The murder of Maria Ridulph occurred in December 1957 when the 7-year-old girl was abducted while playing near her home in Sycamore, Illinois. Her remains were found five months later in a rural area, sparking one of the longest cold case investigations in U.S. history. Decades later, in 2012, Jack McCullough (AKA John Tessier), a former neighbor, was convicted of her murder based on new evidence, though his conviction was overturned in 2016 due to misinterpreted facts. The case remains a tragic unsolved mystery with enduring legal and investigative challenges.
