5 Unknown Murder Victims Who Were Later Identified

Though it’s generally a given that law enforcement has to identify the perpetrator of a crime, in some cases they’re also forced to identify the victim. This is most often seen in murder cases, where any number of factors can lead to a body being unrecognizable. Without knowing a victim’s name, police are often left without a clear direction in their investigation, lacking vital clues about everything from suspects to potential witnesses. It’s no wonder, therefore, that many of these cases drag on for years or even decades, requiring innovative techniques, extreme dedication, and usually at least a little bit of luck to finally solve.

Today, we wanted to take a look at a few examples of these types of cases, focusing on murder cases featuring John and Jane Does who were later successfully identified. Though the perpetrators in all of today’s cases have not necessarily been found, investigators have at least managed to discover the names of the victims, giving family and friends vital closure.
