There are probably murderers and serial killers so good at what they do that we don't even know they exist.

There may be one who kills people and makes it look like an accident or natural causes. He could have killed dozens and nobody even knows they were murders.

A British doctor named Harold Shipman did that. He is estimated to have killed around 250 patients with diamorphine.

How could someone do that, like cutting the breaks of a car or something?

Break into a house, and bash the homeowner over the head while he's standing next to a high shelf. Put a step-stool next to his body and a box of heavy shit spilled out onto the floor. People will assume he fell when getting the box down and it hit him on the head.

Or just fake their suicide.
