Case Story |

Scoville Murders Business Partner and Former Lover |
|
| |
Raymond Scoville was convicted of murder in absentia on September 19, 1983 for the murder of his former business partner and lover, Colleen Racich.
Scoville is a post-60's Chicago hippie whose drug paraphernalia shop of the 70's expanded in the 80's to six record and videotape stores. Scoville was considered an "intellectual" and business man. As the editor of an underground newspaper in 1970, he penned an article called "How to Get a New Identity," a step-by-step guide for those on the run.
In 1974, Scoville began having an affair with a 14-year-old redhead named Colleen Racich. However, at the time, he was also involved with another redhead, Jill Clark. Soon after Scoville began his affair with Colleen, Jill was found shot. Despite conjecture that Scoville had a part in her death, it was ruled a suicide. However, it was determined that the gun used belonged to Scoville. |

Colleen Goes Into Business with Scoville |
|
| |
Beginning as a store clerk, Colleen eventually became a co-owner of Scoville's Third Ring Records, Sound Warehouse and Tobacco Road. Things went downhill when Colleen discovered that Scoville had not been making payments on bank loans or, for that matter, paying income tax. When Colleen became aware of the shady business, she took steps to end the partnership.
Colleen gathered together her friends, an off-duty police officer and her attorney to go into the store after it had closed, pack everything, inventory it and take it away for storage. With Scoville's most successful store effectively shut down, he felt his life was spinning out of control. |

Deadly Fued Begins |

The dispute turned bitter, and soon, Colleen and Scoville filed civil suits against each other. On August 3, 1982, Scoville asked Colleen over, telling her he wanted to settle their differences. The discussion was heated, and they argued over monetary issues. Scoville then took matters into his own hands and shot Colleen eight times, put her dead body in her car and abandoned it in a Chicago parking lot.
Police arrested Scoville on August 10, 1982. He gave a written confession to police, but his mother posted $50,000 bond. He went to trial on April 8, 1983, but then on April 12th, a motion to suppress his confession to Chicago police was turned down. The next day, Scoville didn't show up for court and hasn't been seen since. |
