So I'm playing Phoenix Wright again, and I'm wondering if in the entire history of modern law enforcement, has there ever really been one of those Sherlock Holmes/Perry Mason/Phoenix Wright-style murders...?
You know the ones - where some genius murderer creates an absurdly elaborate plot to pin the murder on someone else with disguises, fake planted evidence, and fake scenes staged to fool innocent bystanders into thinking they saw the dupe kill the victim?
I've heard of murderers using gloves, and police faking evidence when they were sure they had the guilty party, and things like that, but never the real mastermind murder that's been with us in fiction since Sherlock Holmes.
I tried googling and came up with nothing but movies, TV shows, novels, and video games. I'm just curious because it happens constantly in fiction, but I've never once heard of a real-life case, and I wonder if anyone ever really did try it and got caught.
