     In 1956, three days after Christmas, two Chicago girls, Barbara Grimes, fifteen, 

and her thirteen-year-old sister Patricia, left home to see Love Me Tender, the first 

movie starring the heartthrob of the day, Elvis Presley. They never made it home, 

intercepted somewhere between the Brighton Theater and their house on South 

Damen Avenue. Twenty-six days later, following a series of bizarre reports of 

sightings far and wide, they were found dead on a road southwest of the city, their

bodies frozen and marked by rodents. While Chicago residents reeled with shock

and parents tightened reins on their children, a full-scale investigation ensued, but a 

fresh snowfall at the death site and disputes over jurisdictional authority marred its

 progress from the start. In the end, no one was ever brought to trial.
