Скачать или смотреть 5 Crimes That Were Solved by Pure Accident

We like to believe crimes are solved because investigators never give up.
That justice is inevitable.
That every criminal eventually slips.

But history shows something much darker.

In this video, we count down five notorious crimes that were solved almost entirely by accident — cases where investigators were stalled, suspects felt safe, and justice seemed impossible… until one random moment changed everything.

A television broadcast.
A piece of outdated technology.
A routine traffic stop.
A database never meant for law enforcement.

These cases weren’t cracked through brilliant breakthroughs or last-minute confessions — they were solved through chance.

Ranked by Shock Value:

We rank these cases based on:
• How close the criminal came to getting away with it
• How random the final turning point was
• How irreversible that moment became

Cases Covered:

• John List
• Gary Ridgway (The Green River Killer)
• Ted Bundy
• Dennis Rader (BTK Killer)
• Joseph James DeAngelo (The Golden State Killer)

Each story proves the same unsettling truth: sometimes justice isn’t inevitable — it’s accidental.
