The best unexplained and unusual historical mysteries.
Belle married in 1884 in Chicago, and the marriage produced at least two children (most, if not all, of her children were adopted). Two of her children died young from symptoms that indicated colitis. Belle collected on their life insurance. In 1900, her husband died. One doctor suspected poisoning, but the family doctor gave the official cause of death as heart failure.
Between 1986 and 1989, at least eight individuals and possibly an additional four more were killed in the Colonial Parkway area of Virginia. The serial killer has never been found and the Colonial Parkway murders remain unsolved.
One of the reasons why The Ripper so appeals to the public imagination is that he was the first killer who branded himself.
Continuing in the grand tradition of Jack the Ripper and Dusseldorf Vampire Peter Kurten – and foreshadowing BTK – The Zodiac sent the press and the police ingenious and mocking letters publicizing his kills.
