For over two decades, nine murders that no one realized were connected went unsolved. It would take dedicated detectives and advances in DNA technology to solve them.

In October 2006, the woman of a body was found on fire. No one knew who she was. She was given the name Jane Doe. It would take a group of strangers to identify her.

In December 1980, John Riggins and his girlfriend, Sabrina Gonsalves, were brutally murdered. Were their murders the work of copycat killers trying to make a serial killer couple look innocent?

In this week's episode, we look at two cases that went cold, and then with the help of a special group of people called The Vidocq Society, the cases were eventually solved.

In 1968, 22-year-old Wendy Jo Halison was murdered in Los Angeles, California. Had her killer been caught right away, several lives probably would have been saved.

In our second case, we look at the 1983 murder of 40-year-old Priscilla Strole. The identity of her killer would shocked her entire city. 

Killer Psyche is a new weekly true crime podcast from Wondery that explores the minds behind infamous killers and criminals. They cover high-profile cases that have shocked the world, and host Candice Delong uses her five decades of experience as a clinical psychiatric nurse and FBI Criminal Profiler to dissect the motivations and behaviors of the most terrifying felons in history. In a recent episode, Candace examines the mind of Ed Gein, the notorious murderer who inspired the movies "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" and Alfred Hitchcock's "Psycho." Candace dives deep into Gein’s mind — and how his mental illnesses led to his obsession with grave-robbing and murder.

When Jeanine Nicarico was kidnapped and murdered in 1983, it was the only the beginning of the nightmare.

September 1977 and March 1978, 18 people were killed or abducted in Ohio and Pennsylvania. The police suspected that one committed all the murders - Edward Surratt.

Even though they had a suspect, it would still take decades for the police to close the cases.
