March 18th: Bruno Ludke Apprehended (1943) Time can alter a story, or a criminal case, and change into something much different. On March 18th 1943 a man was arrested for a singular murder but confessed to many, many more. A case that, when looked at with modern eyes, is anything but straight forward. In fact, if those modern eyes are right, then the man is innocent and more then 51 cases remain unsolved.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bruno_L%C3%BCdke, https://www.britannica.com/biography/Bruno-Ludke, https://murderpedia.org/male.L/l/ludke-bruno.htm, https://www.sunsigns.org/famousbirthdays/d/profile/bruno-ludke/, https://www.reddit.com/r/history/comments/4twa7c/bruno_l%C3%BCdke_germanys_worst_serial_killer_during/, https://www.facebook.com/768624506613351/posts/bruno-ludke-was-a-german-serial-killer-responsible-for-up-to-80-murders-in-the-y/1530988567043604/ Learn more about your ad choices.
