The Crime of The Century - Leopold and Loeb

They called it, "The Crime of the Century". They called it "The Perfect Crime". But despite possessing IQ's in the several hundreds, Leopold and Loeb would be caught mere days after carrying out an attrocious crime. How they got caught, was perhaps the stupidest mistake they could possibly make.

Find out more about this story which rocked America, and infected the culture in the almost 100 years since.

This video was part of a collaborative project with @ProperHorrorshow . On her channel, we discussed the 1948 Sir Alfred Hitchcock movie "Rope", which was heavily inspired by the crime that Leopold and Loeb carried out.
