After more than six decades, Chicago police successfully resolved the 1960 child murder cold case of eight-year-old Gloria Kowalewicz, who was abducted and killed while walking to church. Investigators utilized modern forensic advancements to examine preserved physical evidence, specifically lifting a matching fingerprint from the strap of the victim's communion purse. This critical breakthrough tied the heinous crime to Thomas F. McInerney Jr., a violent crimes investigator who had recently joined the municipal law enforcement agency at the time of the incident. Because the perpetrator was a rogue officer who died in 2006, experts express deep concern that he may have abused his official authority to victimize the child and potentially committed similar undiscovered offenses during his career.
