Murder Made Me Famous: The Nurse Killer Dec 09, 2021

Show notes

Richard Speck always believed he would shock the world and make headlines. He did just that when he systematically tortured, raped, and murdered eight student nurses from South Chicago Community Hospital on the night of July 13–14, 1966. He craved the attention he felt deprived of as a child, and he, unfortunately, found it in the kindness of nurses. His personal life in shambles, Speck couldn't find employment and struggled with substance abuse. Nearing the end of his rope and filled with rage, Speck unleashed on the people he craved most, nurses; raping and stabbing them over twenty times, washing his hands after each murder. Finally satisfied with his beastly binge, Speck thought he had created the perfect murder, but he made one crucial mistake - one woman survived, linking him to the bloody crime.
