In Unsolved Crimes, famous, unresolved cases from the past 120 years are examined to review what police and experts in forensic science did (or failed to do) while trying to resolve each crime.

For each case covered, the key theories and suspects are described. Though technology is much improved since the time of Jack the Ripper in 1888, some recent crimes defy the best equipment and best scientists, leaving open-ended mysteries to occupy the minds of amateur sleuths everywhere. Still, it may not be too late to solve these riddles.

By re-examining old evidence with modern techniques, police can often breathe new life into a cold case.

Chapters include:

Red Jack
The Black Dahlia
The Boy in the Box
JFK: Case Closed?
Deadly Medicine.

Cases covered include:

Jack the Ripper, unidentified serial killer
The murder of Elizabeth Short, aka "The Black Dahlia"
The assassination of John F. Kennedy, officially solved but often disputed
The disappearance of Teamsters' leader Jimmy Hoffa
The Tylenol poisoning murders and related cases
Lizzie Borden, accused then acquitted of murdering her parents with an axe
Harry and Harriette Moore, murdered during the early days of the Civil Rights movement
The murder of JonBen Ramsey.
