The Forgotten Corpses of Hanover

In terms of serial killers you’ve “never heard of,” this case may be the one. 

Dismembered body parts, hacked apart with saws, began appearing in Hanover, Germany during the 1970s. First, a torso, followed by a leg, and then arms and a thorax! The atrocities only kept coming.

This “human puzzle” has confused investigators for nearly half a century.
