Even though a man eventually confessed, people think that he wasn’t the real killer and that he was forced to give the confession. There are a lot of weird and scary facts about this serial killer that still raise every hair on our bodies when we think about it so many years later.

According to ranker.com, the first official victim of the Torso Murderer is known as the Lady of the Lake.

Her headless torso and thighs appeared on the shores of Lake Erie back in 1934. Part of her skin had chemical-like burns on it that had caused it to become red and leathery. Because her head and arms were never found, she remains unidentified. At the time, the police thought the body was an isolated incident and processed the scene accordingly.

The most brutal of the Torso Murderer’s killings was that of Edward Andrassy. He was found in Kingsbury Run, naked, except for a pair of socks. His blood had been drained from his body, and his head and genitals were surgically removed.

The autopsy showed that he was alive when the decapitation took place. Another body was found nearby, also butchered, although this one was burned in the same manner as the Lady in the Lake. This victim was never identified.

Flo Polillo was a local waitress, bar maid, and prostitute. Parts of her body were found near the intersection of Central Avenue and East 20th streets.

Roughly half of her body was wrapped in newspaper and stuffed into a basket. Ten days later, the rest of her body – minus her head, which was never found – was recovered in a vacant lot a few blocks away. She was identified by her fingerprints, and beheading was her official cause of death.

Two of the known victims – Flo Polillo and Edward Andrassy – were beheaded while they were alive. This was the case with several of the unidentified victims, as well. Autopsy resulted proved this, and in the case of a few of the killer’s later casualties, the victims had been drugged with an unknown substance. This is proof that the Torso Murderer’s M.O. changed over time.

Overall, there are 12 victims attributed to the Torso Murderer, beginning with the Lady of Lake in 1934 and ending with the last discovery on August 16, 1938. Two days after that, Eliot Ness had a bunch of officers dismantle and burn down the shantytown in Kingsbury Run. Although this might have been a coincidence, the murders stopped.

However, 1926 remained the killer’s bloodiest year, as six of his 10 victims were killed and discovered during that year. The murders that year began with Flo Polillo in January, then followed with two unknown men in June, another in July, and two more in September, all chopped into pieces. Most of these victims remain unidentified.

Parts of the last two victims had the hallmarks of refrigeration, and were wrapped in butcher paper before being placed in a box. This makes it tough to tell exactly when those last two people were killed, as they might have been butchered earlier in the timeline and had their bodies preserved.
