The tragic disappearance of Elsie Parobek remains one of Chicago's most haunting unsolved mysteries from the early twentieth century. On April 8th, 1911, four year old Elsie vanished from her Bohemian immigrant neighborhood while walking to visit her aunt on South Troy Street. What followed was one of the most extensive search operations Chicago had ever witnessed, involving dozens of detectives, dragnet operations across multiple counties, and intense public scrutiny. A month later, her body was discovered in the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal, thirty five miles from home. Despite exhaustive police investigations, witness testimonies, and forensic examinations by multiple physicians, her killer was never identified. This documentary explores the Victorian era investigative methods, the challenges faced by immigrant communities in early 1900s Chicago, and the mysterious artistic connection to reclusive outsider artist Henry Darger, whose obsession with Elsie's case emerged decades after his death. Join us as we examine the evidence, the theories, and the heartbreaking legacy of a child whose story captivated an entire city.
