| Video Discription | TRUE CRIME: The Oldest “Solved” Cold Case and How It Went Unsolved Again https://www.mysteryconfidential.com/2021/02/true-crime-oldest-solved-cold-case-and.html MARIA RIDULPH It was December 3rd, 1957 when seven-year-old Maria Ridulph went missing on a street corner in Sycamore, Illinois and five months later Maria’s remains were found 100 miles from Sycamore in Woodbine, Illinois. It wouldn’t be until more than 50 years later that the case had what was initially thought of as closure — this turned out to be false closure. The case was seemingly solved in September 2012 when the police would convict a murderer for the abduction and murder of Maria. This would then be overturned in March 2016 and Maria’s neighbor Jack McCullough would be declared an innocent man in April 2017. To date the murder remains unsolved and the mystery of Maria Ridulph continues to baffle the Chicago area… It will more than likely forever be a cold case. A Piggyback Ride Seven-year old Maria Ridulph was playing with best-friend Kathy on the first snowfall of the year; when a mysterious man offered Maria a piggyback ride… Maria’s friend Kathy was the last to see Maria Ridulph alive and the last she saw of Maria was a strange man hoisting her on his back and trotting off down the street. Kathy had gone inside to get some gloves to fight against the harsh cold and when she came back outside on the street, both the man and Maria were gone. Kathy afterwards went to the Ridulph house to tell them that Maria was missing. Initially the family thought that Maria was hiding and sent Maria’s older brother Charles out to search for her. It was an hour later that the Ridulph family realized that something was up, and the police were notified beginning a police search and the FBI being called in. Soon, it seemed like the whole of Illinois was searching for the missing seven-year old. And while Kathy was elated some 54 years later at the news that the man was finally apprehended, she must now continue with the inner torment that she watched someone in plain sight “take away my best friend”. At the time of the abduction the sun was setting, and it was near dark as the two girls were playing “duck the cars.” Investigators pin this time down as around 6.30 pm. “JOHNNY” SUSPECT: John Tessier in circa 1955 The man was called “Johnny” (or so he told the little girls). According to Kathy; “Johnny” was 24 and not married. Kathy stated that “Johnny” had blonde hair, bad teeth and a high-pitched voice. John Tessier in circa 1955 Going back to a time before Amber alerts and faces on the back of milk carts, the search for Maria had even caught the attention of FBI Chief J Edgar Hoover, USA President Eisenhower and garnered national media attention — somewhat unprecedented in those days for a missing child (at least in comparison to today). There were various public appeals from the Ridulph family and widespread investigations across Illinois which including all known sex offenders, transients and another man that had previously offered piggyback rides to children. Maria was later found by mushroom-picking tourists almost half a year after that fateful piggyback ride; Maria was found wearing a shirt, undershirt and socks. At this point Maria was decomposed and skeletal. Maria had to be identified by her parents because of her familiar brown-socks. It was not until 50 years later that an autopsy could determine the cause of death as being that of Maria being stabbed in the throat various times. John Tessier was at the top of the suspect list from the very beginning of Maria’s disappearance. |
