| April 16, 1960

| <small>A 26-year-old [[beauty queen]] who disappeared when she went to church for [[confession (Catholic Church)|confession]] and was later found raped and murdered in a canal. Feit, a 27-year-old priest at the church who later pled [[no contest]] to raping a parishioner, and left the priesthood in the 1970s, was a suspect since the beginning, but little investigation was made due to the opposition of long-time [[district attorney]] Rene Guerra (1980–2014).</small>

| Edward Freiburger
| [[Columbia, South Carolina]], US
| February 1961
| 2002
| <small>A 60-year-old cab driver who was robbed and murdered on the job with a .32 H&R pistol. Freiburger, then 19 and a soldier stationed at nearby [[Fort Jackson (South Carolina)|Fort Jackson]], became a suspect when it was discovered that he purchased the same weapon at a local pawnshop only hours before Orner received his last dispatch call, after which he went [[AWOL]]. Freiburger was stopped by [[Tennessee State Police]] a month later and found with the gun in his possession, but ballistics tests were inconclusive and he was never charged. In 2002, a private firearms examiner working for the [[South Carolina Law Enforcement Division]] cleaned up the slugs and matched the bullets to the gun.<ref>{{cite book|first=R.H.|last=Walton|title=Cold Case Homicides: Practical Investigative Techniques|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=ayHr0mFX6LYC&pg=PA87|date=2006|publisher=CRC Press|isbn=978-1420003949|page=87}}</ref></small>

| Peter Reyn-Bardt
| [[Wilmslow]], [[England]], UK
| June 1961
| December 1983
| <small>Reyn-Bardt, De Fernandez's estranged husband, made a detailed confession about how he had murdered, dismembered and disposed of her body in the [[bog]] behind his home after [[peat]] cutters found human remains there, 22 years later. Although these remains were later determined to be thousands of years old from [[Carbon 14]] testing, Reyn-Bardt's confession was considered enough evidence to convict him of the murder of his wife, [[murder conviction without a body|whose body was never found]].</small>
