Eddie Polec murder case

Uncommon card · No. 117601

The Eddie Polec murder case centers on the murder of a 16-year-old Edward William Polec that took place on the front steps of St. Cecilia's church in the Philadelphia Fox Chase neighborhood on the night of Friday, November 11, 1994. The case drew national media attention because it happened in a middle-class residential part of the city not customarily known for such a crime. Adding to its controversy was that it was carried out by a band of mixed-race youth from neighboring Montgomery County's upscale suburban Abington Township. The Philadelphia 911 emergency phone service and the Philadelphia police were reported to have been extraordinarily slow in responding that night.
