Adolph LuetgertAdolph Luetgert was known as the "sausage king" of Chicago in the late 19th century. But after his wife, Louise, disappeared in 1897, police discovered that he had murdered her and dissolved her body in a vat of acid in his Diversey Parkway factory. Chicago author Robert Loerzel documented the case in his book, Alchemy of Bones. Learn More (Credit: Robert Loerzel)
Al CaponeAl Capone came to Chicago from Brooklyn in 1919, and soon became head of the Chicago mob, raking in millions a year in both illegal and legitimate industries. But the height of his infamy came in 1929, when he ordered the St. Valentine's Day Massacre. Capone's associates gunned down seven people inside a warehouse at 2122 N. Clark St. in the Lincoln Park neighborhood – which was used by rival bootlegger George "Bugs" Moran. (Credit: AP)
Leopold And LoebIn a quest to commit the "perfect crime" as Nietzschean supermen, University of Chicago student Nathan Leopold (right) and his friend Richard Loeb kidnapped 14-year-old Bobby Franks and stabbed him to death with a chisel on May 21, 1924. Storied defense attorney Clarence Darrow succeeded in preventing them from being sent to the gallows. (Credit: WTTW)
John DillingerA string of bank robberies all over the Midwest in the 1930s led John Dillinger to be named Public Enemy No. 1. He was gunned down by FBI agents at the Biograph Theatre on Lincoln Avenue in 1934. (Credit: AP)
William HeirensWilliam Heirens was convicted first of the 1945 slayings of Frances Brown, 32, and Josephine Ross, 43, then the dismemberment of 6-year-old Suzanne Degnan the following year.

Richard SpeckRichard Speck broke into a Southeast Side dormitory and killed eight student nurses on July 13, 1966.

Another four bodies were found in the Des Plaines River. (Credit: CBS)
Brian DuganBrian Dugan had already been convicted of two murders when he confessed to the 1983 murder and rape of 10-year-old Jeanine Nicarico in Naperville.

Floyd DurrConvicted sex offender Floyd Durr pleaded guilty to the murder of 11-year-old Ryan Harris, whose partially naked body was found in August 1998 in an Englewood neighborhood backyard.
