September 28, 1929: Unidentified Perp in Chicago

On September 28, 1929, 29-year-old Barbara Auer died in Chicago from complications of an illegal abortion performed at an unknown place, according to the Homicide in Chicago Interactive Database. 

According to Illinois death records, Barbara was a married woman.

The person or persons responsible were never identified or prosecuted, so we can't know if she availed herself of one of the plethora of physicians and midwives practicing abortion in Chicago at that time.
