Episode 281: The Unsolved Murders of Barbara and Patricia Grimes

Two sisters, 15 year old Barbara and 12 year old Patricia Grimes disappeared after watching a movie at the Brighton Park Movie Theater in Chicago on December 28, 1956. Less than a mont later their nude bodies were found on the side of the highway, covered in snow. There were no fatal wounds to either sister, which baffles investigators to this day. Their murders remain unsolved.
