I remember reading that for years Richard Speck who murdered 8 nurses in Chicago, used to receive mailbags full of love letters. In one episode of “Frasier”, he says, “men on death row can get women to marry them, but I can’t get one to sit through coffee.” I think of that everytime I read an article like this.
When I was in jr hs and that Richard Speck thing happened we were in our first day of class. The teacher was reading the roll call, and when he got to Bob Speck he actually stopped talking and looked up. There was a pregnant pause.
We all got it. There was some nervous laughter. Interesting to read your comment.
