Leopold and Loeb: Criminal Supermen or Dumbest Criminals in History?

The perfect crime…a favorite topic among mystery writers and television showrunners, who are always coming up with new and clever ways to commit cunning, albeit fictional murders. It is not so much a concern for real criminals. As far as most of them go, a perfect crime is any one that they can get away with. There is, perhaps, one notable exception to this - Leopold and Loeb, two well-off, educated students who killed a young boy in 1924 because they wanted to commit “the perfect crime.”
