Kerry and Erika hope you loathe Richard Speck loathe as much as we do after listening to this story. Our Illinois neighbors grew up knowing about him. He grew up in Western Illinois and killed in Chicago and Monmouth. We are calling him "Dick" for obvious reasons. The nurses he murdered were all young and beautiful ladies that were devoted to becoming nurses to help people. They were studying for finals, planning graduation, some were planning weddings to the love of their lives. There was one survivor that is an inspiration. This one is brutal and disgusting at the end when we talk about his prison life. Just a warning. It is outweighed by the humanity that still honors these nurses today. Most of the information is from the book The Crime of the Century, Life Magazine from July1966 and a great documentary on Reelz called Murder made Me Famous. There is a little treat at the end for my FOTC fellow fans;) And pardon the heavy breathing, its allergy season here in central illinois as fall sets in and the harvest goes out.
