The extremely calculated nature of heinous crimes and their perpetrators means that many leave little to no evidence. Often these cases are left open with scant hope of resolution, usually to the horror of affected families and friends. But thanks to rapidly developing advances in forensic techniques—especially in the fields of psychological, psychic, and DNA profiling—an increasing number of cases are being reexamined and solved years after the crimes were committed. Collected here are the incredible true stories of how some the most horrific murderers in existence were caught using astounding and unusual methods, sometimes decades after the fact.
