The Thames Nude Body Case (1959-1965) The culprit was referred to in the papers as "Jack who stripped the body," and the case occurred in London from June 1959 to February 1965.

He was strangled to death by asphyxia, and all the deceased were prostitutes.

The suspect was a well-known boxer named Fred Mills, who died shortly after the murder was thwarted.

The murderer seemed to have operated alone, driving a caravan across downtown London.

In one case, authorities tracked down the location where the body was discovered – a warehouse in an industrial London neighborhood – but the trail ended there.

John Ross, the sheriff in charge of the investigation, believes the perpetrator committed suicide after the last murder.

He has also intimated that the murderer's name has been discovered, although the case has never been made public.

Shirley Collins, a fourteen-year-old girl residing in Melbourne, Australia, was invited to her first adult party on September 12, 1953.

The boy who had invited her set a meeting time for 8 p.m. at Richmond Station, not far from Melbourne.

But she never arrived. The next morning, her nude body was discovered 40 kilometres from Melbourne.

She was smashed to death with a beer bottle, and despite the fact that her garments were destroyed all over, there was no trace of rape.

The case's enigma is what transpired in the 10 hours between when her mother dropped her out at the bus terminal at 7 p.m.

What happened the next morning when her body was discovered?

She will never depart with a stranger since she is a timid and shy girl. When she said good-by to her mother, she reportedly mentioned that she was going to meet her lover Ron at West Richmond Station.

Because West Richmond Station and Richmond Station are totally different locations, she may have gone to the wrong one.

Even yet, people have to wonder why, if she didn't wait for her partner, she didn't rush back by automobile.

The Wallace Case (1931) Julia Wallace's murder reads like a detective story: Wallace received a curious phone from the chess club one day, requesting him to push contact someone at a location.

Mr. Wallace's wife was brutally murdered at home after he departed, and the motive for the crime was unknown.

Wallace went to a fictitious address.

Wallace was also tried, but he was declared not guilty by a London court. Some experts now believe that the individual who murdered Mrs Wallace is still alive and well, most likely in London.

Missing Pages (1947) From a psychological standpoint, the situation in Los Angeles in January 1947 is intriguing.

The murder was heinous: the corpse was severed at the waist, and the girl (Elizabeth Short) was hanging upside down while still alive and tormented in every manner conceivable.

The murderer was never apprehended by the police.

In reality, the killer later sent the deceased's address book to the police station, and the police examined everyone on it, but to no effect.

Finally, the cops discovered that a page from the address book had been taken out.

The Murder of a Woman in a Truck in Brighton (1934) is another of the most enigmatic killings.

It was meant to be solved, yet it is still a mystery.

The odor drifted from a vehicle parked near to Brighton train station on June 17, 1934, prompting suspicion.

The cops discovered the body of a lady in her twenties.

She was clearly a girl of high status based on her attire, and she was still three months pregnant.

Despite the greatest efforts of UK authorities, the identity of the dead has never been established.

She was also covered with olive oil to halt bleeding, and it appeared that the killer was a doctor.

There is proof that the vehicle drove across London Bridge.

In what was later described as a "perfect murder," police investigated for years but uncovered no clues to the perpetrator or the identify of the corpse.
