Magic and Murder at the Candy Factory: The Story of Anna Sulaby .
In Chicago during the Great Depression, one of the few treats that people could afford was "penny candy." As a result, the National Candy Company was not only afloat, but they were also able to afford to hire.
Like many companies, National employed children for manual labor. An arrangement was made with a local orphanage to hire some girls to work in the factory. One of these girls was Anna Sula. On the morning of April 20, 1932, Anna Sula was found brutally murdered in the basement of the factory.
