1、十二宫杀手。在1960年代末和1970年代初，这杀手活跃在加州北部。凶手的身份仍然未知。年龄在16至29岁的7个人（4男3女）被连环杀死。这杀手自称“十二宫杀手”，还发嘲弄信件给当地的报社。

1.) 1. The Zodiac Killer: In the late 1960s and early 1970s, the Zoadiac Killer was active in Northern California. The killer’s identity remains unknown. Four men and three women between the ages of 16 and 29 were targeted. He earned his moniker because of a series of taunting letters sent to the local Bay Area press.

2、加德纳博物馆艺术抢劫。两名匪徒伪装成波士顿警察乘机进入博物馆。劫匪将值班的两名警卫困在地下室，然后偷走13件超过5亿美元的绘画、雕塑和工艺品。警方悬红500万美元奖励，但至今未获得任何破案信息。

2.) The Gardner Museum Art Heist: In 1990, two men dressed as cops pulled off one of the biggest museum heists in history. They conned their way into The Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum and tied up the on-duty guards. They then stole pieces by Vermeer, Rembrandt, Degas, and Manet. They took over $500 million in paintings, sculptures, and artifacts. A $5 million reward is still offered to any information that leads to the recovery of the stolen artwork.

3、泰诺杀手。不知名的凶徒不知道出于什么目的，将剧毒物质氰化钾注入最常服用的镇痛药物——泰诺速效胶囊，在短短两天内在芝加哥造成七人死亡。事件发生后，当局马上下架所有泰诺，并发出全面警告。案件至今未有任何线索。

3.) The Tylenol Killer: In the fall of 1982, seven Chicago-area people died from taking Tylenol that had been laced with cyanide. Tylenol was pulled from shelves and authorities warned people far and wide about the drug. Within six months, federal anti-tampering were put into place to prevent any similar tragedies. No arrests for the murders have been made.

4、开膛手杰克。1888年在伦敦东区，有多名妓女遭割喉并被肢解。在那个时代治安比较复杂，还有很多女性在东区遭到其它的袭击，令到案件错综复杂。凶手还多次写信到警局挑衅，却始终未落入法网。

4.) Jack the Ripper: This ripper terrorized the Whitechapel district of London in 1888. There were multiple murders, with most of the victims being female prostitutes whose throats were cut prior to abdominal mutilations. The large number of attacks against women in the East End during this era adds uncertainty to how many victims were killed by the same person. Eleven separate murders, stretching from 3 April 1888 to 13 February 1891, were included in a London Metropolitan Police Service investigation.

5、琼贝尼:琼贝尼是美国儿童选美冠军。她在博尔德科罗拉多州自己的家中被谋杀了。1996年她只有6岁，她在失踪8小时后，被警方发现陈尸在家中地下室。她头部被打伤并扼杀，这件案子到现在还没有破案。

5.) JonBenét Ramsey: JonBenét was an American child beauty pageant queen who was murdered in her home in Boulder, Colorado, in 1996. She was only 6 years-old. Her body was found eight hours after she was reported missing, in the basement of the family home, during a police search. She had been struck on the head and strangled. The case remains unsolved, even after several grand jury hearings, and continues to generate public and media interest.

6、胶囊杀人案。1996年,一个小男孩发现两具尸体，身体都没有受伤，都穿着西装。经调查确定这两人是当地的电子技术人员。两人的尸体都戴着防辐射面具。附近有一个空水瓶，还有一个小笔记本写着：“下午在约定的地点，18:30吞下胶囊，金属防护生效后等待面具……。” 警方一直未能确定是什么原因。

6.) The Lead Masks Case: In 1996, a little boy in Brazil found two corpses. The uninjured bodies, both wearing suits, were identified as two local electronic technicians. An empty water bottle was found near the bodies and both men were wearing lead masks that protected against radiation. A small notebook was also found that read: “16:30 be at the agreed place. 18:30 swallow capsules, after effect protect metals wait for the mask sign.” The capsules killed the men, but police haven’t been able to determine why they were taken or what they were.

7、哈利温斯顿抢劫。2008年，四个男人打扮成女人抢劫了巴黎珠宝商店。四人绰号“粉红豹”，抢了1.08亿美元的钻石。警方悬赏100万美元，至今仍然未破案。

7.) Harry Winston Heist: In 2008, a group of four men dressed as women charged into an exclusive Parisian jewelry store armed with a .357 Magnum and a hand grenade. The four men, nicknamed “The Pink Panthers,” stole $108 million in diamonds. A $1 million dollar reward remains intact for information leading to an arrest.

8、Tamam Shud之死案件。1948年，一名男人被发现死在沙滩上。没有创伤的迹象也没有毒的痕迹。没有人可以找出这个人是怎么死的。他身上没有任何可以证明他身份的东西，衣服的商标被清除，在一个秘密在他的裤子口袋里，有一张写着“Tamam Shud”的小纸条，意思是“结束”。警方后来发现这张纸片来自于一部名叫《鲁拜集》的诗集，这案件至今未破。

8.) The Taman Shud Case: In 1948, “the Somerton Man” was found dead on the beach. There were no signs of trauma nor traces of poison. No one can figure out how the man died. All of the identification tags on the man’s clothes had been removed and there was a strange note inside a secret pocket in his pants that read “Tamam Shud,” which means “ended.” Police later discovered that the note had been ripped out of a rare collection of poems called “The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam” that was found in a car nearby the scene. Inside of that book was a small, coded message that remains unsolved to this day.

This was the code found in the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam book.

9、在1947年1月15日，在洛杉矶发现女演员伊丽莎白•肖特的尸体，少了一半的血液。她的口角两侧被切开3英寸，让她的嘴露出可怕的笑容。警察与媒体发布了有关情况的信息。但没有拘捕任何人，这或许永远成为历史悬案。

9.) The Black Dahlia: Actress Elizabeth Short’s 22 year-old body was discovered in LA on January 15, 1947 cut in half and drained of blood. The corners of her mouth had been sliced 3 inches on either side, leaving her mouth in a grisly grin. Police worked side-by-side with the press to release information about the case. No arrests have been made in the case, despite how well known it is.
