True Crime

Ax&nbsp;murderers! <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/ongoing-slaying-sprees/mike-rothschild?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">Serial killers on the loose</a>! Sounds that will drive men to madness! You&rsquo;ll find all that and more on this list of the creepiest <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/serial-killers-who-were-never-caught/ranker-crime">unexplained stories</a> from the US. America has only been around for a little over 200 years, but in that short amount of time, we&rsquo;ve managed to build up a considerable amount of spooky phenomena and mysterious events.

Creepy unexplained stories in America tend to rest heavily on unsolved murders&nbsp;or unexplainable deaths, and at times, it seems like an answer is waiting for us just out of reach. None of the stories on this list contain any answers, and the tales that do seem to tie themselves up tend to do so with a string of messy questions.

These creepy American stories come from all over the United States, proving that there&rsquo;s not one area that&rsquo;s more susceptible to strange crime than any other - except for New Jersey. That place is a weirdo hot-spot. If you&rsquo;re an amateur sleuth, there are certainly a few ongoing cases on this list of American unexplained stories that could use your expertise. Just make sure to call your mom before you go venturing <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-episodes-of-into-the-dark/ranker-tv?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">into the dark</a> marshes of hidden America. &nbsp;

Mysteries

We like to think that if we&#39;re always prepared, travel in groups, and&nbsp;walk with both eyes open, we&#39;ll be safe from any potential dangers. But then Stranger Things went and made us all terrified of the possibility that we could disappear into the Upside-Down at any moment. No amount of preparation can keep you safe from being snatched into another dimension. So, to make you even more terrified, here&#39;s a list of real-life <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/people-who-disappeared-mysteriously/alby-thompson?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">people who disappeared</a> into another dimension - or at least, it seems very likely that they did.

These are people who disappeared and left no trace. They vanished in an instant, vanished from inside a building, or vanished and appeared to be calling out for help, although no one could find them. Clearly, the most logical explanation is they were taken to the upside-down.

If you don&#39;t think that&#39;s possible, see if you can come up with another explanation for these mysterious disappearances. Good luck, because these are some truly befuddling cases.

There are nearly 90,000 missing persons in the U.S. alone, at any given time. And most cases will remain cold, as people disappear into different lives, some filled with unimaginable terrors. But what happens to the small percentage of missing people who one day show back up? Where did they go and what happened to them? <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/13-famous-missing-people/celeb-stalker?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">Missing people found</a> alive are stories that capture the nation's attention whenever they break. Often inspiring and devastating at the same time, and sometimes downright eerie and bizarre, these narratives of men and women who return after years of absence are all-around fascinating.&nbsp;Some tales are so fantastic, you would think there's no way they could be true, like the story of Gabriel Nagy, the missing man found alive several years after disappearing and suffering severe amnesia, or the incredible events leading to Elizabeth Smart's rescue and return to her family. Kidnapped people who escaped, missing people found off the grid, others <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/greatest-fictional-characters-leading-double-lives/ranker-characters?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">living double lives</a>, each story manages to shock one after the other. For the devotedly curious creep-seekers, here are several stories about real life missing people who were found alive, despite all reasonable doubt.

The police typically&nbsp;bring lawbreakers to justice, but sometimes ordinary citizens manage to get there first. In fact, there are&nbsp;copious murder cases solved by regular people. When detectives miss small details or overlook critical facts, individuals with&nbsp;less involvement&nbsp;may&nbsp;offer fresh insights. Many people who cracked murder cases <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/crimes-solved-by-the-internet/jacob-shelton" target="_blank">solved the case through the internet</a>, a technology&nbsp;that allows the average Joe to follow - and sometimes even assist - with investigations.Ordinary citizens may get involved in murder mysteries&nbsp;for many&nbsp;reasons. Some may have ties to the victim&nbsp;or seek&nbsp;justice, while others desire to help their&nbsp;community eradicate a menace.&nbsp;Either way, exceptional circumstances&nbsp;sometimes allow&nbsp;members of the public to&nbsp;solve a crime when the police come up short.

Few things are more terrifying than when a murder is committed and the murderer is never found. When an entire family is murdered, it takes the crime to a whole new level. This list discusses the <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/famous-unsolved-murders/ranker-crime?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">most famous unsolved murders</a> of families and couples, and are arguably some of the most gruesome and shocking unsolved murder cases in history. 
&nbsp; 
It is <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/confusing-anime/anna-lindwasser?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">hard to understand</a> how someone could be motivated to take another person&rsquo;s life, but when it comes to the victims listed on this list, understanding the reasons behind the crime is almost impossible.&nbsp;Sadly, it is most likely that no one will ever be forced to pay for these crimes as police weren&#39;t able to find the proper evidence to solve the murders.&nbsp; 
&nbsp; 
Many of the cases featured on this list therefore remain open, while others have officially been closed after years of unsuccessful attempts at finding the killer. What are the most famous unsolved murders of families? Read through the list below to find out.

Celebrities are almost always in the spotlight, but in these cases of unsolved celebrity murders, their fame wasn't enough to save them, or find their killer. This list features unsolved murders of celebrities and includes some of the most notorious crimes in history. Some of these celebrities were filming at the time of their death, while others were in their own homes.&nbsp;Most of these murder cases closed after years of searching fruitlessly for suspects or substantial evidence; their leads coming to dead ends. However, some of them remain open and even decades after the murders, authorities are still attempting to identify <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/the-truth-of-what-actually-happened-at-amityville/jacob-shelton?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">what actually happened</a>. For now though, they remain a mystery.

What&#39;s even creepier than a case of someone taking a life? One where the body of the victim is never identified.&nbsp;Unexplained and unidentified corpses are found from time to time, and despite efforts to find their perps&nbsp;and put the victims to rest, investigators aren&#39;t always able to close&nbsp;these <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/famous-unsolved-murders/ranker-crime" target="_blank">unsolved cases</a>. Known as John and Jane Does, these mysterious victims captivate the imagination of many: Who were they? What happened to them?

The task of figuring out who these people are is often hard and fruitless. Authorities trying to crack cases with unidentified victims face uphill battles when trying to find a resolution. These cases involve men, women,&nbsp;and children - of all ages and races <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/creepy-obscure-crimes/philgibbons" target="_blank">across the world</a>. Police utilize age progression technology to create composite sketches of victims, allowing organizations like the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children to promote posters in the hopes of identifying <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/lost-children-who-were-found/anabel-conner" target="_blank">the lost but not forgotten</a>. While nameless, these victims live forever in their mysteriousness.&nbsp;

The United States is known to generate&nbsp;sensational and disturbing crimes that make headlines all over the world. The <a href="http://https://www.ranker.com/list/events-directly-after-jfk-assassination/philgibbons" target="_blank">Kennedy assassination</a>, the <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/facts-about-charles-manson/harrison-tenpas" target="_blank">Manson Family murders</a>, and the <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/creepy-oj-simpson-facts/mike-rothschild" target="_blank">OJ Simpson trial</a> are just a few of the media spectacles that became recognizable worldwide. Outside of the America&nbsp;media spotlight, international crimes and mysteries - such as unexplainable disappearances, alleged abductions, family murders, and unidentifiable bodies - have perplexed&nbsp;people on&nbsp;every continent. In some cases, which have gone cold for over 70 years, authorities and spectators alike still maintain hope in solving these unforgotten crimes and occurrences. Here is a list of some of the world&#39;s most baffling and sensational crimes that aren&#39;t as recognizable in the United States - yet.

List of men and women throughout world history who have disappeared under mysterious or unknown circumstances. The list includes the disappearances of all manner of individuals who vanished at various periods throughout human history, including explorers, monarchs and leaders, colonists, philosophers and thinkers, scientists, outlaws and authors. Aviator Amelia Earhart is probably the most famous inclusion from US History, and England&#39;s King Edward V may be among its most significant cases in terms of world politics.

These people who <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/alfred-loewenstein-mystery/patrick-thornton" target="_blank">disappeared mysteriously</a> present some of the most intriguing historical puzzles around, especially when their unexplained disappearances stay open for years. Mysterious disappearances can vary from suspected political assassinations to cases where somebody goes out in a boat, never to be heard from again. Regardless of the circumstances, they&#39;re always fascinating and often tragic.

What people disappeared mysteriously and have never been found? In some cases, the disappearances were widely discussed and the missing individuals became pop culture icons. (For example, DB Cooper, the unidentified man who, in 1971, hijacked a plane and then parachuted away into obscurity.) In other cases, the people remained obscure and forgotten, such as Louis Le Prince - the influential cinema innovator who disappeared from a train in 1890 - and <a href="/list/emanuela-orlandi-disappearance/jacob-shelton" target="_blank">Emanuela Orlandi</a>, the 15-year-old who vanished from Vatican City without a trace.

Some of America&rsquo;s infamous dump sites exist in the middle of highly populated areas, and some hide in plain sight along the shores of Long Island or in scenic vacation spots near Lake Tahoe. Predators have made parks, rivers, and locations <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/creepy-texas-killing-fields-cases/jacob-shelton" target="_blank">near highways</a> the final resting place for victims. These perps could be gangs, <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/gruesome-mafia-murders/philgibbons" target="_blank">the mob</a>, or serial killers, taking the bodies of their victims out to the middle of the desert or the dark woods of a rural area.&nbsp;

Regular citizens may not expect these concealed offenses to occur in the same places families take their children during summer holidays, but authorities have identified dump sites all across the United States.&nbsp;The unknown victims may never be found, and these sites contain <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/famous-unsolved-murders-in-the-us/ranker-crime" target="_blank">unsolved mysteries</a>.

History

At last count, the world contained about 7.4 billion people. That&#39;s quite a lot already, and it&#39;s impossible to say exactly&nbsp;how many have lived before us. With so many people in total, it&#39;s no wonder that&nbsp;countless stories have been left untold, objects left buried, and mysteries left&nbsp;unsolved.&nbsp;As much as we know about the world, and as many mysteries as <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/scientific-explanations-for-famous-mysteries/jim-rowley" target="_blank">we&#39;ve already solved</a>, there is still so much more we can&#39;t fully comprehend -&nbsp;and perhaps never will -&nbsp;about the distant past.

Symbols. Scrolls. Artifacts. Sometimes it&#39;s hard to fathom exactly what else could be out there, or even <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/glass-coffin-san-francisco-discovery-facts/trilby-beresford" target="_blank">in our own backyards</a>. Some believe there is <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/mysterious-ancient-scientific-discoveries-and-inventions/kellen-perry" target="_blank">ancient technology</a> yet to be discovered, or even entire civilizations left to be found. And sometimes, <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/archaeology-that-changed-history/nathan-gibson" target="_blank">ancient artifacts</a> can change how we view our history. Let&#39;s take a look at some of what our ancestors have left behind.

People travel every day, stopping, at times, in rest areas to take quick breaks. As anyone who has been on a road trip knows, some rest stops are creepier than others, and&nbsp;some travelers become the victims of&nbsp;unsolved <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/donald-leroy-evans-facts/jessika-gilbert?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">rest stop murders</a>. Their&nbsp;stories are so frightening that&nbsp;they read like&nbsp;<a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/horror-movie-plot-holes/robert-desalvo?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">horror movie plots</a>...&nbsp;but no one knows the ending.

These&nbsp;rest stop killings that haven&#39;t been solved have stumped investigators and broken the hearts of victims&#39; families, but it&#39;s the creepy details of these&nbsp;murders&nbsp;that will have you hesitant to stop off at a rest area ever again. Whether the rest stops in question were&nbsp;dumping grounds for serial killers, hunting grounds for new victims, or places&nbsp;vagrants looked to take advantage of&nbsp;tourists, rest areas have been the unfortunate sites of untimely deaths, as these tragic stories show.

Criminal investigators, journalists, and authors have considered some heists, hijackings, and even murders as &ldquo;perfect crimes.&rdquo; In these instances, the criminals left no evidence at the scene, or the execution of the crimes prevented authorities from ever solving the cases. A &quot;perfect crime&quot; is an unsolvable crime, but not due to any incompetence of investigators. The term delineates a criminal action in which the perpetrator deliberately left no evidence behind - and in extreme cases, the crimes themselves are undetectable.&nbsp;

<a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/weird-unsolved-heists/jfergus" target="_blank">Unsolved robberies</a> - whether the target is a bank, museum, or jeweler - can reflect orchestrated schemes out of a movie like Ocean&rsquo;s 18. <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/famous-unsolved-murders/ranker-crime" target="_blank">Unsolved murders</a>, particularly those that involve <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/serial-killers-who-were-never-caught/ranker-crime" target="_blank">unidentified serial killers</a>, may reflect the time period&rsquo;s limited forensic capabilities. In other instances, the murders are unsolvable due to lack of evidence, motive, and even a body.&nbsp;

These 18 well-known crimes reflect the actions of robbers and murderers whom police will likely never&nbsp;identify - and capture.&nbsp;

There are few things as deeply disturbing and fascinating as the cases of children who go missing, but are found many years later. It may seem hard to believe, but approximately 2,300 children and adults are reported missing in in the U.S. every day. It&#39;s a horrifying and sad statistic, but history has shown that there is always hope! To find a missing person many years later is truly a miracle, as the loved ones of those who are kidnapped seldom receive this kind of happy news. These stories of found lost children prove you can never give up. 

It&#39;s actually slightly more common to find missing children than you may think. We latch on to these stories with rabid fascination, because they are often the purest examples of the epitome of human strength, fortitude, and resilience. Still others happened under the oddest set of circumstances one can imagine-- like a girl who hid out with her boyfriend for five years, or the guy who was just doing drugs while everyone assumed he&#39;d been murdered by serial killer <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/facts-about-john-wayne-gacy/amandasedlakhevener?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">John Wayne Gacy</a>. The experiences of found missing kids vary from wretched to wacky to WTF?!

From rescues on land and sea, to decades of captivity, and kidnapped kids who never even knew they were considered missing-- this list is comprised of the fascinating stories of often courageous and sometimes strange missing children who turned up months and years after they were lost.&nbsp;

History is filled with suspicious occurrences that have left us wondering about the truth concerning the passing of a famous or infamous figure. Demises that initially seemed straightforward subsequently looked convoluted as more details came to light, and some supposed self-inflicted passings remain shrouded in mystery - and fodder for conspiracy theories - to this day.

Unfortunately, history is frequently left with more questions than answers about <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/famous-people-who-died-of-forced-suicide/reference" target="_blank">infamous suicides</a> that may have actually not been self-inflicted. Sometimes any number of possibilities are plausible.&nbsp;Occasionally, the obscurity of a victim alone is enough to set off questions that don&#39;t have an explanation. Here are some of the more puzzling historic instances in which it&#39;s believed the <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/adult-stars-who-committed-suicide/celebrity-lists" target="_blank">celebs took their own lives</a>, but it&#39;s possible that they were actually victims, struck down at the hand of another.

When you plan your next dream trip, make sure you take warning from the many tales of <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/people-who-disappeared-to-another-dimension/katherine-ripley?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">people who vanished</a> on vacation. Instead of removing themselves from work and stress, people who disappeared on trips removed themselves from the world entirely, vanishing in the midst of what should be paradise. These <a href="/list/people-who-disappeared-mysteriously/alby-thompson" target="_blank">mysterious disappearances</a>&nbsp;baffle many an investigator, who often comes up short with substantial evidence or compelling motives. For example, when a person <a href="/list/people-who-disappeared-from-cruise-ships/aaron-edwards" target="_blank">disappears from a cruise ship</a>, a number of possibilities arises: did they fall, were they pushed, or did they jump of their own accord?&nbsp;And since many vacation spots lie within or near remote and wild locations, authorities tasked with finding a body are at the mercy of nature's whim. A deep forest or ocean current can hide all sorts of evidence, including any traces of a &quot;dream vacation.&quot;Rather than avoiding travel altogether, let these unsolved disappearances on vacation serve as a warning. Know to put safety first, stay aware, and use the buddy system, all precautions that may have saved&nbsp;many&nbsp;of the missing tourists below.

The list of people who have mysteriously vanished in American national parks is shocking. US national parks are known for being majestic safe havens for wildlife, hikers, and families. Yet, as this shocking list shows, numerous men, women, and children have disappeared in some of the most beautiful and respected national parks in the United States. Where are these missing persons? What happened to them? Are America&#39;s national parks safe or are these <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/paranormal-national-park-disappearances/jake-black?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">national park disappearances</a> something you should worry about? 

These are the questions Americans will have about their national parks thanks to this offbeat list of people who were last seen en route to a national park. From Great Smoky Mountains National Park to Kings Canyon National Park to Yosemite National Park, conspiracy theories abound.

Friends and families are not the only ones worried about missing people like Warren Ward or Katherine Truitt, as some park rangers have even suspended searches without the mystery being solved. How many United States national parks disappearances have there been? Read on to learn more.

Supernatural & Paranormal

Humans are fascinated by stories of ghost ship disappearances. Why? Because humans are drawn to tales that leave us without answers. Stories of ghosts, the supernatural, alien intervention, and conspiracies may sound like something from science fiction, but these are the stories that have captured the human imagination since they first came to us through newspaper headlines and the mouths of whispering sailors.&nbsp;These are the stories of&nbsp;ghost ships that haunt the high seas and the minds of everyone who reads about them. These are ships that disappeared <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/full-cast-of-without-a-trace-cast-list-for-the-show-without-a-trace/reference?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">without a trace</a>, that simply stopped sailing, and that may have&nbsp;even murdered their own crews. History proves over and over that sometimes the truth is stranger than fiction. These are stories of eerie ghost ships that really happened, and nobody can explain how.&nbsp;

The Servant Girl Annihilator

Something about unexplained mysteries demands attention. The number of unsolved crimes in Texas is higher than in most states, due both to the sheer size of the Lone Star State and&nbsp;the amount of empty, desolate space where dastardly deeds can be committed without discovery. Even as the populations of cities like Houston, Dallas, and Austin grow into the millions, there are still areas near each urban center where it&#39;s possible to be entirely off the grid.

That is why this Texas list features crimes from both the past and modern day. With improvements in evidence collection, <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/golden-state-killer-facts/natalie-hazen" target="_blank">DNA testing</a>, and investigative tools, Texas law enforcement and families alike hope these <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/famous-unsolved-murders/ranker-crime" target="_blank">cold cases</a> will eventually be solved. For now, this list illustrates unexplained crimes that took place in the great <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/texas-serial-killers/ranker-crime" target="_blank">state of Texas</a>.

Cold Case Hammarskjöld

Cold Case Hammarskjöld is a 2019 Danish documentary film directed by Mads Brügger. The documentary is an investigation into the death of UN General Secretary Dag Hammarskjöld, whose airplane crashed in Northern Rhodesia (now Zambia) in 1961.
