Carl Wanderer
Carl Otto Wanderer (June 26, 1895 - September 30, 1921) was a murderer famous for what became known as "The Case of the Ragged Stranger", wherein he murdered his wife Ruth and a "ragged stranger" in a bizarre plot so he could "return to the military." The case was cracked in part by famed Chicago-based reporter and future screenwriter Ben Hecht, of the ''Chicago Daily News'' and reporter and future playwright Charles MacArthur of the ''Chicago Examiner''.
== Early years ==
Wanderer was born the son of German immigrants in Chicago in 1895. Though he dropped out of school before he reached high school, Wanderer was a hard-worker and began saving up money. By his twenties he and his father were running a successful butcher's shop.
Wanderer enlisted in the Illinois Cavalry and served under John Pershing in the latter's Punitive Expedition against Pancho Villa in 1916. He served with distinction and became a lieutenant in the regular Army, seeing heavy action on the Western Front in World War I. He was heavily decorated and was considered one of America's most prestigious war heroes when he returned home to Illinois.
In late 1919, he married twenty-year-old Ruth Johnson, and the two moved in with Ruth's parents. Ruth became pregnant; reportedly, Wanderer became despondent upon hearing the news and became distant towards his family.
