Episode 93: Cleveland Torso Murders AKA Mad Butcher of Kingsbury Run

In this episode of Unexplained America, your host Lisa will discuss the Cleveland Torso Murders--also known as, the Mad Butcher of Kingsbury Run and also was called the Kingsbury Slayer and other things in the press.

The killings begin in Cleveland, Ohio in 1935 (1934 depending in victim inclusion of the "Lady in the Lake")--a body is found without a head in a dark, dank area of Cleveland called Kingsbury Run.

Over the course, of a few months more mutilated and dismembered bodies are found. No witnesses, no suspects, just body parts.

Between 1935 and 1938, 12 victims will be found and only 3 of these victims will be identified.

Cleveland's new City Safety Director, Eliot Ness, will get involved but to no avail...no one will be tried for these heinous murders.
