Sarah Imhoff appeared as a historian in a documentary about the 1924 Leopold and Loeb murder. As described by WTTW, the documentary “Deadly Alliance: Leopold & Loeb, looks back on a shocking event that later became known as “the crime of the century.” On a spring afternoon 100 years ago, Nathan Leopold and Richard Loeb were affluent teenagers living in Kenwood, blocks from the University of Chicago, when they challenged themselves to commit “the perfect crime.” Driving around the neighborhood, they abducted 14-year-old Bobby Franks, ruthlessly murdered him, and hid his body in a culvert. But the crime turned out to be far from perfect, and once convicted of the killing, only legendary defense attorney Clarence Darrow could save Leopold and Loeb from the gallows.” It is available for streaming here.
