Golf Club Murder
Police are called to the scene of a murder to find a man standing in his living room, holding a 5-iron in his hands, looking at the lifeless body of a woman on the ground.
The detective asks him, "Sir, is that your wife?"
"Yes," the shaken man replies.
"Did you hit her with that golf club?"
"Yes. Yes, I did," the man stammers. He stifles a sob, drops the club and puts his hands on his head.
"How many times did you hit her?" asks the policeman.
"I don't know," the man answers. "Five...six...Put me down for a five."
Some robbers are clearly in the wrong line of business...

1. Ted Bundy
Although serial killer Ted Bundy was responsible for an estimated 30-plus murders, there was little physical evidence to connect him to the crimes when he was arrested in 1975. Two years later, having been convicted only of kidnapping, Bundy was preparing to stand trial for murder in Colorado when he escaped and headed to Florida. There, he killed three more people early in 1978, and when he was finally captured in February of that year, the physical evidence in those cases led to his conviction. Most crucial was the matching of a bite mark on the buttock of victim Lisa Levy to the Bundy's distinctive, crooked and chipped teeth. He was convicted also of the murder of 12-year-old Kimberly Leach based on fibers found in his van that matched the girl's clothing. Bundy was put to death in 1989.
