James Dunham
James C. Dunham, was a multiple murderer who, on the night of May 26, 1896, killed his wife, her family, and two of that family's servants in Campbell, California. Using an axe and two revolvers, Dunham murdered: Dunham's motives are unknown. The sole survivors were Dunham's and Hattie's 3-week-old son and a farmhand, George Schaible, who had hidden in the barn during the massacre. Although investigators conducted an extensive manhunt throughout Santa Clara County, California, Dunham was never found and the case remains officially open. The manhunt had also found pieces of  Dunham's clothing as well as recent campfires. It was believed that he escaped via bicycle rather than horse with the latter being much more common during that time period; a plausible reason for this was that Dunham was a long distance cyclist. Rumors persisted of his having escaped to Cuba.
