1. The Setagaya Family Massacre took place in Tokyo, Japan, where four members were assassinated, and the murderer stayed in the house for several hours, leaving much DNA evidence – yet, the killer remained unidentified.
On 31 December 2000, Mikio Miyazawa, along with his wife and two children, were murdered in their Setagaya-based home in western Tokyo. Mikio’s son Rei was strangled in his sleep while the rest of the family members were stabbed to death.
What’s shocking is that this murderer remained inside the house for several hours after these assassinations. The murderer used the home computer, prepared tea, used the toilet and sanitary products, and even slept on the sofa. The family computer was last connected to the Internet at 10 a.m. the next morning. Around this time, Asahi, the mother of Mikio’s wife Yasuko, had come to the house. She had been trying to reach her daughter since last night and was worried, so she came to check on them. Asahi was the one who discovered this horrific incident first.
The murderer had left several DNA traces across the house. The investigations stated that the murderer did not belong to the Miyazawa family as his blood group was type-A. The police had further investigated that the murderer was a male, and he had both European and Asian ancestry in his DNA. The police even took assistance from the International Criminal Police Organization as they thought the murderer could be from Korea or China.
Investigations are still going on. In 2015 and 2019, forty police officers were assigned respectively to find the killer. However, this crime is still unresolved. (1, 2)
2. In the 1940s, a man was found dead in Somerton Beach, Australia, along with a paper full of ciphers in his fob pocket. Despite getting international assistance, the local police could not identify this man or the reason for his death.
On 30 November 1948, the body of a well-dressed man was found on Somerton Beach, Australia. There were no traces of violence on his body. The witnesses had observed a half-smoked cigarette on his collar.
Initial reports had stated that this man was either poisoned or he died of cardiac failure. It was difficult to identify him as no ID or name tags were found. The only belongings found in his pockets were a packet of cigarettes, two combs, matches, chewing gum, and tickets to the beach. The autopsy report of this man was also not very helpful for the investigation. The only information obtained pointed to poisoning, but no poison was found in his blood. Some found athletic aspects to his body, some experts also said that he could be a ballet dancer as his toes were odd and wedge-shaped
The man’s fingerprints were circulated all over Australia with the hope of identifying him. The local people of Adelaide were also all contacted so that a name could be found. However, all these efforts went in vain. When the police were about to dismiss all investigations, they found a suitcase at the Adelaide railway station that was left there on 30 November. It was believed to be the dead man’s. The things found in the suitcase included clothes, screwdrivers, cuffs, scissors, etc.
Even though the identification marks from all clothes were removed, the cops found the name “T. Keane” on a tie. Using this name, a detailed search was performed in all English-speaking countries with the help of international assistance. However, the man remained unidentified.
Around this time, a tiny piece of paper was found in a hidden pocket of the man’s trousers, and it read “Tamam Shud.” This was a Persian phrase taken from a rare poetry book named The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam. The phrase meant “It is ended.” This newly found evidence suggested that it could be suicide as no missing reports were filed describing this man. The body was later buried.
Though several theories made the rounds, the actual cause of his death is still unknown. (1, 2)
3. In 1968, a robbery worth 294 million yen took place in Japan. It is still considered as the biggest heist in Japan, and the identity of the motorcyclist behind this robbery is still a mystery.
In December 1968, a man dressed in a Tokyo Metropolitan Police uniform robbed Nihon Shintaku Bank. As of the exchange rates of that year, this man had successfully stolen $817,500.
The man behind this heist was smart enough to wave down a car of Nihon Shintaku Bank. When he told the four bank employees in that car that their branch manager’s house has been blown up and there was dynamite planted within the car, the employees got out of the car in terror. The young man then entered the vehicle and started fake-searching for the dynamite. The employees could see smoke, and the young man warned them the car was about to explode.
This was when the bank employees ran away in terror, and the mysterious man drove away with the car full of money. The police tracked down the car, which was abandoned at a park, and afterward, the man drove off on a motorcycle. The police did not find any trace of the man after that.
In the hurry to solve the case fast, all youths of Western Tokyo with a motorcycle were brought in for interrogation. In 1975, the statute of limitations was also passed so that the robber could surrender without getting prosecuted. That didn’t help either. After 50 years, the case remains an unsolved crime.

4. Panchen Lama is the second most influential figure in Tibetian Buddhism. In 1995, a six-year-old boy was chosen as the 11th Panchen Lama. However, the little boy and his family vanished after three days of this announcement.
In 1995, Gedhun Choekyi Nyima, then six years old, was chosen as the 11th reincarnation of Panchen Lama. However, within three days of this revelation, this boy and his family mysteriously disappeared.
The Tibetans believe that their spiritual leaders get reincarnated after their death. In Buddhism, Panchen Lama is an influential leader with major spiritual authorities. He comes second only to the Dalai Lama. The word “panchen” means a great scholar.
It is known that the Dalai Lama himself had selected this boy after the death of Panchen Lama’s 10th reincarnation. It was heard that the Chinese government was not very happy with this choice. They believed that Gyancain Norbu, the government’s selected candidate, was the real Panchen Lama.
It is believed that the Chinese government had something to do with the disappearance of Choekyi Nyima and his family. Later, the government’s candidate Gyancain Norbu occupied the position. Since Norbu became an adult, he continued to participate in important political events in China.
The Chinese government has recently stated that Choekyi Nyima is now living the normal life of a 31-year-old as he has graduated and has a job. He and his family do not want any interruptions and that’s why their identities have been kept secret. However, there are not suitable proofs to back up this statement, and the whole episode still remains a mystery. (1, 2)
5. British resident, Julie Ward, died in 1988 during her trip to the Masai Mara Game Reserve in Kenya. Initially, the Kenyan government stated that she was either eaten by a lion or was struck by lightning. However, Ward’s father conducted a campaign and established that she was murdered.
Julie Ward was a budding wildlife photographer and she was based in England. In 1988, she went on a long vacation in Africa. During her trip to Masai Mara Game Reserve, she was accompanied by an Australian named Glen Burns. On 5 September, their vehicle had broken down and Burns had to go to Nairobi to repair the car. Ward, however, stayed back in a lodge.
On 6 September, when the vehicle was repaired, Ward was seen at a nearby camp, collecting some equipment. Afterward, she went missing. According to the Kenyan officials, she was either eaten by a lion or had died due to a strike of lighting. However, Ward’s father soon flew down to Kenya to find his missing daughter.
John Ward, her father took the investigation in hand as he continued his search by hiring a plane. Soon he found the vehicle and then Julie’s disjointed and burned body. Her father collected evidence that led the officials to admit that she was murdered. It was found that Julie’s bones were cut by a sharp blade, and it was done by a human, not an animal. It was also found that after disjointing her body, it was set on fire.
John Ward had spent over £2 million in this case, and he also claimed that the Kenyan government was trying to cover-up the murderers. Though three people were charged, none of them were convicted due to a lack of evidence. (1, 2)
6. In 2008, 13-year-old Arushi Talwar was murdered. The in-house cook of Arushi’s family, Hemraj, was also found murdered. Despite a lot of evidence and investigations, the murderer of Arushi Talwar is still not identified.
Arushi was the only child of Rajesh and Nupur Talwar, dentists living in Delhi, India. On 16 May 2008, the Talwars discovered Arushi’s body in her room. Their in-house cook, Hemraj, was missing, and the initial investigations of the police confirmed that Hemraj might have killed Arushi as he tried to assault her after drinking an entire bottle of Scotch. Rajesh Talwar also offered $500 to anybody who would rush to Hemraj’s village in Nepal to bring him back.
However, the next day, Hemraj’s dead body was discovered on the terrace of the same household. Both Arushi and Hemraj were found with their throats slit. Arushi was hit on her forehead, Hemraj was hit from the back. Even though Arushi was not sexually assaulted, traces of infection were found in her vagina.
The police considered Rajesh Talwar, Arushi’s father. as the prime suspect. They believed that Arushi and Hemraj were involved in a sexual relationship, and Rajesh murdered them after finding this out. The police also suspected Rajesh of an extramarital affair and said that Hemraj was blackmailing him and informed Arushi about this, so he killed them both.
However, the Talwars and their friends called this investigation a cover-up, and it was later handed over to CBI. CBI suspected Rajesh’s assistant and two other domestic help. The CBI believed that they were trying to sexually assault Arushi and Hemraj found out so both were killed. However, it was reported that the CBI was adopting questionable methods to convict them, and these three men were released as no suitable evidence was found against them.
In 2009, a new CBI team conducted the investigation and they also named Rajesh Talwar as the prime suspect. In 2013, Arushi’s parents were sentenced to life imprisonment but were released in 2017 due to a lack of evidence. Up to today, it remains one of the unsolved crimes. (1, 2)
7. Two Dutch students had gone hiking in the Panamas in 2014 but went missing. After extensive investigations, their body parts were found. In 2017, their death was linked to some local murders. The real cause of death is still unknown.
In 2014, two Dutch girls named Kris Kremers and Lisanne Froon had gone hiking in Panama. They were fresh graduates and were interested in hiking. They moved to Panama intending to help the local children through volunteering. After six weeks into the vacation, these two girls went hiking in a nearby forest. They even posted on Facebook about this hike and explained that they would walk to Boquete. Some locals had witnessed them having brunch with two Dutchmen as well.
However, that very night, these girls went missing. Their parents also stopped receiving texts from them. Soon, their parents arrived in Panama and offered $30,000 as a reward to anyone who could find them. After 10 weeks of substantial searches, Lisanne’s backpack was recovered along with their mobile phones, cash, passports, and camera. The call records showed that both girls had dialed emergency numbers before their phone batteries died.
Their camera had over ninety flash photos taken in darkness. It was believed that they were near a river at that time. Some plastic bags, toilet paper, and even the back of Kris’ head were also featured in those pictures. The searches were continued, and after two months, parts of their body like their pelvis and their boots with feet were found along with 33 scattered bones.
The DNA tests confirmed that they belonged to Kris and Lisanne. In 2017, their death was linked to some local murders, but no clear evidence has been found yet. (1, 2)
8. Jil Dando, a popular journalist on the BBC show Crimewatch, was murdered in front of her own house in 1999. A person called Barry George was arrested but was released later due to insufficient evidence. It is an unsolved crime even now.
Jill Dando was a popular British journalist on BBC. She hosted the show “Crimewatch” and discussed unresolved crimes. Her death became an unresolved crime.
On 26 April 1999, Dando returned from her father’s place to her own house in Fulham around 11:32 p.m. As soon as she reached the front door, she was shot dead. The autopsy reports had revealed that the gun was pressed against her head at the time of the shooting. One of the neighbors of Dando confirmed that he didn’t hear the gunshot, but he had seen a tall man, aged around 40, leaving Dando’s house. At that time, the neighbor wasn’t aware of her murder.
After extensive investigations, some potential suspects were narrowed down by the police. This list included a jealous ex-boyfriend, a professional murderer hired by someone, some insane fan, etc. After one year of investigation, the cops identified a local man named Barry George who had a history of stalking and abusing women. He was arrested in 2000 but was later released due to insufficient evidence. As of today, this crime is still unresolved. (source)
9. In 1981, a German girl, Ursula Herrmann, was abducted when she was cycling very close to her home. Her parents also received cryptic calls and ransom notes before her disappearance. Two weeks after her disappearance, Ursula’s body was found buried in a forest.
Ursula Herrman was a ten-year-old girl living in Germany. On 15 September 1981, she was cycling from her cousin’s home to her own, which was only a ten-minute distance from her house. However, she disappeared after that.
After two days, her parents started receiving cryptic calls where no one was speaking, and only radio jingles were played. Later, her parents received a ransom note where the kidnappers demanded DM 2 million. After Ursula’s mother said they would pay the ransom, the kidnappers sent another ransom note stating payment instructions.
After two weeks of her abduction, an extensive search was performed in the forest, and Ursula’s dead body was found buried in a box. It was a furnished box with food, a radio, ventilation, etc. However, the air exchange wasn’t sufficient, and forensic reports stated that Ursula had died of suffocation.
Werner Mazurek, a neighbor of Ursula, was considered a suspect, but he had an alibi. One of his friends told the police that Mazurek had dug a hole in the forest, but he later denied it. Afterward, this case stalled.
However, in 2007, Werner Mazurek and his wife were arrested as a tape recorder was indeed found from Mazurek’s home, and the police suspected that jingles were played on it. Later, Mazurek was sentenced to life imprisonment while his wife was released.
However, the DNA analysis performed on the box where Ursula was found could not provide any proper matches. The saliva samples of Mazurek also didn’t match. Hence, even though Mazurek was convicted, there was no appropriate evidence against him. Therefore, this case remained an unsolved one.
In 2018, Ursula’s brother was awarded payment for the family’s partial damage. (1, 2)
10. On 26 January, Australian Day, 1966, three children took a bus ride to reach Glenelg Beach and mysteriously disappeared without a trace.
Three children, Jane, Arnna, and Grant, were taking a bus to Glenelg Beach on 26 January 1966. However, they mysteriously disappeared and never returned to their parents. Though many people confirmed seeing them at various locations that day, nobody could tell where they had gone.
The police had conducted a detailed search but didn’t find any sign of the kids. Many theories made the rounds after that. It was thought that the kids were accidentally buried while playing with sand. Some also said that they might have been kidnapped. The mother of these children, Nancy, was painfully blamed after their disappearance and until her death, she lived an agonized life. The parents of the kids even separated due to this immense trauma.
Dieter Pfennig was a suspect, as he was convicted for the murder of a schoolgirl in 1983. However, no strong evidence was found against him. The government announced a $1 million reward for a report of any trace of the children. However, despite several investigations, the case remains unresolved. (source)
