Shui Mak was a 30-year-old woman of Asian descent abducted on May 29, 1982, from Hanover Park, a village northwest of Villa Park, Illinois. Her body was found months later, on September 30, 1982, in northwest Cook County. Her abduction and murder are attributed to the group known as the Ripper Crew or Chicago Rippers.

The Ripper Crew is described as a satanic cult and gang operating in the Chicago area in the early 1980s. Members named in connection with the group are Robin Gecht, Edward Spreitzer, and brothers Andrew and Thomas Kokoraleis. The group’s crimes are described as involving abduction, extreme violence, mutilation, and alleged ritualistic practices carried out at a location referred to as a Satanic Chapel.

Following arrests in late 1982, Edward Spreitzer and Andrew Kokoraleis were convicted of multiple murders; Andrew Kokoraleis was executed in 1999. Robin Gecht and Thomas Kokoraleis received lengthy prison terms, with Thomas Kokoraleis later released after serving part of his sentence. Does anyone have information about Shui Mak’s life before her abduction or details that could add to the record of her case?
