The torture, sexual assault, and murder of 10 year old Paula McCormick is one of Madison's most brutal crimes. McCormick was walking home from Lincoln Elementary, where
she was in the third grade, when Roger Lange offered her $1 for 5 minutes of babysitting. Lange then kidnapped and killed her, her body was found two days later.
When questioned about Paula's disappearance Lange denied he was responsible but said he was psychic and had a vision that her body would be found bound & gagged in a box
in a rented warehouse, exactly as she was found. Lange would plead insanity but was convicted.
