Nope, this is not a thread for that movie.
I just can't think of any good thread title.
I have always been fascinated with puzzles and mysteries
and the thing that mystifies me most are murder stories.
Discuss:
+ Famous murders
+ Famous murderers/serial killers/criminals of similar acts
+ Killing! whee
+ Movies related?

Jack the Ripper, the most famous serial killer of all time.
Source: Crime Library
Jack the Ripper represents the classic whodunit. Not only is the case an enduring unsolved mystery that professional and amateur sleuths have tried to solve for over a hundred years, but the story has a terrifying, almost supernatural quality to it. He comes from out of the fog, kills violently and quickly and disappears without a trace. Then for no apparent reason, he satisfies his blood lust with ever-increasing ferocity, culminating in the near destruction of his final victim, and then vanishes from the scene forever. The perfect ingredients for the perennial thriller.
The First Victim
When Charles Cross walked through Whitechapel's Buck's Row just before four in the morning Friday, August 31, 1888, it was dark and seemingly deserted. It was chilly and damp, not unusual for London even in the summer, especially before dawn. He saw something that looked like a tarpaulin lying on the ground before the entrance to a stable yard.
As he walked closer, he saw it was a woman lying on her back, her skirts lifted almost to her waist.
A few minutes later, Police Constable John Neil happened by the body while he was walking his beat. From the light of his lantern, he could see that blood was oozing from her throat which had been slashed from ear to ear. Her eyes were wide open and staring. Even though her hands and wrists were cold, Neil felt warmth in her arms. He called to another policeman who summoned a doctor and an ambulance.
While the body was being stripped, Inspector Spratling discovered that her abdomen had been wounded and mutilated.

You should look in to Patrica Cornwell, she is a really good writter, she does mostly Murder Mistorys and she has published a book on The Jack the Ripper killings and she her self has anilized it and thinks she has solved it, it is a really good novel! I think you would like them and you should check them out!

Highly disturbing, that is. Kenji, you're really into solving crimes and mysteries, aren't you?
Of all the serial killers, Seig is most fascinated with Ted Bundy.

Haha! Maybe I should? Ne?
But IRL, it's a whole lot different from the things we see at CSI.
Specially in our country, right? wink
I dunno though.. I'm taking up a computer course, so..
CSI processing would be under my field too..
Who knows? rolleyes
