His career had seen its share of twists and turns, from his time working undercover to thwart robberies on Chicago's L trains to his years as a homicide detective. He thought he had seen it all. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut on this day, he was at the records center to see the case file for the murder of John Hughes, who was seventeen years old when he was gunned down on Chicago's Southwest Side in 1976. The case's threads led everywhere: Police corruption. Hints of the Chicago Outfit. A crooked judge. Even the belief that the cover-up extended to \"hizzoner\" himself--legendary Chicago mayor Richard J. Daley. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA murder that had roiled the city and had been investigated for years had been reduced to a few reports and photographs.
