"Leopold and Loeb puts too much attention on the killers.-- 200.148.9.103 ( talk) 17:17, 26 November 2020 (UTC)
I carefully read this article years ago and thought I was well informed by the case. Today though, I was blindsided by someone telling me Leopold and Loeb were gay. After doing a quick DuckDuckGo search, it seems that this information is plastered everywhere! Yet it is mentioned nowhere in the article except for one brief mention in the popular culture section at the very bottom in a description of Never the Sinner, John Logan's 1988 play, where "sexual relationship" is mentioned. Shame on me for relying on wikipedia. Why isn't this information in the article? As it is relevant for society's memory of this topic. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:100D:B01D:6A82:8DF:64C4:5DD8:C95 ( talk) 05:51, 19 December 2020 (UTC)

Dr. Healy elaborated on this compact between the boys: "Leopold was to have the privilege of inserting his penis between Loebs' legs at special dates. At one time it was to be three times in two months if they continued their criminalistic activities together."https://web.archive.org/web/20140403053826/http://www.crimelibrary.com/notorious_murders/famous/loeb/5g.html
In the same article I quoted from above. 88.17.128.143 ( talk) 01:42, 14 December 2021 (UTC)
Is the information in the sentence
"The intricate plan stalled almost immediately when a nervous family member forgot the address of the store where he was supposed to receive the next set of directions"
linked to the information in the sentence
"Loeb helped a couple reporter friends of his find the drug store he and Leopold had tried to send Jacob Franks to"
? Was Jacob Franks the "nervous family member"? Was the store, where the next directions were to be received, a "drug store"? If so, it should be stated accordingly in the first sentence above, otherwise it's kind of obscure what drug store Loeb helped to find in the latter sentence.
