Retired cop here. Murders go unsolved more now than in 1965 for one reason: gangs. Intimidation of witnesses and people unwilling to come forward to point at the suspect or testify because they fear retaliation by gang members is the #1 reason. Short staffing also plays a part. There are far less detectives per capita these days than in 1965. Defunding hasn't helped this, as you can imagine.

Speaking of gangs/cartels. Mexico has a national homicide clearance rate of under 5%. Tijuana, murder capital of the world, has a homicide clearance rate of under 1%.
