FBI updates photo of University of Wisconsin bomber wanted for 53 years

below the skin of history are London's veins. Welcome to watch Mojo and today we're counting down our picks for the top 10 crimes that will never be solved. It's an incredibly beautiful room as you can see. And sadly it's also perhaps the biggest crime scene in the world. I can guarantee you this killer will be caught. They do not want to expose to the public that Los Angeles police officers were involved in the conspiracy to kill biggie Smalls for this list. We're looking at the most disturbing things people got away with and will likely never answer for will be excluding crimes where the public and authorities disagree over whether the true culprit was found. Let us know in the comments below which case you hope will be solved. One day. Number 10 DB Cooper. It's not often someone holds an entire plane for ransom and gets away with it. But that's exactly what happened in 1971. A man dressed in a suit and sunglasses, identified only by the name Dan Cooper. On his ticket bordered a flight from Portland to Seattle. He calmly told the flight attendants he brought a bomb on board and demanded four parachutes and $200,000 cash. Miss your um you're being hijacked. I've got a bomb. Come sit next to me not wanting to risk 40 innocent lives. The FBI gave cooper exactly what he wanted. He also expressed that he wasn't going to be taken alive. The plane landed at Seattle Tacoma airport to collect then took off again. Whereupon cooper parachuted out of the plane and disappeared forever. We slowed the airplane down and I got on the phone and said all right now you should be able to lower the stairs. In the years since the FBI has yet to conclusively identify him. Number nine. The Tylenol poisonings seven people mysteriously passed away from cyanide poisoning in Chicago over a matter of days in 1982 exactly what is going on right now. They're just assuming that it could be the cyanide laced capsules. Also, police found that the victims had one thing in common. They had all recently purchased and taken Tylenol that had been laced with a large amount of the substance. Although the Tylenol bottles were of the same batch, they were bought from different stores. While suspects emerged, there was almost no evidence, thanks to a total lack of CCTV witnesses and forensics. Well we are 99% sure that the putting a cyanide and these capsules occurred after the materials got Illinois. Number one, there was a massive Tylenol recall. The case led to the implementation of tamper proof medication packaging to stop this from ever happening again. The strange nature of the crime, seemingly designed to cause mass hysteria and nothing else has left it unsolved for decades. # eight The Atlas Vampire. Despite the crimes sensationalism and violent nature. The culprit behind a gory vampire like crime in the atlas area of Stockholm has never been caught in 1932, a sex worker named Lily Lindstrom was found deceased in her own apartment, but she had lost all of her blood chillingly. Whoever committed the crime seemed to have taken it with them, investigators also found a ladle with Lindstrom's blood. This led the police to believe someone may have consumed it before leaving. It was this aspect of the horrific crime that made the police nicknamed the culprit atlas vampire. Although it doesn't seem they ever struck again. This criminal was never caught. Number seven Jimmy Hoffa's final fate after disappearing under very suspicious circumstances in 1975 Jimmy Hoffa's body has never been found. It's highly likely that the mafia was involved in his untimely demise. You know, they're trying to tear the union apart. Big business and the government. Hoffa was a prominent labor leader and teamster who was once in the mafia's pocket, but after he got on their bad side, the organization may have come after him. The person who did the deed may have been frank Sharon, one of the mafia's most famous hitmen. He reportedly confessed to the murder, although this is disputed regardless, the lack of forensic evidence and body have made it impossible to put this crime to rest. Number six. The mystery around Jonbenet Ramsey 1996 stories spread throughout the United States of a horribly tragic crime, the body of young beauty queen Jonbenet Ramsey had been found in the cellar of her own home. Initially reported missing because of a ransom note found in the house. The discovery of her body changed everything. How long ago was this? I don't know. I took the note. My daughter's checker suspicion immediately fell on her parents and it was theorized that they could have faked the ransom note. However, there's no evidence to implicate them. I did not have anything to do with it. I love that child with my whole of my heart and soul. And while a few other suspects who had disturbing fixations on Ramsey while she was still alive emerged, the crime scene still had almost nothing by way of forensics. By the time the first officer arrived at the scene, the house is filled with Patsy and john's friends. This has left the case with no conclusive suspect. There may have been hair fibers from the perpetrator. There may have been footprints on the carpet. There may have been fingerprints. So now you have everybody going all over the house. You know, the whole place is like a little bit of a, like a train station by then number five who put Bella in the Witch Elm during World war Two, a group of young boys made a grisly discovery. There were human remains in a forest in rural England. The police soon found that there was an entire skeleton inside of a tree trunk. Although the woman was never officially identified ominous graffiti, asking who put Bella in the witch Elm began to appear nearby theories about the woman who may or may not have been named Bella very significantly. There are people that believe that she may have been a german spy and cabaret performer who parachuted into the UK and met a grim end. Others believe the fact that she was inside a tree means her demise had something to do with witchcraft. Either way, the question the graffiti asked remains unanswered # four Tupac & Biggie. Within a brief period in 1996 and 1997 hip hop legends Tupac, shakur and Biggie Smalls A. K. A. The notorious B. I. G. Were shot in separate incidents in Vegas and L. A. Respectively, pockets a strong dude. I know Duke, you know what I'm saying? He's real strong. So when they was like, he got shot, I was just more like, again, you don't say he always gets shot. What's that? They were both incredibly prominent figures in the famous East Coast West Coast hip hop rivalry at the time. This has led people to blame their shootings on everything from gang violence to corruption in the L. A. P. D. David Mack and Amir muhammed are somehow involved in this case and the department time and time again has avoided the truth and since Biggie was attacked second, some believe his demise was retaliation for tupac's suspects did emerge in the cases from Crips member Orlando Anderson to record Executive Suge Knight? I got a deep slash for bullet grazed the back of my neck. What if if anyone another inch, it hit my spine and paralyzed, but the FBI has been unable to arrest anybody for either crime. Number three the zodiac killer san Francisco's most infamous criminal took the lives of at least five people. He claimed to have taken 37 in total. Don't get up. I want her to tie you up throughout an investigation that took police all over the san Francisco bay area. The only major piece of evidence the authorities had was one sketch. The zodiac perpetrator is so notorious because he taunted the cops with ominous letters and complex ciphers and when the texts were decoded, officials got deranged messages that didn't offer much evidence. You will get tired then leave me alone. Mhm I'm waiting for a good movie about me. Who will play me? I'm now in control of all things. Whoever the criminal was, he seemed to disappear in the seventies for a mysterious reason, authorities still don't know who it was. Number two, The Black Dahlia in january of 1947 the bisected body of Elizabeth short dubbed the Black Dahlia in the press soon after was discovered in Los Angeles. The grisly crime has haunted the city for decades because despite the high profile nature of the incident, nobody was ever charged. The most popular suspect for shorts demise today is dr George hotel. Not only is he suspected by many, including his living relatives, he's also believed to be responsible for more gruesome crimes? The Black Dahlia case may have even spawned copycats like the horrifying lipstick murder of Jean French just weeks later. Even Ifhe Odell was responsible, he died in 1999 and could never be brought to justice.

He haunted the streets of London for months during 1888, jack the ripper took the lives of at least five women and may have attacked even more people in horrifying ways outside a your face.

FBI updates photo of University of Wisconsin bomber wanted for 53 years

More than 50 years after a Vietnam War-era bombing on the University of Wisconsin campus that killed a researcher, the FBI on Thursday released age-processed photographs of a suspect who has thus far evaded law enforcement and been referred to as “Wisconsin's state ghost.”Video above: 10 crimes that will never be solvedLeo Burt was placed on the FBI's most wanted list immediately after the 1970 bombing of Sterling Hall and remains the last fugitive sought by the FBI in connection with radical anti-Vietnam War activities.The bombers parked a stolen van packed with fertilizer and fuel outside the university’s Army Math Research Center in Sterling Hall and lit the fuse in the early morning hours of Aug. 24, 1970. The bomb attack, which was the nation’s most powerful until the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing, killed 33-year-old graduate student Robert Fassnacht, who was doing research in the middle of the night. It also injured other people and caused millions of dollars in damage. The bombers fled to Canada.Three of the four wanted men were captured in the 1970s after trying to live underground. They were convicted, served short prison terms and resumed their lives.Burt, who grew up in the Philadelphia suburbs, came to Wisconsin on an ROTC scholarship and joined the rowing team, vanished. One former prosecutor called him “Wisconsin’s state ghost.”The FBI received tips and alleged sightings from all over the world for decades, often spiking around anniversaries of the bombing. Some theorize that Burt is dead, while others compare him to D.B. Cooper, the hijacker who disappeared after parachuting out of an airliner with $200,000. There was even a theory in the 1990s, proven untrue with Theodore Kaczynski's arrest, that he may have been the Unabomber.The FBI continues to offer $150,000 for information leading to Burt’s arrest.The FBI's Milwaukee field office on Thursday released the photos that envision Burt as a 75-year-old man.

As a young attorney in 1975 he was part of a team that defended one of the bombers.“If the FBI is correct, Leo Burt’s visage has changed much worse than mine has,” Pines said in reaction to the updated photo simulation. “I guess that Leo has not taken good care of himself, if he’s even still alive.”
