25 Murders That Will Forever Remain As Unsolved Mysteries

By Thought Catalog,

15. Jack The Ripper

“The identity of Jack The Ripper. Everybody involved in the case, or even alive when it happened, are long dead and buried.” — CswBizzel

16. The Monster With 21 Faces

“The Monster With 21 Faces case, the famous extortion case where a cabal of people poisoned various candies and extorted money from the confectionary companies who sold them. They also taunted the police with letters and such, and the case was so hard to crack that one high-ranking police officer committed self-immolation out of shame. Nothing ever came out of it save for a few persons of interest who were never caught, and the statute of limitations has already passed.” — Wheres_The_Pepsi

17. The murders in Kentucky

“This one is mostly of local interest, but the murders that have occurred over the last few years in Bardstown, Kentucky. A police officer shot and killed in an ambush setup, a mother and daughter that were tortured and killed together, one girl disappearing into thin air with suspicion on her police officer boyfriend, and then the girl’s father being killed not long after.” — OperationHumanShield

“You are the only person who gets to decide if you are happy or not—do not put your happiness into the hands of other people. Do not make it contingent on their acceptance of you or their feelings for you. At the end of the day, it doesn’t matter if someone dislikes you or if someone doesn’t want to be with you. All that matters is that you are happy with the person you are becoming. All that matters is that you like yourself, that you are proud of what you are putting out into the world. You are in charge of your joy, of your worth. You get to be your own validation. Please don’t ever forget that.” — Bianca Sparacino
