Unsolved murders are becoming more prevalent in the United States. According to NPR, the U.S. ranks low in solving murders compared to other industrialized nations, with only about half of all murder cases being solved or closed in recent years. Factors contributing to this include an increase in murders by strangers and slower police response rates, as well as growing public distrust of law enforcement.
