Officer to be executed [PHOTO/VIDEO] for Maria Ridulph murder in 1957? Jack McCullough, who went on to a career as a cop after killing
7-year-old Maria Ridulph in Illinois in 1957, was sentenced Monday to
life in prison.
Before he was sentenced in a Sycamore courtroom,
McCullough, now 73, denied he was responsible for the stabbing death of
the young girl, who had been his neighbor in Sycamore 55 years ago when
his name was John Tessier, the Chicago Sun-Times reported.
"I did not, I did not kill Maria Ridulph. I did not," he said, turning to face the gallery where two of Ridulph's siblings sat. Go here for more including photos and video.
