* [[ExaggeratedTrope Exaggerated]] The murder of Julia Wallace in Liverpool in 1931 has been dubbed "the perfect crime" by multiple writers, including Creator/RaymondChandler. The victim's husband William Wallace (not [[Film/{{Braveheart}} that Wallace]]) was called away from their home by a mysterious phone call inviting him to call at an address in a neighbourhood which he soon found out did not exist. Upon returning home, Wallace found that his house had been burgled and his wife murdered. Wallace himself was initially convicted of the crime, but it was soon proved that he couldn't have committed the murder: his search for the non-existent meeting place had given him a cast-iron alibi, as he couldn't have had enough time to get back home, re-enter without being seen, commit the murder, change out of his blood-spattered clothes and get back outside in time to be seen by neighbours trying to get back inside the house. Wallace's conviction was thrown out, but this left the question of who else could have done it, as the established timeline left no-one but Wallace with any window of opportunity. It seemed that the case of Ken [=McElroy=], who was shot dead had been solved in front of a crowd of 46 people but was such an AssholeVictim 1981 when evidence implicating another man, Richard Gordon Parry, emerged, only for it to be revealed in 2001 that no-one ever told police who shot him.Parry also had an alibi, as multiple witnesses swore that he had been at a party the whole night. To this day the culprit remains unidentified.

* It was [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leopold_and_Loeb Nathan Leopold and Richard Loeb]]'s goal to commit the perfect crime when they murdered fourteen-year-old Bobby Franks. They were bright young things who thought they might be {{Ubermensch}}en. They made about a frillion mistakes. Just to demonstrate how far from perfect this attempt was, some of the more notable ones are: Leaving the body right by railroad tracks, where it was quickly discovered. Leaving a pair of eyeglasses belonging to one of them with an unusual hinge mechanism that had been bought by ''three'' people in the area. And on questioning, claiming that they had been out in their car, even though their ''chauffeur'' was repairing the car that night. One of them even tried cracking a joke about, if he ''were'' to murder someone, it would be some self-important little twat like Bobby Franks. Being seen together in their rented car at the time and place the kidnapping had occurred. Yeah, Moriarty, these guys were not.
