Looking back now, the St. Valentine’s Day Massacre seems like business as usual in Prohibition era Chicago but in 1929, a lot of people were really pissed that such a thing could happen. Sure, there had been a lot of murders in the city during the last decade, but not seven guys all at once, machine-gunned in cold blood in a garage.
The police believed they’d figured out how the massacre had occurred, but there was a lot of debate about who was involved – debate that continues today.
Police officers, crime experts, historians, gangster buffs, writers, know-it-alls, and the 900 guys who all tell you that their grandpa used to be a driver for Al Capone all have their favorite suspects when it comes to the St. Valentine’s Day Massacre. Some of them make sense, some of them don’t. Some of them are stupid, while others are just to sell a book or are just to get attention. Some suspects seem believable, but if you count them all, they add up to more than the number of actual killers.
So, take it all with a grain of salt but we’re going to take a look at some of the unusual – and sometimes unlikely – suspects in the St. Valentines Day Massacre.
