1980–1984

Pastel drawing of Óscar Romero, murdered Archbishop

• Jeannie Mills (39) was a female early defector from the Peoples Temple along with her husband and teenage daughter, who were all murdered on 26 February 1980 in front of their Berkeley, California home. ^[1] The murder is still unsolved.
• Philadelphia mob boss Angelo Bruno (69) was killed by a shotgun blast to the back of his head as he sat in his car in front of his South Philadelphia house on 21 March 1980. Antonio Caponigro, one of Bruno's underlings, is believed to have ordered the killing over a drug dispute; since the murder had not been sanctioned by the Commission, Caponigro himself was reputedly killed on its orders within a month. However, no suspects have ever been identified as having actually shot Bruno. ^{[2] [3]}
• Óscar Romero, the fourth Archbishop of San Salvador, El Salvador, was killed by a shot to the heart on 24 March 1980, while celebrating Mass at a small chapel located in a hospital. It is believed but was never proven that the assassins were members of Salvadoran death squads. During the funeral a bomb exploded in Plaza Barrios fronting San Salvador Cathedral and shots were fired. Many people were killed during the subsequent mass panic. ^[4]
• The naked and beaten body of Philadelphia mobster Antonio Caponigro (68), nicknamed "Tony Bananas", was found in the trunk of a car in the Bronx on 18 April 1980, along with that of his brother-in-law Alfred Salerno. He was believed to have ordered the killing of his own boss, Angelo Bruno, a month earlier over a drug dispute; since he had not gotten the approval of the Commission he was himself killed at their order. No suspects have ever been named. ^[2]
• Dorothy Jane Scott (32) disappeared on 28 May 1980 in Anaheim, California after heading to pick up a colleague who had been discharged from the hospital following treatment for a spider bite. Her car was found burnt out in an alleyway 10 miles (16 km) from the hospital the following morning, and her decomposed remains were discovered in August 1984. ^[5] Her murderer and cause of death remain unknown, but police believe an unidentified male who stalked Scott with harassing phone calls prior to her disappearance and subsequent murder is the likely suspect.
• War saxophonist Charles Miller (41), who co-wrote and sang their hit "Low Rider", was killed during a robbery in Los Angeles on 14 June 1980. ^[6] No suspects have ever been identified.
• The explosion that killed all 81 on board Itavia Flight 870 near the Italian island of Ustica on 27 June 1980 has been variously attributed to a bomb or a missile strike. Whatever the cause, the investigations have been criticized as ineffective, and no culprits identified. There has also been a series of suspicious deaths, murders or suicides among people involved in or investigating the case, ^[7] further raising suspicion of a conspiracy.
• Troy Leon Gregg (32), the first condemned individual whose death sentence was upheld by the United States Supreme Court after the Furman v. Georgia ruling invalidated all previously enacted death penalty laws in the United States, escaped from Georgia State Prison in Reidsville, Georgia along with three other death row inmates and convicted murderers on 29 July 1980. Gregg's body was found in the Catawba River later that night; he had died as a result of suffocation. One theory suggests that Gregg was killed in a biker bar in North Carolina after attempting to assault a waitress. Another theory suggests that Gregg was murdered after getting into an argument with one of his fellow escapees, Timothy McCorquodale, and James Cecil Horne, a member of the Outlaws Motorcycle Club. Horne was initially charged with Gregg's murder, with William Flamont being charged as an accessory to the crime. All charges against Horne and Flamont were later dropped due to lack of evidence. ^[8]
• Tammy Terrell, a formerly unidentified seventeen-year-old, was discovered on 5 October 1980, in Henderson, Nevada. Authorities believe she may have been the victim of human trafficking. ^[9]
• Giorgio Agatino Giamonna (25), and Antonio Galatola (15) were two young homosexual males discovered deceased in Giarre, Italy on 31 October 1980. Both had been shot in the head and were discovered holding hands. The perpetrator of the murders was never identified, but is believed to have been the 13-year-old nephew of one of the victims. The deaths of Giamonna and Galatola ultimately led to the widespread recognition of homophobia among the Italian public and the strengthening and recognition of Italian gay rights movements. ^[10]
• Dean and Tina Clouse, whose decomposing remains were found outside of Houston in January 1981, but were not identified until 2021. Their infant daughter, Holly Marie, was not found with their bodies, and was later located alive in Oklahoma in 2022. It was discovered that Holly Marie had been abandoned at a church in Arizona by members of an unknown Jesus freak cult, who are now considered the main suspects in the murders of Dean and Tina. ^[11]
• Another Philadelphia mobster believed to have been involved in the Angelo Bruno assassination, Frank Sindone (52), was found dead with three gunshot wounds in the back of his head in a South Philadelphia alley on 29 October 1980. ^[12] His death is believed to have been ordered by the Commission as punishment for the unsanctioned killing of Bruno, but no suspects have ever been identified.

Two of Testa's underbosses have been described as responsible; however, no actual suspects have ever been named.
• Thor Nis Christiansen (23) was a Danish-American serial killer from Solvang, California. He committed his first three murders in late 1976 and early 1977, killing young women of similar appearance from nearby Isla Vista.

Afterwards, Ong was found dead inside his abandoned lorry at Teo Hong Road, with a gaping bullet wound on the right side of his neck. Ong's death was ruled as murder in the coroner's verdict in 1998, with Khor, who escaped to Malaysia, being the prime suspect. Although Khor was arrested in 2003 and later sentenced to death for discharging his firearm under the Arms Offences Act, he was never brought to trial for Ong's murder, as the prosecution had withdrawn the preliminary murder charge against Khor before he was hanged. ^{[94] [95] [96] [97] [98] [99] [100] [101]}
• The strangled bodies of Margaret Tapp (35) and her daughter Seana (9) were found at their home in Melbourne's Ferntree Gully neighborhood on 7 August 1984; Seana had been sexually assaulted. ^[102] Two suspects were cleared after their DNA did not match that left at the scene; the case was reopened in the 2010s.

• After an anonymous caller to the house of Grégory Villemin (4), of Lépanges-sur-Vologne, France, told his family on 16 October 1984, he had taken the boy, who had been playing unsupervised in front of the house, a search found Grégory's body, bound and gagged, in the Vologne River 7 km (4.3 mi) away, where he had apparently been drowned (although the autopsy suggested the drowning had occurred in a different body of water). This began a case that has continued to receive extensive national media attention. An anonymous note suggesting the writer had killed the boy led to the arrest of Bernard Laroche, a Villemin cousin, who was now suspected of having written a long string of threatening anonymous letters to members of the family, socially and economically prominent in that area of the Vosges. Grégory's father, Jean-Marie, shot and killed Laroche several months later; he would serve several years in prison as a result. Handwriting experts then linked Grégory's mother to the notes; she was charged with the murders but, after seven years and two trials, acquitted. Efforts to recover DNA from the principal evidence in the early 21st century failed, but in 2017 three of Grégory's other relatives were charged, although police say they do not yet know who actually killed him. ^[105]

• The bombing of a Madrid restaurant on 12 April 1985 killed 18, ^{[109] [110] [111]} making it at the time the deadliest terrorist attack in Spain since the Spanish Civil War. Responsibility has been claimed by both domestic groups such as the ETA and radical Muslim groups, all of whom it is believed may have been wanting to target the restaurant since it was popular with U.S. Air Force personnel from a nearby base. The investigation is continuing.
• Winnifred Teo (18) was found dead on 22 May 1985 on the Old Holland Road in Singapore after being stabbed to death and may also have been raped, ^{[112] [113]} after failing to return home the night before after going jogging. The case has never been solved.
• In May 1985, two older women were murdered in New York City hotels just days and blocks apart, one with 'an axe-like weapon' and the other a 'blunt instrument'. ^{[114] [115] [116]} On 25 May 1985, Janet C. Scott, 85, was found murdered in her room at the Bryant Hotel, a residential hotel. She suffered a few wounds to her head, believed to be caused by an axe, machete, or cleaver. The suspected motive was robbery. Five days later, 58-year-old Ruth Potdevin, of Ridgewood, New Jersey, was found murdered in her room at the Dorset Hotel located at 30 West 54th Street, near Fifth Avenue, just two blocks away from the Bryant. Ruth's husband found her body in the hotel room after she failed to return after going to the room to change clothes for a luncheon. Both women bore similar wounds on her skull and a similar ritualistic procedure was performed with a shorn piece of her hair and scalp. ^[117] Credit cards had been taken from Ruth's wallet, and just one day following the murder, a man and woman were seen using one of the credit cards in a camera store in Times Square. There were suspect composites created of the individuals who used Ruth's credit cards, but they were likely not the murderers. Neither case was ever solved.
• Tony "Spaghetti" Eustace, Australian fugitive, was found murdered on 23 April 1985, after he had been shot six times. ^{[118] [119]} He was found dead by two schoolchildren who were returning home from sports training at about 7 pm. The murder remains unsolved.
• In June 1985, a bomb at Germany's Frankfurt Airport killed three, with several Islamic organizations taking credit; the Abu Nidal Organization is believed to have been the real perpetrator, but no arrests have ever been made. ^[120]
• Haruo Ignacio Remeliik (52) was a politician from Palau. He served as the first President of Palau from 2 March 1981, until his assassination on 30 June 1985. ^[121] In March 2000, former presidential candidate and convicted felon John O. Ngiraked claimed responsibility for the conspiracy to kill Remeliik, ^[122] but has not yet been charged with his murder, so the case is officially unsolved.
• On 1 July, a bombing of several international airline offices in Madrid was followed by a submachine gun attack on another nearby airline office, killing one. Representatives of several Muslim groups claimed credit; it is today believed by some to have been perpetrated by the Abu Nidal Organization. No individual suspects have ever been identified. ^{[123] [124]}
• The Rev. Niall Molloy (52), a Catholic priest, was found beaten to death in the master bedroom of Kilcoursey House in Clara, County Offaly, Ireland on 8 July 1985. There were signs of a struggle and evidence that the body had been moved. Richard Flynn, the owner and a longtime friend of Molloy's, confessed the killing to the garda but, at trial, the judge granted the defense a directed verdict of not guilty after merely four hours, believing the medical evidence insufficient to support a manslaughter charge. A coroner's jury later found that Molloy died of head injuries, which led to calls to reopen the case. In subsequent years, it emerged that the investigation had been perfunctory, leaving much evidence unexamined and witness uninterviewed; a 2011 review of the surviving medical evidence found it highly likely that Molloy had survived his injuries for several hours, which raised the question of why emergency services were not called until after he was dead. In 2015 the Irish government declined to open a review, since many of the original witnesses had since died and it did not think any new information would be obtained; Molloy's relatives felt otherwise. ^[125]

J. Simpson's defense team successfully petitioned the court trying him for the murders of Nicole Brown Simpson, his ex-wife, and Ronald Goldman, for access to the case file, on the grounds that the way in which all three were stabbed suggested the same killer. ^[286] Since Goldman had worked for Cantor as a waiter, and Nicole Simpson was a regular at Dragonfly, some books about the case have raised the possibility that the three killings may also have resulted from involvement in drug trafficking. ^{[287] [288] [289]}

The investigation became a political issue with opponents of the Suharto regime claiming the dictator himself or other government officials were behind it as retaliation for his reporting on their misdeeds, while the government and police suggested it had been the work of a jealous husband. A suspect arrested on the latter theory was later acquitted, protesting his innocence as his trial revealed some investigation shortcomings, among them that he had been pressured to confess.

• JonBenét Ramsey (6), an American girl who had competed in child beauty pageants, was found dead in the basement of her parents' home in Boulder, Colorado, on 26 December 1996, nearly eight hours after a ransom note was apparently found and she was reported missing.

Police suspected the parents of staging the ransom note and strangulation to cover up an accidental killing by either the mother or nine-year-old brother. A 1999 grand jury recommended charging the parents with obstruction and endangerment, but the district attorney declined to prosecute. Discovery of trace DNA from an unknown male in 2003 ^[372] led a new district attorney in 2008 to write an apology to the Ramseys, declaring them "cleared of any involvement". ^[373] Contradictory evidence seems to support both the family and outside intruder theories, and after several independent investigations, the case is still unsolved as of February 2020 ^[update] . ^[374]

More recently a theory has been floated that the killers were members of a local biker gang who had mistaken her for their real target, another local woman of similar appearance married to a fellow criminal. Police believe that the shooter and getaway car driver have since died of a heart attack and boating accident, respectively; they have offered the remaining participant immunity if he testifies against the man who they believe ordered the killing. ^[390]

He had been shot through the right eye. Since no money or valuables were taken, this led to theories that the killer or killers had intended to avenge the death of Rudi Arnstadt, an East German border guard Plüschke had killed with a similar shot during a 14 August 1962, shootout ^[403] during Plüschke's service as a West German border guard, which got him sentenced to 25 years in prison in absentia by an East German court; West Germany insisted the shooting had been justified as return fire and never extradited him.
