4 unusual facts about Cleveland Torso Murderer


Cleveland Torso Murderer

Three headless victims were found in boxcars near McKees Rocks, Pennsylvania, on May 3, 1940.

The almost identical similarities between the victims in New Castle to those in Cleveland, Ohio, coupled with the similarities between New Castle's Murder Swamp and Cleveland's Kingsbury Run, both of which were directly connected by a Baltimore and Ohio Railroad line, were enough to convince Cleveland Detective Peter Merylo that the New Castle murders were the work of the “Mad Butcher of Kingsbury Run”.

David Fincher planned to make a film about the murders after making a movie about another unidentified serial killer, known as Zodiac.

Author William Bernhardt wrote a novel about the murders, and Elliot Ness' involvement titled Nemesis: the Final Case of Elliot Ness.
