Synopsis
Born in Chicago in 1905, Richard Loeb skipped several grades in school and was accepted to the University of Chicago at age 14. There he grew close to another young prodigy named Nathan Leopold, who became his partner in crime. In 1924, the two murdered 14-year-old Bobby Franks, who was a cousin of Loeb's. The duo were caught more than a week later and, following a high-profile trial, eventually sentenced to life in prison. Loeb was killed by another inmate in 1936.
