September 1921 Dick Rowland and Sarah Page 19 and Probably 17 Tulsa, Oklahoma Tulsa race massacre probably began because Rowland, an African American shoe shiner at a nearby store, tripped in an elevator and grabbed onto Page, a white elevator operator, to avoid falling, causing Page to scream, and a witness probably mistook this for an attempted rape.

Mary Agnes Moroney
2 Chicago, Illinois, U.S. Moroney went missing after her mother, a struggling 17-year-old mother of two, gave her to a stranger calling herself "Julia Otis" in exchange for $2 on the understanding that the woman would take care of the girl in California for a short time and then return her to the Moroneys' Chicago home when things were better. She never did, and the ensuing investigation attracted national media attention. The girl was never located, and the case remains the oldest unsolved missing-persons case of this nature in the files of the Chicago Missing Persons Bureau.

Though the results are conclusive, since Burchard's body itself has not been tested, and the perpetrator(s) have not been identified, the case is still officially unsolved. However, the Chicago Police cold case unit have pronounced the case closed. [62][63][64]
