples in secluded areas over two decades. He shot all of his victims, but amazingly some survived. The case was eerily compared to northern California’s Zodiac killer, but despite having a solid suspect, police could never tie him to the murders.

Even with falling crime rates and the emergence of new crime-fighting technology, the FBI reports that more than half of our nation’s violent crimes go unsolved and unpunished. Many thousands of criminals are literally getting away with murder: From 1980 to 2008, nearly 185,000 cases of homicide and non-negligent homicide went unsolved.

And yet distractions abound. From speed traps to seat belt checkpoints, officers’ actions often blur the lines between “peace keeping” and “revenue raising.” Those who helm law enforcement agencies are always looking for the next way to expand their purview. And then there are the long-standing, commonplace distractions, like busting drug users, dealers, and prostitutes. Don’t cops have better things to do?
