...Times virtually opened a Summerdale St. bureau. Reporters were on hand around the clock to file accounts of how it all looked--and smelled. On December 29, one of the paper's top columnists, Roger Simon, landed an exclusive interview with Dr. Robert Stein, the talkative medical examiner who by week's end was practically a household name in Chicago. Stein, who supervised the excavations, posed on the front page before a stack of sheet-covered bodies in Crypt One of the Cook County morgue...
