Six Serial Killers Who Were Never Caught
by We don’t even know the faces of these notorious, mysterious figures, let alone their real names.
Axeman of New Orleans
This serial killer was active in and around New Orleans, Louisiana, in the years 1918 and 1919. His victims are numbered at 12. He first attacked a sleeping couple in their home on May 12, 1918, killing both, and then continued apparently at random to kill with an ax until mysteriously stopping in October of 1919. Mystery has always surrounded this serial killer, and continues to do so. Some eyewitnesses thought they saw more than one possible suspect at the scene. There were also a few hints of organized crime being involved, especially since the Axeman’s early victims were Italian-Americans. Then there’s also the odd letter on March 13, 1919 that was supposedly from the Axeman and arrived at the local newspapers; the letter stated that the Axeman would kill again at 15 minutes past minute on the night of March 15, 1919, but would spare any New Orleans households where jazz music was playing. Newspaper reports from the time say that March 15 was filled with jazz music all over the town, and no one was murdered. There has never been a solid suspect or suspects in the case of the Axeman of New Orleans.
Phantom Killer
The murderer dubbed the Phantom Killer first struck in Texarkana, Texas, on February 23, 1946, attacking a young couple in a vehicle, but killing neither. From then until May 4 of that year, at least five people were killed and three others attacked. All are alleged to have been victims of the Phantom Killer. Who was this murderer? It is still not known. On May 6, a man’s mutilated body was found on railroad tracks near Texarkana, and some believed he might have been the killer even though a coroner reported the man had been stabbed repeatedly before coming to rest on the tracks. Another suspect was a small-time burglar and car thief, though no strong evidence was never found against him. It has been so long, it is not likely the Phantom Killer is still alive.
Phantom of Heilbronn
This is the only female killer to make this list, and it’s only hypothesized that’s she’s a she, and it’s also possible she might not even exist. The Phantom of Heilbronn is the given name for an unknown assailant who shot and killed a female police officer in Heilbronn, Germany, in 2007. DNA evidence has linked this mysterious killer to possibly as many as 60 other crimes, at least six of them murders, in Germany, Austria, France and possibly other parts of Europe. Most recently, in March 2009, police investigators came to a surprising conclusion: the so-called Phantom of Heilbronn doesn’t exist at all. How could this happen? Supposedly the cotton swabs used by police to collect DNA evidence were contaminated before being shipped to law enforcement, which could explain the same DNA being found at so many crime scenes. Still, there are those who are skeptical and believe a female killer is still on the loose in Europe and has been operating since the early 1990s.

There’ve been a lot more killers never caught than the six I listed. And rarely do even the most depraved kill just for the sake of killing. They have their individual reasons, though it’s always a quite twisted reason.

@ Simon \”Jesus that’s crazy stuff. How do you kill people just for the sake of killing people and get away with it?\”
If you are not already a criminal on a database and are not related to the victim, not seen, and don\’t leave any obvious clues then you are not likely to be caught tbh.
Also i thought the Jazz playing throughout the city was quite funny lol
never to be known
