Saint Valentine's Day Massacre & Valentine’s Day Necrophilia - Jodine Serrin

Saint Valentine's Day Massacre

On February 14, 1929, Frank Gusenberg was stabilized in the hospital. He sustained 14 gunshot wounds and was alive just enough to have police question him as to how this happened and whom it was that had shot him. He'd reply "No one shot me" and died three hours later. Gusenberg was the last victim of Chicago’s most highly orchestrated mob hit, which would come to be known as the St. Valentine’s Day Massacre.

On the streets of Chicago gang warfare ruled during the late 1920s. Head gangster Al Capone wanted complete control and did everything in his power by eliminating his rivals. From illegal trades of bootlegging, gambling and prostitution mobster rules were rash with violence and often had deadly outcomes. Capone dubbed “Public Enemy No. 1” had become the country’s most notorious gangster. Capone’s longtime enemy, Irish gangster George “Bugs” Moran was a career criminal who ran the North Side gang in Chicago during the bootlegging era of the 1920s.

With the movie finishing around 10pm the Serrin’s couldn’t shake the feeling that something was wrong. It was rare to not hear from their daughter Jodine (or Jodine) Serrin everyday and the last they had heard from her was the night before. With no answer from the phone and concern for her well being, the Serrin’s decided to make a stop at her condo to check on her.

Jodine was born in 1968 and grew up in Walton Hills, Oh. Her family would move after she graduated from high school in 1986 to Carlsbad, CA. Even with growing up and having a good upbringing Jodine needed her family’s support regularly due to her mental disabilities.

According to her family Jodine was a kind person and volunteered at her church and the Humane Society. She was considered friendly and trusting and they have been the demise to her tragedy.
