Lorraine Borowski, 21, was abducted in broad daylight on May 15, 1982, while on her way to open the real estate office where she worked as a receptionist. Her shoes, cosmetics, and keys were left behind at the scene. Her remains were found five months later in a cemetery in Clarendon Hills, Illinois.

Lorraine was identified as one of the victims of the group known as the Ripper Crew, named in connection with a series of abductions and murders in the Chicago area in the early 1980s. Members linked to the group include Robin Gecht, Edward Spreitzer, and brothers Andrew and Thomas Kokoraleis. Andrew Kokoraleis and Edward Spreitzer were convicted and sentenced to death; Andrew Kokoraleis was executed by lethal injection in 1999 and Spreitzer’s sentence was later commuted to life imprisonment. Robin Gecht was convicted of rape and mutilation in another case and received a 120-year sentence. Thomas Kokoraleis had a life sentence overturned and later accepted a 70-year plea; he served 35 years and was released in 2019.

Lorraine’s death remains a stark reminder of the violence inflicted on multiple women during that period. If anyone knew Lorraine, her routines, or has information about her abduction, please share what is known.
