Judith Mae Andersen, age 15, was watching television on the evening of August 16, 1957, with her friend Elena Abbatacola. The girls were in the second-floor apartment that Abbatacola shared with her mother and six of her brothers at this address. Sometime around 11:15 p.m., Andersen left Abbatacola’s apartment to return home. She was never heard from again. Six days later, boaters found her torso, right arm, and left hand in a 55 gallon drum floating in Montrose Harbor. Two days after that, her head and hands were found in a bucket – also in Montrose Harbor, about a foot off the shore. It was the third in a string of child murders in Chicago over the past few years, and the city was gripped with fear. Groups of volunteer divers held hands and combed Montrose Harbor for additional clues, while detectives and news reporters scoured Andersen’s west side neighborhood in search of evidence. The pathology reports indicated that Andersen was shot in the head four times and that the time of death was approximately 12 hours after her last meal, which had been at 6:00 p.m. on the day she disappeared. Despite enormous efforts, her killer was never identified.

I have seen nothing on any suspects in this case other than William Thoresen III being questioned by Chicago PD. If I'm not mistaken, I believe he was bragging to a friend about the murder and the friend went to the police.
