Yes. Check out the Ervil LeBaron group of polygamists, which are famous for murdering those they felt were apostate against God (the name of their church is Church of the Lamb of God). Some helpful links are included under "Related Links" below.

If police are investigating a murder and there are no leads how long until they decide to close the case?

Murder cases are never "closed" until a suspect has been identified and arrested, or the case is re-classified as something other than a murder. Murder cases can be classified as "inactive" when al leads are exhausted and the investigators don't know where else to go with the case. Most departments assign these "cold cases" to investigators to work on in their available time, or have dedicated cold case units who review cold cases for new leads. The amount of time that passes until a case is inactive is an individual decision determined by the facts of the case and the available investigative resources. There's no clear rule on how much time it takes.
