On May 21, 1924, two University of Chicago graduate students, Nathan Leopold and Richard Loeb, kidnapped and brutally murdered 14-year old Robert Franks a block and half from his home. It was, at the time, the "crime of the century."
In lieu of a post, I offer this excellent 2007 Chicago Metro History Fair project.

I like that you have an audio documentary about the crime, That's really neat.
Thank you, but what is really neat is that the video was made by history students. I really love that and think their good work should be recognized.
Thanks for this. I've always been fascinated by Leopold and Leob, ever since I first read about them. Have you seen Compulsion?
