Chicago mystery prompts call for Pulitzer Prize
Estel Blevins disappeared after an unscheduled vacation in Chicago. A body found in the Chicago River was identified as Joseph Tallarico after FBI fingerprints. A man claiming to be Blevins’ brother-in-law ordered cremation, while police suspect the deceased may be Blevins himself amid large life insurance. Merrill Lynch stockbroker Blevins had vanished March 22. Police call the case bizarre and worthy of a Pulitzer.
