Chicago rippers: member of fierce gang released in USA

In late March, one member of the notorious US gang of "Chicago Rippers" was released. In 1980, they terrified Americans with the inhuman cruelty of their crimes. For two years, criminals kidnapped and killed 18 women. A horrible death was prepared for their victims, and the mutilated bodies of the unfortunate killers were used in bloody satanic rituals.

"Lenta.ru" remembered the path of the "Chicago Rippers" and found out how the relatives of the victims tried to prevent the release of one of the murderers.

The editors warned that the material contains a description of scenes of violence, and advises impressionable readers to evaluate the feasibility of familiarizing themselves with it.

At the beginning of the 80 of the last century in the United States, devil worship, or Satanism, was a popular countercultural hobby among young people: teenagers dyed their hair in black and performed harmless religious rituals to the glory of Baphomet. Puritan America experienced this phenomenon painfully, but for the people of Chicago it became a real tragedy. The followers of Satan held them in fear for two whole years. To rape a woman, amputate her left breast with a wire loop and start devouring still warm flesh - that was the Chicago Ripper trademark.

1 June 1981 three detectives went to Vila Park, a remote area of ​​Chicago, at the Moonlight Hotel: the hotel manager claimed to have found the body on its territory. Detectives knew: this hotel was notorious. It was rumored that it was always possible to quickly rent a prostitute or buy drugs.

The maid first felt the suffocating putrid smell near the hotel: the manager was sure that the corpse of some animal was decomposing in the backyard, and without back thoughts went in search. What he saw plunged him into shock - in front of him lay human bones, covered with remnants of sticky flesh.

Arriving detectives found that before them the remains of a woman who was subjected to violence before death. There were handcuffs on her hands, a gag sticking out of her mouth, underwear pulled up to her knees. In her socks was a small bundle of dollar bills, which indicated that the robbery was not the motive of the murder.

At that time, there were no research centers in Chicago that could quickly and accurately determine the time and cause of death. Following the rules, the detectives handed over the body to the coroner to establish the details of the murder.

He was able to remove fingerprints and teeth from the victim, thanks to which the investigators identified the identity of the victim - it was 21-year-old prostitute Linda Sutton. During her short life, a woman fell behind bars several times and also gave birth to two children, who, fortunately, lived with her grandmother. The coroner also found out that, despite the strong decomposition of the body, Sutton was dead for only three days. The intensive decomposition rate of the remains was caused by the fact that both breasts were removed and multiple injuries were inflicted, which made it easier for parasites and microorganisms to access tissues and internal organs.

The police officers working on this case caught themselves thinking that this was only the beginning. Unfortunately, they were right. 12 February 1982, an 35-year-old waitress was stolen from her car. The gas tank was empty: the investigators suggested that she might have turned for help to one of the drivers passing by, who abducted her. The woman’s handbag was in the front seat, the keys were inserted into the ignition lock. A few days later her mutilated body was found on the bank of the river next to the road. Then the detectives asked the press not to report in the newspapers that her breasts were also amputated, in order to subsequently use this information during interrogations.

A few days later another victim was found with the same wounds, which allowed the detectives to conclude that a sex maniac was operating in the city. Experts have made a psychological portrait of the killer - this is a local middle-aged man, he has a family, a good job, as well as a dark side, about which no one knows.

These guesses did not help the investigation, the police also did not find any evidence that could lead to the capture of intruders. The public panicked, women were afraid to be alone in the street. In May, another girl disappeared - 21-year-old Lorain Borowski. She was last seen in the morning on May 15 of the year 1982, when Lorain came into her office. Her body was found five months later at Clarendon Hills cemetery. She was repeatedly raped, then her chest was amputated and hacked with an ax. Since May 1982, the killers have abducted girls with different frequency, not allowing the residents of Chicago to recover from the horror. Then the police had no idea that they were dealing with a whole group of psychopaths who killed in the name of Satan.

The detectives did not find anything that they could rely on in building their versions until a new victim appeared that managed to escape. Angela York was kidnapped, tortured, cut off her chest and thrown still alive. She was able to report that she was abducted by two men in a red van, holding her inside, shackled by handcuffs. They gave her a knife to cut off her own bosom, and were furious that she could not do it. One of the abductors cut off her left breast and began to masturbate in an open wound. Then he taped up the wound with tape and threw the victim onto the street.

Despite the testimony of York, detectives could not identify and find maniacs. A month later, on the banks of the river, police found the corpse of prostitute Sandra Delaware. The woman was tortured, her wrists were tied with a cord, her left breast was removed, and the bra was tied around her neck.

Two weeks later, 30-year-old Rose Beck Davis disappeared, the mutilated body of which was found on 8 September 1982 of the year. In addition to injuries typical of maniacs, the girl was beaten with an ax, and there was no living space left on her stomach from multiple stabs with a knife. The latest victim of maniacs - a prostitute Beverly Washington - was discovered on the railroad tracks in October 1982 of the year. In addition to rape and all kinds of torture, her left breast was also cut off. The girl miraculously survived this nightmare and was even able to describe her tormentors.

Beverly told the detectives: the driver of the red van was a slender white man about 25 years old, wearing a flannel shirt and square-toed boots. He had greasy brown hair and a mustache. He offered her more money than she usually demanded from her clients. The driver asked her to sit with him in the van, where, threatening with a pistol, he ordered her to take off her clothes and engage in oral sex with him. Then the abductor forced Beverly to drink a handful of pills, after which she lost consciousness and was unable to describe subsequent events. The tortured victim with a severed breast was thrown into a garbage can. The woman, however, told the detectives an important detail - in the van on the rearview mirror hung feathers and a fishing hook.

20 October 1982, the guards stopped a red van on the road: a man sat behind the wheel, completely different from the killer in the description. He said that his name is Eddie Spreutzer and that the van belongs to his boss Robin Hecht. The officers went to Hecht's house and did not believe their eyes: he fully corresponded to the portrait that Beverly Washington described, right down to the shirt and toe shape of his shoes. He behaved as if he had no worries, not a drop of fear or horror. He expressed full readiness to help the investigation.

Later, Beverly chose Hecht's photo among several photos. When the police returned for him, he already turned to a lawyer and was fully prepared to defend. What can not be said about Spreitzer, who could not stand the pressure of the investigation and began to testify, revealing to the detectives the terrible truth about their atrocities.

"Chicago Rippers"

He explained: the first time he became involved in the murder, when he got a driver to Robin Hecht. The new chief got into some kind of dark story that ended in a shootout, as a result of which one person died. Since then, crime in life has become more and more.

Once, Hecht told him to get behind the wheel and go to the prostitutes: Spreitzer carefully drove the van, not picking up speed, so that the boss could carefully consider and pick up a woman for comfort. The maniac’s choice fell on a black woman, whom he then beat, raped and cut off her breasts.

“We blindfolded her and shut up. Robin shot in the head, point blank. We tied the chains around her neck and legs, attached two bowling balls and threw her into the water. It was clear that they would not find her, ”said Spreitzer. He described the actions of his boss with horror and disgust, but admitted that once, on the instructions of the boss, he cut off the chest of another woman and masturbated into an open wound.

In total, Spreutzer testified about seven aggravated murders. The detectives were sure that they could now influence Hecht during interrogation, appealing with the data obtained. But Hecht was adamant. In the photograph of the victims, he looked with sincere indifference, and at the crime scene, where the investigators took him, he behaved calmly, as if he had nothing to hide.

In time, Spreutzer refused his testimony: he insisted that Hecht did not kill anyone. In his behavior was read the inexplicable fear of his boss. He began to testify against two more accomplices, Andrew and Thomas Kokoraleys, parishioners of the Orthodox Church of Chicago. Hecht confirmed that he knew the Kokoraleys brothers, but did so without any alarm or interest.

The brothers discovered new details of the case. They told how, under the direction of Hecht, they abducted women from the streets, raped them and pricked them with knives, razors and lids of cans. With the help of the wire, they amputated one or both breasts to the victims and also masturbated, looking at their sufferings. Andrew Kokoraleys admitted that he killed Rose Beck Davis and Lorain Borowski, and also blurted out that he was involved in the death of more 18 women.

They described the bandits and the nature of their leader. In the Hekht family, all men traditionally took young big-breasted girls as wives. But this fetish from Robin acquired painful sadistic traits: his familiar girls complained that he asked them to allow him to prick their breasts with a pin. He subjected his wife to terrible torture, but she never denounced her husband.

Detectives could not understand what unites all maniacs. What purpose did they have? What was their reason for this? The key to the clue was given to them by Thomas Kokoraleys, exposing the perverted satanic essence of their bloody affairs.

To the glory of Satan

Satanic rituals really spread throughout America, but the “Chicago Rippers” were much more serious about their worship than most misguided teens dreaming of contacting Satan.

In the attic of his house, Robin Hecht made an improvised altar, where accomplices gathered in the evening hours when his wife was not at home. The attic lit only the faint light of burning candles. On the walls were six red and black crosses, the altar itself was covered with red cloth. Accomplices knelt around the altar, on which Hecht laid out severed breasts. He read excerpts from the Satanic Bible, then the men masturbated.

After that, Hecht cut the human flesh into pieces and handed out to the rest so that they devoured them. So they performed an ancient ritual of communicating with the devil. Hecht kept the amputated flesh in a separate box in which, according to Thomas Kokoraleys, he once saw 15 severed breasts.

Hekht's accomplices, without saying a word, testified: their leader had a supernatural power of conviction. "We just had to do what he said," Thomas Kokoraleys categorically asserted.

Little is known about the identity of Hecht. He was born in 1953 year and was the most senior member of the "gang of the Rippers." As a child, he harassed his sister, for which he was sent to live with his grandparents. In adolescence, he showed great interest in Satanism and its secret rituals. Becoming a builder, Hecht got a job as a contractor for John Wen Gacy, the infamous serial killer. In one of the conversations with detectives, Hecht said that Gacy's only mistake was not killing young women of 33, but that he kept most of the bodies in the basement of his house. Investigators noted that he did not realize that killing was already the wrong behavior, but only pointed out the mistake of his former boss.

In the materials of the investigation in the case of Gacy there is evidence that for some time he had killed along with his partner. However, the police could not prove that this partner was exactly Hecht. Hekht's acquaintances warned detectives not to look him in the eye. Many have noticed his ability to control the minds of people, to inspire others to disgusting actions. He had a wife who passionately loved him and suffered his strange inclinations, and three sons, one of whom was convicted of murdering a man in 1999.

Hecht insisted on his complete innocence. He called the testimony of his accomplices a stupid joke, which was repeated again and again.

Приговор

In this horrific story, it is shocking that, despite the confessions of Spreutzer and the Cochuraleys, as well as the testimony of Beverly Washington, the police could not accuse Robin Hecht of any of the murders. Instead, he was sentenced to 120 years for attempting to murder and rape a prostitute and will be eligible for parole in 2022. In addition, Hecht constantly appeals, insisting on conducting a DNA examination in order to establish his innocence.

“You have no idea what kind of pain I feel every day while I sit here and lose hope. I am not an angel ... but I have never hurt anyone, except when I was forced to defend myself or my family. I would not be able to live by killing someone or knowing that I am able to take someone’s life, ”says Hecht. The members of his family, especially his wife, are absolutely sure of the relative's innocence and are looking forward to when he can be released on parole.

Edward Spreutzer was sentenced to death, but the sentence was replaced at the last minute by life imprisonment by Gov. George Ryan, who commuted all death sentences in Illinois in 2003. But Andrew Kokoraleys could not avoid retribution and in the year 1999 was executed by lethal injection. It was the only death penalty during the administration of Governor Ryan. Andrew Kokoraleys also became the last prisoner executed in Illinois. Through 12 years after, Governor Pat Quinn will sign a law abolishing the state's death penalty.

The Chicago Orthodox Church tried to soften the sentence for Andrew, but to no avail. Dimitrios Kantsavelos, then Chancellor of the Greek Orthodox Diocese of Chicago, became an activist in the fight against the death penalty and subsequently lobbied for its abolition in the state.

During the first trial of Thomas Cochuraleys, a jury was presented to the jury, in which he confessed to the murder of Lorraine Borowski and Linda Sutton. But at the trial, Kokoraleys said that he had invented all this under the pressure of the investigation. Nevertheless, he was sentenced to life imprisonment.

Later, he, together with a lawyer, filed an appeal on the basis of a legal error made during the trial. After some time, in July 1987, Thomas changed his defense strategy and again confessed to the murder of Lorraine Borowski in exchange for a 70-year jail sentence. Such a deal with the investigation implied imprisonment, in which every day the prisoner is assessed for his behavior. Depending on the assessment, the prisoner has the right to parole after half of the term.

35 years from the day the sentence came into force, came 30 September 2017. After the release of Kokoraleys within three years should be under the supervision of the police. September 30 2020 will be the last day of this period, and Thomas Kokoraleys will be completely free.

Shadow of the ripper

On the alleged release of one of the gang of "Chicago Rippers" newspapers notified the public in August 2017. Naturally, a storm of indignation and indignation of the relatives of the dead and injured followed. Family members of Lorraine Borowski launched an online petition and collected more than 22 thousands of signatures, appealed to the authorities and the media to prevent the release of Kokoraleys.

Elmhurst police chief Michael Ruth stated: “I fear that he may walk again in the streets freely. I would feel much more comfortable if I knew that he would remain in prison. I feel that his release is a danger to society. "

In September 2017, the parole of Kokoraleys was postponed to the end of March of 2019, as he could not find a place to stay that would meet the requirements of his parole. Thomas's elder brother, Greg Kokoraleys, refused to accept his brother, citing the fact that he was disabled and huddled in a small apartment.

In an interview with The Tribune, he stressed that neither he nor other members of his family would live with Thomas. Also in an interview, Greg noted that his other brother, Andrew, had again accepted the Orthodox faith before being executed. “We will meet again in heaven,” said Greg Kokoraleys.

From September 2017 to now, Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan and Dupage County Attorney Robert Berlin are trying to use the last loophole in law to leave Thomas behind bars. According to the law, the authorities can indefinitely detain a person who has committed sexual crimes and is suffering from a mental disorder. The presence of these two conditions means the potential danger of the prisoner to the public in the event of his release. However, no mental abnormalities in Thomas could not be found.

The news of the imminent release of Cochuraleys is increasingly worrying the public. Relatives of the killed girls are trying to warn the Chicago community of the impending threat. “We don’t want him to hurt anyone,” says Mark Borowski. - Everyone should know that he is like a firework. He may disappear at any time, and by the time someone finds out where he is, it will be too late. We have exhausted every opportunity to try to keep him in prison. We no longer have the strength to do anything to prevent it. Now it's just a game: sit, wait and watch the game. I do not know what he is going to do ... But he must be unhappy every day of his life. "

“In the end, he will just be released from prison - without an anklet bracelet, without an parole officer, nothing. This is the worst nightmare you can imagine, ”said Liz Suriano gloomily, the best friend of the murdered“ gutters ”Borowski.
