WEBVTT

1
00:00:10.640 --> 00:00:14.160
Oh god, should we switch it
off? Hi, and welcome to give

2
00:00:14.240 --> 00:00:19.839
us morgue. I'm Nive and I'm
Megan And that was so weird. It

3
00:00:19.920 --> 00:00:30.719
was kind of weird. Let's popping, you guys, what's popping? Poppingpen?

4
00:00:31.160 --> 00:00:38.399
Oh wow, bounced off that microphone. The refurberation in your earballs was

5
00:00:39.359 --> 00:00:45.719
toasty. So we've already had a
few technical difficulties. Yeah, this is

6
00:00:45.759 --> 00:00:50.479
a whole new style of recording that
we're doing right now. It's really uncomfortable

7
00:00:50.640 --> 00:00:56.679
kind of So any hoodles, how
have you guys been you enjoying our episodes?

8
00:00:56.759 --> 00:00:59.320
Up? I thought Megan had a
glass of wine? There I do.

9
00:00:59.719 --> 00:01:04.359
It's my second So wag should that
be concerning as to what this case

10
00:01:04.560 --> 00:01:11.200
entails or slightly? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, get yeah, yeah yeah.

11
00:01:11.519 --> 00:01:17.040
I just have my Starbooks Halloween cup
because I am that bitch. It's

12
00:01:17.079 --> 00:01:19.400
beautiful. I had a rough week
and it was my It was like a

13
00:01:19.519 --> 00:01:26.079
reward. Let's look the reward.
I have been having a little glass of

14
00:01:26.079 --> 00:01:30.959
wine almost every night this week.
So fair because we found out that we

15
00:01:30.000 --> 00:01:34.159
had a surplus of wine from that
party get together thing that we had,

16
00:01:34.359 --> 00:01:42.120
oh know what tragedy. I know
tragedy. When you find the wine inside

17
00:01:42.120 --> 00:01:46.840
your fridge, it's tragedy. So
the only option is to have a glass

18
00:01:46.959 --> 00:01:55.719
every night because as I'm living is
stressful life. You're welcome, guys.

19
00:01:56.439 --> 00:02:00.239
Do copyrights. Copyrights, guys,
copyrights. That was that was my best

20
00:02:00.280 --> 00:02:07.319
work copy written. So guys,
guess what I learned this week And yeah,

21
00:02:07.360 --> 00:02:13.159
I'm going to brag about it because
I'm so proud of myself. Megan'son

22
00:02:13.319 --> 00:02:19.560
slaying slaying at her new job.
So I got a new job, and

23
00:02:19.639 --> 00:02:23.560
it's me scary. I'm still in
the same place, it's different. But

24
00:02:23.680 --> 00:02:30.039
yeah, yeah, So this week
I learned what market cap is and oh,

25
00:02:30.439 --> 00:02:32.240
she's got a definition for us.
Oh I'm not going to tell you

26
00:02:32.240 --> 00:02:37.479
the definition because I can't explain it
like properly yet, Like I don't mean

27
00:02:37.520 --> 00:02:40.560
that in a bad way, but
that would just go right over math mathematical

28
00:02:40.639 --> 00:02:46.879
formula. Fuck. No. So
for this week's episode, you guys,

29
00:02:46.960 --> 00:02:52.639
it's really there's a lot. There's
there's rape, there's murder. Okay,

30
00:02:53.199 --> 00:02:57.360
So yeah, if you're not feeling
like you want to listen to that right

31
00:02:57.400 --> 00:03:00.400
now, it's fine, go check
out some of her other stuff. We

32
00:03:00.479 --> 00:03:06.719
have some like I was gonna say
lighthearted, but they do all involve murder

33
00:03:07.240 --> 00:03:09.960
of some kind, so that's not
the correct term. There is. We

34
00:03:10.000 --> 00:03:14.879
have other episodes that you might be
able to listen to Bridget Cleary. Yeah,

35
00:03:14.919 --> 00:03:17.599
that's a fun one, a little
less heavy. Yeah, if you

36
00:03:17.639 --> 00:03:22.520
want to hear about banshees and change
links and everything like that, go back

37
00:03:22.560 --> 00:03:25.360
to our I think it was our
third ever episode. Oh god, you

38
00:03:25.400 --> 00:03:29.400
don't want to go back that far. That was not our best era.

39
00:03:29.599 --> 00:03:36.479
We're in it now. It's okay, okay, I loved that era.

40
00:03:36.639 --> 00:03:39.520
Okay, that era was me and
Neve sitting in her garage, sharing a

41
00:03:39.560 --> 00:03:46.080
microphone, just doing our damn best, just being like, wouldn't it be

42
00:03:46.159 --> 00:03:52.360
so funny if we started a podcast
over Snapchat one night and then it just

43
00:03:53.120 --> 00:03:57.199
it just grew from there, and
here we are. Here we are three

44
00:03:57.280 --> 00:04:00.439
years later. I know. Yeah. Now when people tell me they listen

45
00:04:00.520 --> 00:04:02.840
to us, I'm like, oh, I'm so sorry. Yeah. No.

46
00:04:03.080 --> 00:04:05.680
Still to this day, when people
say, oh, yeah, I

47
00:04:05.719 --> 00:04:08.960
listen to the podcast, I'm like, oh, why would you do?

48
00:04:08.960 --> 00:04:12.840
Don't tell me? God, yeah, I don't want to know. I

49
00:04:13.159 --> 00:04:17.079
like, let me live my life. I like to pretend we are just

50
00:04:17.120 --> 00:04:20.759
talking into the void. We're talking
to each other and nothing ever. Literally

51
00:04:20.800 --> 00:04:24.240
though, I got through the process
of editing it and then uploading it and

52
00:04:24.240 --> 00:04:27.160
I'm like, yeah, nobody listens. It's fine, it's fine, it's

53
00:04:27.160 --> 00:04:30.560
fine. And then we get emails
telling us how many people have listened.

54
00:04:30.519 --> 00:04:35.720
Oh not the weekly statistics. Oh
god. And when we're on our sabbaticals

55
00:04:35.759 --> 00:04:43.160
and we're getting the weekly statistics and
they're just dwindling and twinkling because we have

56
00:04:43.959 --> 00:04:49.279
because we're like, we're taking a
week's holidays. Five months later, they're

57
00:04:49.319 --> 00:04:54.279
like, oh, are you guys, maybe you want to post an episode

58
00:04:54.519 --> 00:04:58.959
please. People are kind of forgetting
about you. Yeah, and we're just

59
00:04:59.120 --> 00:05:05.839
like, I don't see you right
now, Marcus read anyway, We're about

60
00:05:05.839 --> 00:05:10.920
to jump right on in. Let's
go, let's get this, let's go.

61
00:05:11.160 --> 00:05:15.399
So this week's case is about Richard
Speck. I feel like he's not

62
00:05:15.480 --> 00:05:17.560
as spoken about in the true crime
world. Oh why do I know that

63
00:05:17.639 --> 00:05:20.120
name? Because he is, like, he is well known, but he's

64
00:05:20.160 --> 00:05:25.879
not I feel very spoken about.
And if you watched American Horror Story,

65
00:05:26.000 --> 00:05:29.959
they do have a scene in it
that is very like what he had done,

66
00:05:30.040 --> 00:05:31.600
and you'll know what's scene I'm talking
about when we get to the end.

67
00:05:32.319 --> 00:05:35.720
Okay, all right, so let's
get into it. Oh, it's

68
00:05:35.720 --> 00:05:41.399
like I don't know how to read
anymore. Richard Speck was born December sixth,

69
00:05:41.480 --> 00:05:45.519
nineteen forty one, the seventh of
eight children born to Mary and Benjamin

70
00:05:45.600 --> 00:05:49.560
Franklin in Kirkwood, Illinois. Eight
goddamn children, Such strong Catholic family.

71
00:05:49.680 --> 00:05:55.000
Yeah are My mom was like tels
enough to be fair. I was a

72
00:05:55.040 --> 00:06:00.839
demon child, so I was,
yes, I was. I yeah,

73
00:06:00.439 --> 00:06:03.279
I'm fully sure on the sill reason
she was like, yain, no,

74
00:06:03.360 --> 00:06:06.600
we're not having any much. But
I feel like it's always the case.

75
00:06:06.639 --> 00:06:10.879
It's like the first child is always
an angel, and then the second child

76
00:06:11.240 --> 00:06:18.560
is just megan. I put coal
in the computer and in the VCR ME.

77
00:06:21.120 --> 00:06:26.279
Yeah, I put playing cards in
the floppy disk part of the computer.

78
00:06:26.720 --> 00:06:31.519
You know what you are doing,
an investigation. I was curious.

79
00:06:32.199 --> 00:06:36.079
There's nothing wrong with curiosity apart from
when it breaks the family computer. I

80
00:06:36.199 --> 00:06:42.879
used to wash my dolls hairs in
the toilet. Oh, I'd get a

81
00:06:42.879 --> 00:06:46.279
hold of the shampoo as well,
Like they'd be shampoo in the toilet.

82
00:06:46.360 --> 00:06:53.600
Yeah, like my mother was like, and no more children, take my

83
00:06:54.160 --> 00:07:00.680
take my fallopian tubes away. His
older six siblings were all consider older than

84
00:07:00.759 --> 00:07:04.680
him and his younger sister Carolyn.
His mother, Mary was extremely religious and

85
00:07:04.839 --> 00:07:11.040
was a pioneer slash teetoler, which
meant that she didn't drink. Benjamin the

86
00:07:11.120 --> 00:07:13.879
dad was a little more easy going, and he would have a drink here

87
00:07:13.920 --> 00:07:17.759
in there. Yeah. He had
been working as a stonemason in Monmouth when

88
00:07:17.800 --> 00:07:23.759
he died of a heart issue at
only fifty eight years old. Geez Louise

89
00:07:24.360 --> 00:07:28.279
Richard was only six years old when
this happened, and he was very close

90
00:07:28.319 --> 00:07:30.639
with his father. Actually both parents
doated on all of the children, so

91
00:07:30.720 --> 00:07:35.839
this really affected him. About three
years later, Mary met a man named

92
00:07:36.040 --> 00:07:43.480
Carl August Rudolph Lindbergh. Oh my
god, what a fucking name. I

93
00:07:43.519 --> 00:07:48.120
struggled. That was a struggle.
I'm sorry, I gen't when he thought

94
00:07:48.240 --> 00:07:56.000
like it was gonna end and then
didn't know. I was like, oh

95
00:07:56.160 --> 00:08:01.959
my goodness, that's the name.
And he was a traveling salesman from Texas

96
00:08:03.439 --> 00:08:05.879
and they met while she was on
a train to Chicago. What a random

97
00:08:05.920 --> 00:08:11.879
place to meet a ma'am. I
know isn't it like people these days have

98
00:08:11.959 --> 00:08:15.079
to join Tinder and go through so
many people. But now she found Carol

99
00:08:15.120 --> 00:08:18.920
and she fell in love. She's
just training her way to Chicago, and

100
00:08:18.040 --> 00:08:22.360
this Texan man is like, howdy, ma'am. Oh, you know what,

101
00:08:22.519 --> 00:08:28.920
I get it married. It would
have followed for it too. Yeah.

102
00:08:28.959 --> 00:08:31.600
So they did get married very quickly, and I'm sure that did have

103
00:08:31.759 --> 00:08:35.799
something to do with the fact that
Mary had eight children that she was trying

104
00:08:35.799 --> 00:08:39.120
to raise by herself. Yeah.
I could see that there were a few

105
00:08:39.159 --> 00:08:41.399
of them that had married and moved
out at this point, but like,

106
00:08:41.559 --> 00:08:45.840
there's a lot going on there and
you can't do that by yourself. No.

107
00:08:46.120 --> 00:08:50.480
Fuck. Now, this didn't stabilize
Richard and Carolyn at all. They

108
00:08:50.480 --> 00:08:54.320
stayed with their sister until they finished
third grade, and then they joined their

109
00:08:54.320 --> 00:08:58.240
mother and stepfather in Texas, where
the home life was shit. Oh goodness,

110
00:08:58.679 --> 00:09:01.200
Yeah, it was really bad.
They moved around Texas a lot,

111
00:09:01.240 --> 00:09:07.759
about ten times. Jesus m.
Carol was a psychologically and physically abusive criminal

112
00:09:07.799 --> 00:09:11.240
with a rap sheet the length of
Texas, and the two kids were subject

113
00:09:11.360 --> 00:09:15.919
to endless abuse. This is not
funny, but it's funny Carol had a

114
00:09:15.960 --> 00:09:20.200
half leg after being in an accident, and he needed crutches to get around,

115
00:09:20.840 --> 00:09:24.679
and sometimes when Carol would beat him, Richard would fight back and tell

116
00:09:24.720 --> 00:09:30.159
us step father that he would beat
him up with his crouches. I'm sorry,

117
00:09:30.200 --> 00:09:33.559
that is iconic, all right,
Richard, Okay. I just needed

118
00:09:33.559 --> 00:09:37.399
to put in there because I needed
to note that Richard was threatening to beat

119
00:09:37.480 --> 00:09:41.360
up a grown man with his own
crutches at a young age. At a

120
00:09:41.120 --> 00:09:46.039
young He's like, beat me,
I'll beat you back with your goddamn crutches.

121
00:09:46.600 --> 00:09:50.480
Richard's eighth grade teacher would describe him
as quote, he was sort of

122
00:09:50.519 --> 00:09:54.360
sulky, but he didn't talk back. Evidently he had been taught at home

123
00:09:54.440 --> 00:09:58.120
not to talk back. He was
a loner. He didn't have any friends

124
00:09:58.120 --> 00:10:01.320
in class. He seemed sort of
it didn't seem as though he knew what

125
00:10:01.360 --> 00:10:05.559
was going on. I don't think
that I ever saw him smile. I

126
00:10:05.639 --> 00:10:07.759
wasn't able to teach him anything.
I don't think anybody could get through to

127
00:10:07.840 --> 00:10:11.840
him. He seemed to be in
a fog and that he is sad when

128
00:10:11.879 --> 00:10:15.440
you think about it. Child and
an abusive home. They can't take full

129
00:10:15.480 --> 00:10:20.799
advantage of school because there's so much
going on at home that they're too distracted

130
00:10:20.840 --> 00:10:26.480
about what's going on in their home
personal lives that they're not soaking anything up

131
00:10:26.559 --> 00:10:31.720
in school and they can't make friends
either, because I'm sure he was absolutely

132
00:10:31.840 --> 00:10:35.120
terrified that if any of his friends
ever found out what was going on at

133
00:10:35.120 --> 00:10:37.919
home, and then as well as
that, it's like I can't have my

134
00:10:37.000 --> 00:10:41.240
friends around to the house, or
you know, like, am I going

135
00:10:41.320 --> 00:10:46.559
to get in trouble if I asked
to go stay with a friend or exactly.

136
00:10:46.840 --> 00:10:50.159
Richard didn't speak in class either,
and refused to wear his glasses that

137
00:10:50.200 --> 00:10:52.799
he needed to wear, and I
think maybe for fear of being bullied when

138
00:10:52.799 --> 00:10:56.639
he was already a bit of a
loner. That's sad. He was also

139
00:10:56.679 --> 00:11:00.840
suffering quite badly with acne too,
so thin were not going well. For

140
00:11:00.960 --> 00:11:03.240
god. Yeah, no, he's
not having a good, good thing.

141
00:11:03.399 --> 00:11:05.919
And it didn't help either. When
he was only thirteen, he was actually

142
00:11:07.000 --> 00:11:11.440
arrested for the first time for trespassing
m He had started drinking at twelve,

143
00:11:11.519 --> 00:11:15.519
and by the age of fifteen he
was as much of a hard drinker as

144
00:11:15.519 --> 00:11:18.799
his stepfather was. Oh my god, that's no life. But at the

145
00:11:18.840 --> 00:11:24.919
same time, it's like he's dealing
with a lot of like grown up issues

146
00:11:26.360 --> 00:11:28.080
at quite a young age. So
to him, he's like, no,

147
00:11:28.200 --> 00:11:33.000
I need the drink. Yeah,
it's escapism. Really, he left school

148
00:11:33.039 --> 00:11:37.159
at sixteen, and now he would
spend his time quote bragging, drinking,

149
00:11:37.519 --> 00:11:43.000
lying, and whoring. Oh my
goodness, not the whoring, not the

150
00:11:43.080 --> 00:11:48.240
horn. The book that I read
for this states that he was treated for

151
00:11:48.279 --> 00:11:52.919
goneria five times and syphilis twice.
Jesus Christ, Richard, Yeah, we're

152
00:11:52.919 --> 00:11:56.960
not here to shame anyone, Okay. An STD's very easy to get.

153
00:11:56.000 --> 00:12:01.240
You can sleep with one person get
an STD. But five times you're syphilis

154
00:12:01.279 --> 00:12:05.639
twice. That's a lot of gnaria, Richard, it's a lot of I

155
00:12:05.679 --> 00:12:11.840
feel like it might be too much
gonaria. Like I feel like one time

156
00:12:11.919 --> 00:12:18.159
one STD is you know, too
many STDs. Book easily is like easily

157
00:12:18.200 --> 00:12:26.320
happened. Two STDs is like maybe
five STDs is like five times. The

158
00:12:26.320 --> 00:12:30.759
fifth time of gnarihea, It's like, no, Richard, you're not even

159
00:12:30.840 --> 00:12:33.320
trying anymore. Are you going back
to the same person? What's happening?

160
00:12:35.480 --> 00:12:39.559
How many? Why are you getting
gonaria so much? He walks into the

161
00:12:39.600 --> 00:12:41.320
doctor's office and they're like, ah, we don't even need to check.

162
00:12:41.559 --> 00:12:50.639
He walks in and they're Likenaria and
he's like, again, we're not here

163
00:12:50.679 --> 00:12:54.519
to shame anybody. SuDS happen just
a part of st Yeah, it's that's

164
00:12:54.559 --> 00:12:58.720
just it's a lot, That's all
I'm saying. Not like I'm not I'm

165
00:12:58.759 --> 00:13:05.759
just like five times, it's just
what like what any hoodles. When he

166
00:13:05.799 --> 00:13:09.559
was around nineteen, he got a
job working at a bottling factory for seven

167
00:13:09.639 --> 00:13:13.840
up and it was around this time
that he met fifteen year old Shirley and

168
00:13:15.200 --> 00:13:20.120
Malone Richard. That's not okay.
They met at a Texas state fair,

169
00:13:20.159 --> 00:13:22.759
and after only a few weeks of
dating, she got pregnant. Oh no,

170
00:13:24.120 --> 00:13:28.759
Richard, that's double not okay.
They had a bit of a shotgun

171
00:13:28.840 --> 00:13:33.320
wedding, but Richard continues continued his
shenanigans, and while his daughter was being

172
00:13:33.360 --> 00:13:37.120
born, he could not attend because
he was in jail serving twenty two days

173
00:13:37.200 --> 00:13:41.480
for a bear fight. Oh Richard, now I know you've had a shitty

174
00:13:41.559 --> 00:13:46.639
upbringing, but now's your time.
Now's your time to get it together and

175
00:13:46.679 --> 00:13:52.840
be like I'm not gonna let my
child go through anything traumatic. And you're

176
00:13:52.879 --> 00:13:58.480
in jail for a bear fight at
nineteen by the way, as well twenty.

177
00:13:58.600 --> 00:14:01.600
You're not even legally supposed to be
drinking. Why are you getting in

178
00:14:01.679 --> 00:14:05.399
bare frights? And I don't this, I don't think this was his first

179
00:14:05.399 --> 00:14:07.600
time in jail at all. Like
he was a he was a return caller,

180
00:14:09.200 --> 00:14:26.440
just like the gonorrhea. Anyway,
he's tryna break world records. Sorry,

181
00:14:28.120 --> 00:14:43.200
and we'll compose ourselves, I promise, Hey, whine the wine making

182
00:14:43.240 --> 00:14:52.360
megan joke if you just almost killed
me, I apologize. How are you

183
00:14:52.399 --> 00:14:56.639
guys? And we're gonna have to
cut like half of that egg because it's

184
00:14:56.639 --> 00:15:11.759
just was laughing like cooking Motley.
It was this time when he was in

185
00:15:11.840 --> 00:15:16.480
jail that he got a few shitty
tattoos. On his left calf was a

186
00:15:16.519 --> 00:15:22.679
tattoo of a bird with wings that
also had an erect penis oh for its

187
00:15:22.720 --> 00:15:28.120
head. And then he also got
born to raise Hell on his forearm and

188
00:15:28.320 --> 00:15:37.480
surely on his shoulder. No,
Robert, that's embarrassing. Richard. Oh

189
00:15:37.639 --> 00:15:41.279
Richard. Wait, he's called him
Richard and he has born to did you

190
00:15:41.399 --> 00:15:48.480
this cup dick head on the bird? Did he call himself is he saying

191
00:15:48.519 --> 00:15:56.960
that tattoo is He's probably saying he's
free like a bird, but he's like

192
00:15:58.080 --> 00:16:03.840
nickaated dick Dick. Yeah, that's
also but also born to raise. Your

193
00:16:03.879 --> 00:16:11.039
name is Richard, and you're gonna
get born to raise hell And that's like

194
00:16:11.759 --> 00:16:18.320
what's like the female version of Richard? Like Richard's a posh name? I

195
00:16:18.360 --> 00:16:22.679
don't know, like Mary. Imagine
Mary getting like born to whole one or

196
00:16:25.200 --> 00:16:32.000
like what your name's Mary? Margaret? Margaret? Literally like, hello,

197
00:16:32.080 --> 00:16:37.759
my name is Margaret. I'm born
to who? You know what? I

198
00:16:37.759 --> 00:16:40.600
always think every time we use the
word whore on this podcast, I'm like,

199
00:16:40.639 --> 00:16:44.159
are we going to get canceled like
param where I got canceled? No,

200
00:16:44.519 --> 00:16:48.159
because we don't have enough of a
following to be canceled. Praise Jesus

201
00:16:48.240 --> 00:16:51.519
for that. What's going to happen
if we ever do get a following,

202
00:16:51.559 --> 00:16:52.799
I'm not gonna have to rein it
in. I don't know if I can.

203
00:16:53.879 --> 00:16:59.120
All right. He had just gotten
Shirley tattooed on his shoulder, too,

204
00:16:59.440 --> 00:17:03.440
but at this point him and Shirley
were already separated parably due to say

205
00:17:03.440 --> 00:17:07.200
that he treated her during her pregnancy. She broke up with you, and

206
00:17:07.279 --> 00:17:10.119
you were like, I'm gonna get
her tattooed on me. But this is

207
00:17:10.119 --> 00:17:14.319
the thing. He's an extremely jealous
and paranoid man, and he would often

208
00:17:14.359 --> 00:17:18.559
accuse her of cheating, but then
to return the favor, he would like

209
00:17:18.799 --> 00:17:22.000
drive and park in front of her
house in his convertible and like kiss and

210
00:17:22.119 --> 00:17:26.480
touch other women in the car in
front of her house, try and make

211
00:17:26.519 --> 00:17:30.559
him jealous. First of all,
this per girl is like fifteen, sixteen

212
00:17:30.680 --> 00:17:33.880
years of age, Like, what
are you doing, Richard, go back

213
00:17:33.880 --> 00:17:38.440
to prison, just honestly, just
you know. They they have the room

214
00:17:38.440 --> 00:17:41.559
waiting, They have one set aside
has your name on the door. And

215
00:17:41.640 --> 00:17:48.359
this happened at least six times.
At least he would also threaten Shirley with

216
00:17:48.400 --> 00:17:51.720
a knife and look for sex six
to seven times a day, and he

217
00:17:51.759 --> 00:17:56.240
would rape her if she refused.
Six to seven times a day. Richard,

218
00:17:57.319 --> 00:18:03.119
that's not humanly possible, Like I'm
sure it is, but I'm sure

219
00:18:03.160 --> 00:18:10.640
it is. But like at the
sack fucking now, Richard, Jesus Richard,

220
00:18:10.839 --> 00:18:15.839
he's happened a little a little viagra. He had to have been popping

221
00:18:15.920 --> 00:18:21.559
fucking something six six times a day
at that point, he's just coming powder.

222
00:18:22.319 --> 00:18:27.279
Honestly, he's a horrible, disgusting
man. So Richard had even attacked

223
00:18:27.279 --> 00:18:33.240
and threatened Shirley's mother a couple of
times. No, that's definitely not okay.

224
00:18:33.759 --> 00:18:36.279
And it was really weird because he
once brought a picture of her in

225
00:18:36.279 --> 00:18:40.519
a swimsuit to the local bar and
then gave her number out to the guys

226
00:18:40.559 --> 00:18:41.799
that are like, oh, yeah, she's pretty hot, and then she

227
00:18:41.920 --> 00:18:48.680
got multiple calls from men looking for
dates. That would be terrifying, wouldn't

228
00:18:48.680 --> 00:18:52.720
it, Like that's like somebody sending
your nudes around? Basically, yeah,

229
00:18:52.759 --> 00:18:56.920
basically she reported him to the police
after he threatened her with a knife,

230
00:18:56.119 --> 00:19:00.839
but no arrest was ever made.
Richard was when known to the police,

231
00:19:00.880 --> 00:19:03.039
though, obviously, and right here, I'm just gonna take a very quick

232
00:19:03.039 --> 00:19:11.759
ad break. So welcome back from
the break, you guys. We refilled

233
00:19:11.759 --> 00:19:15.960
our refreshments. We are back back
with a bang, bitch. Before Richard

234
00:19:17.039 --> 00:19:21.720
was twenty four, he had been
arrested forty one times. What the fuck,

235
00:19:21.839 --> 00:19:26.480
Richard, what he'd stop it?
That's no, that has to be

236
00:19:26.519 --> 00:19:30.839
a world record. At that point. I'm sure the police were just styling

237
00:19:30.279 --> 00:19:34.599
you know the stairs sixty nine the
recall button. Yeah, he's back in

238
00:19:34.680 --> 00:19:38.839
again. Mary. In nineteen sixty
three, he had been sentenced to three

239
00:19:38.960 --> 00:19:44.400
years for robbing a store and stealing
his co workers paycheck, but he was

240
00:19:44.440 --> 00:19:48.880
paroled for good behavior after only sixteen
months. No, because he's clearly not

241
00:19:49.680 --> 00:19:55.359
on good behavior, because he's forty
one times has been arrested. It seems

242
00:19:55.400 --> 00:19:57.160
to be that he can be on
good behavior when he really wants to be.

243
00:19:57.319 --> 00:20:02.079
It's really weird. But it didn't
really translate into the real world because

244
00:20:02.160 --> 00:20:06.000
after less than a week he was
arrested for attacking a woman in a car

245
00:20:06.039 --> 00:20:10.880
park with a seventeen inch carving knife. Oh, sweet mother of Divine Jesus.

246
00:20:11.359 --> 00:20:14.240
When she screamed, a guy came
out and was like what is going

247
00:20:14.480 --> 00:20:18.400
one? And she ran and like
that gave her enough time to make an

248
00:20:18.480 --> 00:20:22.200
escape and Richard was picked up after
a few minutes and they found then I've

249
00:20:22.240 --> 00:20:26.799
dumped in a bush like he ran
and the police were very close already,

250
00:20:27.240 --> 00:20:30.359
but they caught him like right away. He was sent back to prison then

251
00:20:30.440 --> 00:20:37.359
for a violating violating, violating his
parole, violating his parole, getting him

252
00:20:37.440 --> 00:20:41.079
six months and beat the attack,
giving him sixteen months, so two separate

253
00:20:41.119 --> 00:20:45.200
charges. Yeah, but I guarantee
he'd like only served like six months of

254
00:20:45.279 --> 00:20:52.400
that. The two sentences were to
run concurrently to each other, but due

255
00:20:52.400 --> 00:20:59.279
to basically a filing error, he
was released after only six months. Ah,

256
00:21:00.039 --> 00:21:03.359
there we go. And the parole
officer had this to say, quote,

257
00:21:03.720 --> 00:21:07.720
when Spec is drinking, he will
fight or threaten anybody as long as

258
00:21:07.759 --> 00:21:11.880
he has a knife or a gun. When he's sober or unarmed, he

259
00:21:11.920 --> 00:21:15.279
couldn't face down a mouse. That's
all well and good. Tell that to

260
00:21:15.319 --> 00:21:21.200
the girlfriend. Yeah, poor,
surely. But basically the parole officer was

261
00:21:21.240 --> 00:21:23.720
saying, SPEC's a big old pussy. He's a big old fucking loser.

262
00:21:25.039 --> 00:21:29.519
It's only when he's drinking that he's
fucking Johnny big balls. Yeah, we

263
00:21:29.599 --> 00:21:33.240
all know those people. That's like
from your man Paul last week, the

264
00:21:33.279 --> 00:21:38.400
Merda murders with the big hands,
the jazz hands. I'm getting angry.

265
00:21:41.079 --> 00:21:45.160
In case you guys don't know,
Paul Murdo used to spread his fingers out

266
00:21:45.160 --> 00:21:51.880
wide when he would get drunken angry, very terrifying. It's like when you

267
00:21:51.960 --> 00:21:55.359
need a bear and you raise your
arms up to make yourself seem bigger.

268
00:21:56.559 --> 00:21:59.319
After his release, he went to
work as a trucker for a meat company.

269
00:21:59.640 --> 00:22:03.559
He got into six accidents in the
truck, but then he was only

270
00:22:03.599 --> 00:22:07.799
fired for just not showing off one
day. Six accidents. If I make

271
00:22:07.880 --> 00:22:11.440
one singular, small, tiny,
eighty bay little mistake at work, I'm

272
00:22:11.480 --> 00:22:15.279
like, oh, crucify me,
just let fire me. I'm no good,

273
00:22:15.680 --> 00:22:21.759
I'm no good. But six truck
accidents, Richard, Richard, why

274
00:22:21.799 --> 00:22:26.119
are you going to try break every
god damn fucking Guinness World record there is?

275
00:22:26.799 --> 00:22:32.079
You know what if he was just
born to raise hell? Richard,

276
00:22:32.720 --> 00:22:36.880
stay in your lane. Just stay
in fucking prison. Oh my god,

277
00:22:37.680 --> 00:22:41.119
that's what I mean. That's his
lane. Why are you? Why are

278
00:22:41.119 --> 00:22:47.559
you getting arrested forty one times?
Getting gunnery at five? Six truck accidents?

279
00:22:47.559 --> 00:22:52.680
Syphilist twice, that's Richard? Are
you okay? One divorce? Oh

280
00:22:52.759 --> 00:22:57.680
before he's hit fucking thirty. Nancy
Simms was a twenty nine year old single

281
00:22:57.759 --> 00:23:02.640
mother of Tree. She was an
ex wrestler turned bear woman at Jinny's,

282
00:23:02.799 --> 00:23:07.119
a bear that Richard frequented, but
she was actually struggling to find a babysitter

283
00:23:07.240 --> 00:23:12.359
and Richard's mother Mary basically asked her, like asked Nancy, if Richard could

284
00:23:12.440 --> 00:23:18.119
move in and in return he would
provide babysitting services. Oh no, Nancy,

285
00:23:18.400 --> 00:23:23.359
you do not want Richard babysitting your
kids. First of all, he

286
00:23:23.400 --> 00:23:27.279
has a kid of his own that
he doesn't even see. I mean just

287
00:23:27.599 --> 00:23:33.079
I would not want him around my
children. He's a criminal, a convicted

288
00:23:33.160 --> 00:23:36.759
criminal. I wouldn't even want him
around me, never mind my job.

289
00:23:37.000 --> 00:23:41.880
Like that's a whole other like not. I don't even don't even look at

290
00:23:41.880 --> 00:23:45.279
me, Richard. Now. She
eventually kicked him out for having a fight

291
00:23:45.319 --> 00:23:49.119
with her ex husband, and she
did notice that Richards drank a lot and

292
00:23:49.160 --> 00:23:53.039
done awful things to people when he
was drunk, But he was always sorry

293
00:23:53.119 --> 00:24:00.759
when he sobered up. Way sorry, well, good job. Was he

294
00:24:00.839 --> 00:24:03.599
sorry to Shirley when he raped her, when he would feel up other women

295
00:24:03.680 --> 00:24:07.559
in front of her? Was he
sorry? I don't think he was.

296
00:24:07.559 --> 00:24:10.440
Was he sorry when he tried to
attack her with a knife? Her mother,

297
00:24:10.640 --> 00:24:15.279
that's her mother, Jesus Christ.
Richard. I felt sorry for you

298
00:24:15.359 --> 00:24:19.759
in the beginning. Then I called
you Robert, and no, I don't

299
00:24:19.799 --> 00:24:25.200
like you at all, morbid.
I always say that like it's okay,

300
00:24:25.400 --> 00:24:27.400
not that it's okay, but like
you can feel sorry for the kid.

301
00:24:27.960 --> 00:24:32.759
You don't have to feel sorry for
the adults because when you're an adult,

302
00:24:32.799 --> 00:24:36.680
you can decide you have free will. But as a kid, when you're

303
00:24:36.720 --> 00:24:40.279
in this situation, you don't have
free like enough free will to be able

304
00:24:40.279 --> 00:24:42.079
to go and do whatever you want. I feel like though, like Richard,

305
00:24:42.160 --> 00:24:48.119
just like you know, sad story, sad story, out of control.

306
00:24:48.200 --> 00:24:52.480
He was like, I'm going to
be the baddest bitch there is,

307
00:24:52.640 --> 00:24:56.119
and he took that literal. I'm
going to get a tattoo of a bird

308
00:24:56.160 --> 00:25:02.839
with a dickhead because I I'm a
dickhead. Not long after this, Richard

309
00:25:02.920 --> 00:25:07.200
was in Jinny's when he attacked another
patron, stabbing him with the switchblade that

310
00:25:07.319 --> 00:25:11.799
Richard always carried on him. Because
casual fine, he was only given a

311
00:25:11.920 --> 00:25:18.200
ten dollars fine after Mammy got him
a lawyer. He stabbed somebody Mary and

312
00:25:18.279 --> 00:25:23.039
wait till you hear this. He
refused to pay the ten dollars fine,

313
00:25:23.400 --> 00:25:30.119
so he Richard three whole, three
whole days in jail instead. Richard,

314
00:25:30.160 --> 00:25:34.079
it's ten fucking dollars, you scabby
ass bitch, you basically could have paid

315
00:25:34.160 --> 00:25:38.920
ten dollars to stab somebody. Yeah, essentially. In March of nineteen sixty

316
00:25:38.960 --> 00:25:44.160
six, he bought a nineteen fifty
four Plymouth and used it to sell cigarettes

317
00:25:44.200 --> 00:25:48.799
out of after burglarizing a grocery store
to steal the cigarettes. I mean at

318
00:25:48.839 --> 00:25:52.319
least didn't stab anybody. Yeah,
I mean it's a non violent crime.

319
00:25:52.839 --> 00:25:56.920
Our expectations are on the floor there. It was a non violent crime.

320
00:25:56.079 --> 00:26:00.480
No, they're not even on the
floor. They're in the circle right there.

321
00:26:00.759 --> 00:26:04.160
He was ann violent crime, you
know. Good on him. Yeah,

322
00:26:04.400 --> 00:26:10.400
Oh, he's improving. He left
the carrot there like where he was

323
00:26:10.440 --> 00:26:12.920
selling the cigarettes from, and the
police were easily able to track him down

324
00:26:14.000 --> 00:26:17.640
after they checked the carrot and saw
that he had bought it. They tracked

325
00:26:17.640 --> 00:26:21.720
the carrot to his sister's house,
but he wasn't there with this and arrest

326
00:26:21.759 --> 00:26:23.880
warrant was out for him, and
he realized that it was about time to

327
00:26:23.880 --> 00:26:30.359
skip town to avoid prison. As
much as he enjoyed bragging about his time

328
00:26:30.359 --> 00:26:32.680
on the inside, you know,
he's one of those guys like you always

329
00:26:32.640 --> 00:26:41.200
spent six months. I spent the
guy got three days. Yeah, my

330
00:26:41.319 --> 00:26:45.359
arm says, so he left Texas
for Chicago when his sister brought him down

331
00:26:45.400 --> 00:26:48.839
to the train station. He moved
from place to place, staying with friends

332
00:26:48.880 --> 00:26:52.759
and family, taking up odd jobs
that he could never keep. He made

333
00:26:52.759 --> 00:26:56.440
his way back to his original home
of Monmouth, where he continued his criminal

334
00:26:56.440 --> 00:27:00.799
activity. On April second, Richard
broke into the home of sixty five year

335
00:27:00.799 --> 00:27:04.440
old Virgil Harris. She had returned
home from a babysitting job to see that

336
00:27:04.519 --> 00:27:07.960
her home had been ransacked and a
six foot one figure standing in the dark

337
00:27:08.079 --> 00:27:12.480
in her room. He forced her
to strip before raping her, cutting up

338
00:27:12.519 --> 00:27:18.000
her dressing gown to bind her with
it before leaving. She managed to get

339
00:27:18.039 --> 00:27:22.319
to a neighbor's house, and she
did thankfully survive, and interestingly, she

340
00:27:22.519 --> 00:27:26.519
was checked over by the same doctor
in Monmouth that had aided Richard's mother in

341
00:27:26.599 --> 00:27:30.839
his birth. Jesus Christ, it's
a small ten, I believe. On

342
00:27:30.920 --> 00:27:34.759
April ninth, nineteen sixty six,
a thirty two year old bear maid named

343
00:27:34.839 --> 00:27:40.200
Mary Kay Pierce went missing after finishing
her late shift at the bear She was

344
00:27:40.279 --> 00:27:45.279
found dead in an abandoned little like
building slash structure kind of thing. I

345
00:27:45.279 --> 00:27:48.240
think it was used to hold like
pigs in. She had been hit in

346
00:27:48.279 --> 00:27:52.119
the stomach, which ruptured her liver. Speck was questioned regarding her murder.

347
00:27:53.039 --> 00:27:56.119
Richard faked being sick the first time, so the police told him that they

348
00:27:56.119 --> 00:28:00.400
would interview him again another time.
When that day came and the police were

349
00:28:00.440 --> 00:28:04.119
looking for him in the hotel that
he'd been staying in, they were told

350
00:28:04.200 --> 00:28:11.519
that he had left earlier in the
day. That's not suspicious exactly. It's

351
00:28:11.559 --> 00:28:15.960
not confirmed that he killed Mary Kay. It is while widely believed, Oh

352
00:28:15.039 --> 00:28:19.200
God, yeah, like, why
would you not go for the police interview

353
00:28:19.200 --> 00:28:23.440
if you were innocent. He moved
in with his sister Martha in Chicago at

354
00:28:23.440 --> 00:28:29.920
this point and her husband and two
teenage daughters. He very quickly overstayed his

355
00:28:30.039 --> 00:28:33.519
welcome. Richard wasn't working, and
he was sleeping on their couch. And

356
00:28:33.799 --> 00:28:38.400
from what I know, I believe
they were in like an apartment that was

357
00:28:38.440 --> 00:28:44.000
already pretty cramped with the two daughters
and the husband and the wife. To

358
00:28:44.079 --> 00:28:47.279
have somebody else staying there and sleeping
on the couch, it's not a comfortable

359
00:28:47.319 --> 00:28:49.720
situation. It was noted, though, that he was very clean. He

360
00:28:49.759 --> 00:28:53.079
would have multiple showers a day,
He would change his shirt multiple times a

361
00:28:53.160 --> 00:28:56.799
day. When you look at Richard
as an adult to his skin is completely

362
00:28:57.160 --> 00:29:00.640
pock marked. And like I said, he did have acne when he was

363
00:29:00.720 --> 00:29:07.359
younger, and knowing somebody that had
really bad acne, like cystic acne when

364
00:29:07.359 --> 00:29:12.440
they were younger, they told me
that being in the shower it makes you

365
00:29:12.480 --> 00:29:18.319
feel clean, like to have multiple
showers a day because you feel clean,

366
00:29:18.359 --> 00:29:21.319
and also because nobody can actually see
you when you're in the shower. There's

367
00:29:21.319 --> 00:29:25.079
nobody staring, there's nobody looking at
you, so it is a kind of

368
00:29:25.119 --> 00:29:27.039
safe space. And I don't know
if maybe that's why he was taking multiple

369
00:29:27.039 --> 00:29:30.920
showers a day, or if it's
just because he was bored. I don't

370
00:29:30.960 --> 00:29:33.079
know who. It got to the
point where on the twelfth of July,

371
00:29:33.359 --> 00:29:38.680
Martha and her husband drove Richards to
the National Maritime Union Hall to seek employment

372
00:29:38.799 --> 00:29:42.119
on one of the boats, as
he did actually have some experience as a

373
00:29:42.160 --> 00:29:49.319
seaman see me. However, the
job he was called in for was actually

374
00:29:49.400 --> 00:29:53.799
given to another man with more kind
of seniority on it, and you know,

375
00:29:55.079 --> 00:29:59.480
he didn't have great records so exactly, so like we really don't know

376
00:29:59.519 --> 00:30:03.079
if we want to but you're in
a confine space with other people, Richards,

377
00:30:03.359 --> 00:30:07.000
Are you gonna stab anybody? Hey, tell me the truth. Don't

378
00:30:07.039 --> 00:30:11.480
be shy. We're not gonna get
angry. Maybe, Okay, you know

379
00:30:11.519 --> 00:30:14.240
what, Richard, I'm just disappointed. I'm not angry. I'm disappointed.

380
00:30:14.319 --> 00:30:18.680
I'm disappointed his brother in law gave
him some money and sent him on his

381
00:30:18.759 --> 00:30:21.559
way. And I do just want
to say here, like, let it

382
00:30:21.640 --> 00:30:26.480
be known that the nursing dorms were
very close to the ENEMU. I went

383
00:30:26.519 --> 00:30:32.119
on Google Maps, so where the
National Maritime Union Hall was is no longer

384
00:30:32.160 --> 00:30:36.839
there, but from what I could
kind of gather, it literally was just

385
00:30:36.920 --> 00:30:40.640
around the corner, Like I mean, it was on a block. You

386
00:30:40.799 --> 00:30:45.960
turn the corner and then nurse's storms
were right there. Okay, if you

387
00:30:47.000 --> 00:30:48.759
were probably in the backyard and of
the nurse's dorms, you could probably look

388
00:30:48.799 --> 00:30:55.799
over into the back the Union Hall
from what I understand, I don't know

389
00:30:55.880 --> 00:31:00.400
Chicago, but from Google Maps is
what I could gather. At night,

390
00:31:00.880 --> 00:31:04.640
Richard approached fifty three year old mother
of ten Lama Hooper. That night.

391
00:31:04.799 --> 00:31:10.519
She was carrying a gun that she
had recently. She had recently purchased it.

392
00:31:11.039 --> 00:31:15.160
That night, she was carrying a
gun that she had recently purchased with

393
00:31:15.160 --> 00:31:18.839
her spec came up behind her after
following her for a while, and stuck

394
00:31:18.839 --> 00:31:22.559
a knife to her back. He
forced her back to his room that he

395
00:31:22.640 --> 00:31:26.759
was staying in and he raped her. He did let her go, and

396
00:31:26.799 --> 00:31:30.160
he ordered her to meet him later
on at a bar so he could give

397
00:31:30.200 --> 00:31:34.720
her some money. It was a
very strange, very very strange interaction,

398
00:31:36.480 --> 00:31:41.359
and obviously he did raper yeah,
but he kind of led on like it

399
00:31:41.400 --> 00:31:45.160
wasn't a rape to himself and to
her, like I'm going to give you

400
00:31:45.200 --> 00:31:48.920
money. It was a real case
of no, like you're a sex worker,

401
00:31:48.960 --> 00:31:51.920
Like I'm going to pay you for
this, Like he decided that she

402
00:31:52.039 --> 00:31:55.880
was a sex work. Yeah.
When she left, she checked her bag

403
00:31:56.400 --> 00:32:00.880
and she realized that her twenty two
caliber pistol was gone. Oh not only

404
00:32:00.920 --> 00:32:06.079
did you rape the woman, but
you robbed her classy, And he'd done

405
00:32:06.079 --> 00:32:07.519
it in a very sly way as
well. From the book that I read.

406
00:32:07.559 --> 00:32:09.759
He picked up her bag to give
it to her to be like,

407
00:32:09.799 --> 00:32:15.240
I'll meet you at the bar later, but obviously had the route through and

408
00:32:15.359 --> 00:32:17.640
got the gun so earlier. In
the day while he was at the Union

409
00:32:17.680 --> 00:32:21.920
Hall, he had seen a girl
in a yellow dress walking into a building

410
00:32:22.039 --> 00:32:25.400
close by. He was mesmerized by
her and he couldn't stop watching her.

411
00:32:25.480 --> 00:32:29.599
Like he saw the yellow dress and
he was like, Okay, I'm going

412
00:32:29.680 --> 00:32:34.920
to remember that girl. H Now
very drunk and agitated, he found his

413
00:32:35.000 --> 00:32:39.440
way to that building that he saw
that woman walk into. He broke into

414
00:32:39.480 --> 00:32:45.160
twenty three nineteen East one hundredth Street
through a back window and found his way

415
00:32:45.200 --> 00:32:50.400
to one of the bedrooms upstairs.
Corazon Amarro twenty three opened the door to

416
00:32:50.519 --> 00:32:53.759
a gun in her face. Merlita
Gargulo, who was sleeping in the same

417
00:32:53.839 --> 00:32:58.000
room also twenty three, had gotten
out of bed to see who was at

418
00:32:58.000 --> 00:33:02.400
the door. Valentina Passion, also
twenty three, was in the room too.

419
00:33:04.279 --> 00:33:07.359
The three girls were from the Philippines, and we're in the US on

420
00:33:07.440 --> 00:33:10.640
a student visa to learn more about
nursing. The thing about these three girls

421
00:33:10.839 --> 00:33:15.680
is that they were all really homesick, but they became really good friends because

422
00:33:15.680 --> 00:33:21.680
they were able to share that homesickness
together. Oh, they obviously shared the

423
00:33:21.720 --> 00:33:25.039
same interests in food and things that
were you know, back from the Philippines.

424
00:33:25.839 --> 00:33:29.920
Yeah, you know, like I
think that when you leave a country,

425
00:33:30.279 --> 00:33:34.480
and speaking from experience, when you
meet somebody that is from your country,

426
00:33:34.880 --> 00:33:37.720
you're like, Oh, thank God, you're gonna understand my humor.

427
00:33:37.759 --> 00:33:40.680
You're gonna understand what I'm talking about. You can understand my talk really fast.

428
00:33:42.200 --> 00:33:45.880
Yeah, Like we're going to bond
over like things that we're homesick over,

429
00:33:45.119 --> 00:33:50.359
things that we miss, things that
we don't miss. You're gonna get

430
00:33:50.400 --> 00:33:53.559
like my kind of humor. And
because every country is so different that like

431
00:33:54.319 --> 00:34:00.000
m Richard moved all three of the
girls into another bedroom where three more girls

432
00:34:00.000 --> 00:34:07.199
were sweeping soundly. Biggest disappointment.
There are many women unfortunately involved in this

433
00:34:07.280 --> 00:34:14.400
night. Patricia Mattusek, Pamela Wilkining, both twenty and Nina Joe Schmail,

434
00:34:14.639 --> 00:34:20.440
twenty four. We're all awakened by
the disturbance. Richard forced them all to

435
00:34:20.480 --> 00:34:23.320
sit in a semicircle on the ground
while he sat in front of them.

436
00:34:23.440 --> 00:34:28.079
The three Filipino girls hid in the
closet, but came out when the other

437
00:34:28.119 --> 00:34:31.239
girls knocked and said that this man
was not dangerous because Richard had told the

438
00:34:31.239 --> 00:34:35.840
girls that he only wanted money to
get to New Orleans. So he sat

439
00:34:35.840 --> 00:34:37.000
there and he's like, Oh,
I'm not gonna hurt you. I just

440
00:34:37.039 --> 00:34:40.360
need your money. I just want
to rob you. It was very much

441
00:34:40.400 --> 00:34:44.760
like what BTK used to do.
Yeah, Like it's a real case of

442
00:34:45.159 --> 00:34:47.559
like no, like if you just
cooperate and give me your money, like

443
00:34:47.639 --> 00:34:52.480
I will leave you, and like
you can just forget this ever happened.

444
00:34:52.639 --> 00:34:53.840
You can move on. I can
move on. I can go down to

445
00:34:53.880 --> 00:34:59.360
New Orleans, like we'll be fine. While they sat around in this semi

446
00:34:59.440 --> 00:35:04.960
circle, Gloria Davies came home from
a night out with her boyfriend. As

447
00:35:05.000 --> 00:35:07.760
she walked in, she screamed when
she saw what was happening. At this

448
00:35:07.840 --> 00:35:13.440
point, Richard freaked out and he
ripped up some bedsheets and tied the girls

449
00:35:13.519 --> 00:35:16.239
up using strips of them, which
we can remember he'd done that to the

450
00:35:16.760 --> 00:35:20.960
lady where he had broken in and
ran slept at home, he ripped up

451
00:35:20.960 --> 00:35:24.719
her addressing gown. Yeah. He
first took Pamela Wilkining out of the room

452
00:35:24.760 --> 00:35:30.599
and into another bedroom where he was
intent on raping her. Just as he

453
00:35:30.639 --> 00:35:35.119
went to do this, nurses Suzanne
Faris and Mary Anne Jordan walked in.

454
00:35:36.559 --> 00:35:39.199
Mary Anne was there to stay the
night with Suzanne to talk wedding plans,

455
00:35:39.440 --> 00:35:45.800
as Suzanne was getting married to mary
Anne's brother Phil, so she didn't even

456
00:35:45.840 --> 00:35:51.239
live there. That's yeah. They
had spent the evening like chatting with friends,

457
00:35:51.880 --> 00:35:54.719
basically the girls that lived in the
dorm next door to the dorm,

458
00:35:54.719 --> 00:35:58.840
and Richard was in. They spent
the evening there. They like, they

459
00:35:58.880 --> 00:36:01.360
had chatted, they'd gone I think
it was burging that day. They were

460
00:36:01.440 --> 00:36:08.199
having a great day friend and then
they come home to this horrible They screamed

461
00:36:08.199 --> 00:36:13.400
as they saw Richard hunched over Pamela. He jumped at the two girls and

462
00:36:13.480 --> 00:36:17.760
moved them into another bedroom. He
stabbed Susanne eighteen times in the back and

463
00:36:17.880 --> 00:36:22.079
chest, and then used in nurse's
sock to strangle her, before moving on

464
00:36:22.159 --> 00:36:25.519
to mary Anne, where he hit
her in the eye with the knife and

465
00:36:25.559 --> 00:36:30.639
then stabbed her three times in the
chest. Then he went back to Pamela,

466
00:36:30.119 --> 00:36:32.960
where he stabbed her in the heart. He went into the bathroom to

467
00:36:32.960 --> 00:36:37.400
clean himself off so that when he
went back into the original bedroom none of

468
00:36:37.400 --> 00:36:40.920
the girls would see the blood on
him. Next, he took Ninishmail.

469
00:36:42.480 --> 00:36:47.159
She suffered stab wounds and a broken
neck. Oh my god. At this

470
00:36:47.239 --> 00:36:52.880
point, the remaining girls had heard
a bit of a like a bit of

471
00:36:52.920 --> 00:36:55.800
a commotion. Yeah, exactly.
There wasn't like a lot of noise because

472
00:36:55.880 --> 00:37:00.880
he was strangling them. He was
making sure that the other women couldn't hear

473
00:37:00.920 --> 00:37:05.880
what was going on because he wanted
them to continue to believe that they were

474
00:37:05.960 --> 00:37:08.880
safe. Yeah. At this point, the remaining girls scrambled to find a

475
00:37:08.960 --> 00:37:14.280
hiding spot in the room. Corazon, who from now on I'm going to

476
00:37:14.320 --> 00:37:20.360
call Cora, managed to squeeze herself
under a bunk bed. He came for

477
00:37:20.519 --> 00:37:24.440
Valentina. Next, after Valentina was
Marita. He dragged Mariita out of the

478
00:37:24.559 --> 00:37:29.280
room, and Cora heard her yell. After about half an hour, Speck

479
00:37:29.440 --> 00:37:34.920
came back for Patricia Matusik. He
knelt beside here, asking are you the

480
00:37:34.920 --> 00:37:37.639
girl in the yellow dress? Like
I said earlier, he had noticed a

481
00:37:37.639 --> 00:37:42.719
girl in the yellow dress and became
fixated on her. She was brought to

482
00:37:42.760 --> 00:37:45.920
the bathroom, where Cora heard him
tell her to lie down. Patricia was

483
00:37:46.000 --> 00:37:51.119
kicked in the stomach. Spec came
back and woke up Gloria, who was

484
00:37:51.159 --> 00:37:53.159
sleeping on one of the beds.
Now, Gloria had come home from a

485
00:37:53.239 --> 00:37:57.880
date with her boyfriend. Remember,
she walked in as everybody was in the

486
00:37:57.920 --> 00:38:01.440
semi circustoms show was quite drunk,
and nobody knew what was happening to the

487
00:38:01.480 --> 00:38:04.880
girls. Once they left the room, they didn't know if they were being

488
00:38:04.880 --> 00:38:08.800
moved to another room. They they
believed he wasn't hurting anybody because every time

489
00:38:09.320 --> 00:38:14.079
he hurt somebody, he would go
to the bathroom and he would clean himself

490
00:38:15.039 --> 00:38:19.480
again. Like I say, the
girls weren't really hearing much, so they

491
00:38:19.480 --> 00:38:23.159
didn't really know what was happening.
She woke up and she said, I

492
00:38:23.280 --> 00:38:28.880
dreamed my mother died. Cora looked
up from underneath the bed to see that

493
00:38:29.039 --> 00:38:31.920
Speck was raping her. Cora put
her head down and prayed until she could

494
00:38:31.920 --> 00:38:37.800
hear no more movement. When she
looked up, Gloria and spec were gone,

495
00:38:37.199 --> 00:38:40.320
and she took this chance to move
her hiding spot so that she would

496
00:38:40.360 --> 00:38:45.360
be better concealed. So basically,
she was under one bunk bed, but

497
00:38:45.480 --> 00:38:51.480
her head was kind of like half
fit her head under, but she managed

498
00:38:51.519 --> 00:38:54.599
to kind of crawl her way to
another bunk bed that was on the other

499
00:38:54.599 --> 00:39:00.400
side of the room. This took
her a very long time because she didn't

500
00:39:00.400 --> 00:39:02.559
want to make any noise whatso she
was trying to do it as quietly as

501
00:39:02.599 --> 00:39:08.679
possible. Luckily for her, it
worked. When Spec walked back into the

502
00:39:08.760 --> 00:39:13.559
room, he checked a purse for
some money, threw it on the ground,

503
00:39:13.800 --> 00:39:16.079
and walked back out of the homes
front door, leaving it wide open.

504
00:39:16.400 --> 00:39:21.440
He threw the knife into the Calumet
River before heading back to the shipyard

505
00:39:21.480 --> 00:39:25.079
Inn, where he fell asleep peacefully. Yeah. I just want to point

506
00:39:25.119 --> 00:39:31.440
out that multiple times there were opportunities, well, I don't want to say

507
00:39:31.480 --> 00:39:37.199
opportunities, there were chances where somebody
may have walked in on all of this

508
00:39:37.320 --> 00:39:44.239
happening. The girl's next door that
the other girls had been with before they

509
00:39:44.280 --> 00:39:49.199
came home, they had ordered a
pizza, and originally the pizza delivery man

510
00:39:49.320 --> 00:39:52.400
actually walked up to the house that
Richard was in and he was about to

511
00:39:52.480 --> 00:39:57.159
ring the bell till he realized that
it was the wrong house. Oh my

512
00:39:57.239 --> 00:40:00.880
god. Like, there were a
few different instances where something like that had

513
00:40:00.920 --> 00:40:07.360
happened throughout the Yeah, never got
to the point where anybody entered. So

514
00:40:07.519 --> 00:40:10.719
unfortunate, I mean, is it
unfortunate or fortunate because like, would he

515
00:40:10.800 --> 00:40:15.880
have just taken more lives. Judy
Dickton woke up around five am and heard

516
00:40:15.880 --> 00:40:21.039
an animal whimpering. She went about
her morning business, she had gotten up

517
00:40:21.039 --> 00:40:24.559
early to study, when she heard
the sound again. She opened her blinds

518
00:40:24.599 --> 00:40:30.840
to see Cora crouched on a window
ledge on the top floor, saying,

519
00:40:30.119 --> 00:40:35.559
Oh my god, they're all dead. She ran over and into the home,

520
00:40:35.760 --> 00:40:38.400
where she saw Gloria Davy face down
on the sofa with a strip of

521
00:40:38.400 --> 00:40:44.320
cloth around her neck and her hands
tied behind her. Judy quickly ran to

522
00:40:44.360 --> 00:40:47.840
grab the house mother so like the
person that was in control of all of

523
00:40:47.920 --> 00:40:55.000
the nurse's dorms, and the police
were called. Police were absolutely horrified by

524
00:40:55.039 --> 00:41:00.039
the scene, many of them vomiting
after being in the house. Like originally,

525
00:41:00.119 --> 00:41:04.000
one police officer went in and he
came out and he vomited, and

526
00:41:04.039 --> 00:41:06.760
the police were kind of like the
people that he called for backup were like,

527
00:41:06.840 --> 00:41:10.480
oh, can't be that bad.
But every single one of them vomited

528
00:41:10.719 --> 00:41:15.719
after they came out of the house. It was a blood bath. I'dn't

529
00:41:15.760 --> 00:41:22.599
imagine. Eight women had been brutally
murdered, one lone survivor Cora Amiro could

530
00:41:22.679 --> 00:41:27.039
hopefully provide the answers they needed,
and we're just going to take a quick

531
00:41:27.079 --> 00:41:35.760
ad break right here, and we
are back the final stretch. Cora provided

532
00:41:35.800 --> 00:41:38.079
a description and they managed to get
a sketch made up. Got to bless

533
00:41:38.119 --> 00:41:40.719
her. They brought her straight to
the hospital and she was able to get

534
00:41:40.760 --> 00:41:45.800
it. Imagine you've been through all
of that and you're still able to and

535
00:41:46.119 --> 00:41:50.920
keep in mind, like her English
is good, but it's not like it's

536
00:41:50.920 --> 00:41:54.840
not her first few native English speakers. She's able to get a sketched one.

537
00:41:54.960 --> 00:42:01.199
She just her strength is incredible.
God, absolutely, Like she was

538
00:42:01.280 --> 00:42:06.280
so worked up that they had to
give her a shot to calm her down

539
00:42:07.199 --> 00:42:10.159
because they had They were like,
we need to preserve her sanity. Yeah,

540
00:42:10.320 --> 00:42:15.840
the neighborhood was canvassed and detectives got
to work. One of the detectives

541
00:42:15.239 --> 00:42:19.239
had a thought, well, if
this guy was in the neighborhood, then

542
00:42:19.280 --> 00:42:22.280
he probably went to like the local
businesses. So he went to a gas

543
00:42:22.320 --> 00:42:28.320
station where a worker at the gas
station remembered a man who his boss had

544
00:42:28.320 --> 00:42:31.320
said, Okay, this guy came
in and left his bags here a couple

545
00:42:31.320 --> 00:42:35.159
of days ago, because he said
he was going to be doing some stuff,

546
00:42:35.159 --> 00:42:39.519
so he left his bags here and
like Cory's description, this man was

547
00:42:39.559 --> 00:42:44.000
tall, blonde, and he had
a Southern accent. While all of this

548
00:42:44.079 --> 00:42:47.119
is going on, Spec himself and
went to a bar where he learned the

549
00:42:47.119 --> 00:42:51.440
news that there was a survivor.
But he just continued to drink with a

550
00:42:51.480 --> 00:42:54.119
friend, like just chilling, and
I think he said something along the lines

551
00:42:54.159 --> 00:42:57.639
of that guy is an animal?
Whoever done that? Like he was like,

552
00:42:57.639 --> 00:43:00.880
oh my god, horrible? But
what was his name? Edgeane?

553
00:43:00.960 --> 00:43:04.440
He used to hang out with the
police officers and be like, God,

554
00:43:04.519 --> 00:43:07.480
that person sucks. Whoever done that? Wow, I'm so sorry you guys

555
00:43:07.519 --> 00:43:09.519
are having to find this guy.
This sucks, you know, like what

556
00:43:09.800 --> 00:43:15.079
is wrong with these people? The
police went to the National Maritime Union Hall

557
00:43:15.320 --> 00:43:19.199
and gave their description to a man
working there who he remembered a man like

558
00:43:19.239 --> 00:43:23.039
that and provided them with the name
Richard Spec. Which it's so they got

559
00:43:23.159 --> 00:43:28.480
very lucky and that somebody was there
that remembered him. They were very lucky

560
00:43:28.800 --> 00:43:31.679
like that people did because like I
won't lie, like I serve so many

561
00:43:31.679 --> 00:43:36.360
people in a day that like if
the police were to come into me and

562
00:43:36.440 --> 00:43:39.440
be like, did you serve this
man? I like, I couldn't tell

563
00:43:39.519 --> 00:43:43.239
you. Yeah, I don't know. I can't remember what accent he had,

564
00:43:43.320 --> 00:43:46.719
Jesus, Yeah, like I barely
remember what they bought, never mind,

565
00:43:46.880 --> 00:43:51.360
like they ordered food off me and
I'm straight away like what was that?

566
00:43:52.000 --> 00:43:54.400
Police got a last known number for
spec, which was his sister's house.

567
00:43:55.599 --> 00:44:01.159
She directed the police towards the shipyard
in called there and Richards. Richard

568
00:44:01.280 --> 00:44:05.920
was called to the phone. They
told him that they had a job for

569
00:44:06.000 --> 00:44:08.360
him, Den at the hall to
go out on the Great Sinclair. He

570
00:44:08.480 --> 00:44:12.920
said he would be Den in about
an hour. However, he never showed

571
00:44:13.000 --> 00:44:17.079
up. Richard knew that the Great
Sinclair was the boat that had already set

572
00:44:17.119 --> 00:44:21.639
sail, because it was the boat
that they had originally told him when he

573
00:44:21.679 --> 00:44:24.639
first got there. Okay, but
the job was given to the other person

574
00:44:24.679 --> 00:44:29.199
at Moreau. So I was going
to say, that's the clever idea to

575
00:44:29.320 --> 00:44:32.920
not tell him that it's the police
looking for him. But then they've gone

576
00:44:32.960 --> 00:44:36.840
and Une fucked up and told him
the name of the book that already set

577
00:44:36.880 --> 00:44:40.719
sail. Yep, they done goofed. They done goofed. The police sat

578
00:44:40.760 --> 00:44:45.599
and waited for Richard while he packed
his bags and called a cab. While

579
00:44:45.639 --> 00:44:47.960
he waited for the cab, he
calmly played the back of the bar.

580
00:44:49.360 --> 00:44:53.880
I'm sorry, but would you not
place some undercover police outside the hotel?

581
00:44:54.960 --> 00:44:59.639
Just in case he tried to flee? No, I guess not. No,

582
00:45:00.400 --> 00:45:04.880
there was okay, just me that
thought about that. Richard got a

583
00:45:04.960 --> 00:45:07.719
cab to the north of Chicago,
to the projects, and I say that

584
00:45:07.760 --> 00:45:13.239
with inverted comments. I don't know
if that's like politically correct. I don't

585
00:45:13.239 --> 00:45:16.400
fucking know. And he found himself
a hotel there. The FBI at this

586
00:45:16.480 --> 00:45:21.840
point had been called to see if
they had any fingerprints of Richard spec I

587
00:45:21.840 --> 00:45:24.199
mean to be fare he killed eight
people, damn sure, they're calling them

588
00:45:24.320 --> 00:45:30.039
FBI of course, due to his
massive amount of criminal history. They did,

589
00:45:30.840 --> 00:45:37.719
and an FBI agent personally flew them
out to Chicago, so he wanted

590
00:45:37.760 --> 00:45:39.360
to make sure they got there.
I think there was a striker. There

591
00:45:39.400 --> 00:45:45.280
was delays and flights or something,
so he personally flew the fingerprints out.

592
00:45:45.760 --> 00:45:47.599
And it's mad to think like that. They don't just have a computer system

593
00:45:47.599 --> 00:45:51.760
at this point, like this is
what the nineteen seventies. I think to

594
00:45:51.840 --> 00:45:53.920
mention the victims, like every single
one of them wanted to be a nurse.

595
00:45:53.960 --> 00:45:58.440
Every single Filipino woman that was there
was sending money home to support their

596
00:45:58.480 --> 00:46:04.599
families. If they weren't. Everything
American woman that was there had written statements,

597
00:46:05.320 --> 00:46:08.440
well, a couple of the American
women that were there had written statements

598
00:46:08.480 --> 00:46:12.239
about how they wanted to be a
nurse because they didn't like to see people

599
00:46:12.280 --> 00:46:16.440
suffering and they like to look after
people. Like these were good women that

600
00:46:16.599 --> 00:46:22.400
just got snuffed out for absolutely no
reason. You know, they were getting

601
00:46:22.440 --> 00:46:25.119
married, They had their own lives
and cuts really really deep, and you

602
00:46:25.519 --> 00:46:30.559
remember, like this podcast and everything
that we consume, these are real people.

603
00:46:31.119 --> 00:46:36.920
Oh yeah. Spec left the hotel
that he was originally staying at after

604
00:46:36.960 --> 00:46:39.480
he found some drinking buddies that evening, and he went to stay at the

605
00:46:39.480 --> 00:46:44.639
same hotel that they were staying at. Not long after he left his first

606
00:46:44.679 --> 00:46:47.599
hotel, the police came in looking
for him because even the taxi driver was

607
00:46:47.679 --> 00:46:50.800
like, why do you want to
come out here? Like he didn't give

608
00:46:50.840 --> 00:46:52.960
the taxi driver an exact location.
He's like, just drive me out to,

609
00:46:53.039 --> 00:46:57.920
like where where all these people hang
out. The guys hang out.

610
00:46:58.239 --> 00:47:01.599
He spent the night with his drinking
buddies talking about getting out of Chicago and

611
00:47:01.639 --> 00:47:06.559
train hopping. So basically they had
spoken about like they had done some train

612
00:47:06.639 --> 00:47:08.880
hopping in the past, and he
was like, yeah, let's do it.

613
00:47:09.000 --> 00:47:13.159
Let's let's get out of here and
just some train hopping. You guys,

614
00:47:13.199 --> 00:47:17.079
come on. But even they weren't
too sure on him. They knew

615
00:47:17.079 --> 00:47:22.320
that there was something fucking here about
Respec. And these these are not guys

616
00:47:22.360 --> 00:47:25.480
that are, like, you know, upstanding members of society. But even

617
00:47:25.639 --> 00:47:31.880
they were like, mmmmmmm, something's
not right here. So SPEC's prints were

618
00:47:31.880 --> 00:47:36.159
confirmed to be a match on the
prince found at the crime scene, and

619
00:47:36.239 --> 00:47:39.280
a rest warrant was made and an
app was put out for him. It

620
00:47:39.280 --> 00:47:44.119
didn't take long for his picture to
be splashed on all of the newspapers with

621
00:47:44.159 --> 00:47:52.559
accurate physical descript with accurate physical descriptions
following, including all of his tattoos,

622
00:47:52.719 --> 00:47:57.840
which as we know, are very
very unique. He went into a news

623
00:47:57.920 --> 00:48:00.880
agents one day and he saw his
own photos on the papers. He knew

624
00:48:00.880 --> 00:48:05.920
what he had to do. Next. He bought a bottle of wine and

625
00:48:05.960 --> 00:48:08.800
brought it back to his hotel.
Now this is more of a motel where

626
00:48:08.800 --> 00:48:14.239
there's like the rooms are separated by
curtains. He drank the bottle, broke

627
00:48:14.320 --> 00:48:19.239
it and used the broken shards of
glass to slice his wrists open. You

628
00:48:20.320 --> 00:48:24.679
little for all of the bragging that
you did for being in jail before.

629
00:48:24.760 --> 00:48:29.519
What you can't take the heat?
Now? What's the matter there, Richard?

630
00:48:30.400 --> 00:48:35.079
You're afraid nobody's going like you because
you murdered eight innocent women like you

631
00:48:35.119 --> 00:48:38.840
don't do well in prison, do
they do they? Darling? Interesting?

632
00:48:39.920 --> 00:48:44.320
He was found by one of his
drinking friends from the night before, who

633
00:48:44.360 --> 00:48:49.199
at this point knew what he had
done. This guy anonymously called the police,

634
00:48:49.519 --> 00:48:53.400
but they never came. So this
guy found Richard fucking bleeding out and

635
00:48:53.559 --> 00:48:59.199
was like, police, Hello,
I just found this fucking guy that killed

636
00:48:59.239 --> 00:49:04.840
those eight nurse is he's like tried
to commit suicide? Can y'all come up

637
00:49:04.840 --> 00:49:08.039
here? And they're like eh,
even though they were aware that he was

638
00:49:08.079 --> 00:49:12.639
in the area. Richard was taken
to Cook Kenny Hospital, where he was

639
00:49:12.679 --> 00:49:16.000
being treated for his injuries. As
his doctor was wiping the blood from his

640
00:49:16.159 --> 00:49:22.280
arm, he noticed Richard's born to
raise Hell tattoo. He grabbed the back

641
00:49:22.400 --> 00:49:27.239
of Richard's neck and squeezed hard.
What's your name, he asked. Richard

642
00:49:27.239 --> 00:49:31.079
told him his name and asked for
water. Did you give the nurses any

643
00:49:31.079 --> 00:49:35.760
water? Was the doctor's reply.
Now, the doctor said that this was

644
00:49:35.840 --> 00:49:37.760
more of kind of a murmur,
like did you give the nurses any water?

645
00:49:38.360 --> 00:49:40.840
But I like to believe that he
said it out let, and Richard

646
00:49:42.000 --> 00:49:45.000
was like, fuck, you know, yeah, it's fun to think that.

647
00:49:45.960 --> 00:49:47.880
Yeah, I want to think of
it in a superhero in a way,

648
00:49:47.920 --> 00:49:52.119
you know. The doctor called in
an officer that was already on the

649
00:49:52.119 --> 00:49:58.440
hall, and that officer then called
everybody else this is incredible. So Cora

650
00:49:58.599 --> 00:50:06.840
was given her opportunity to identify Spec. She got dressed in her nurse's uniform,

651
00:50:06.840 --> 00:50:09.679
and she went into SPEC's room,
pretending to be on unds with the

652
00:50:09.719 --> 00:50:20.400
other nurses. I can incredible.
Can you imagine how shit bricking you would

653
00:50:20.400 --> 00:50:23.519
be doing? I just I can't
imagine. She lasted three and a half

654
00:50:23.599 --> 00:50:30.239
minutes before she left the room and
emotionally confirmed to officers that this was the

655
00:50:30.239 --> 00:50:34.400
man who had sought at her friends
who had intruded into her home, had

656
00:50:34.480 --> 00:50:39.599
told them that no, you'll be
safe. She watched him rape her colleague

657
00:50:39.639 --> 00:50:46.559
and her friend, and she heard
him murder her friends. She had to

658
00:50:46.719 --> 00:50:52.000
hide, and then she had to
go into his room and be his nurse

659
00:50:52.119 --> 00:50:57.480
for three minutes and so pretend to
like be like, do you need anything?

660
00:50:57.519 --> 00:51:00.320
Can I get you anything, just
so that she could IDENTI to fire

661
00:51:00.360 --> 00:51:07.079
him like that takes, honest,
absolutely incredible. He was found competent to

662
00:51:07.159 --> 00:51:10.039
stand trial, thankfully, but he
was fun. I believe to be a

663
00:51:10.079 --> 00:51:15.039
sociopath. Oh, you'd have to
be to behave like that of course.

664
00:51:16.039 --> 00:51:21.320
Now his trial was moved out of
Chicago to Prioria, three hours outside of

665
00:51:21.400 --> 00:51:24.480
Chicago, and it took six weeks
to select a jury alone. They had

666
00:51:24.519 --> 00:51:28.960
to take him out because everybody knew
about the crimes. So he has to

667
00:51:29.000 --> 00:51:32.000
be given a fair trial. I
which is like, oh, he did

668
00:51:32.039 --> 00:51:37.199
it, But at the same time, I get it, I get it,

669
00:51:37.239 --> 00:51:42.079
But he is entitled to a fair
trial. Spec was given the death

670
00:51:42.119 --> 00:51:46.679
sentence, which was sent commuted to
life in prison after capital punishment was abolished

671
00:51:47.159 --> 00:51:50.840
in that state. No, not
state, it's just in that state.

672
00:51:52.159 --> 00:51:55.320
He died of a heart attack in
nineteen ninety five, and his body so

673
00:51:55.760 --> 00:52:00.559
I found a little bit of different
information. So I wrote that his body

674
00:52:00.639 --> 00:52:05.519
was not claimed by any family,
that it was cremated. Yeah, I

675
00:52:05.559 --> 00:52:10.360
didn't hear also that his sister actually
did claim his remains, and because she

676
00:52:10.480 --> 00:52:15.440
was afraid that somebody would desecrate a
grave, she did get him cremated and

677
00:52:15.800 --> 00:52:19.880
spread his ashes somewhere. That it's
not he was their brother, do you

678
00:52:19.920 --> 00:52:22.679
know, Like I mean, yeah, you grow up with that person,

679
00:52:22.119 --> 00:52:28.840
you don't expect them to do something. So yeah, and I'm sure it's

680
00:52:28.880 --> 00:52:37.199
hard to separate like all those memories
you have with like what he'd done,

681
00:52:37.760 --> 00:52:39.159
because you'd almost be like, no, because that's not my brother, Like

682
00:52:39.199 --> 00:52:44.239
my brother wouldn't do that. Yeah, Like okay, yeah, maybe he

683
00:52:44.360 --> 00:52:49.039
stole some cigarettes, he stole the
paycheck, He don't the odd random thing

684
00:52:49.360 --> 00:52:52.800
that's like you'd be like, yeah, he's done some things that aren't great,

685
00:52:52.920 --> 00:52:55.840
but like murder eight women, Like
no, like that's in one night.

686
00:52:57.119 --> 00:53:01.960
I always feel sorry for like the
I always feel sorry for the killer's

687
00:53:02.239 --> 00:53:07.559
family. They are victims too,
because they are in a way they are

688
00:53:07.599 --> 00:53:14.320
because like they're not only is their
name tarnished, but also how do you

689
00:53:14.400 --> 00:53:21.199
mourn someone that's done something so horrible? You're looking back you're always always always

690
00:53:21.239 --> 00:53:24.199
going to look back with rose colored
glasses. You're also going to be like,

691
00:53:24.480 --> 00:53:28.400
is there anything I could have done
to stop them? Or is there

692
00:53:28.400 --> 00:53:31.880
anything I could have done to make
him a different person? Or do you

693
00:53:31.920 --> 00:53:36.559
know, like that's You're going to
have so many questions running through your head.

694
00:53:36.800 --> 00:53:39.760
And we're saying this as fortunately people
who have never had to experience this

695
00:53:39.880 --> 00:53:45.639
kind of situation, very fortunately.
But I don't know. We can only

696
00:53:45.679 --> 00:53:49.840
imagine that these are the kind of
questions that you would ask yourself, Yeah,

697
00:53:49.840 --> 00:53:52.760
well this is it. No.
In nineteen ninety six, so a

698
00:53:52.840 --> 00:53:59.159
year after he died, a video
was shared to a news outlet showing Richard

699
00:53:59.599 --> 00:54:05.840
shortly now with breasts. He was
seen doing drugs and having sex with another

700
00:54:05.880 --> 00:54:09.079
inmate. When asked about the murders, he didn't seem to have any regret

701
00:54:09.239 --> 00:54:14.119
at all. He said, quote, if they only knew how much fun

702
00:54:14.159 --> 00:54:20.039
I was having, they'd turn me
loose. So he had illegally gotten some

703
00:54:20.079 --> 00:54:24.480
sort of hormonal drugs into the prison
so that he would grow breasts, so

704
00:54:24.519 --> 00:54:30.519
it would make it easier for other
inmates to see him as more of a

705
00:54:30.519 --> 00:54:36.519
sex object. I suppose because he
decided and this is what is believed,

706
00:54:36.639 --> 00:54:42.760
that it's easier if I turned myself
into a sex object rather than be raped

707
00:54:42.800 --> 00:54:49.800
and abused by other inmates. Yeah. Yeah, like he got titties,

708
00:54:50.920 --> 00:54:55.000
Richard. I know, like you
murdered people and that's not normal. And

709
00:54:55.960 --> 00:55:00.320
you know you've done some other things
that I said weren't nor well. And

710
00:55:00.400 --> 00:55:05.119
every time I think that you can't
get any weirder, you get yourself some

711
00:55:05.199 --> 00:55:09.559
titties. Yeah, okay. And
at one point when he was being interviewed

712
00:55:09.599 --> 00:55:13.000
in prison, they're like, so
what would you do if you got out?

713
00:55:13.119 --> 00:55:15.559
He was like, I'd open my
own grocery store chain. That's what

714
00:55:15.599 --> 00:55:25.840
I would do. Richard, you
are the definition of Dululu. Got myself

715
00:55:25.880 --> 00:55:32.480
some new tits. I would open
up a grocery store chain. Okay,

716
00:55:32.840 --> 00:55:40.079
you're okay, okay, okay,
alright, you do you on? You

717
00:55:40.199 --> 00:55:45.719
do you? So? That is
Richard spec I honestly thought this was going

718
00:55:45.800 --> 00:55:50.440
to be a longer episode because I
spent so fucking long researching this asshole.

719
00:55:51.039 --> 00:55:55.559
My heart goes out to those nurses
because all they wanted to do was help

720
00:55:55.719 --> 00:56:00.199
people, every single one of them. They wanted to help families, they

721
00:56:00.239 --> 00:56:07.039
wanted to help the people that were
sick. They just had no badness within

722
00:56:07.079 --> 00:56:12.000
them at all. Even when an
intruder enters their home and says I'm going

723
00:56:12.039 --> 00:56:15.800
to rob you, they're like,
he's not dangerous, you guys, it's

724
00:56:15.840 --> 00:56:22.920
fine. Yeah, that's yeah,
yeah, not okay, Robert, you're

725
00:56:22.000 --> 00:56:29.079
not okay. I'm surprised we didn't
call him dick throughout this whole episode.

726
00:56:30.360 --> 00:56:34.920
Nope, but for some reason I
came up with Robert. Yeah, my

727
00:56:34.960 --> 00:56:40.960
brain is okay, I promise.
Yeah. So that was this week's episode.
