Came out of the house for a few minutes to talk with newsmen.

And today we're diving into historic cases which time left unsolved and ultimately never saw justice.

The psychotic killer has already murdered five the Borden murders.

Lizzie Borden's tale is so famous and disturbing that it has become part of American folklore.

In August 1892, her father Andrew and stepmother Abby were found brutally murdered in their Massachusetts home.

It was so shocking for the police to come to the conclusion that the daughter had killed her father and stepmother.

She was at home during the killings, gave conflicting statements and was rumored to have tried purchasing poison the day before.

Reports also suggest a deep tension in the Borden home.

Months before the murders, the Borden sisters reportedly resented their stepmother and also argued with their father over giving away property to Abby's family.

In front of a panel of three judges and a jury of 12 men, the prosecutor began his opening statement with a simple that Lizzie Borden is the only person with the opportunity and the motive to have committed the crimes.

Yet in 1893, Lizzie was found not guilty due to weak evidence.

To this day, theories abound, but no one truly knows if Lizzie committed the murders.

Murder OF Lord Darnley Henry Stewart's murder was orchestrated so carefully that proving anything was was impossible.

Story is equal parts annoying, tragic and fascinating.

Among other things, his murder is, I would argue, a fulcrum point in his wife mary's life.

On February 10, 1567, an explosion tore through the house he was staying in in Edinburgh.

It was found in the garden, apparently strangled, suggesting the blast was a cover up.

The centuries long mystery in this case is who was responsible for it, who actually did it and who knew about it.

His wife, Mary, Queen of Scots, soon fell under suspicion.

Their marriage had soured and their closeness to James Hepburn, Earl of Bothwell, only deepened doubts.

Though Bothwell escaped conviction, many believed he masterminded it with Mary's knowledge or silence at least.

There is a general consensus that this trial was actually rigged because it allowed Bothwell to be acquitted on 12 April 1567.

Some of his servants and acquaintances were, however, arrested and executed when Mary married him months later.

Centuries later, Henry Stuart's death remains a puzzle, meticulously planned but forever unsolved.

THE AXEMAN OF New Orleans between 1918 and 1919, fear gripped Louisiana as a mysterious figure terrorized Italian American families.

They have never seen me, for I am invisible even as the ether that surrounds your earth.

The killer would break into homes at night, often using the victim's own axes to hack them to death.

He murdered at least six people and injured several others.

Despite citywide panic, the Axeman was never identified.

After 1919, the axeman of New Orleans disappeared and was never heard from again.

However, theories about his identity and motivations ran wild.

Some believe he was jazz obsessed, inspired by a bizarre letter claiming he'd spare anyone playing jazz at night.

that is that some of you people who do not jazz it out on that specific Tuesday night, if there be any, will get the axe.

Others suspected Mafia involvement due to the targeting of Italian grocers, or even a sexual sadist driven by thrill.

Then, just as suddenly as the murders began, they eventually stopped, leaving only terror and uncertainty.

I'm sure the transcendence of my relationship with your mother is hard for you to understand, but

The monster with 21 faces in the 1980s, a shadowy group pulled off one of Japan's boldest crimes, a massive campaign of extortion against major candy companies.

What the hell are you doing with all that manpower?

They called themselves the monster with 21 faces and were never caught nor identified.

It began in 1984, when Glico's president, Katsushisa Ezaki, was kidnapped and held for ransom.

Though he escaped, the nightmare was far from over.

Soon, shelves were emptied as Glico products were threatened with cyanide poisoning, costing the company millions.

It didn't even really take violence either.

Then the gang began targeting other food companies, taunting the police with numerous letters signed under their chilling alias.

Investigators chased leads from the elusive Fox Eyed man and Videotaped Man.

But even their prime suspect, Manabu M.E.

miyazaki, son of a yakuza boss, was ultimately cleared of any wrongdoing.

The Hall Mills MURDERS this local murder case is a perfect example of how a crime, when turned into a media circus, can derail justice.

The story was tailor made for a whole new brand of journalism.

In 1922, the bodies of a married Episcopal priest, Edward Wheeler hall, and

a married choir singer, Eleanor Mills, were discovered under a crab apple tree in Somerset County.

Love letters between them were scattered around their bodies, a shocking detail that fed sensational headlines.

One tabloid, the up and coming New York Daily News, went so far as to try to elicit a confession from Eleanor Mills husband by staging a seance.

As authorities debated jurisdictional issues, the crime scene turned chaotic.

Curious onlookers and reporters trampled the scene, destroying crucial evidence.

All eyes soon turned to Frances hall, the priest's wife, and her brothers.

With evidence compromised and unreliable witnesses, they eventually walked free.

Today, the Hall Mills case remains unsolved, remembered more for its scandal than anything else.

People who very much want to solve this crime, these sort of amateur detectives and historians.

The murder of Mary Rogers in 1842, Edgar Allan Poe wrote the Mystery of Marie Roget, which is considered the first detective story based on a real crime.

It was inspired by the murder of Mary Rogers, a New York cigar clerk whose body was found in the Hudson river in 1841.

Sir Anderson had wanted to employ Mary as he believed that having such a beautiful young lady working in his cigar store would bring in more customers.

Her murder shocked the public and the press, sparking endless speculations.

Some believed she was murdered by a lover, and

a remorseful note from her fiance before he took his own life, hinted his involvement in her death.

One woman even claimed that Rogers body was dumped after a botched abortion to cover it up.

The truth, however, remains lost to time.

the case of the beautiful cigar girl was no longer appearing in the newspapers.

No one knows what really happened to the beautiful cigar girl.

You and this Roget case have me going around in circles.

Zodiac killings Even with all the clues, codes and public fascinations, the Zodiac killer's true identity remains a mystery to this day.

He sent letters and cryptograms to newspapers and the police.

Between 1968 and 1969, the infamous killer carried out his murders in California, attacking young people and a lone cab driver.
