In some letters, he sent ciphers, one of which <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/zodiac-killers-cipher-finally-solved-51-years-later\">wasn\u2019t solved until 2020<\/a> \u2013 51 years after it was sent.<\/p>\n<p>While many people <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2014\/05\/16\/us\/zodiac-killer-son-book\/index.html\">have claimed<\/a> their relatives may be the killer, and a team of journalists and former law enforcement and intelligence officials claim <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/cold-case-team-claims-theyve-identified-the-zodiac-killer-police-arent-so-sure\">to have identified the killer<\/a>, the case remains unsolved.<\/p>\n<p>2) The Somerton Man<\/p>\n<p>Also known as the Tamam Shud case, the Somerton Man refers to a man who was found dead on Somerton Park beach, just outside Adelaide, South Australia.<\/p>\n<p>He was well dressed in a jacket and tie, but all the tags had been removed from his clothes. He had no identification, and in his pockets authorities found unused train and bus tickets, cigarettes, matches, gum, combs, and a torn piece of paper with the words \u201ctam\u00e1m shud\u201d \u2013 a Persian phrase meaning \u201cis finished\u201d \u2013 typed on it.<\/p>\n<p>An autopsy revealed no cause of death and the man went unidentified for decades, until researchers reportedly <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/researchers-believe-they-have-discovered-the-identity-of-the-somerton-man-who-was-found-dead-in-australia-73-years-ago\">solved the mystery<\/a> in July 2022. Though he was identified, how he came to die on the beach is still unknown.<\/p>\n<p>3) The Chicago Tylenol Poisonings<\/p>\n<p>In 1982, Chicago was gripped by a frightening mystery. Seven people who had purchased Tylenol from various pharmacies died. The pills they ingested were found to be laced with potassium cyanide, and the deaths resulted in major reforms to how over-the-counter substances were packaged. Yet to this day, no one knows who planted the poison or who was the intended target.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to new regulations, the case also sparked copycats across the country, including cases of spouses using over-the-counter medication to kill their significant others.<\/p>\n<p>4) JonBenet Ramsey<\/p>\n<p>The death of JonBenet Ramsey \u2013 a six year old beauty pageant queen \u2013 shocked the nation. On December 26, 1996, JonBenet\u2019s mother called police to report the young beauty queen missing after finding a ransom note demanding $118,000 for the safe return of her daughter. Her father, John Ramsey, found JonBenet\u2019s body in the basement later that day.<\/p>\n<p>For years, the Ramseys were suspected of killing their daughter until they were \u201ccompletely cleared\u201d in 2008 by DNA testing. In 2006, John Mark Karr (now Alexis Valoran Reich after coming out as transgender) falsely confessed to killing JonBenet.<\/p>\n<p>To this day, no one knows for sure what happened to the young beauty queen. The case was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/jonbenet-ramsey-murder-now-under-investigation-by-cold-case-team-examining-dna-remnants\">recently handed over to<\/a> the Colorado Cold Case Review Team after John Ramsey petitioned Governor Jared Polis to reopen the investigation into his daughter\u2019s murder.<\/p>\n<p>5) The Boy In The Box<\/p>\n<p>On February 25, 1957, the naked and beaten body of a young boy was found in a box on the side of the road in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He was malnourished and his real age was not determined, but he is believed to have been between 3 and 7 years old. The boy had been freshly groomed, with a haircut and trimmed nails, but was also covered in scars, some of which were surgical.<\/p>\n<p>Police determined the boy was killed by blunt force trauma, but to this day, no one knows his identity or the person or persons who killed him.<\/p>\n<p>6) Tupac Shakur And Biggie Smalls<\/p>\n<p>While it is believed they were killed by two different people, the fact that two of the most famous rappers in the world were murdered just six months apart gets them lumped in together.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Tupac was murdered during a drive-by shooting in Las Vegas, Nevada, on September 7, 1996, while riding in a car with record producer Marion \u201cSuge\u201d Knight. It is believed that an altercation with Crips gang member Orlando Anderson earlier in the night led to Tupac\u2019s murder, and that Anderson was the culprit. Anderson, however, was murdered in 1998, before he could be charged with Tupac\u2019s murder.<\/p>\n<p>As for Biggie Smalls, or the Notorious B.I.G., he was also murdered in a drive-by shooting, but in Los Angeles, California. No one has ever been named as a suspect in his death.<\/p>\n<p>7) The Disembodied Feet<\/p>\n<p>Starting in August 2007, five human feet washed up on a shore near Vancouver, British Columbia. All the feet were still wearing<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There have been nearly 185,000 unsolved homicides and non-negligent manslaughters in the United States since 1980, according to a study of the FBI\u2019s Uniform Crime Report, and hundreds of thousands more worldwide.\u00a0 While every unsolved crime is important, there are some which capture the imagination of the entire country \u2013 or world \u2013 and leave &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":126,"featured_media":1775251,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[541],"tags":[5992,6202,6384,9032,9031,9033,6195],"class_list":["post-1775248","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-daily-wire","tag-authorities","tag-daily","tag-famous","tag-murders","tag-plaguing","tag-unsolved","tag-wire"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1775248","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/126"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1775248"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1775248\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1775251"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1775248"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1775248"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1775248"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
