About this episode
This season on American Criminal we’re taking you inside the minds of the killers who committed one of the most infamous crimes of the 20th century: Leopold and Loeb.
In 1924, two teenagers abducted and murdered Bobby Franks in broad daylight because they were convinced they could get away with it. But what made them think that? Why were they obsessed with committing the perfect crime? And how did their meticulous scheme come so spectacularly undone?
Don’t miss the latest season of American Criminal – Leopold and Loeb beginning August 28th.
