Agnes Lehman was brutally murdered in Chicago by a serial killer.
May she rest in heavenly peace.
Agnes Lehman was beaten to death near grant park bandshell on July 10th, 1970, her body found the next morning. A shoe recovered at the scene was linked to suspect Wilbur McDonald, arrested twelve days later as he lay unconscious by some railroad tracks, the victim of a mugging. McDonald admitted speaking with Lehman the night of her death, but insisted a black man had rushed from the darkness, assaulting them both and putting McDonald to flight. Skeptical jurors rejected the story, convicting McDonald of murder, and the court handed down a sentence of 100 to 150 years in prison. Authorities saw no reason to reopen the case. On September 5th, 1972, Judith Betteley was beaten to death a few yards from the old murder scene.

Authorities finally arrested the right person, but not until he brutally murdered numerous people without being caught. Wilbur McDonald was eventually released.
May she rest in heavenly peace.
