The increasing popularity around mystery/crime shows seems to be all fun and games. That is, until it becomes real. A neighborhood in Tampa has found itself in that kind of dilemma. There have been a series of three murders, all in a span of a month. They were all seemingly good people, so there were no motives behind the murder and there is a detailed analysis of each victim in the article. There is currently a person of interest, but the murders are being investigated right now.

Murder mysteries have sort of an appealing factor to them and have been used in literature since 1868, when Wilkie Collins published The Woman in White. This is credited as the first murder mystery. Since then, the genre has blossomed. However, murders in real life are, luckily, taken much more seriously than in books and television. It is a seriously scary topic, especially when there is no motive found.
