Jodine Serrin.
On Valentine's Day in 2007, Art and Lois Serrin went to visit their 39-year-old daughter,
Jodine, at her condo.
Jodine was mentally disabled, and even though she was able to live independently, she still
required frequent visits from her parents to check in on her.
When the Serrins arrived at the condo that night, the lights were on, but they could
not unlock the front door because the safety chain was latched.
After receiving no answer when they called out Jodine's name, Art busted open the door.
He walked in to Jodine's `darkened bedroom and was surprised to find an unidentified
man having sex with his daughter.
Art told the man to get dressed and leave.
The parents waited in the living room to allow their daughter a moment of privacy.
They expected an embarrassed couple to exit the bedroom, but no one did.
After several minutes had passed, the Serrins returned to the bedroom and were treated to
a horrifying sight: Jodine's lifeless nude body was now lying on the bed.
She had been beaten and strangled to death.
Incredibly, Jodine's killer had been brazen enough to quietly sneak out of the condo before
they discovered what he had done.
Investigators later found, she had been dead for between 12 and 24 hours.
Police have no leads, but they do have a complete genetic profile from DNA collected at the
scene.
There is a $52,000 reward for information leading to an arrest in the case.
IN early 2017 Parabon NanoLabs used their cutting-edge technology, which usually costs
almost $4,000 a scan, to type the DNA left at the crime-scene in a state-of-the-art process
known as phenotyping.
This cutting-edge process uses the collected DNA sample to can for many features of its
beholder, including skin color, eye color, hair color, gender, ancestry and face shape.
The technology even has the ability to foretell if the owner of the DNA has freckles or not.
According to the phenotyping, the male suspect who murdered Serrin had very fair skin, green
or blue eyes, blonde or brown hair and some freckles.
He is likely in his 40s and of Northern European descent.
Based on the eye-witness account of the night of his daughter's murder, Jodine Serrin's
father description of the suspect also lead the police to believe that, the suspect is
burly with a flabby stomach and unkempt hair.
Based on the evidence presented the murderer is between 5 feet 8 inches and 6 feet tall.
However, the efforts made in this investigation have not yet resulted in the arrest of the
person responsible for this tragic murder.
2.Arlis Perry Arlis Perry was a 19-year-old woman from Bismarck,
North Dakota who moved to Stanford, California to live with her husband Bruce Perry, a sophomore
student at Stanford University.
On the night of October 12, 1974, Arlis and Bruce got into a small argument about their
car's tire pressure while walking around campus.
Arlis decided that she wanted to be alone for a while and walked to the Stanford Memorial
Church by herself.
She went into the church shortly before midnight.
According to the security guard Crawford, he closed the church at a little after midnight.
Crawford told investigators that he found all the doors locked when he later checked
the church at around 2 a.m.
Bruce, meanwhile, was starting to get worried.
Arlis still hadn't come back yet.
After driving around campus looking for her, Bruce called the police at 3 AM.
They checked the church, but found that the doors were still locked.
At about 5:45 AM, When Crawford came to open the church, he saw that the door on the west
side of the church was open.
It had been forced from the inside.
As he walked inside, he discovered Arlis's body under a pew.
She was laying on her back, naked from the waist-down and with her legs spread apart.
She hadn't been raped, but she had been sexually assaulted with a candlestick.
Another candlestick was pushed in between her breasts.
Her death was caused by blows to the back of her head with an ice-pick, which was found
lodged into her skull.
A palm print was found on one of the candles, and a trace of semen was discovered on a kneeling
pillow.
Neither pieces of evidence were matched to Crawford or Bruce Perry.
Seven people, including Arlis and the guard, entered the building that evening.
Only six have been identified.
The remaining figure is described as a young man of medium build, standing about five-foot-ten.
Because of the location of the murder, and the strange position of Arlis's body, some
suggest that she was killed as part of a satanic ritual.
Journalist Maury Terry, in his 1987 book "The Ultimate Evil" theorized that an associate
of serial killer David Berkowitz, the infamous Son of Sam, was the murderer.
In 1979, Berkowitz sent a book to authorities in North Dakota in which, in the margin, he's
reported to have scrawled: "Arliss [sic] Perry.
Hunted, Stalked, and Slain.
Followed to Calif.
Stanford University."
While behind bars, Berkowitz claimed that he'd joined a satanic cult in 1975 and that
he killed in collaboration with other members, at least one of whom hailed from North Dakota.
Berkowitz was interviewed by law enforcement but no arrests were made.
Terry further proposed that the killer was a local Stanford man who happened to be named
Bruce Perry — not the victim's husband.
Prior to her murder, Arlis had even stumbled across the other Bruce Perry in a Stanford
phone book, and mentioned it in letters to friends.
After the killing, that other Bruce Perry vanished and has never been located.
Rather than writing it off as an odd coincidence, Terry thinks this other Bruce was ordered
to kill Arlis by a satanic cult she allegedly met before moving to California.
Authorities, however, have long dismissed this theory.
Furthermore, Berkowitz's clique of fellow murderous satanists has never been proven
to exist, and investigators are skeptical that he knows anything about Arlis's murder.
The only other possible lead comes from an attorney who practiced at the law firm where
Arlis was working as a secretary.
The day before her murder, the attorney saw Arlis arguing with an unfamiliar man he assumed
was her husband.
The man turned out not to be Arlis's husband, however, and has never been identified.
3.Colonial Parkway Killer On October 12, 1986, Cathleen Thomas and Rebecca
Ann Dowski were found with their throats slashed in Thomas' Honda Civic.
The car had been pushed down an embankment along the Colonial Parkway.
Investigators found that the women had rope burns and signs of strangulation before their
throats were slashed.
There was no evidence of sexual assault and no sign of a robbery.
One of the women appears to have fought with the assailant.
Investigators found a clump of hair in Thomas' fingers.
It also appeared that the killer attempted to set fire to their bodies and the vehicle,
but was unsuccessful.
This would be very first attack by an unkown killer who murdered at least eight individuals
and possibly an additional four more in the Colonial Parkway area of Virginia.
The serial killer has never been found and the Colonial Parkway murders remain unsolved
to this day.
In September of 1987, David Knobling and Robin Edwards disappeared.
Knobling's truck was found at the Ragged Island Wildlife Refuge near Smithfield, Virginia.
The keys were in the ignition and the driver's side door was open.
The radio was on, and Knobling's wallet was found on the dash.
Several days later, their bodies washed up along the shore of the James River two miles
downriver in the Ragged Island Refuge.
They had both been shot to death.
Knobling and Edwards were both partially clothed.
Knobling was wearing jeans.
The belt on Edwards' jeans was not fastened.
Her bra was around her neck, under her blouse.
Edwards' and Knoblings' underwear were both found in the truck.
Police believe they were marched from the truck to the river where they were executed
and dumped.
In April of 1988, Cassandra Lee Hailey and Richard Keith Call were reported missing after
attending a party for Newport News.
Keith's car was found along the Colonial Parkway the next day.
Again, the driver's side door was ajar and the keys were in the ignition.
The glove box was open.
All of the couple's clothing was found in the backseat of the car, meaning they left
the car completely nude.
There was no sign of a struggle.
Neither body has been found, but they are presumed dead.
In October 1989, hunters in the woods of New Kent County near the rest stop between Richmond
and Williamsburg discovered the skeletal remains of Anna Marie Phelps and Daniel Lauer.
They had last been seen on September 5, 1989.
Lauer's gold 1973 Chevrolet Nova was found parked at the rest stop on the westbound side
of I-64 that same day.
Again, the keys were in the ignition and the gas tank was three-quarters full.
Ms. Phelps' purse was in the car and some of Lauer's clothing was also found in the
car.
Their bodies were found less than a mile from the rest stop.
Although the state of decomposition made it difficult to determine a cause of death, police
believe they were stabbed to death.
Other possibly linked victims are Brian Craig Pettinger, whose body was found in February
1988 along the James River near Suffolk, and Laurie Ann Powell, who was discovered on April
2, 1988 along the James River.
Ms. Powell had been stabbed multiple times.
In addition, the 1984 murders of Michael Margaret and Donna Hall bear a resemblance to the later
"Colonial Parkway killings."
On August 21, 1984, the bodies of Michael Margaret and his girlfriend, Donna Lynn Hall,
were found in a wooded area just west of Richmond, Virginia.
They were about 70 feet from Michael Margaret's Jeep.
They had been stabbed multiple times and their throats had been slashed.
There was no apparent motive.
The couple had told friends that they were going camping.
Margaret's Jeep, found near the bodies, held suitcases and a cooler.
Money did not appear to be a motivation in any of these murders, and the victims did
not appear to struggle.
Law enforcement officials began to theorize that the serial killer was either a law enforcement
officer or posed as an authority figure.
This may explain why Call's glove box was opened – in an attempt by Call to obtain
his registration, which is normally held in the glove box.
In addition to the theory of the Colonial Parkway Killer being a law enforcement officer
or posing as one, others suggest that the killer may be a rogue CIA operative from the
Central Intelligence Agency, which have a training center in nearby Camp Perry in York
County.
Other experts claim it may be more than one killer working as a team.
In January 2010, the case was reopened by the FBI.
There was a quite substantial set of evidence that had never been tested for DNA.
Although initially indicating that DNA testing would be completed later in 2010, the testing
continued through the fall of 2011.
As of today, no one has been identified as the killer.

St. Louis Jane Doe On February 28, 1983, two men looking for
a piece of metal to fix a car's timing chain made a very grisly discovery inside a vacant
apartment building on 5365 Clemens Avenue.
In the basement, they found the body of a young girl, wearing only a dirty yellow sweater.
She had been positioned face down and was nude from the waist downward.
Her hands were tied behind her back with red and white nylon rope -- and her head was missing.
She was believed to have been strangled three to five days earlier and was then disposed
of in the basement of an abandoned house.
She was initially believed to possibly be a prostitute until police had moved her body
and discovered she did not have developed breasts, indicating she had not gone through
puberty.
Further examination was conducted within the next week.
It was concluded that the victim was not killed at the location where it was discovered, as
no traces of blood were found by the body.
Her head had been severed cleanly by a large blade, possibly a carving knife.
She was between eight and eleven years old and was prepubescent, but had been raped.
She wore only a V neck yellow, long sleeved, sweater and two layers of pink and purple
nail polish.
Her head has never been found, but the fingerprints, footprints and DNA information have been collected.
Because there were no distinct marks or deformities on her body, except for spina bifida occulta,
it is unlikely that she would be identified.
She was given two nicknames to honor her life: Hope and Little Jane Doe.
Four missing girls have been ruled out as the victim, as well as the Northampton County
Jane Doe from North Carolina, who was ruled out to be the remaining parts of the body.
She was approximately 4'10" to 5'6" tall when she was alive.
After ten months her burial took place in December 1983.
In 2013, Authorities decided to exhume the body in order to gather more forensic information
about the victim.
The remains had been misplaced, along with many other bodies in the Washington Park Cemetery,
due to the negligence of cemetery records and were not found until mid June.
The remains were located by using camera calibration techniques to determine precisely where a
photograph of the casket had been taken on the day of the burial.
After tests on samples of her bones were concluded, the victim is believed to have spent a large
portion of her life in the Midwestern and Northeastern states, or perhaps West Virginia.
Her sweater had previously been sent to a psychic in Florida but was never returned,
presumably lost in the mail.
She was largely assumed to have been a victim of Vernon Brown.In the mid-1970's, Vernon
Brown was convicted of molesting a twelve-year-old girl, subsequently spending four years in
Indiana in 1980.
After his release, nine-year-old Kimberly Campbell was found raped and strangled in
a vacant home owned by his grandmother.
However, despite being the clear suspect in the murder, not enough evidence could be obtained
to charge him with the crime.
Years later Vernon lived on Enright Avenue in St. Louis, Missouri, but was using a phony
name of Thomas Turner.
On October 24th, 1986, Vernon just arrived back home after picking up his stepchildren
from school.
At approximately 3:00 p.m. he was sitting on his front porch watching children walk
home after being dropped off the school bus.
During this, nine year old, Janet Perkins was passing by on her fifteen-minute walk
to her residence a few blocks away.
That's when Vernon took notice and enticed Janet into his home.
Although the stepchildren saw her come inside, Vernon ordered them into their bedrooms and
locked their doors from the outside.
Moments later he lead Janet down to his basement where he bound her feet and only one hand
with a wire coat hanger.
He then began to strangle her to death with a rope, all the while the stepchildren could
hear her screams through the air vents.
Three days later, the police arrested Vernon after discovering two trash bags containing
Janet's body in an alley behind his home.
Vernon's neighbor testified on his behalf saying he had noticed Janet enter his home.
After his apprehension, he willingly admitted on videotape that he murdered Janet Perkins.
Surprisingly, Vernon elaborated further by confessing to the murder of nineteen-year-old,
Synetta Ford a year prior on March 7th, 1985.
She was strangled by an electrical cord and stabbed multiple times in an apartment basement
where Vernon had worked as a maintenance man.
Strangely, he was arrested for her murder but let go soon after when he gave homicide
investigators another false alias.
During his prison stint, the police frequently questioned him about other possible victims,
particularly Little Jane Doe, but he never confessed to her or any other murder(s).
The police suspect Vernon Brown can be involved with at least twenty unsolved murder cases.
Brown was executed in 2005 and never confessed to murdering Little Jane Doe.
She remains unidentified to this date.

Circleville letters In 1976, the citizens of Circleville, Ohio
began receiving sinister handwritten letters.
The anonymous author knew many personal details about each resident and claimed to be watching
them.
They were postmarked from nearby Columbus, without a return address.
The most dangerous letters were directed at Mary Gillispie.
The Circleville Letter Writer accused the local bus driver of having an affair with
the superintendent of schools.
One of the threatening letters said "I know where you live,I've been observing your
house and know you have children.
This is no joke.
Please take it serious."
Within eight days, Mary received a similar letter.
She kept the letters to herself, until her husband, Ron, received one as well.
The letter stated that if Ron did not stop his wife's affair, his life would be in danger.
After two weeks, a new letter arrived at the Gillispie door: "Gillispie, you have had
2 weeks and done nothing.
Admit the truth and inform the school board.
If not, I will broadcast it on CBS, posters, signs, and billboards, until the truth comes
out."
Mary and Ron only told three people about the letters: Ron's sister, her husband Paul
Freshour, and Paul's sister.
Mary had some ideas about who might be sending the letters.
They decided to have Paul write letters to the suspect, claiming that they know who he/she
was.
The plan seemed to work; the letters stopped for several weeks.
However, that changed on August 19, 1977, when Ron received a phone call from the alleged
writer.
Mary never did find out what was said or who made the call, but it was assumed to be the
phantom author.
Ron lost his temper, grabbed his pistol and left the house.
At an intersection close to where they lived, Ron's vehicle struck a tree and killed Ron
Gillespie.
If the caller was indeed the letter writer, then he or she had clearly carried out on
the threat to Ron's life.
When the police investigated the crash, they discovered that Ron's gun had been fired
once.
Detectives could find no reason or excuse for Ron to have fired at all whether it was
deliberate or not.
The crash happened moments after Ron drove away and no shot was reported.
Sheriff Dwight Radcliffe questioned and eliminated at least one suspect in the case.
He then ruled Ron's death an accident, claiming that he had lost control and crashed while
driving drunk.
However, several residents soon received letters stating that Sheriff Radcliffe had been involved
in a cover-up.
According to Paul, Sheriff Radcliffe initially agreed that the death was a result of foul
play.
However, he allegedly changed his mind when the suspect passed a polygraph test.
Ron's blood alcohol level was .16, which was twice the legal limit.
However, many of Ron's friends and family were surprised by this; they did not think
that he was a heavy drinker.
After Ron's death, the letters kept coming.
His wife, Mary, and the superintendent of schools eventually admitted to a relationship,
but said it began after the letters were sent.
Mary kept her job driving a school bus.In February of 1983, Mary was harassed along
her bus route; the letter writer apparently began placing threatening signs next to the
road.
One day, Mary had enough and decided to go and rip the sign down.
When she did, she discovered a booby trap designed to kill her.
The trap had a box which contained a small pistol; if Mary had pulled the sign off a
certain way, the gun would have fired.
Police examined the firearm.
While the serial number was partially scratched off, it was still traceable.
The weapon belonged to Mary's former brother-in-law, Paul Freshour, who had recently separated
from Ron's sister.
Paul, however, claimed that the gun had been stolen but never reported it stolen.
On February 25, 1983, Sheriff Radcliffe asked Paul to meet with him and take a handwriting
test.
He asked Paul to try and copy the handwriting from the letters.
The sheriff also searched Paul's garage.
He turned all the evidence he gathered over to the courts.
On October 24, 1983, he went on trial for the attempted murder of Mary Gillespie.
Although he was never charged with writing the threatening letters, they became a crucial
part of the evidence against him.
A handwriting expert testified that Paul was the letter writer.
Mary also testified that she believed that he was the writer after his wife visited her
with the same suspicion.
Paul's boss also testified that he was not at work on the day that the booby trap was
found.
Even though Paul had a solid alibi for almost the entire day, he never took the stand in
his own defense.
Paul Freshour was given the maximum sentence for attempted murder: 7 to 25 years.
Everyone assumed he had written the Circleville letters.
And everyone figured they would stop once Paul was in prison.
But the letters continued.
All of them were postmarked Columbus, even though Paul was imprisoned across the state
in Lima.
While there, he himself received letters from the writer.
It read, in part: "Now when are you going to believe you aren't going to get out of
there?
I told you 2 years ago.
When we set 'em up, they stay set up.
Don't you listen at all?"
In December 1990, Paul became eligible for parole.
He was denied parole due to the letters, even though there was no way that he could be sending
them.
In May of 1994, Paul Freshour was finally granted parole after serving 10 years.
Paul maintained his innocence until his death in 2012.
Six months after Freshour's release, TV show Unsolved Mysteries aired a segment on
the Circleville Letters.
A few days later, the network received a postcard, apparently from the letter writer.
It read "Forget Circleville Ohio: Do Nothing to Hurt Sheriff Radcliff: If You Come to Ohio
You El Sickos Will Pay'' and it was signed by ''The Circleville Writer''.
The Circleville letters initially stopped but the identity of the circleville writer
remains unknown.
