Possibly the most famous unsolved crime, this English serial killer
has haunted the collective imagination for more than a century.
HINTERKAIFECK MURDERS
Hinterkaifeck is a small town in Bavaria, Germany where a family
was brutally murdered in 1922. The family’s neighbours
reported that several days prior to the attack the father had
mentioned that he noticed tracks in the snow leading from the
forest to the family’s home but the tracks didn’t lead back
to the forest. Apparently he had also had mentioned sounds
in the attic, but this was all reported to police after the murder.
