The Atlas Vampire Case
Mystery Of World
In 1932 in Stockholm, Sweden, an unnamed 32-year-old prostitute was found dead approximately 48 hours after her murder. Though murders of prostitute weren’t that rare at the time, the woman who had been killed by a crushing blow to the skull had attracted significant media attention as it appeared in the autopsy note that the killer had apparently been drinking the woman’s blood. Due to the absence of forensic technology and the lack of witnesses, this spine-chilling mystery remained unsolved.
"The Black Dahlia"
was a nickname given to Elizabeth Short, an American woman who was the victim
of a much-publicized murder in 1947.
Hollywood's most
famous murder case unfolded on January 15, 1947 when the raven-haired,
22-year-old actress Elizabeth Short was found dead on Norton Avenue between
39th and Coliseum streets in Los Angeles. Her body had been cut in half and
appeared to have been drained of blood with precision. The murderer had also
cut 3-inch gashes into each corner of her mouth, creating a spooky clown-esque
smile.
Her body was found
mutilated, sliced with surgical precision and drained of blood on January 15,
1947 in Leimert Park, Los Angeles, California. The oldest unsolved case in LA
was the subject of widespread speculations that led to a number of suspects but
no convictions.
Jack the Stripper
Jack the Stripper is the nickname given to an
unidentified serial killer responsible for what came to be known as the London
"nude murders" between 1964 and 1965 (also known as the
"Hammersmith murders" or "Hammersmith nudes" case).
1888 was a bad year to be a
prostitute. Between August 7 and November 10 of that year, five women were
killed in the Whitechapel district of London's East End, their throats slashed
and their bodies mutilated in a way that indicated they all met their fates at
the hands of the same person. One victim's kidney was even mailed to the
police, along with a series of taunting notes penned by someone calling himself
Jack the Ripper. Serial murder was a relatively new phenomenon and the attacks
were highly publicized. The law's failure to identify the killer led to such an
outcry that both the home secretary and London police commissioner resigned in
disgrace.
JonBenet Ramsey
JonBenet Patricia Ramsey (August 6, 1990 – December 25, 1996) was
a six-year-old American girl who was murdered in her home in Boulder, Colorado,
in 1996. Police found her body in the basement of the family home about eight
hours after she was reported missing. She had been struck on the head and
strangled
Almost twelve years have passed since Dec. 26, 1996, when John
Ramsey, a wealthy software executive, found his 6-year-old daughter JonBenet
dead in the basement of their Boulder, Colo. home. Eight hours prior, his wife
Patsy had found a ransom note demanding $118,000 for their daughter's safe return.
No call ever came from a kidnapper. So unraveled the saga of the young beauty
queen whose murder has put a cloud over her entire family, the Boulder Police
Department and the District Attorney in charge of solving the case.
Investigators in Boulder — who were dealing with the city's first murder that
year — failed to conduct a proper search of the house and even allowed friends
of the family to walk in and out of the crime scene as the family and police
waited for a ransom call.

letters included four cryptograms Of the four cryptograms sent, only one has
