Nathan F. Leopold Jr was a special baby from the start. He was born November 19th, 1904 on Michigan Avenue in Chicago, Illinois. He spoke his first words four months later. After Mimie left, a girl named Pauline Van den Bosch filled the vacancy. Pauline, a Christian, introduced Nathan to the Christian saints. Nathan, at five years of age, took a keen interest in the saints and set about categorizing saints and religions.He would have the chauffeur drive him to various churches in the neighborhood. At about this time he also became interested in the life of Christ and of crucifixes. The idea of nailing somebody to something was very appealing to me. Pauline only stayed on for six months. The third and final governess was an Alsatian woman named Mathilda Wantz. Nathan nicknamed her Sweetie. She only spoke German.
