I just looked at the index for the book Devil in the White City by Erik Larson that I remember reading years ago. I'm surprised Luetgert doesn't appear. Seems like he would have included this infamous Chicago murder as it was during the same time period.

Larson is such a great writer. I tore through Dead Wake (the story of the Lusitania) in about a week.

Was he decapitated, or thrown out of a window?
