Death of Maria Ridulph
Maria Elizabeth Ridulph was an American girl who was kidnapped on a street corner in Sycamore, Illinois, on December 3, 1957. She was seven years old at the time.〔 Her body was discovered lying in a field five months later.〔
The case went cold for 54 years until Jack McCullough, formerly John Tessier, was arrested in July 2011.〔 McCullough was charged with first-degree murder, kidnapping, and abduction of the child. He was found guilty on all three counts, and is serving a life sentence at the Menard Correctional Center in Chester, Illinois. It is believed that the case is the oldest unsolved murder that resulted in an arrest and conviction in the United States.〔
==Background==
Maria Ridulph was born on March 12, 1950, to Michael and Frances Ivy Ridulph in Sycamore, Illinois. She was the youngest of four children; two older sisters, Patricia (born 1941) and Kay (born 1942); one brother, Charles (born 1946). Although many residents lived or worked on farms in the area, her father, Michael, worked at one of the few factories in Sycamore and her mother, Frances, was a homemaker. At the time of abduction, Maria was a second grader with brown hair and brown eyes. She was 44 inches tall, weighed 53 pounds, was an honor student, and received awards for perfect attendance in Sunday school at Evangelical Lutheran Church of St. John.
According to her mother, Maria was high-strung. "My daughter was a nervous girl and if she got in any trouble would become hysterical." Frances said in a 1957 interview shortly after Maria's abduction. "Someone would probably have to kill her to keep her quiet. I am the only one who could calm her down." Maria was also described as a "screamer" and afraid of the dark. Her best friend was Kathy Sigman, who lived on the same street as her.
