Leopold and Loeb

An all-new season of WTTW’s Chicago Stories kicks off with a look back at one of the most sinister true crime stories of the 20th century, which took place in Chicago 100 years ago: Leopold and Loeb's murder of a 14-year-old boy.

Nathan Leopold and Richard Loeb were brilliant students from affluent, respected families who had everything going for them – so much so that they felt they had to prove their superiority by murdering a fourteen-year-old boy in the "crime of the century."
