McCullough murder trial set for September
SYCAMORE – Almost one year after he was arrested, the man charged in the 1957 killing of a Sycamore girl was given a September trial date.
Jack D. McCullough, 72, of Seattle, is charged with kidnapping and killing 7-year-old Maria Ridulph, who was abducted from her Sycamore neighborhood Dec. 3, 1957. Her remains were found five months later in rural Jo Daviess County.
After a bench trial, he was acquitted in April of charges of rape and indecent liberties with a child in a different case.
