The Grimes sisters case made MSM this morning. Which led me to an older article I had missed which I'll share first.
Shortly after I had conducted the research for the book "Chicago\\'s Haunt Detective" (I had included the Grimes case in the book because of some ghost stories associated with where the girls' bodies were found) I came across a similar crime that took place in Addison, IL about one year after the Grimes case. It involved the murder of Bonnie Leigh Scott who was murdered at the age of 15 and whose nude body was found by a group of cub scouts from Cicero on a nature hike just over a guard rail at 95th and LaGrange Road near Palos Hills. The man who was responsible for the crime had made a phone call to Loretta Grimes shortly after Scott's body was discovered boasting about killing the Grimes girls and Scott and getting away with both crimes. Mrs. Grimes claimed that the voice of that person was the same as the voice of the person who called her after her girls' bodies were discovered and boasted about undressing them and shared with Loretta personal information about one of the girls that was not previously published. Loretta was quoted as saying "I will never forget that voice".
