On a spring day in May 1924, a young boy, Bobby Franks, went missing while walking home from school. Within a day his body had been discovered, launching an investigation that within a week led to the killers, Nathan Leopold and Richard Loeb, who were his neighbors and young men of means. Join CHM director of exhibitions Paul Durica on this tour that traces the “Crime of the Century” a century after the events unfolded.
