According to the Federal Bureau of Investigation, in 2004, 62.6% of homicides were "cleared," leaving a substantial portion of murder cases unresolved.
In 2004, there were 16,137 cases of murder or nonnegligent manslaughter in the United States. Because 37.4% of these cases went uncleared, around 6,035 people "got away with murder" that year.
Pretty scarey statistics, huh??

Between 40 and 50%. Once an investigation has cleared the immediate family and friends, it is very difficult to solve.
Something else to help you sleep at night: There are between 10 to 15 serial murders operating in the US at any given time..........

I do not have an exact figure, but I can tell you this:
With the new technologies they are employing to catch murderers, the number is much smaller than it was only 10 years ago.

I think a better question is: If they're technically not solved, how do we know they're really murders at all?
