Chicago police find killer in 65-year-old cold case murder of little girl — one of their own

The cold case murder of an 8-year-old Chicago girl that bedeviled investigators for 65 years has been solved — and the man tied to the killing was a homicide detective for the city’s police department.
The murder of Gloria Kowalewicz, who was abducted Nov. 12, 1960, as she was walking to church on the South Side of Chicago, sparked a citywide manhunt that went on for months, during which thousands of people were questioned and hundreds of leads were looked into.
