Leopold and Loeb | This Cruel and Vicious Murder | 3

In May, 1924, Leopold and Loeb set out to commit their carefully planned "perfect crime." First they had to choose a victim, then kidnap and kill him, hide his body, and collect a substantial ransom. They were certain they could pull it off, but nothing went quite accordingly to plan, leaving the teenage killers dangerously close to being found out.
