Bird collection once owned by notorious killer Nathan Leopold housed at Elgin museum and back on display
Briefly

When author Erik Rebain discusses his book, "Arrested Adolescence: The Secret Life of Nathan Leopold," at the Elgin Public Museum Wednesday night, it will be against the backdrop of something once very personal to the notorious child killer.A new display features 16 taxidermy birds given to the museum by amateur ornithologist Leopold, donated either before he and fellow Chicagoan Richard Loeb made international headlines for the 1924 murder of 14-year-old Bobby Franks or while he was in prison.
