Some crimes are remembered because they were solved. Others because the truth has never been found.

A young woman discovered brutally murdered in Los Angeles, her death destined to become one of America's most notorious mysteries. An entire family slaughtered on an isolated German farm, with chilling evidence suggesting their killer remained at the scene. A house that became the setting for an almost unimaginable crime. And a well-dressed stranger found dead on an Australian beach carrying no identification — and leaving behind a mystery that would endure for generations.
Detective Files #1 opens the files on four extraordinary cases, including The Black Dahlia, the Hinterkaifeck murders, the Villisca Axe Murders and the Somerton Man.
Going beyond the headlines and legends, each case follows the evidence, the investigation, the suspects and the theories that have kept detectives, journalists and ordinary people searching for answers.
Some questions have finally begun to yield their secrets. Others may never be answered.
Four remarkable cases. Four investigations. And somewhere among the evidence, the truth.
