When I lived in the area in the 1980s, people associated with Jane's department thought that a faculty curator of the Peabody Museum (Harvard anthropology museum) was the one. She was purported to have been involved with him and he had acted suspiciously, etc. He is an Eastern European national...
Poor girl. I was going to express a hunch that this is connected to "Bike Path Rapist" Altemio Sánchez. He was operating during that time, and I had a "sighting" encounter with him as did other women in this area. He was very active, even though there were only three confirmed murders.
However...
I suspect I had an encounter with him on the Amherst Bike Path in the early 2000's. The path was full of signs saying not to jog alone, but over ten years had passed since the last confirmed murder, so I jogged and cycled alone there all the time. One day in the late morning or early afternoon...
I encountered him on the Amherst Bike Path, in the early 2000's. He was on a bicycle, dressed in dark clothing, and wearing a bicycle helmet. He glared at me with such anger, I thought he must be a plainclothes policeman working on the case, who was angry at me for jogging alone. However, when...
I'm not familiar enough with the area to know what's a part of the city proper and what's a suburb. And I don't think it matters.
The name of this thread is "Chicago Hammer Murders." No need to draw a distinction between the inner city and the suburbs because the thread doesn't and the crime...
Southeast Oak Park was the neighborhood in which he lived. He was walking from public transit to home. I'm not familiar with Chicago residential areas, but I've read that it's considered a fairly safe one.
I suppose it could have been an African-American serial killer harboring rage against females and against white men.
Here is a link with some photos of Peter. He was no push-over.

Peter was powerfully-built and athletic. He may have been short, but according to sources I've read, he had been a marathon runner in school. Look at any photos and you can see he looks very strong, not a bookish type at all.
I have personally anguished over this case, as though he were a...
There were many situations at Harvard back then involving women being pressured or harassed into affairs with faculty who had some say over their careers. I personally knew two women who were pressured for sexual favors by their faculty advisors. Eventually some of these women spoke out against...
Yes; I went to Harvard Grad School of Arts & Sciences in the eighties and had friends who were Anthropology grad students. They said that the victim had been involved on the side with a married man who was a professor or other high-level Harvard employee, associated with or in Anthropology...
