Episode Transcript

(00:00):
This episode deals with the scenes ofa graphic nature and depictions of child murder.
Listener, discretion is advice. It'sa clear reminder that something's out of
your control in no matter what youdo or where you live. You know,
why would you pick that? Wethink the way the body was situated

(00:24):
that whoever bladed it there, somebodywanted it. That body found. Hosted
by Emi G. Thompson and EileenMcFarlane, This is the shattered window.

(00:57):
For five long emotional days, thecommunity rallied together on a desperate attempt to
find Jacqueline. They searched mile aftermile, handing out flier after flier in
question, neighbor after neighbor. Nobodywitnessed her abduction. Nobody saw or heard
anything unto the ordinary. Nothing inthe house was in disarray. There were

(01:19):
no clues left behind. It seemedas though Jackelin had been snatched up from
her bed by an unseen force.Without a morsel of evidence left behind,
investigators come the area again and again, but failed to come up with any
evidence as to where Jacqueline could be. The search had been concentrated in and

(01:42):
around one hundred and forty eighth Placeand the surrounding Woodland areas, but the
investigation was about to head six milesnortheast to Blue Island. Blue Island is
one of the oldest communities in CookCounty. Immigrants were among the first to
settle in the northern Chicago town,and it continued to be a melting pot
of ethnicities throughout the twentieth and twentyfirst century. At approximately five forty five

(02:10):
pm on the fourteenth of September nineteeneighty eight, Michael Chapman was rolling into
a parking space in the rear parkinglaw of the Islander apartments at one nine
one two Canal Street, Blue Island, where he was a resident. Located
at the back of this parking lawwas a small wooded area looking over Calumet

(02:32):
Canal, which links the region ofSouth Chicago, Illinois, to Gary,
Indiana. Mister Chapman parked his carnear the dumpsters. As he and his
wife were exiting the car, theyimmediately noticed a putrid smell radiating in the
cool autumnair. Mister Chapman said thathe couldn't identify the smell, but he

(02:55):
knew that it wasn't coming from thenearby dumpster. As he glanced over towards
the source of the smell would be. He pulled back a bush to see
what it was. Here he sawsomething wrapped in a covering among the tall
weeds behind the dumpsters. As hegot closer, he saw what was ahead

(03:16):
and an arm and ran inside tocall the Blue Island Police officers. The
scene catered the heavily decomposed body ofa small girl approximately twelve feet from the
edge of the parking lot and twohundred yards from the bank of the canal.
We spoke to Joseph Cosman about thatday and me and my partner,

(03:42):
Doug Holdling, we were detectives andat the time we were actually separated.
He was in one location. Iwas in another location when the radio call
came out of a body found behindhim the Broadway apartment. So we both
had it there right away, andwe both had it there, got there
about the same time. We kindof thought it was Jacqueline to Wallby right
away. It was such a highprofile case, and we did know that

(04:08):
she had that her bedspread was withher, and that's the first The body
was unrecognizable, a lot of decaywas but because of the bedspread, we
thought right away it was her,you know, I remember her panties were
found to the side. There wasa rope wrapped around her, the bedspread.

(04:31):
We did our job as detectives wasthe security scene at that point.
We then notified Blue Island or Midlothiansaying hey, we think we have your
body. We waited for them tocome. There was a small task force
at that time consisting of the StatePolice and Midlothian. They came and then

(04:55):
requested the only State Police crime SceneServices. Now that took a while to
come because there's only like several stationsthroughout the state and they respond wherever their
area is. So by the timeyou call, sometimes they take twenty minutes,
sometimes take an hour, you know, And then they come and they're
the professionals in recovering evidence. TheCSIS the officers radio Blue Island Police Chief

(05:21):
Paul Greaves and alerted them that abody had been found. When of their
officers arrived at the scene. Oneof the apartment occuments said that a female
police officer was so overcome when amotion the sight of the little body.
She began to cry. You know, plus we're you know, you got
Midlothian and you got Robbins. Youhave other towns in between were Blue Island,

(05:44):
and you know, why would youpick that. We think the way
the body was situated that whoever laidit there, because it was looked like
it was placed rather than just dumped, and we think that somebody wanted the
body found. Blue Island Police ChiefPaul Greaves made a statement to the press

(06:04):
and said that decomposed body was thatof a white female who appeared to be
nine to ten years old. Thefoul smell that had been lurking around the
apartment block for several days was thesmell of human decomposition. I smelled it
yesterday and I smelled it today.It was a dead smell, said Patrick
Allen, another occupant of the Riversideapartment block. While the search for Jackman

(06:27):
had been extensive, the area wherethe body was discovered had not been searched.
As darkness fell onto the apartment block, police searched the area armed with
flashlights while concerned citizens looked on andreporters and photographers desperately tried to get a
glimpse of something for their next headline. Because of the flurry of the commotion,

(06:49):
Blue Island Police Chief Paul Greaves orderedthat the small body be covered with
a sheet. By the time thecrime scene investigator got there, it started
to show up. And then itturns into a circus, you know,
because now everyone's coming out of theapartment to see what's the media is there
for. We had. The goodthing is we had time to court and

(07:12):
set up the designated area and cordingthem off further back, not allow them
to be right on top of ourcrime scene. It was a very high
profile case from that Saturday on.It was on the news every day.
Case still going out about the missingJacqueline. And she was just such a
pretty little girl. You know.They'd show that picture. It just tore

(07:33):
your hearts out that this little thingwas missing. And I think it was
more of grief, you know.The community was so sad that this poor
little girl had been murdered and shewas found in our town. I don't
think anyone had panics about, ohthere's a murderer news. I don't know

(07:55):
why, but it just seemed tome it was more of a grief.
The task force requested hidden ball whenthe crime scene technician who'd been processing through
the Wallaby House to come to thescene Baldwin photographed the area. The verge
of the asphalt bordered by weeds,leading to a wooded area behind the dumpsters

(08:16):
at the back of the Islander apartmentblocks. It was starting to get dark
and the light was fading. Thesmall body was wrapped in a multicolored quilt.
It was positioned parallel to the parkinglot. The head was pointing east
and the feet were towards the west. The body was uncovered from the upper

(08:37):
torso up. A rope was wrappedaround the deceded sneck. The small body
was heavily decomposed. The area washeavily infestivate flies. The combined presence of
the dumpsters, the trees, theweeds, the canal, and a corpse
that had been wrapped in a quiltin humid weather. The decomposition had been

(09:01):
accelerated by maggots and heat. Therewere no visible shoeprints leading from the car
park to the body. The areabehind the body was not checked for footprints.
On the ground. About a footaway from the victim's feet were a
pair of white cotton underwear. Baldwincarefully placed the underwear into an evidence bag

(09:22):
and removed it from the scene.To conduct testing in the hopes that DNA
from the suspect would be retrieved.While it could not be medically determined whether
Jacklin had been suctually assaulted, thefact that her underwear had been removed is
indicative that she possibly was. Thesmall body was then lifted into an ambulance

(09:43):
and transported to Saint Francis Hospital onBlue Island before being taken to the Cook
County Medical Examiner's office for identification andfor her cause of death to be determined.
While the body had not yet beenidentified, it was noted that it
been wrapped in a purple and whiteblanket and dressed in matching pajamas that looked

(10:05):
like the blanket and pajamas the Jacquelin'sparents had described. Police Captain John Bitten
made a comment to the Daily Chroniclenewspaper that they were sure that the body
was thought of Jacqueline. The searchfor evidence continued. Of the Islander apartments,

(10:26):
it's like I said, it's avery large apartment complex. There's a
fire station right there. It's ithad changed. A word had been at
one time predominantly Caucasian. It hadchanged and we were starting to have like

(10:50):
drug dealings and things like that goingon in the apartments changed mostly African American.
But I mean it's not like wewere having shootings there or any type
like it was all out wards outthere. It was nothing like that.
It wasn't like a housing project.You know. There was still a lot
of good people in there. Soyou have a series of apartments, it's

(11:13):
a pretty big complex. You havea parking lot that's in the rear of
the complex. Parking lots probably oh, i'd say forty fifty feet wide because
it's you could have cars parked rightnext to the right behind the apartments,
you have a space, and thenthere's cars parked along the edge, which

(11:35):
would be called a prairie. Therewere dumpsters back there, and then there's
maybe one hundred yards and then there'sthe canal. Now you get a little
into the past the dumpsters, itgets pretty thick and wooded, but the
body was maybe five to ten feetjust basically behind the dumpsters. Midlothian police

(12:01):
were assisted by Blue Island Police,Cresswell Police, Dicksmore Police, the FBI
and the Illinois State Police. Investigatorswere armed with a sieve and metal trials.
As they come through the litter investedarea where Jacklin's body had been disposed
of. They've been searching for anysemblance of evidence or Jacklin's gold cross earrings

(12:22):
that she'd been weiring when she vanished. The scene was covered with a tent.
After an hour and ten minutes,it will be the following morning before
the crime scene technicians would have completedprocessing the scene. We were we got
a dog, Holman and myself gotinvited to the task force. From that
point on, we sat down,we had a big meeting. We have

(12:45):
there's Blue Island as a fire department. It's maybe fifty yards from where the
body was located. So we hada meeting in the fire department. We
were brought up to speed on theinvestigation and then we were reactively involved with
From that point at police canvassed thearea surrounding the apartments and inquired a residence

(13:07):
as to whether they had seen orheard anything out of the ordinary over the
past couple of days. They additionallypoured through application records from the Lander apartments
to try and determine if there wereany kind of connections between the residents there
and Jacqueline or any member of herfamily. According to five residents, they
had seen unfamiliar people or vehicles inthe vicinity of where Jacqueline's body had been

(13:30):
discovered. However, none of thedescriptions matched either Cynthia or David or their
vehicles. By the next morning,September fifteenth, the body had been identified
the idental records as Jacqueline to Wallaby. It was initially believed from the appearance

(13:52):
of the body that she'd been brutallybludgeoned over the head, but the Cook
County Medical Examiner, doctor Robert Stein, reported that it had been caused by
advanced decomposition. The autopsy read,in part, the body is almost completely
covered with maggots, mostly in thehead and neck area. Further examination of

(14:15):
the head shows that it is almostcompletely disarticulated at the level of the third
cervical vertebrae. An X ray showedno presence of foreign bodies such as bullets,
and no broken bones. It wasimpossible to tell if there were any
bruises or ligature marks because of howdecomposed the body was. A length of
rope had been wrapped circumferentially around Jacqueline'sneck twice, leading the pathologists to mark

(14:41):
the cause of death as asphyxiation.There were no knots or nooses made in
the rope. It had been woundaround her neck and draped across the length
of her body, resting between herlegs. There was no evidence of head
trauma. The medical examiner could notdetermine with certainty whether jack And had been
sectually molested or not. The stateof decomposition made that impossible. While an

(15:05):
exact time of death could not bedetermined, Doctor Robert Steyne estimated that she
been dead for a number of daysand was most likely killed early Saturday morning,
shortly after she disappeared. Hayden Ballwinattended the autopsy and collected samples for
the crime lab. These included thenight game Jacqueline had been wearing, the

(15:26):
bedspread, the rope, head,hair recovered from the body during the autopsy,
hair recovered from the rope during theautopsy, Jacklin's fingernail clippings, swabs,
and palm prints. We didn't evenknow the true cause of death.
We thought it was listened as strangulationbecause the rope, but the body was

(15:48):
so decomposed. There's a bone inthe throat that's usually broken in a strangulation
case. This wasn't, but itwas because of a position of the rope.

(17:29):
gathered in the street. They spokenharsh tones about the Grizzly discovery. Doris
Christiansen, whose son Eric was asecond group classmate of Jacqueline, wept as
she recollected the Jacqueline was the frankliestand sweetest little girl that she had ever
met. News of the Grizzly Discoveryswept through Midlothian like a tidal wave.

(17:53):
Children that could once be spotted playingin their front yards were not noticeably absent.
Dren that either walk to school orgot the school bus were now driven
to and from school by their concernedparents. Children weren't even allowed to attend
sleepovers. Fear that a child killerwas lurking among Midlothian citizens quivered in the

(18:17):
air, and everybody feared that theirchild would become the next Jacqueline d Wallaby.
According to one local woman named LeelaRitz, a number of children had
trouble falling asleep at night and questionedtheir parents whether they would be kidnapped as
well, while one child reportedly sleptwith a stick by the fear of being

(18:38):
snatched. Ralph Machick randover to tellhim that Jacqueline's cause of death was strangulation,
wanting to spare Cynthia any further pain. If it decided, he would
keep this information to himself. Extracare was taken at Central Park School,
where Jacqueline was a student. Letterswere sent out to parents enrolled in Midlothian

(19:03):
School District one forty three informing themof the supper services and conseling that would
be available to all students and parentson Junior High class wrote essays about how
the incident had made them feel.A number of teachers had to dispel rumors
that were circulating and correct false informationthat children had heard. Meanwhile, a

(19:26):
twenty four hour hotline was implemented forany parents who felt as though they where
their child needed help in coping withtheir emotions. In fact, community conseling
services in Midlothian offered up preservices overthe weekend. Catherine, a childhood friend
of Jacqueline, recalled what it waslike after they heard the news. I

(19:51):
didn't go to the funeral. Idid not I was not exposed to the
media. My parents were very protective. We as kids the school. We
planted a tree for her. Asit was planted, we all went around
the tree the hole. It wasjust in the beginning of second grade.

(20:11):
We all our music teacher wrote asong. I think he wrote it.
It might be a song that's outthere. I don't know. It's called
Everybody's Got to Grow. And weall sang it holding hands around the tree
when it was planted. And Iwonder if it's still there at our elementary
school. It was there for along time. If it's not there any

(20:33):
longer. It became a large tree. So I don't remember any kind of
like security changes or you know,at that young age, we were just
so matter of fact, and Iremember crying and remember being sad. I
remember being scared at night, thinkingit can happen. So when she did

(20:55):
pass away, it was hard forus to understand. We were sad and
confused. My parents, i'd say, protected me from a lot of the
information. We knew she was takenand that she wasn't alive, we didn't
know the details. As I aged, I looked into her details of her

(21:18):
death, and I read that bookGone in the Night in my early twenties
and revisited it not too long after, so it was quite quite sad.
It's so bizarre thinking that I ama parent of children at that age now

(21:45):
and I've never really kind of putthat together, and it's it makes us
all more surreal. How many timeshave you, as a mom, moved
your child from the couch to theirbedroom so if they're not making any sound,
very easily, somebody can walk inand out. I would definitely say

(22:06):
it's molded me as a mother insome ways, like it has affected,
you know, I think of that. I make sure my kids, you
know, windows are locked or youknow, I prefer them to be in
a bedroom that's not on the firstfloor. Like it is a reality.

(22:27):
I don't let it take over andwhatever. But it's a clear reminder that
some things are out of your control, no matter what you do or where
you live. I think about herall the time. D of It's twin
sister, Rose, was recommended adefense attorney by a cult that he knew,
Ralph Magic. While David was stillbeing interrogated on the day the jocolin's

(22:49):
body was flawed, Rose arranged forMagic to represent him. Rose's husband,
Joan, and David's mother told himthat night that he needed a lawyer because
the police were trying to blame him. David agreed en route to Mechick's office,
located in downtown Chicago. The nextmorning, Cynthia had become so overcome

(23:14):
by her emotions that the car neededto be pulled over several times for her
to vomit. David consulted with RalphMetchick while Cynthia spoke with another lawyer at
the firm, Laurence Hyman. Mechickhad advised them to hire separate lawyers in
case Cynthia was arrested. They werequoted between thirty thousand to forty thousand dollars

(23:37):
plus expenses for the representation, anda six thousand dollars retainer would be needed
in two days time. The Duallabiesnever had any experience with defense attorneys before,
so they were not in the rightstate of mind to argue, so
they agreed to hire Megic and Timon. Before they left, Ralph Mechick told

(23:59):
them that he could relate to theirpredicament. He compared it to his talks
problem and claimed that he too hadbeen set up. He told David that
he could expect to be arrested Followingthe identification of the body an increased pressure
from the police, both Cynthia andDavid hired attorneys who reportedly advised them not

(24:21):
to answer any more questions from investigators. Family felt that they had told investigators
everything that they knew and could elaborateno further unless any new evidence was to
arise. They had given blood andurine samples and had given permission to take
whatever family medical records they may haverequired. They had additionally granted investigators access

(24:45):
to their home for the entire fivedays that Jacqueline was missing. The Fifth
Amendment allows American citizens to decline toanswer any questions they could potentially incriminate them.
When the Dualla were well within theirrights to plead the Fifth less than
one week ago. Life was goodfor the Duallaby family. They worked together

(25:08):
as a team to provide the bestlife possible for their children, and now
their daughter was dead and they hadfallen under an unwarranted cloud of suspicion and
were seeking legal help. David latersaid, the night my daughter was found,
I was under a third degree interrogation. I had no idea until eight

(25:29):
o'clock that night that my daughter wasfound dead and it was on the five
o'clock news. I'm the last personin Chicago to find out about Jacqueline,
and they'd given me a promise thatI would be the first to know.
It's no wonder I got an attorney. Am I supposed to trust them?
After that? Unable to come upwith any other suspects, please focus their

(25:52):
attention on Cynthia and David as leadsuspects in their daughter's murder. A spokesman
for the Illinois Children and Family ServicesDepartment said that the family had absolutely no
record of child abuse incidents, butnevertheless, investigators considered them pleading the Fifth
Amendment as suspicious. In fact,just days after Jacqueline's body was discovered,

(26:19):
investigators started to claim to local newspapersthat Cynthia and David we're hampering the investigation.
Ralph Magic was quick to say thatthe family were in mourning within the
space of one day, the bodyof their daughter who being discovered, and
they were now being made out tobe uncooperative in the search for her killer

(26:41):
and even being looked at through suspiciouseyes. Metick said, all we know
is the family is in mourning andthey want the killer caught. The duallabies
barely had the chance to grieve fortheir daughter before they had to ensure they
had legal aid and had to applytheir daughter's funeral. The funeral home in

(27:03):
charge of Jacqueline's funeral was part ownedby the Mayor of Blue Island, Donald
E. Pulukin, who happened tobe a friend of Chief Graves. It
was the mayor who secured Grave's positionas chief after he was elected. Cynthia
wanted to be with Jacqueline at thefuneral home, but the funeral director said

(27:25):
that it should be a closed casketbecause of the condition of Jacqueline's body.
Cynthia's mother, Mary, had beentasked with selecting items to be buried with
Jacqueline in her coffin. She pickedout some miny moist jewelry that Jacqueline had
picked out herself and purchased with herown pocket money, several pictures of the

(27:47):
family at all that Jacqueline had keptsince she was a toddler, and Purry
Furry, which was Jacqueline's favorite terry, a stuffed cap. They wanted Jacqueline
to wear her favorite rats Christmas dressshe had given Michelle the night she was
taken Very same dress Jacqueline had wornto the father daughter danced the year beforehand,

(28:11):
but he was not in the conditionto be dressed, but Mary sent
the dress and some red and whitetights to be buried with her. The
week was held on September sixteenth.Just a week earlier, the dawallabies had
kissed their daughter good night for thelast time, and now they were denied
the chance to say goodbye. Thatmorning, a phone call had been made

(28:34):
to the house threatening to kill David. Aring for his life, he dawned
a bulletproof vest beneath his shirt ashe carried his daughter's coffin to her final
resting place. The following day,over two hundred mourners gathered at Saint Christopher's
Church amid Lothian to bid farewell toJacqueline, who was carried into the church

(28:57):
in a dainty white casket. Outsideof the church, television cameras and photographers
were positioned on the sidewalks, hopingto catch a glimpse of Cynthia or David.
Pastor Daniel Breery conducted the eulogy andsaid, as we sit here,
each of us is troubled by thedeath of this little girl. We know

(29:21):
she is safe in God's hands,but we're still shocked. We've been made
numb. There really are no words, no answers. All we can do
is put our arms around each otherand know that we are not alone.
None of us has to worry aboutJacqueline, because where she has gone,
there is no pain. Cynthia hadwritten a letter to Jacqueline, which was

(29:44):
buried with her. It read,Dear Jacqueline, I knew when you grew
up you wanted to be a cheerleader. You wanted to be a mother and
be married. I loved you forthis. You were a great reader,
and you wrote your name and lettersbe I loved you because you always wanted
to wear a dress or skirt toschool. You were a beautiful roller skater

(30:07):
and bike rider. You were friendswith everybody, and I loved you for
that. You were a good hearted, sweet, loving, precious angel.
I liked it when you dressed upwith the dress clothes. Little Davy love
to pretend with you. You taughthim well. You will always know you
in his heart, and we willtell him more about you when he's old

(30:30):
enough to understand. David looked upto you, Jacqueline, and he always
will, Jacqueline, I wish youcould come to us and tell us you're
okay and see if I loved you. Were so sad when we couldn't find
you, and even sadder when youleft us for God. Our hearts cried
out to you. We want youto know that we will be with you

(30:52):
again in heaven, and we areno longer afraid to die. We know
you will be there for us withopen arms. Our hearts ache out of
love for you. Our hearts criedfor you every single day. I'm still
aching inside because I miss my littlegirl and want her back. So if

(31:15):
you can somehow give yourself back tome in any way like my dreams,
I will be a total peace inmy heart. I will do my best.
You're my angel. I know youlike that movie Date with an Angel.
You're that angel sent up to Godfor eternal peace. I love you

(31:37):
and miss you so very much whereits cannot express, I will never give
up on you, Jacqueline. I'msorry this happened to you. You will
still be a cheerleader and anything elseyou ever wanted to be in life.
In my heart, my love foryou just grows and grows. Love you,

(31:57):
Daddy, Mommy and Davy. Followingthe emotional service, Jacqueline was buried
in the historic Saint Mary's Cemetery inEvergreen Park. Her headstone reads, God
bless our precious Angel, Jacqueline isforever seven years old. Her grave is

(32:20):
surrounded by men and women who livedto a ribald age, lived to have
children and even grandchildren of their own. A number of the mourners who had
attended the funeral hadn't known Jacqueline orher family personally, but her death had
evoked deep feelings in people across thenation. One local, Kim Bouchima,

(32:42):
spoke with The South Pound Star andsaid, after you hear so much,
you kind of get to know theperson. The evening before Jacqueline was laid
to rest, investigators continued to canvassthe islander apartments. They had a printed
this questions to go through when theyspoke to residence and I asked about strange
cars in the area. Between theSeptember ninth and twelve, you know,

(33:07):
we did the interviews, We didthe campus of the apartments within the next
couple of days. I think thatFriday, it was a Friday when I
located Everett Man and Everett Man wasthe bus driver who was He was a
merried guy. He lived in theapartments. But he was coming home from
a date and he said he sawa blue Chevy. I don't know if

(33:34):
it was a Chevelle or a Maliboy. I think it was Ameliable, But
Everett Man says it was that Fridaynight. It was maybe two in the
morning, three in the morning.He said he saw it pulling out of
the parking lot. How do youknow it was Amellible or Chavell whatever it
was. How do you know itwas? What type of car was?
Well, I was in the army, and in the army, my sergeant

(33:55):
had the exact same car. Here'smy sergeants. We looked him up.
Yeah, back then, I didhave that kind of car. We showed
him. I showed him a photoarray because we had a couple made up.
As we're doing this canvas. Anyonewould have saw something. And he
says, you know, he pointsat David Dawabe and he says, you

(34:17):
know, the guy didn't see realgood, but he looked something like this.
Everett Mann claimed that he saw adark colored car and two am on
Saturday, September tenth, in thecar park near the middle dumpster, close
to where Jacklin would be found fourdays later, Man said he thought he

(34:39):
saw the driver's side profile and saidit seemed like the driver was a Caucasian
male with a large street nose.Now, the investigators suspicions were substantiated by
a potential witness to place Jacklin's fatherat the scene of the crime, or
so it seemed, because the bodyhad been found in Blue Island. Chief

(35:01):
Grieves with the automatic head of theinvestigation, but he submitted to McDivitt,
who would run the task force fromMidlothian, who Grieves on the team.
Before the casket was taken to thecemetery, Chief Grieves asked Mayor Pellaquin to
open it and check what the Dwallabieshad put inside. Jacquelin's favorite dress was

(35:23):
draped over her body, and shehad her Teddy family photos, letter and
jewelry, but nothing that would furtherthe police's investigation. Grieves said that he
didn't understand why Jacqueline's appearance were hesitantto speak with the police. He said,
I think if I were the Dwallabies, I'd be sitting outside the door

(35:45):
of the police station. I can'timagine anything you could do that would offend
me. I'd say, look,I understand that you consider me a suspect,
but I didn't do it. I'llcooperating any way I can, but
I want to find out who didthis. Thank you for listening to today's
