Description

This auction is for a painting by alleged Chicago Ripper ringleader Robin Gecht. Between 1981 and 1982, Robin Gecht, with accomplices Edward Spreitzer, and brothers Andrew and Thomas Kokoraleis, abducted, tortured, raped and murdered multiple women. Authorities have identified 18 victims linked to the Chicago Rippers. The case had Satanic overtones, cannibalism, and necrophilia. Despite prosecutor's best attempts, Robin Gecht was never convicted of murder. He was convicted on rape and mutilation charges in relation to a teenage prostitute, who survived and lead to the groups arrest. He was sentenced to 120 years in prison. He maintains his innocence. Andrew Kokoraleis was executed on 3/16/1999. Edward Spreitzer was sentenced to death, which would be commuted to life imprisonment. Thomas Kokoraleis, who cut a deal with prosecutors that ultimately got his own bother executed, was paroled on 3/29/2019.

ITEM DESCRIPTION: The painting measures 9"×12", done on heavy art paper, dated 2017, and is signed, "R. Gecht." The painting was mailed flat, so there are no creases or folds. The bottom corner there is a little dinged but is not torn. That slight blemish can easily be concealed in a frame. Message me with any questions you might have. Thanks for having a look-see.
