True story, although sad, about three young boys who were murdered and thrown in a ditch in the chicago Forest Preserve. At the time this happened, {1955} little control over the media and being able to control some of the officers that wanted to have their pictures taken with the bodies, ruined much of the evidence. It took almost 40 years to find the killer and then only after another killing. This was a very interesting story, I felt very bad for the family of the boys and the way they died. Chicago was an organized time of crooks and criminals at this year of 1955 and catching them was harder than now as they didn't have the equipment and computers and such. Very good read.
