A lot of public officials have law degrees but aren’t thought of as lawyers in the traditional sense; for example, President Clinton earned a law degree at Yale University, but he’s not placed in the same category as litigators or other legal crusaders. Yet that’s just further proof that lawyers are more than just stereotypical litigators. This list is about those men and women who practiced law in a variety of ways, and whose skill and career took them to a prominence that transcended individual cases. These are the lawyers that, for better or worse, everyone knows about:

1. Johnnie Cochran
One of the country’s best-known defene attorneys, Johnnie Cochran’s career spanned decades. However, he’s probably best known for leading the defense team that helpd O.J. Simpson be acquitted on murder charges in the 1995 case about the murder of Simpson’s ex-wife, Nicole Brown, and Ronald Goldman. Other notable clients included Michael Jackson, Todd Bridges, former NFL star Jim Brown, and Snoop Dogg. Cochran’s reputation was built on his colorful work in the courtroom and his hounding work for victims of brutality by police. He even served as a source of comic inspiration for “Seinfeld,” becoming the basis of the character Jackie Chiles:

2. F. Lee Bailey
Criminal defense lawyer F. Lee Bailey rose to prominence defending Sam Sheppard in Shepppard’s re-trial in 1966 for the murder of his pregnant wife. Sheppard had already served ten years of his earlier sentence, and his release helped elevate Bailey’s reputation as a defense counselor. He suffered a notable defeat in his defense of Patty Hearst, but he was one of the members of O.J. Simpson’s defense team that helped him earn an acquittal in his criminal trial for murder.

3. Alan Dershowitz
I swear this list isn’t just a rundown of people who worked with O.J. Simpson. If anything, their presence should come as a reminder of that case’s profile and the way it attracted some of the most powerful lawyers in the nation.
Alan Dershowitz currently holds the position of Felix Frankfurter Professor of Law at Harvard Law School, the institution where’s spent most of his professional career. (He became a full professor of law there at 28, the youngest in the school’s history.) He’s known as a crusader for many issues, including defending the First Amendment rights of porn producers. One of his most famous cases includes the successful overturning of the conviction of Claus von Bulow on the charge that von Bulow killed his wife. Dershowitz recounted the story of the von Bulow trial in his book Reversal of Fortune, later made into a film that earned Jeremy Irons an Academy Award.

4. Thurgood Marshall
The first African-American to serve on the Supreme Court, Thurgood Marshall’s career was marked by successful civil rights battles in the courtroom. His first major case in this vein was 1936′s Murray v. Pearson, which was one of the first cases to attack the “separate but equal” ruling of Plessy v. Ferguson. He later became chief counsel for the NAACP, successfully arguing more cases before the Supreme Court, winning 29 of the 32 he argued there. He was appointed to the Supreme Court by President Johnson in 1967, and served on the bench until retirement in 1991, two years before his death.

5. Gloria Allred
Gloria Allred’s name is a lightning-rod for controversy thanks to the contentious nature of her high-profile case work. She represented the family of Nicole Brown Simpson during O.J. Simpson’s murder trial; she represented Amber Frey when the woman acted as a witness in the Scott Peterson criminal case; and most recently was retained by nightclub manager Rachel Uchitel and porn star Joslyn James in cases dealing with Tiger Woods’ infidelity.

6. Vincent Bugliosi
Vincent Bugliosi worked for years an assistant district attorney for Los Angeles County, winning all but one of the 106 felony cases he tried there as a prosecutor. He was also responsible for successfully trying Charles Manson and members of the Manson Family in the 1969 Tate-LaBianca murders. His book with Curt Gentry about that trial, Helter Skelter, became the best-selling true crime book in history. After a pair of failed runs for L.A. County District Attorney in the 1970s, Bugliosi grew more critical of the legal system, penning diatribes like Outrage, attacking the O.J. Simpson verdict, and The Betrayal of America, arguing that the Supreme Court acted illegally when it declared George W. Bush the winner of the 2000 presidential election. He’s also written what he calls his “magnum opus,” a book about the Kennedy assassination and the danger of conspiracy theories titled Reclaiming History: The Assassination of President John F. Kennedy.

7-8. Clarence Darrow and William Jennings Bryan
These two men were titans in the legal field in the early 20th century. Clarence Darrow, member of the American Civil Liberties Union, was renowned for defending Nathan Leopold and Richard Loeb and using the case to attack capital punishment. William Jennings Bryan was a former secretary of state and leader of the religious fundamentalist movement. They went head to head in Scopes v. The State of Tennessee, a case that became a landmark for the way it pitted science and creationists against each other in the courtroom.
Tennessee law made it illegal to teach evolution, so the ACLU sponsored a test case in the form of teacher John Scopes, who was charged with the crime. The trial became about the cultural divide between opposing cultural forces, with Darrow defending Scopes and siding with evolutionist concerns while Bryan served as special prosecutor. The trial was already a publicity stunt but gained more notoriety when Darrow called Bryan to the stand to examine him, though the judge halted the process the following morning, robbing Bryan of the chance to question Darrow. Scopes was found guilty on the original charge and fined $100, though the verdict was eventually set aside on a technicality. The trial inspired the play Inherit the Wind, which was subsequently turned into several film versions and helped cement the status of Darrow and Bryan.

9. Sarah Weddington
Considered one of the youngest people to win a case before the Supreme Court, if not the youngest ever, Sarah Weddington gained fame for representing Norma McCorvey, better known as Jane Roe, in the landmark case Roe v. Wade, in which the Court ruled in favor of abortion rights. Ironically, McCorvey converted to Christianity later in life and now recants her earlier pro-choice opinions. Weddington went on to serve in the Texas House of Representatives and later as a counselor and legal advisor to President Carter.

10. Gerry Spence
Trial lawyer Gerry Spence has been practicing law since the mid-1950s, but it was the Karen Silkwood case of the 1970s that brought him national attention. Silkwood, a whistle-blower at a chemical plant, died in a car crash under suspicious circumstances, and Spence represented her family in the case charging that the company exposed her dangerous levels of radiation. He won a $10.5 million verdict, and from there moved on to other high-profile cases defending Randy Weaver, Ed Cantrell, and Imelda Marcos. He succeeded in all three.

The phrase “ripped from the headlines” gets a bad rap. At its essence, it just means that a movie or television show has been inspired by real-life events, often a crime. Some of the most popular movies and TV series from the past half-century have been created this way, taking their inspiration from everything from the mob to drug dealers to underage crime sprees. Here are just a handful of the stories born from real events:

1. In Cold Blood (1967)
Based on Truman Capote’s groundbreaking work of true crime, In Cold Blood follows a pair of criminals as they commit a robbery that turns into a quadruple-homicide in Holcomb, Kansas, in 1959. The starkly made, black-and-white film was nominated for four Academy Awards the following year, and in 2008 it was added to the National Film Registry by the Library of Congress.

2. All the President’s Men (1976)
Washington Post reporters Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein became the most famous journalists of their era for their work uncovering the Watergate crimes and the subsequent book, All the President’s Men, which detailed their investigation into one of the highest-profile criminal conspiracies of the past 50 years. The film was nominated for a host of awards and nabbed a best supporting actor Oscar for Jason Robards as Ben Bradlee, the Post‘s editor.

3. GoodFellas (1990)
Reporter Nicholas Pileggi’s nonfiction book Wiseguy was a fascinating chronicle of the American Mafia from the perspective of Henry Hill, a member of the Lucchese crime family who eventually escaped the life by joining the Witness Protection Program after being caught in a drug bust. Martin Scorsese’s film of the book became one of his most admired movies, and has been hailed as one of the best gangster and true crime movies ever made.

4. “Law & Order” (premiered 1990)
Dozens of “Law & Order” episodes have been based on real-life cases and crimes, so it’s tough to pick just one. However, one of the earliest examples that the show would base some of its stories on actual people was the first season’s “Subterranean Homeboy Blues,” which dealt with a woman shooting two attempted muggers in a story that paralleled the Bernhard Goetz in its approach to vigilante justice. The NBC series was a modern pioneer in its “ripped from the headlines” TV format, and would inspire many other crime procedurals that followed to do the same.

5. Badlands (1973)
Director Terence Malick hasn’t made many movies, but the few he’s directed have been riveting. Case in point: Badlands, based on the 1957 murder spree committed by Charles Starkweather and girlfriend Caril Ann Fugate in Nebraska and Wyoming.

6. “Cold Case” (premiered 2003)
The first-season episode “The Boy in the Box” was based on a case of the same name from 1957, in which the body of a young boy was found in a cardboard box in Pennsylvania. The real-life murder is still unsolved.

7. Helter Skelter (1976)
The Charles Manson Family murders of 1969 shocked the nation, and the resulting trial was turned into a book, Helter Skelter, by attorney Vincent Bugliosi with Curt Gentry. The book was then adapted into a TV-movie in 1976.

8. “Criminal Minds” (premiered 2005)
The crime show’s first season featured the episode “Natural Born Killer,” which was based on the case of Richard Kuklinski, aka “The Iceman,” a contract killer for organized crime families.

9. The Accused (1988)
Jodie Foster won an Oscar for her portrayal of a rape victim seeking justice from the men who attacked her. The film was based on the 1983 rape of Cheryl Araujo in Massachusetts.

10. Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer (1991)
This chilling film stars Michael Rooker as Henry, a cold-blooded serial killer based on the real-life Henry Lee Lucas. It deviates from the true account in several ways, but is notable for its bracing and frank approach to the horrific subject matter. Lucas later recanted to some of his murder claims, casting doubt on the real number of victims he accrued.

11. Alpha Dog (2006)
Featuring a young cast including Anton Yelchin, Emile Hirsch, and Justin Timberlake, Alpha Dog is based on the true story of the kidnapping and killing of Nicholas Markowitz, only 15 years old, and the involvement of local drug dealer Jesse James Hollywood. Hollywood is currently serving a life sentence for orchestrating the plot.

12. Dog Day Afternoon (1975)
Sidney Lumet’s award-winning crime drama is based on the real-life hostage situation that occurred in 1972 when two men held up a bank in Brooklyn. Their day-long siege came to an end when one was arrested and the other killed by the FBI in the final moments of the incident.

13. The Insider (1999)
Inspired by an article in Vanity Fair, Michael Mann’s The Insider is based on the “60 Minutes” interview with Jeffrey Wigand, a corporate whistle-blower who angered his bosses at a tobacco company when he went public with knowledge about a cover-up related to nicotine’s addictive qualities. Tobacco firm Brown and Williamson even took out a full-page ad in The Wall Street Journal after the film opened to protest its approach to the story. The movie received a host of critical acclaim.

14. Notorious (2009)
This 2009 biographical drama detailed the life of Christopher Wallace, aka the Notorious B.I.G., a rapper who was shot and killed by an unknown assailant in 1997.

15. Ghosts of Mississippi (1996)
Civil rights leader Medgar Evers was assassinated in June 1963, but it wasn’t until 1994 that his killer, white supremacist Byron De La Beckwith, was convicted for the killing. Rob Reiner’s film of the events was a moving portrayal of the long search for justice.

16. Monster (2003)
Serial killer Aileen Wuornos, a former prostitute, killed seven men throughout the late 1980s and early 1990s, claiming they raped her or attempted to do so while she was in the process of performing sex acts. She was convicted of the murders and executed by lethal injection in 2002. The film is tough one, but Charlize Theron’s performance as Wuornos earned her an Academy Award.

17. Serpico (1973)
Before Sidney Lumet and Al Pacino teamed for Dog Day Afternoon, they worked together on this true-crime classic about a cop determined to do what’s right. Based on the true story of NYPD officer Frank Serpico, the film follows an undercover officer who works to expose the corruption of fellow officers.

18. The Perfect Husband: The Laci Peterson Story (2004)
TV-movies have long been home to stories based on true events, as was the case with USA Network’s film version of the sordid affair involving Lacy Peterson, the pregnant wife of Scott. When Lacy disappeared, Scott led the charge to find her, but when her dead body was found mutilated, Scott was arrested for the crime. He was eventually convicted for the murder, though he maintains his innocence. He currently waits on death row.

19. American Gangster (2007)
Russell Crowe plays a determined detective and Denzel Washington plays a powerful Harlem drug kingpin in this film based on true events chronicled in New York Magazine. The film earned general critical acclaim and garnered multiple award nominations.

20. Casino (1995)
Once again working from source material by Nicholas Pileggi, Martin Scorsese’s epic about criminals rising to power in Las Vegas remains one of his most-praised films. It’s also one his coarsest: At the time of its release, it featured more uses of “f***” than any other film to date.

21. Catch Me If You Can (2002)
Steven Spielberg’s light caper film tells the true story of Frank Abagnale Jr. (Leonardo DiCaprio), a young man who conned his way into fortune by forging checks and posing as, among others, a Pan Am pilot, a doctor, and a lawyer. Although he was caught and convicted for his crimes, he was eventually brought on to work with the FBI to help catch other forgers.

22. Wonderland (2003)
Val Kilmer plays porn star John Holmes in this account of the robbery and murders Holmes was involved with in 1981. Holmes was acquitted of any wrongdoing after successfully portraying himself as an unwitting accomplice.

23. Bully (2001)
Directed by Larry Clark, Bully is based on the true plot of several high schoolers to kill their peer and tormentor after they tire of his physical and emotional abuse. The multple conspirators all received jail time for the killing, ranging from 11 years to a death sentence that was commuted to life imprisonment.

24. Blow (2001)
The final film from Ted Demme details the life and times of George Jung (Johnny Depp), a notorious cocaine smuggler who winds up working with Colombians like Pablo Escobar.

25. The Untouchables (1987)
Also the name of a 1950s TV series, this 1987 film deals with one of the most infamous criminals in American history: Al Capone. Eliot Ness’ quest to bring him to justice during the Prohibition era remains a popular fodder for entertainment, and this film version was a critical and financial success.

There’s something about an unsolved murder that grabs our attention, whether it’s the air of mystery surrounding the proceeedings or the shock at learning the brutal details behind a high-profile slaying. Here are just a few of the most notorious unsolved cases of all time:

1. The Black Dahlia (ca. January 15, 1947)
Elizabeth Short was 22 years old when she was brutally murdered in Los Angeles in the late 1940s. A woman with a troubled past and no fixed path through life, she was in L.A. visiting an old boyfriend and bouncing from one apartment to the next at the time of her death. She was found in a vacant lot, her body severed at the waist and her face slashed from the edge of her mouth toward the ears, creating a ghastly smile. Reporters nicknamed her the Black Dahlia after the 1946 noir film The Blue Dahlia. The murder sparked the largest LAPD investigation to that point, and the news media ran with the frenzy. Despite many theories put forth over the years, the case was never solved.

2. Boy in the Box (February 25, 1957)
One of the most gruesome unsolved murders involves an unknown child referred to as the Boy in the Box. Approximately 4-6 years old, the boy’s naked body was found in a cardboard box in Philadelphia 1957. Pictures of the boy were distributed with gas bills throughout the city in hopes of finding somone who knew what happened, but no lead ever materialized. One theory speculated that the boy belonged to the stepdaughter of the man who ran the foster home near the site the body was found; another theory, put forth by a woman with a history of mental illness, claimed that the boy was bought and used as a sexual slave before being murdered and discarded. No direct evidence was found for either theory.

3. Bob Crane (June 29, 1978)
Best known for his leading role on “Hogan’s Heroes,” Bob Crane was also involved with an underground sex scene in which he and friend John Henry Carpenter, an audio-visual pro, would film themselves having sex with women. Crane’s body was found in an Arizona apartment complex, bludgeoned to death by an unknown weapon that police reasoned was a film tripod. Smears of blood that matched Crane’s blood type were found in Carpenter’s car, but the lack of forensic technology at the time (like DNA testing) made it impossible to determine if the blood belonged to Crane. The case went cold from a lack of evidence, and though it was reopened in 1992 and Carpenter arrested, evidence from the murder hadn’t been properly preserved and was thus unusable. Carpenter was acquitted and maintained his innocence until he died in 1998. The case is officially unsolved.

4. Raymond Washington (August 9, 1979)
Raymond Washington was the founder of the Los Angeles gang that would come to call itself the Crips, but many say that his unique moral code approved only of fighting and theft as a means of survival, and that he frowned on the use of handguns and the growing level of homicides associated with gangs. He was shot and killed when he was just 25, and no one was ever arrested for the crime. People have speculated that his murder was carried out by a rival gang member or perhaps by someone with whom he was involved in a personal dispute.

5. Dian Fossey (December 26, 1985)
Immortalized in the Oscar-nominated film Gorillas in the Mist, Dian Fossey as an American zoologist who devoted her professional career to studying gorillas in Africa and protecting them from poaching and exploitation. She was found dead in her cabin in 1985, killed by a machete that had been hanging decoratively on her wall. With her valuables still present, her death appeared to be politically or personally motivated. Although many suspects were questioned, the killer was never found.

6. JonBenet Ramsey (December 26, 1996)
JonBenet Ramsey was killed only a few months after she turned 6. Her mother discovered the girl was missing and found a ransom note, at which point police were contacted. A search of the house found the girl’s body in a wine cellar, strangled to death. The case ignited a media firestorm involving the parents, accused of neglect and implicated in the crime, and the investigators, who didn’t properly seal the crime scene. The Ramsey family was officially cleared from suspicion in 2008, and though police have been able to put together a DNA composite of the killer, the crime remains unsolved. (John Mark Karr confessed to the crime in 2006 but was cleared.)

7. Tupac Shakur (September 13, 1996)
Rap artist Tupac Shakur was a top-selling performer when he was shot in Las Vegas after the Mike Tyson-Bruce Seldon fight at the MGM Grand on September 7, 1996. After a minor brawl with a member of the Crips in the Grand’s lobby, Shakur was shot in a drive-by while riding with Death Row Records CEO Marion “Suge” Knight. Although he seemed to make a comeback in the hospital, Shakur died of internal bleeding on September 13. Law enforcement officials made slow progress in the ensuing investigation, and though the shooting occurred on a public and crowded street, no one has ever been arrested for the crime.

8. Notorious B.I.G. (March 9, 1997)
Christopher Wallace, better known as the Notorious B.I.G. or Biggie Smalls, was a gifted MC known also for his involvement in the hip-hop feud between the East and West Coasts. He was even rumored to be involved in the death of Tupac Shakur, though that was never proven. Following a party held after the Soul Train Music Awards in March 1997, Wallace was shot while riding in an SUV and pronounced dead that night at the hospital. Many theories have been floated about the killing, from retaliation over money owed to various conspiracy theories, but the shooter was never identified.

9. Jack the Ripper killings (1888)
One of the most infamous serial killers in history, Jack the Ripper is the name given to the unknown murderer who slaughtered a series of prostitutes in London at the end of the 19th century. Scotland Yard and local media outlets received letters from the killer (or possibly killers) included body parts from the victims. The slayings have inspired a host of fictional works as well as dozens of theories about the identity of Jack the Ripper, but the true identity of the killer has never been determined.

10. Oscar Romero (March 24, 1980)
Oscar Romero, the fourth Archbishop of San Salvador, was assassinated in 1980 while celebrating mass at a tiny chapel in El Salvador. A U.N. report posits that his killers were members of a death squad, and though Álvaro Rafael Saravia was eventually found guilty of conspiring in the murder, the actual killer remains unknown. Romero’s death came a day after he’d pleaded with his countrymen to stop carrying out their government’s orders to oppress basic human rights.

11. Andrew and Abby Borden (August 4, 1892)
Everyone knows the name Lizzie Borden from the children’s rhyme about her taking an ax to her parents, but though the young woman was tried for the double homicide, there wasn’t quite enough evidence to convict her of the crime.

12. Zodiac killings (1968-1972)
Seven people were killed throughout Northern California by an unknown man who came to be known as the Zodiac killer because of the taunting letters he sent to police. The letters also included cryptograms, some of which still haven’t been decoded. The first killings came in December 1968 and July 1969, and the first letters claiming responsibility for those killings were sent to three newspapers in August 1969. Some victims were shot and others stabbed, setting the Zodiac apart from serial killers that stick to one method of execution. San Francisco police detective Dave Toschi was one of those who worked the case, and would later become the basis for the fictional character Dirty Harry. Despite a prime suspect in Arthur Leigh Allen — identified years later by an early surviving victim as the shooter — the case was never solved. Allen died in 1992, but a film positing him as a likely killer was released to acclaim in 2007.

13. William Goebel (January 30, 1900)
William Goebel is the only U.S. governor to be assassinated in office. After winning a hotly contested election for the governorship of Kentucky, was shot walking to the Old State Capitol. He was sworn in a day later and died three days later. Political rival William S. Taylor was suspected of having knowledge of who pulled the trigger, but he fled to Indiana to avoid extradition and became a lawyer there. Some men were convicted of a conspiracy to kill Goebel, but the murderer’s identity remains a mystery.

14. William Desmond Taylor (February 1, 1922)
William Desmond Taylor was an actor in the early years of Hollywood whose death was one of the many lurid affairs that led to sensationalistic coverage by a thirsty media. His body was found inside his home in the early hours of February 1, 1922. He had been shot in the back. More than a dozen people were held up by the public as suspects, including friends and employees of Taylor’s, but most of the physical evidence needed to secure a conviction was lost because of crime scene mismanagement and threads of corruption in the LAPD. Actress Margaret Gibson is alleged to have confessed to the murder in 1964, but no hard evidence has even been able to produce the identity of the killer.

15. Harry Oakes (July 8, 1943)
Sir Harry Oakes, an American-born Brit who owned a gold mine, was found murdered in 1943 in his Nassau mansion. Instead of flying in detectives from Scotland Yard, the islands’ governor, the Duke of Windsor, brought in a pair of Miami detectives. They arrested Oakes’ son-in-law, but the man was acquitted when it was found that the detectives had fabricated evidence. The murderer was never found, though theories abounded. Some say Oakes’ son-in-law really was the guilty party, while others claim Oakes was killed as a result of his dealings with organized crime.

16. Barbara and Patricia Grimes (December 28, 1956)
The Grimes sisters disappeared shortly after Christmas 1956 in Chicago and were found dead on January 22, 1957. They were seen at a movie theater on December 28, but subsequent sighting claims are less reliable. An autopsy concluded that they died of shock and exposure to the cold, but that statement ignores the bruises and wounds on their bodies, including holes that could have come from an ice pick. The Chicago Police Department crime lab also found that Barbara Grimes had been sexually molested before her murder. A drifter named Benny Bedwell was suspected and eventually confessed, though he then said his confession was coerced by officers.

17. Deanna Cremin (March 30, 1995)
Seventeen-year-old Deanna Cremin was found strangled behind a senior housing complex in Middlesex, Massachusetts, shortly after her birthday. After going out with friends and visiting her boyfriend, the two walked back to her home, though the boyfriend left her at the halfway point. He is considered the last person to have seen her alive. The boyfriend and two other men were investigated, but no charges pressed. New forensic evidenced was announced in 2005, thanks to technology, and the case also received a boost in 2009 when Middlesex district attorney pleaded for people to come forward with information. Her murder, however, remains unsolved.

18. Amber Hagerman (January 15, 1996)
Amber Hagerman was only 9 years old when she died. Abducted while riding her bike in Arlington, Texas, her disapperance ignited a huge search that brought in the FBI. Her body was found by a man walking his dog four days after she’d gone missing. Her throat had been cut, and evidence showed that she’d been alive fow two days before being killed. The high-profile case and ensuing call from Amber’s parents for tougher laws for sex offenders, including a national offender registry, led to the creation of the AMBER Alert, a national bulletin distributed via TV and radio when a child goes missing. The alert’s name is technically “America’s Missing: Broadcasting Emergency Response,” but it was named after Amber.

19. Suzanne Jovin (December 4, 1998)
Yale University senior Suzanne Jovin was stabbed to death near campus in New Haven, Connecticut. After chatting with a fellow student and continuing on her way, Jovin’s body was later that night found stabbed 17 times in the head and neck with her throat slit. Witnesses saw a brown van parked nearby, but nothing came of that lead. One of professors was suspected, a move that damaged his career, though he was eventually cleared. The killer has never been found.

20. The Somerton Man (December 1, 1948)
Also known as the Taman Shud case, the mystery of the Somerton Man is one of the most baffling unsolved murders in history. A man in his 40s was found on the Somerton beach in Adelaide, Australia, on December 1, 1948. He carried no identification, and the labels had been removed from his clothes. The cause of death was determined to be poison, though the type wasn’t known. Attempts to identify the body proved fruitless, and the growing pile of clues, including a suitcase of the man’s possessions, only added to the confusion. A slip of paper with the words “Taman Shud” was found in a hidden pocket in the man’s trousers, leading police to a collection of poems called The Rubaiyat by Omar Khayyam. The book was found by a man in his car near the scene of the crime, and contained a phone number and portion of jumbled letters that might have been a code, though it’s never been cracked. The phone number led to a woman who said she didn’t know anything about the man and who police omitted from future searches, thereby eliminating one of the case’s best leads. It’s been more than 60 years, and no one has ever discovered the killer or the identity of the Somerton Man.
