Yosemite, California, one of the most stunningly beautiful places on earth and the backdrop to one of the darkest, most horrific family stories of two brothers.

And today we're breaking down cases where the overlap of circumstance, identity, or timing is almost too unsettling to believe.

When I was writing the book about Ted Bundy, and

Ted was my partner at the crisis clinic, so he was my friend before I had the book contract, and

I had that before I knew he was the suspect.

There are reports flooding in about a maniac attacking young couples, And he may very well strike again.

Italy's Monster of Florence case remains one of true crime's most infamous enigmas.

A series of eight double homicides between 1968 and 1985 that left 16 victims dead in cars or on rural lovers lanes.

Each couple was shot with the same.22 caliber Beretta, but no one was ever convicted.

With certainty, we've uncovered a connection.

The same weapon used by our killer from 74 onwards was used to kill before.

We've got one single witness, we know there's one person who saw the true face of the killer.

One suspect, Pietro Pacciani, had a history that eerily echoed the later crimes.

In 1951, he was jailed for murdering a man who'd been sleeping with his girlfriend, an act of jealousy resembling the monster's targeted attacks on couples.

Investigators later called it a rhyme in violence, though no forensic link was ever proven.

Pacciani was acquitted on appeal in 1996 and died two years later, leaving the coincidence and the case forever unresolved.

It's a crime spree that has stumped investigators for decades.

The brutal murders of three Rochester girls in the early 1970s have never been solved.

NBC's Nikki Rudd has new details never heard before tonight.

Rochester, New York, saw three nearly identical child murders between 1971 and 1973 that became known as the Alphabet murders.

The victims, Carmen Colon, Wanda Walkowicz and Michelle Mainza, each had matching first and last name initials.

Even more chilling, two were found in towns beginning with those same letters.

Walkowicz in Webster and Mainza in Macedon.

Colon's body was discovered in the town of Riga, near Churchville.

All three girls were abducted, assaulted and strangled.

Yet police never proved a single perpetrator.

Anytime that there's any sort of feeling in a city, in an area that there may be a serial Killer People panic.

Mono County Sheriff's investigator Trevor Hibbard and Sergeant C.J.

zimmerman believe this was just the start for a serial killer.

The striking double initial pattern gave the crimes their nickname, the Double Initial Murders, and

has since inspired books and fictional adaptations.

Decades later, the the coincidence still haunts Rochester.

A set of letters that spelled out what might be America's most haunting unsolved puzzle.

Every investigator I spoke with agrees it could have been one killer.

The Dog Walker murders, two women, one chilling pattern.

A vagrant, a van driver and a man seen running from the area.

The next 10 minutes could be crucial to the inquiry.

Unless a viewer can help now, the killer might not be caught until he strikes again.

In England's southwest, two unsolved murders a year apart left detectives unsettled by a haunting symmetry.

In 1997, 14 year old Kate Bushel was attacked while walking her dog near Exeter.

In 1998, 41 year old Lynn Bryant was stabbed to death while walking her dog on a rural Cornish lane.

I've dealt with many major investigations and latterly been involved in reviewing some undetected cases of which this is one.

She was born on the Roseland and actually was living in the house that she was born in at the time of her murder.

She was five days short of her 41st birthday when she was murdered.

Both were found in remote countryside spots, killed with a knife and left with few forensic traces.

The parallels, victim type, weapon setting were so specific that police publicly acknowledged the likelihood of a single offender, though no arrest ever followed.

More than 25 years later, the Dog Walker murders remain among Britain's eeriest coincidences.

Two ordinary outings on quiet lanes ending in identical tragedy, with the same phantom possibly behind both.

The vagrant was seen around the area several times by the same witness.

On one occasion, vagrant came out from behind a tree, crossed the lane and over the gateway.

This was half a mile from Kate's home on a route she used to walk.

It was Wednesday 12 November, three days before her murder.

How the police almost caught him several times for several years, women, especially here in West Yorkshire, were scared.

Going out alone at night was a real risk.

Peter Sutcliffe changed the way people lived.

Still, he found victims like Mo Lee, who was an art student in Leeds and survived.

Peter Sutcliffe, dubbed the Yorkshire Ripper, murdered 13 women and attacked several others across northern England between 1975 and 1980.

Investigators interviewed him nine times during the manhunt, yet each time he slipped away, sometimes only streets from his crime scenes.

Police were misled by the infamous Wereside Jacks hoax, which featured a fake accent on tapes and letters that diverted resources for years.

One of the top table officers said, is he a Geordie?

Peter Sutcliffe is not the Yorkshire Ripper.

Sutcliffe's eventual arrest in 1981 came not from profiling, but from a random traffic stop.

Officers noticed his car carried false plates.

The cruel coincidence is how close authorities came again and again to catching him earlier.

For years, those brief encounters, routine checks with a future serial killer, have stood as Britain's most haunting near miss in criminal history.

West Yorkshire Police has apologized for the way some senior officers spoke at the time about some of Sutcliffe's victims, a number of whom were sex workers.

The force's chief constable said that while some of the language and attitudes may have reflected wider society at the time, the they were wrong then and wrong now.

There's been a forensic search taking place most of the day and tomorrow similar searches and inquiries will be made throughout the night.

The police will be keeping up the strict security cordon they've placed around the farm.

And Tomorrow, more than 100 policemen will be drafted in.

In 1969, Muriel McKay vanished from her London home.

He In a crime rooted in pure mistaken identity, two brothers, Arthur and Nizamuddin Hossein, planned to kidnap Anna Murdoch, the then wife of newspaper magnate Rupert Murdoch, for ransom.

But when they followed the wrong Rolls Royce, they abducted Muriel, whose husband happened to drive a similar car.
