104. Sounds Like The Coldest Cold Case - The Grimes Sisters Murders


Listen Later

In 1956 Chicago, it wasn't unusual for a couple of young women to venture out on foot at night to see a movie at a local theater.  So when 15 year-old Barbara Grimes and her 12 year-old sister Patricia - both huge fans of Elvis Presley - asked their mom if they could walk to the local cinema to watch "Love Me Tender" for the umpteenth time on December 28, 1956, Loretta Grimes had no problem saying "yes."  Except that Loretta never saw Barbara or Patricia ever again.  After launching one of the most exhaustive missing persons investigations in Chicago history - and with pleas on radio and television from even Elvis himself - the frozen, nude bodies of both girls were found nearly a month after their disappearance.  In the months and years that followed, police received dozens of reports of sightings of the girls in the days between their disappearance and the discovery of their bodies.  Many of those reports led to actual suspects, but none of those leads panned out.  In 1974, the Chicago PD declared the case unsolvable.  But not everyone gives up so easily.  Join Melissa as she winds through the years of tragedy, confusion and frustration the Grimes family have witnessed - and the light of hope held up by a determined retired detective who wasn't even born when the Grimes Sisters disappeared.
