Another famous unknown serial killer is The Mad Butcher of Kingsbury Run/The Cleveland Torso Murderer.
Bob Ducca:
Assuming you are excluding Simpson, are you of the opinion that Lizzie Borden’s acquittal was more realistic than O.J. Simpson’s? Or do you exclude him because of the later wrongful death verdict, which didn’t apply to Lizzie?
I’d say that we know enough about the Simpson case to surmise that he most likely killed those two people.
I don’t know enough about the Borden case to say one way or the other.
Not technically or any other way. Not round these parts. (Your jurisdiction may vary)
Not Criminal Sexual Contact either:
At best it could be considered harassment.
Let me re-phrase then:
This seemingly innocent photo of joyous celebration is actually a depiction of a man forcing himself on a woman.
And it’s not assault in Appalachia, or where the fuck ever.
New Jersey. But I looked at the laws in New York where it happened and the wording is almost exactly the same. So yeah, only in the sticks with the hicks.:rolleyes:
I am so a real person. I however am both and neither a famous painting or a character from The Simpsons.
Orange Socks, another famous victim.
The Leatherman (no relation to Leatherface)
Before Jack the Ripper, there was the Servant Girl Annihilator.
The aptly-designated Anonymous IV, famous in classical music circles.
And I don’t know if this counts, but Julian of Norwich. Despite her well-known writings, we don’t know her real name or much about her life.
I don’t know if the real Boston Strangler has been listed yet in this thread. The evidence is good that Albert DeSalvo was not the killer of all, or perhaps any of the victims.
Cracked’s latest article has more of this type of people:
Who is Satoshi Nakamoto, the anonymous person or group that created Bitcoin, released it, and then promptly disappeared. I’ve seen estimates that whoever it is may be worth over £100 million now, based on the current value of Bitcoin.
That sounds like the name of the world’s most dangerous domestic appliance…
Shouldn’t post without reading the thread, but dammit, 4 pages is a bit much. So…has anyone mentioned *B. Traven*yet?
I don’t know if this has been addressed and I missed it, but that woman was Hazel Frederick.
There were a few Anasazi potters so distinctive that archaeologists can tell their work from others - I don’t know if that counts as famous, though.
…[[Already solved]]…
Not “famous” but has anybody ever ID’d “Amber Lamps”?
It seems like it would be easy enough to look for a Sarah Graham in the 1940 census, whose family matches the anonymous info on her grave.
I don’t want to join ancestry.com, but somebody could do it.
Being as the recent Cracked article mentions him also, I’ll add that there’s good evidence that Ret Marut was an alias just like B. Traven was.
