Before modern forensics came into play, getting away with murder was maybe just a little bit easy…especially in the early 1920’s and 30’s. If a killer knew where to hunt, finding victims was as simple as driving to the store. And while murder in of itself is horrible, there’s something to be said when the killer takes delight in dismembering their victims, and something else to be said when that killer(s) is never caught.

In the 20’s and 30’s, Cleveland, Ohio was home to such a monster. Dubbed as the “Cleveland Torso Murders or Murderer” whoever this person was, racked up a tally of at least twelve victims and perhaps upwards of twenty. Some of those victims were never identified.
