Chicago Fiend Murders | M.P. Pellicer

On a frigid day in January, 1910, the Chicago headlines trumpeted, "Chicago Fiend Second White Chapel Ripper".

The reason for the sensational story was based on the opinion of Assistant Police Chief Schuettler following the coroner's report for a post-mortem completed on the body of Mrs. Jennie Cleghorn (AKA Anna Furlong). She had been found mutilated and decapitated in a South Side rooming house, which doubled as a brothel situated over a saloon owned by James Seeley at 1702 Armour Avenue (also given as 51 West 17th Street). Little did the police or the public know that this grisly crime was only the beginning.

Sarah's Sins | M.P. Pellicer

Most people are familiar with the notorious murder committed in Fall River, Massachusetts by the axe-wielding Lizzie Borden in 1892. However there was another crime just as heinous that occurred 60 years before.

In 1832, Sarah Maria Cornell, 30, died from what was assumed to be suicide by hanging. She was found fastened to a stake-pole used to dry hay. Her reason for ending her life was thought to be the shame of being pregnant and unwed. She was buried, but didn't stay there for long.
