On August 3, 1907, the streets of St. Louis were abuzz with news of a brazen crime: L.B. Langan, a storage company owner, had vandalized his own business. Langan’s company, L.B. Langan Co. Storage, was located on Main Street, and the culprit, allegedly Langan himself, had trashed the premises, causing significant damage. The motive behind the vandalism remains unclear, but sources close to the investigation suggest a dispute with a rival business owner, Kinloch Contra, may have been the catalyst.
