HBO / MAX The Murders at Starved Rock

[SpeedSpeak2me]

Just happened to catch this partway through the first episode (Investigation Discovery channel). Looks like it originally aired on HBO, so is available on HBO Max as well. Gotta say, it's pretty interesting. If it hadn't been for "Starved Rock" in the title I probably would have passed it up. I had no idea this even occurred back in 1960, even though I've been to that area (Ottawa, La Salle, etc) many times. There's a good chance people here have stood where the murders happened, St. Louis Canyon, in the park itself.

I watched this with my parents last Christmas vacation in Florida. What’s crazy is my mom stayed at the cabin a few years ago with her card friends. One of them wanted go for a run the following morning after they had a night of drinking. My mom woke up early the next morning from a nightmare that was of her friend getting kidnapped. My mom didn’t know about this story until she watched it with me. But literally dreamt about it while staying at the same log cabin. Super freaky!!

I just finished watching this, interesting back and forth assumptions and it was actually really good and well done.
Quick google search of Chester Weger dna answers the final question.

This past weekend as a family we were talking about doing a family reunion type vacation. I mentioned our friends have done reunions at starved rock and rented houses. My Mom went cold and said she would never go to starved rock because of the murders that have happened there. I didn’t even know about them…sounds like a must watch for me now.

Yeah, 3 women murdered 60 years ago, vs 57 in 2022 in Joliet.

Probably explains why my Mom never took us to starved rock as kids. Joliet has good taco joints so well worth the risk.

Have watched various documentaries and after seeing the location in person, it is a head scratch as to how one person placed the women’s bodies up, into that small cave (inlet). The spot is slick and elevated, especially in the winter.

That said, he did what he did.

Finished. quick google shows the single dna test went well and are trying to get granted more.

Saw this thread decided to check it out. Very good. Final episode stumbled a little with tangents but it was something I'd reccomend.
