Event Details

On a spring day in May 1924, a young boy, Bobby Franks, went missing while walking home from school. Within a day, his body was discovered, which launched an investigation that led to the killers, neighbors and young men of means, Nathan Leopold and Richard Loeb. In this talk, explore the 100-year legacy of the “Crime of the Century.”
