The 1924 murder of Bobby Franks by Nathan Leopold and Richard Loeb caused much public outrage. Leopold, a 19 year old college student with an IQ of 200, enlisted his friend Richard Loeb, to abduct and kill 14 year old Franks, not because of something that he did, but because Leopold and Loeb were bored.

One of the killers lost his prescription glasses at the crime scene and it didn't take long for the police to find them. Their attorney, Clarence Darrow, was able to keep them out of the gallows, but the were both sentenced to life in prison.

In 1936 Loeb was murdered by a fellow inmate. After serving 33 years, Leopold was finally released in 1958. He moved to Puerto Rico and married in 1961. He died 10 years later.
