The bone breaker killer

The Bonebreaker Killer is a nickname given to a serial killer who was active in the United States during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The killer's real name was never officially confirmed, but he is believed to have been responsible for the murders of at least 21 people, mostly women and children, in the Midwest and West Coast regions.

The Bonebreaker Killer was known for his brutal and gruesome methods, which included dismembering his victims' bodies and scattering their remains in remote areas. He often targeted vulnerable individuals, such as prostitutes, homeless people, and travelers, and would often use his victims' bodies to send messages to the police and the public.

The killer's first known victim was a 14-year-old girl named Mary Ellen Wilson, who was found murdered and dismembered in a Chicago alleyway in 1899. Over the next several years, the killer claimed the lives of numerous other victims, including women and children, in cities such as Chicago, St. Louis, and San Francisco.

The Bonebreaker Killer's crimes went unsolved for many years, and it was not until the 1920s that a suspect was identified. In 1924, a man named Carl Panzram was arrested and charged with the murder of a 14-year-old boy in Washington state. During his interrogation, Panzram confessed to the murder and also claimed responsibility for the Bonebreaker Killer's crimes.

Panzram's confession was later disputed, and some investigators believe that he may have been a scapegoat for the real killer. Despite this, Panzram was convicted of the murder and sentenced to death. He was executed in 1929.

The Bonebreaker Killer's true identity remains a mystery to this day, and the case remains one of the most infamous unsolved serial killer cases in American history.
