Little Lord Fauntleroy
On March 8, 1921, the body of a young boy was found in some water behind the O’Laughlin Quarry in Waukesha County, Wisconsin. He was believed to be between five and seven years old and had been struck on the head with a blunt instrument. Five weeks before the boy was discovered, a quarry employee reported that a couple had stopped by in a vehicle to ask if he’d seen a young boy, and the woman appeared to be crying. In spite of this, no one ever came forward to claim the boy’s body, even after a reward was offered for information. Curiously, the boy was dressed in upscale clothing, suggesting that he hailed from a wealthy family.
Since the victim bore a resemblance to the title character in Francis Hodgson Burnett’s famous children’s novel, he was nicknamed “Little Lord Fauntleroy.”The case remained cold for 28 years, till a connection was made between Little Lord Fauntleroy and Homer Lemay, a six-year-old Milwaukee child who seemed to disappear in 1921. Homer’s father, Edmond Lemay, claimed that after Homer’s mother died of tuberculosis, he left his son in the custody of a couple named the Nortons. According to Edmond, the Nortons took Homer on a trip to Argentina, where he was subsequently killed in a car accident. However, an investigation could uncover no record of Homer Lemay’s accident or any evidence that the Nortons even existed.
Further suspicion surrounded Edmond Lemay because his third wife mysteriously disappeared in 1948, and he faced legal trouble for forging her signature on some checks. However, no definitive evidence was ever found to connect Homer Lemay to the Little Lord Fauntleroy case, so the mystery remains unsolved nearly a century later.

There are many notorious serial killers who have never have been identified, but few of them were as unpredictable as the “Toledo Clubber,” who committed a strange, random series of crimes in Toledo, Ohio, during the mid-1920s. The unknown assailant started off his crime spree by setting fire to a series of lumberyards in 1925. When the city responded by posting guards at lumberyards, the perpetrator decided to start bombing homes and tenements. When federal agents were called in to investigate, the bombings suddenly came to an end, and the assailant soon turned to murder. Over the course of one week in November, at least nine women were attacked by an unknown male, who proceeded to rape them and club their helpless bodies with a heavy object before leaving them for dead. Four of these women lost their lives, and the attacker became known as the “Toldeo Clubber.”After a reward was offered for the Clubber’s capture, the violence ended for a year. However, on October 26, 1926, two Toledo women were raped and bludgeoned within a few hours of each other, and their deaths matched the Clubber’s modus operandi. Shortly thereafter, another Toledo lumberyard and several other buildings were torched by arson, but once again, the Clubber’s random series of crimes came to an end without explanation. In 1927, the investigation turned toward an incarcerated man named James C. Coyner, who was serving time in prison for grave robbery. Four female skulls were found in his trunk, and since he had mentioned being in Toledo before his arrest, he was looked at as a possible suspect. However, no evidence ever connected Coyner to the crimes, and the infamous Toledo Clubber was never identified.
