There's a case in Singapore and it's the Geylang Bahru family murders. All four children in the Tan family were found dead. There was no evidence of forced entry, the flat had not been ransacked, and no items were reported missing. The murder weapons, which are believed to have been a cleaver and a dagger, were never found.

Another case is the Easey Street murders which refers to the murders of two women in Collingwood, Victoria, Australia, an inner suburb of Melbourne, in January 1977. It is considered as Victoria’s most brutal crime. One important thing about the case is the number of stab wounds that the victims had (one had 55 wounds and the other had 29 wounds). It was overkill and it can considered to be a strong emotional conflict between the perpetrator and the victims. There was a baby, that belonged to one of the victims, who left unharmed and he was adopted by his aunt.

The Boy in the Box was identified last year. His name is Joseph Augustus Zarelli.

[bocprincess]

The boy in the box was later identified for #17 but still a very tragic case

[caitlinmerlino]

How can it be deemed an accident when you’re found dead and locked in a bag…..

[jenniferferguson]

What about the Girl Scout camp murders. That one was quite disturbing.

The boy in the box is partially solved but not completely. He was identified last year as Joseph Augustus Zarelli. The authorities knew who he was for over a year but kept his name as well as his parents names secret as there are still surviving relatives but reporters found out so they made it public. The main suspects are Martha or M's parents. A psychiatrist came forward in 2002 and said she told him many things...her parents bought him from a child trafficking ring in Philadelphia and they regularly abused him and in the end a beating went too far and killed him. She said it was her mother who dumped him where he was found and she also talked about stuff that only detectives knew. This is seemingly the most likely theory out of the main three that have popped up over the years and the only one not ruled out but as of last year, the evidence is still circumstantial and they don't have enough to move forward yet but they are hoping now there is a name someone many come forward with something more.

Why is the audio so weird at some points?

Austin TX has two. The Yogurt Shop Murders of December 1991 involved the deaths of four teenage girls in a yogurt shop. Police interviewed numerous suspects and had two fellas in prison for a while until it was revealed that they were wrongfully incarcerated. The Midnight Assassin (or Servant Girl Annihilator) took place in the mid 1880's and remains unsolved. For more details, see the Wikipedia articles about both cases.

Good video, but the random changes in narrator(s) was really annoying.

Shame on you guys. JOSEPH ZARELLI suffered and went nameless for too long. You couldn't even say his name? We need to keep his name out there because the case isn't solved.

My hometown is about an hour from Cleveland, Ohio, so I’d love to see the Cleveland Torso Murderer brought to justice.

[kristophermueller]

Joseph Augustus Zarelli is the boy in the box. Although his murder is still unsolved.

2 That I’m surprised weren’t mentioned:

Austin Yogurt shop Murders in 1991

Killing of JFK

[nicolelylewis]

I’m surprised the Borden murders was only #18 and not higher on the list….

[blugreen]

The 1978 Burger Chef Murders? The Oklahoma Girl Scout Murders?

The concept of katabatic winds being behind the Dyatlov Pass Incident is - to me - the most sound. A Swedish-Russian expedition in 2019 proposed the idea. In 1978, a group of nine hikers in Sweden faced the same conditions with eight killed and one seriously injured. Kholat Syakhl and Anaris Mountain are topographically very similar and therefore susceptible to the same weather phenomena.

Regarding no 24, the guy dying in a sports bag case has had some sort of update. If you look up the uk's media on this case. Although if it was a hit, I would not trust the people on top to supress it!

The change in voices is driving me insane 😖
