Nevertheles the facts and files of law enforcement agencies prove that criminals do go unpunished even when their identities are known or suspected. Sometimes this is due to police negligence or a peculiar twist in the law or because those who can expose the guilty are afraid to talk. Here are 10 stranger-than-fiction cases which include : The Black Dahlia; The Muted Aria of the Singing Canary; The Absent Corpus Delicti and The Bigamous Captain; Diamonds Pretty Pink Toes and Homicide; The Only Clues...Sex and Alcohol; The 55 Toupees Murder; The Two Million Dollar Brinks Robbery + much more.
