The crime of the century

the Leopold and Loeb case

  • 4 Want to read

In a meticulously planned murder scheme disguised as a kidnapping, Nathan Leopold and Richard Loeb chose Bobby Franks at random as their victim, abandoning his crumpled body in a culvert before his parents had a chance to respond to the ransom demand. Revealing secret testimony and raising questions that have gone unanswered for decades, Higdon separates fact from myth as he unravels the crime, the investigation, and the trial, in which Leopold and Loeb were defended by the era's most famous attorney, Clarence Darrow.
