 VALENTINE’S DAY DANCE (1971)



o Patricia Mann and Jesse McBane were both excited about the Valentine’s Day Dance at
Watts Hospital. McBane picked Mann up at her dorm and she told her roommates that
she would be back by 1 a.m. However, she never returned and her roommates got
worried since this was not her typical pattern. While the roommates were out looking
for Mann, they discovered McBane’s car parked “at lover’s lane.” The families were
notified that the couple’s whereabouts were unknown. Mann’s cousin, Carolyn Spivey
said, “I just got the sickest feeling in my stomach that something terrible had happened.
She was a good girl. She went by the rules.”
 o Spivey was right. A surveyor found the couple’s dead bodies lying in the woods covered
with leaves. “Their hands had been tied with thick ropes behind their backs to a tree,
and ropes were stretched tight and knotted around their necks.” Upon a medical
examiner’s report, investigators concluded that the couple was tortured to death. There
were a few possible suspects, but they were never prosecuted. Horne, who is an
investigator on the case said, “Clearly, we don’t have enough evidence for prosecution
and court, but DNA is an ace in this card game, and if it comes back in our favor, it would
be very hard for this person of interest for his DNA not to be on it.”
 BODY STUFFED IN GARBAGE BAGS (2007)


o Tara Grant was allegedly missing for five days before her husband Stephen Grant
reported her missing. He told law enforcement that he waited days before contacting
them because “it was not the first time his wife had disappeared.” Stephen went on to
say that he overheard Tara’s conversation with someone over the phone in which she
said, “I’ll meet you at the end of the driveway.” From there, Stephen claimed that she
got in a vehicle and left. Police were not just going to buy into his story and weeks later,
they showed up to his house with a search warrant. They found part of Tara’s body in
the garage. Investigators also discovered a Ziploc bag which had metal shavings, blood,
and latex gloves nearby the couple’s home. Upon an autopsy of Tara’s body, County
Medical Examiner Daniel Spitz revealed that the results showed she “likely died of
strangulation before her body was dismembered.”
 o Tara’s sister said, “While this outcome represents the worst possible scenario
imaginable to anyone, we take comfort in the fact that Tara is now in a better place.”
Stephen confessed to the killing and was convicted of second degree murder.

o A commercial garage on the north side of Chicago was the setting for the most horrific
shooting in Mob history, the St. Valentine’s Day Massacre. On February 14, 1929, seven
members and associates of George “Bugs” Moran’s bootlegging gang were lined up
against a wall and shot dead inside the garage at 2122 North Clark Street. Al Capone’s
Chicago Outfit was widely suspected of ordering the hit, but no one was ever
prosecuted. When the garage was slated for demolition in 1967, entrepreneur George
Patey recovered the bricks from the wall.
o The massacre happened at the warehouse at Dickens and Clark in Chicago. A gang war
between the South Side Italian gang and the Irish American gang led to the murders of
seven men. The men killed were Albert Kachellek, Adam Heyer, Albert Weinshank, Frank
Gusenberg and Peter Gusenberg. Reinhardt Schwimmer and John May were also shot.
The South Side Italian gang was headed by Al Capone who wanted “to take control of
organized crime in Chicago.” Al Capone also planned the massacre so that he could
eradicate his long time enemy, George Moran aka Bugs, who was the head of the North
Side gang.
o Both Moran and Capone were competing to take control of the bootlegging trade and
allegedly, Malone was stepping on some of Capone’s businesses. Eventually, a plan was
hatched to lure Moran to the warehouse on Valentine’s Day so that Capone and his
gang could kill him and a few of his people. On the morning of Valentine’s Day, a
majority of Moran’s gang arrived at the warehouse. Four gunmen who were dressed like
cops, entered the building and demanded Moran’s gang “to line up against the wall.”
Gun shots were fired and the seven men dropped to the ground after being sprayed
with bullets.
