The Mystery of the Ragged Stranger Podcast
The Mystery of the Ragged Stranger Podcast
In 1920, on a quiet street in Chicago’s Lincoln Square, Carl Wanderer and his wife Ruth, eight months pregnant, were robbed at gunpoint in the vestibule of their two-flat. Shots rang out in the tiny foyer and when the smoke cleared, Ruth and the alleged holdup man lay dying while Carl emerged unscathed. Headlines the next day hailed Wanderer a hero for avenging his wife’s death. Three weeks later he was in jail for murder. The alleged holdup man would come to be known as the Ragged Stranger and laid in the morgue for over a year, repeatedly misidentified. This is the true story.
The Mystery of the Ragged Stranger podcast is written by Michael Hendrychs and produced in partnership with ChicagoNow.
