- I was out hiking in my hometown of Forest Park Il. looking for something to tickle my eye. It's October so there's all kinds of Halloween decorations. Also, Forest Park has a scarecrow promotion going on. Most of the entries weren't very scary but then I came across one that had sausages draped over his body stanging next to a garbage can full of skeleton parts.
As a Chicago history buff who is acquainted with the windy city's rich history of murder, this appeared to a homage to one our earliest “sensational” murders. That being the murder of Louisa Luetgert wife of Adolph Luetgert who was moving millions of pounds of sausage through his northside “factory”. The crime was also known as the “Sausage Vat Murder as this is where Louisa's remains were found.
The trial was one of the first that for the most part relied on forensic evidence to secure a conviction. In any case, justice was swift with barely ten months between crime and conviction. Louisa was last seen on May 1 1897 and Adolph was convicted on February 9 1898. Final justice was almost as swift as Mr. Lutegert dies of a heart attack while serving his life sentence in Joliet prison on July 28 1899.
The factory still stands although it was converted to condo's many years ago.
