	Reference.com/Encyclopedia/Cleveland Torso Murderer
		The Cleveland Torso Murderer (also known as the Mad Butcher of Kingsbury Run) was an unidentified serial killer active in the Cleveland, Ohio, area in the early 20th century.
		The Torso Murderer always beheaded and often dismembered his victims, sometimes also cutting the torso in half; in many cases the cause of death was the act of decapitation itself.
		Failure to apprehend the murderer was perhaps the major failure of his tenure and is accepted by many to be a contributor to his declining status in later years.

	CLEVELAND'S TORSO KILLER: HISTORY & HAUNTINGS
		In August 1938, the dismembered torso of a woman was found in a dump along the lakefront and a search of the area revealed the body of a man. The remains of the twelfth victim were found wrapped in quilt that had been given to a junkman, but neither body was ever identified.
		The Cleveland Torso Murders were officially never solved, but that has not stopped scores of crime historians and curious readers and investigators from speculating as to who the "Mad Butcher" actually was.
		He resigned from the position of Cleveland’s public safety director in 1941, after a scandal involving a hit-and-run accident, and in 1947 was badly defeated in a run for the Cleveland mayor’s office.
