News24xx.com -  It's very good for everyone to be careful when you at outdoors alone, especially at night. Especially, if you lived in the dark area. But in the midst of an era of rapid technological advances, there are still some criminal cases that can not be solved, even cases from decades ago.

Like the story of four cases of murder :

1. Dennis Maher
On the evening of November 16, 1983, a woman walking through Lowell, Massachusetts. And she was attacked by a male assailant and raped. 

And tragic, the following night, another woman was attacked by a man in the exact same area, but she managed to escape and provide a description to police.

Then, a resident named Dennis Maher was detained. Maher was charged with the attacks. Years later, he got in touch with The Innocence Project, an organization dedicated to helping wrongfully convicted people. 

They successfully lobbied for DNA testing on the evidence, and it excluded Maher as the perpetrator of the rapes. 

And in 2003, he was released after serving 19 years in prison for crimes he didn’t commit.Unfortunately for Maher, he had been railroaded from his job because of an unbelievable series of coincidences. 

From the infomation of the second victim,  her attacker wore a red hooded sweatshirt and military-style jacket and had threatened her with a knife. And later that night, while exiting a liquor store, Maher garnered a cop’s attention because he was wearing a red hooded sweatshirt. A military jacket and a knife were later found in Maher’s vehicle.

However, at the time, Maher was a sergeant in the United States Army, so it wasn’t unusual for him to have a military jacket and military knife in his vehicle. After DNA testing exonerated Maher, it became apparent the victims who identified him were mistaken, and that he was just a tragic victim of bad luck. The real perpetrator was never found.

2. Mary Henderson Morris
On the morning of October 12, 2000,Mary Henderson Morris,  48-year-old,  left her Houston home. Later that day, her burned car was found in a remote area with Mary’s torched body inside.

Curiously, the victim’s wedding ring was missing. 

And three days later when a 39-year-old woman was found dead inside her car in the same vicinity. She had been beaten and shot with her own gun.

The victim’s name is Mary McGinnis Morris.

Shortly before her death, Mary McGinnis Morris had made a frantic phone call to 911 while she was being attacked. Attention soon turned toward Mary’s husband, Mike Morris, who decided to collect a substantial life insurance policy from his wife’s death. 

Mike had an alibi during the time of Mary’s murder, phone records showed that he made a four-minute call to Mary’s cell phone, two hours after her frantic call to 911. 

Mike claimed that no one answered the call, and that he let Mary’s phone ring for four straight minutes. This led to a theory that Mike hired someone to murder his wife but they killed another person named Mary Morris by mistake. 

 

3. Michael Palmer
In missing person cases, it’s extremely rare for two siblings to go missing at different times under completely different circumstances. 

In 1999,  Michael Palmer,15-year-old who lived in Wasilla, Alaska and was the youngest of three brothers. 

During in the early morning hours of June 4, Michael and three friends left a graduation party on their bicycles, but Michael got so far behind them and they lost sight of him. When Michael never returned home, he was reported missing. 

Michael’s bicycle was later discovered in the Little Susitna River, and his wet, muddy sneakers were found 180 meters (600 ft) away. A search of the river turned up no trace of Michael’s body, and he has never been found.

On April 13 2010, Michael’s older brother named Chucky 30-year-old, also disappear under mysterious circumstances. He was staying with friends and relatives at a cabin in the Talkeetna Mountains. That night, they decided to take a ride through the area on their snowmobiles. 

However, much like his younger brother, Chucky became separated from his group at some point and was never seen again. His snowmobile was found the following day, but there was no sign of Chucky or any footprints in the area.

4. Lucia de Berk
One of the most sensational murder cases in the history of the Netherlands was the trial of Lucia de Berk. 

De Berk worked as a pediatric nurse at three different hospitals in The Hague. On September 4, 2001, De Berk was present when an infant girl died at the Juliana Children’s Hospital. 

After an investigation, the hospital concluded that these deaths were unnatural and decided to press charges against De Berk. Because, her co-workers soon expressed concern after noticing a pattern: The death happened when De Berk on duty.

On March 24, 2003, she was sentenced to life imprisonment on four counts of murder and three counts of attempted murder.Since there was no physical evidence against De Berk, or any witnesses to her crimes, they claimed that De Berk’s presence in the hospital when all these deaths took place could not be coincidental. 

An expert testified that the odds of it being a coincidence were 1 in 342 million. However, De Berk had numerous supporters who believed she was the victim of a miscarriage of justice, and appealed her conviction.  

A new investigation concluded that De Berk’s alleged murders were likely natural deaths. In April 2010, she received a not guilty verdict and was eexonerated.
