One unsolved serial murder case is the Cleveland Torso Murder or the Mad Butcher. The killing took place in the Kingsbury Run slum, Cleveland. For four years, the real culprit could never be identified and tried. There were at least 13 victims, all of whom were brutally murdered. They were all found with severed heads and dismembered bodies.
Between 1935–1938, the serial killer acted in the Kingsbury Run area, Cleveland, Ohio. The serial killer was known for his sadistic actions. He beheaded his victims while still alive, some castrated, and all the victims were found in a state of no longer intact bodies.
