The Imperfect Perfect Crime: The Murder of Bobby Franks
**Summary:**
Nathan Leopold and Richard Loeb, influenced by Nietzsche’s philosophy, committed the kidnapping and murder of Bobby Franks, intending to execute the "perfect crime." They were arrested after a series of missteps, including leaving behind Leopold’s unique glasses. Their trial became a media sensation, with Clarence Darrow successfully avoiding the death penalty for them. Loeb was murdered in prison in 1936, while Leopold became a model prisoner and was eventually released in 1958, living the rest of his life in Puerto Rico.
