with the number of crimes that go
unsolved we couldn’t limit ourselves to
just two lists welcome to watchmojo.com
and today we’re counting down our picks
for yet another top ten unsolved murder
mysteries searches in the Florida
Everglades and a mob owned New Jersey
dump site also came up empty before we
begin we publish new videos every day so
be sure to subscribe for more great
content for this list we’re looking at
famous murders or suspected murders that
have yet to be solved if you didn’t see
a crime you thought should be on here be
sure to check out our first two videos
on the top 10 unsolved murder mysteries
and I tried to figure out what could
have generated such great number 10
Betsy ARDS m’a you know the story the
one about the corpse that’s mistakenly
thought to be alive through a series of
hilarious misunderstandings though that
may be the plot of an 80s comedy flick
you may be surprised to learn that
similar events did actually occur in
real life Penn State University student
Betsy ARDS MO was studying in the school
library on the day of November 28 1969
when she was stabbed
severing her pulmonary artery the little
bleeding that did occur was masked by
her red dress meaning that no one even
noticed Betsy was dead until she reached
the hospital oh yeah
and to this day Pennsylvania State
Police are still searching for Betsy’s
murderer number nine the Grimes sisters
Barbara and Patricia Grimes were typical
50s teens and while a healthy Elvis
obsession and a desire for a fun Friday
night sound innocent enough they would
eventually lead to the sister’s grisly
murders on the night of December 28 1956
the Grimes sisters took in a showing of
Love Me Tender but when the girls never
returned home after the show their
mother grew worried early theory
suggested that the girls ran away in
search of Elvis Presley himself however
that hypothesis was put to rest when
Barbara and Patricia’s bodies were found
less than a month after their
disappearance number 8 william desmond
taylor as one of Hollywood’s greatest
unsolved mysteries William Desmond
Taylor’s murder became a major influence
in the world of pop culture
silent film director was shot in his
bungalow right in the heart of Hollywood
and while a doctor at the scene
initially thought Taylor died of stomach
complications this was proven wrong when
the body was turned over many names have
been thrown around over the years as the
potential culprit including actress
Mabel Normand and frequent Taylor
collaborator Mary miles Minter
but this unsolved murder just may be one
case that will play kollywood forever
number 7 Mary Mayer it’s quite possible
that Mary Mayer played a significant
role in maintaining peace during the
Cold War Mayer was known to have had an
affair with President John F Kennedy
during his time in office although some
people claimed that Kennedy actually
discussed and sought advice from her on
important international issues
unfortunately we’ll never know the truth
because Mayer was shot to death on
October 12th 1964 ray Crump was accused
of the murder but was eventually
acquitted leaving conspiracy theorists
to claim the CIA may have been involved
considering she was divorced from a CIA
official and was often critical of the
agency regardless her murder remains
officially unsolved number six the Caddy
murders the Sierra Nevada mountains in
Northern California
are the perfect spot for a vacation but
they were also the setting of a grisly
mass murder su sharp and her five
children had been renting a cabin in
Ketty California for a few months at a
time on April 12th 1981 the Sharps
oldest daughter Sheila discovered the
tied-up bodies of her mother her brother
and her brother’s friend all three of
whom had been beaten to death with a
claw hammer the body and bones of
Sheila’s 12 year old sister Tina were
discovered years later in 2004 the cabin
was demolished and as of 2017 no one has
been arrested in connection with the
murders
cuz you’re at home number five Ken
McIlroy Ken Rex McIlroy was by no means
the nicest man in fact he was indicted
21 times in his life and accused of
dozens of felonies including assault
statutory rape and child molestation in
1980 he shot 70 year old Ernest Bowen
camp but was able to appeal the
conviction he immediately went back and
threatened to kill bone camp but he
never got the chance while sitting in
his pickup truck with his wife McElroy
was shot several times in total there
were as many as 46 witnesses but no one
called an ambulance although they were
all interviewed none of the witnesses
confessed to seeing who specifically
killed McElroy and no one was charged
number 4 Michael Rockefeller the
Rockefellers are considered by many to
be one of the most powerful families in
the history of the United States they
also experienced a terrible tragedy in
1961 when Michael Rockefeller the 23
year-old son of Nelson Rockefeller
disappeared in Netherlands New Guinea
Michael was attempting to capture
indigenous art of the Asmat tribe but
never returned from his expedition
theories have ranged from drowning to
cannibalism with journalist Karl Hoffman
suggesting that he may have been killed
by the locals in retaliation for an
incident that occurred several years
earlier number three Jimmy Hoffa a union
activist since his teens Jimmy Hoffa
became the president of the
International Brotherhood of Teamsters
in 1958 his role with the Teamsters led
him to organized crime however and he
was even sentenced to prison for jury
tampering and fraud it was this
connection that may have led to his
disappearance Hoffa was last seen in the
parking lot of the machus red fox
restaurant on July 30th 1975 Hoffa had
allegedly been there to meet with two
members of the Mafia he was officially
declared dead in 1982 and his body has
yet to be found although there is no
shortage of rumors as to where it might
be found number two Marilyn Reece
Shepard
I don’t care the wife of dr. Sam Shepard
Marilyn Sheppard was beaten to death in
her bed on the morning of July 4th 1954
according to Sam he had heard his wife
scream and found an intruder in his home
eventually chasing him down to the beach
where they fought but the intruder
escaped when that came home there was a
man in my house
Sam was charged with second-degree
murder and controversially convicted to
life in prison this conviction was
eventually overturned in a retrial after
he had served 10 years due to the fact
that the murder weapon was never found
and there was nothing to tie Sam to the
murder despite Sam’s best efforts upon
his release he never found his wife’s
killer before we unveil our number one
pick here are some honorable mentions
within himself he’s forced to do this he
can’t stop himself he will continue to
commit the crimes as long as he is out

drive to commit these crimes

use two different trucks to boost
