Disproven case
This profile or article relates to a person previously suspected of being a serial killer but whose involvement has been conclusively disproven. The individual's alleged guilt was initially supported by circumstantial evidence, unreliable confessions, or erroneous identifications. However, subsequent investigations, legal rulings, or new evidence have exonerated the individual. Despite these findings, some public or media speculation may persist. Various reasons contributed to the initial suspicion, but the case has since been resolved to clear the individual's name.
Case-Specific Details: The Thomas Quick case became controversial when it was revealed that Quick (now Sture Bergwall) had fabricated his confessions to over 30 murders, leading to multiple wrongful convictions. Despite a lack of physical evidence, he was convicted based on his confessions. All his convictions were later overturned, exposing serious flaws in both the legal and psychiatric systems.
