NOTORIOUS FELONIES THAT HAVE PERPLEXED THE GREATEST DETECTIVES Astonishing advances in DNA analysis and forensic technology mean that today there is more reason than ever to believe that an unsolved crime might one day be resolved. And yet still, from outrageous robberies to haunting serial killings, there remain those cases that refuse to be cracked.
Unsolved Crimes
collects together the most notorious and mind-boggling felonies ever committed, to ask questions such as: • Did Lizzie Borden murder her father and stepmother with an axe? • Who shot down Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 over Ukraine? • What was Jack the Ripper’s real identity? • Who stole the Irish Crown Jewels? Each fascinating case is explored with a concise but thorough review of its history, key figures, likely suspects, and some—often-surprising—alternative theories. Unsolved Crimes includes more than 160 photographs, paintings, drawings, and maps, to help budding sleuths piece together a picture of these most baffling cases.
