This jail if famous for being the one John Dillinger broke out of using a fake wooden gun painted black with shoe polish.
If it was a suicide note, then you could say six killings now.
Wish I'd said that. That was a perfect response, Sax.
Too bad he did not kill number six, first.
Too bad he didn't start his killing spree this way.
" He finally killed the right person..."
What took him so long ?
The current Lake County Jail was occupied in 1975, but in 2000 an extension was added to the jail. The old jail (which Dillinger escaped from) was built in 1882.
Cheers!
Yeah, pity he didn't start there.
His name was last on the list
Now Our Lord can deal with this killer.
I just sneezed. That is more important.
This part concerns me, who are the other two poor victims, and will their families ever know what happened to them?
Sentenced for killing three, he claims five in suicide note.
I hope the skunk had the decency to ID the graves of the other two.
he was convicted of 3, admitted to 5.. do the authorities know who the other 2 were?
Maust pleaded guilty last year to the 2003 killings of teenagers Michael Dennis, Nicholas James and James Raganyi.
Their bodies were entombed in concrete in his Hammond basement.
Maust also was convicted in the killing of Jimmy McClister, a teenager, in Germany in 1974 when Maust was a U.S. Army private.
And he was convicted of killing Chicago teen Donald Jones in Elgin in 1981.
In his note, Maust described driving 600 miles from Indiana to find a place to kill himself after he murdered the three teenagers in Indiana.
He said he stayed at a motel where he intended to write a letter to his victims' families telling them where their sons were "and what I did to them."
But Maust said he decided to return to Indiana to "face up to what I did."
But Maust did not turn himself in.
Hammond Police Lt. Ron Johnson interviewed Maust after Raganyi's mother called to say her son was hanging out with a 49-year-old man before he ran away.
"The first time I talked to him, he smirked," Johnson said
I agree with Rika: this article does a poor job of describing the contents of the suicide note and helping regarding the German boy who was killed. Are Germans now only learning that this serial killer killed one of their citizens?
If so, maybe the article does not talk about this because family is being notified right now.
But the article could have said that.
Thanks.
Shoulda probably read the rest of the story, huh? :-)
