Whole Meeting Room

Join us to discuss all things true crime. This month, learn about the disappearance of Molly Zelko, a journalist in Joliet who went mysteriously missing on September 26, 1957.

Molly Zelko was the crusading editor and publisher of the Spectator, a newspaper devoted to battling local gangsters operating slot machines and other rackets in Joliet, Illinois. In the late night hours of September 25, 1957 she vanished, with only her shoes and signs of a struggle left as evidence that something sinister had likely happened to her. Presented by Greg Peerbolte, executive director of the Joliet Area Historical Museum, and retired newspaperman Lonny Cain.
