Have you ever known a murderer that got away with it?

Statistically, according to one of my criminal justice textbooks, 9 out of 10 murders in the USA are unsolved.

Have you ever known someone that got away with murder?

I knew someone who I believed got away with murder and more than once.
That person was my mother. A lot of people here and elsewhere online find this impossible to believe. I can't prove my mother killed people but I could make a good circumstantial case for it. People were afraid of my mother and they had reason to be.

A good many murderers have children.

@Mamapolo2016 Thank you. That's a good point. Somehow people assume that murderers don't look or act in any way like other people because their acts are so monstrous it seems as if they must be monsters of some kind. But they're just human beings who did something wrong and other than the murder(s) they look and act like other people. My mother was educated, mannerly and charming. Of course, so was Ted Bundy. Our ideas of what a murderer is like do not serve the criminal justice system well.
