Overviewt's the curious details of a murder case that transfix true-crime obsessives. Some have elements that are particularly violent, bloody, gruesome, and unsettling. Worse, some slaying remains unsolved, meaning that the perpetrator disappeared into the night after the deed was finished. This volume examines five instances of a single or serial killing involving victims who were beheaded by their killers: The Thames Torso Murders: Known as the Thames Mysteries or Embankment Murders, this series of gruesome killings was overshadowed by the terror surrounding Jack the Ripper's crimes but were also very fascinating. The August 8, 1886 discovery of a decomposing male torso outside Wallingford, Connecticut. The victim was never identified, and a woman who claimed that she knew the whole story behind the murder committed suicide. The Mad Butcher of Kingsbury Run: Between 1935 and 1938, a still-unidentified serial killer murdered and dismembered at least twelve victims in Cleveland, Ohio. All but three remain unidentified. Eliot Ness, the man who was partly responsible for taking down Al Capone, headed the investigations.
