21 May 1924: Robert "Bobby" Franks (1909-1924) was murdered by Nathan Leopold (1904-1971) & Richard Loeb (1905-1936), for the sheer thrill of committing the "perfect crime;" the pair's scheme to misdirect the police by demanding a ransom for Franks' return was undone by the rapid discovery of the murdered boy's body (22 May); they were formally questioned & turned on each other (29 May).
