In the spring of 1924, two sons of Chicago’s most powerful dynasties set out to prove exactly that.Nathan Leopold—an ornithological prodigy boasting a recorded IQ of 210—and Richard Loeb, a magnetic, hyper-privileged heir, shared a lethal delusion: that they were Nietzschean Übermenschen, born superior to ordinary mortals and immune to human morality. Desperate for the ultimate intellectual thrill, they spent seven months engineering what they believed would be history's first flawless murder, with no motive of money, passion, or revenge. Their chosen target: fourteen-year-old Bobby Franks.Beyond Law: Anatomy of an Arrogant Murder is an immersive, multi-part investigative series dissecting the lethal collision of arrogance, corrupted philosophy, and forensic hubris.
