Doesn't get a lot colder than this one.
I've read a lot about it and find it's one of those things that is hard to pull one's self away from.
"Almost 97 years ago, long before serial killers and mass murders had become a way of life, two adults and 6 children were found brutally murdered in their beds in the small mid-western town of Villisca, Iowa.
During the weeks that followed, life in this small town changed drastically.
As residents of this small town reinforced locks, openly carried weapons and huddled together while sleeping, newspaper reporters and private detectives flooded the streets. Accusations, rumors and suspicion ran rampant among friends and families. Bloodhounds were brought in. Law enforcement agencies from neighboring counties and states joined forces. Hundreds of interviews filled thousands of pages.
And yet, the murders remained unsolved, the murderer unpunished."
Link with lots and lots of content on the murders, the botched investigation, the supsects, the supposed hauntings, etc:
