While the crimes of those who kill are utterly heinous, something about the darker side of humanity seems to induce intrigue within many of us. Why would anyone want to kill another human being? Why do they think they have the right to take someone else life away from them?

Names such as Ted Bundy and Charles Manson are enough to make us feel uneasy.

Serial killers have struck up terror in society for decades, so it’s no wonder that many of us are fascinated by what causes them to kill.

In recent years, intrigue seems to have only escalated.

The subject of true-crime has become the center of countless documentaries and films, having us well and truly hooked on some of the most grisly of crimes.

It's a feat that Netflix, in particular, has gotten very good at.

You can always count on Netflix to delivers us a nail-biting doc.

So many of these shows have firmly cemented true crime into popular culture.

And left us reeling for more, despite how to disturbing many of the cases are.

But there's another thing that's sure to pull us straight into that true-crime hole...

...unsolved cases.

Some of the most profound cases in the world remain unsolved.

Take The Black Dahlia, aka twenty-two-year-old Elizabeth Short, for instance - who's gruesome death in 1947 swept the nation- remaining as one of the most famous unsolved cases of our time.

Or the murder of JonBenet Ramsey...

The little girl's smiling face has been plastered across numerous newspapers and documentaries over the years. The beauty pageant winner was discovered beaten and strangled, with duct tape placed on her mouth and throat, in her own home on boxing day in 1996. Yet still, no one has even been convicted of her murder.

British 3-year-old Madeleine McCann disappeared from her bed in an apartment in Portugal while on vacation on 3 May 2007. The case has since been described as one of  "the most heavily reported missing-person case in modern history." Madeleine has now been missing for twelve years.

And who can forget The Zodiac Killer?

The serial killer, who murdered 5 people (that we know of) in Northern California in 1968 and 1969, taunted the police with clues, yet remained at large.

Unsolved crimes seem to particularly fascinate us.

Whenever you watch a doc or listen to a podcast on one of these cases you tend to always end up shouting at the screen or coming up with your own theories on what happened.

But, of course, there's a limit how on much we can get involved while watching on a screen.
