6 Serial Killers That Were Never Caught

6. The Servant Girl Annihilator.

Austin, Texas residents were in shock over an apparently never-ending string of violent murders between 1884 and 1885. Every murder occurred while the victims were supposedly safe in their own beds. O Henry came up with the moniker Annihilator for the servant girl in a letter he wrote to a friend. Apart from the frequent invasions of the maid Annihilators, the town is dreadfully boring. They keep things interesting during the gloomy nighttime hours.

The killings abruptly stopped on Christmas Eve 1885. Some others think they only stopped when he got on a ship to start his terror campaign somewhere else.

5. The Oakland County Child Killer, also known as the Babysitter

The worst dread of any parent is losing a child. Tragically, that nightmare came true for four families in Oakland County, Michigan.

Four children were abducted and killed during a 13-month period. The deaths led to the biggest murder investigation in American history at the time. Many witnesses came forward, but they offered no firm evidence. According to a witness, one of the lads was talking to a man in a blue AMC Gremlin, which prompted authorities to track down every gremlin owner in the nation.

Other leads concerning the cause of the abductions have ranged from pedophile rings to demonic rituals. Nonetheless, solutions regarding the killer or killers are still elusive.

4. Charlie Chop-off.

Black American lads were the sole victims of this violent attacker. His horrifying reputation stemmed from the terrible harm he would cause to his victims. Nonetheless, one of Charlie's victims did live through his attack. Police also detained a suspect named Erno Soto in 1974. kidnapping a Puerto Rican boy while being caught in the process. For interrogation, Soto was brought in. The youngster who survived claimed he might have resembled his assailant, but he was unsure.

The Manhattan State Hospital, a mental health facility where Soto was a prisoner, maintained that Soto could not be guilty despite confessing to one of the murders, however, they did note that it was possible he may have escaped on their watch.

3. The Long Island serial killer, also known as the Craigslist Ripper.

This murderer has a long history of crime. A police canine in training discovered the first body in 2010. Soon after, detectives discovered more in the vicinity, raising the prospect of a serial killer. After the region was investigated further, fragments of remains were discovered all throughout Suffolk County, New York's Gilgo Beach. All of the victims who were murdered over a 20-year span were involved in the sex industry, and several of them advertised their services on Craigslist. About this murderer, not much is known. The investigation is still underway, except that he is morbidly prolific.

2. Jack the Ripper

In the late Victorian century, this unnamed serial killer committed a string of horrifying killings that caused alarm in London's Whitechapel neighborhood. It's difficult to imagine any serial murderer who has sparked as much lore, inquiry, or ideas about his identity, in part because of the deaths' exceptional brutality and the insults the killer conveyed to the irate police. His name now almost has a legendary quality.

The most well-known Prank was a letter from Hell that was sent along with one of his victims' kidney halves. He asserted that he had consumed the other half.

1. The Zodiac.

The most elusive murderer in American history, without a doubt. The Zodiac Killer resembles a character out of a horror movie. A writer of letters to the police as well. By using riddles and intricate cryptograms, he boasted about his accomplishments and demanded that his letters be printed on page one of the newspapers, or else the death toll would increase. Before committing his crimes, this killer would prowl remote places in search of his victims, who were mostly young couples. Others have suggested that the Phantom and Zodiac killers may be the same person due to similarities in their methods and physical characteristics. Whatever the case, the Zodiac has left behind a brutal legacy of His own.
