On September 8, 1982, the body of 30-year-old marketing executive Rose Beck Davis was found in an alley in Chicago’s Gold Coast. She had been abducted, raped, beaten with an axe, and fatally stabbed. Her breasts had been slashed and a stocking was tied around her neck.

Investigators linked the killing to a group known as the Ripper Crew or the Chicago Rippers, identified in the case as Robin Gecht, Edward Spreitzer, and brothers Andrew and Thomas Kokoraleis. The group is described as having abducted women, subjected them to sexual assault and torture, and mutilated their bodies; some of these acts were said to have taken place during alleged satanic rituals in Gecht’s attic.

Andrew Kokoraleis was convicted in Davis’s death; Edward Spreitzer pleaded guilty to multiple charges including her murder; Robin Gecht and Thomas Kokoraleis were also convicted in related crimes. The attack on Davis remains one of the most brutal linked to the group. Did anyone who knew Rose or who lived in the Gold Coast area in 1982 see or hear anything that might help fill gaps in the timeline?
