So, How Many Unsolved Murders Are We Talking About?
Here's the thing: pin down an exact number, and you've got a tougher job than wrestling a greased pig at the Memphis in May International Barbecue Festival (and that's saying something). Estimates range from the hundreds to well over a thousand. Some cases go back decades, lost in the whispers of time.
Why the fuzziness? Well, Memphis has seen its fair share of rough times. Add to that the occasional misplaced file (hey, it happens!), and keeping track of every unsolved case can be a challenge.
QuickTip: Read step by step, not all at once.
But Wait, There's More! The Memphis Cold Case Hall of Fame (Not Official)
While we don't have an official list, here are some contenders for the Memphis Cold Case Hall of Fame:
- The Case of the Curious Cadillac: In 1974, a car with a body inside is found abandoned. The only clue? A half-eaten bag of barbecue chips. (Because apparently, even killers get hangry in Memphis.)
- The Elvis Impersonator Enigma: A man dressed as the King is found face-down in a donut shop parking lot. Was it a jealous rival, or did the sugar crash finally get him? (The world may never know.)
Disclaimer: These are fictionalized accounts (with a heavy dose of Memphis flair) based on real unsolved cases.
