I was 7 years old, living in the Chicago area at the time of the murders. I was a very good reader, so by that time, was regularly reading the newspaper. How well I remember seeing the frightening Chicago Tribune front page with the photos of Speck's victims. It gives me the chills 40 years later.

If there ever was an example of pure evil, it was the monstrosity known as Richard Speck.

Wow, how scary for a 7 year old. My friend's grandfather was the judge in the Speck case. How sickening.

To the end of his days, Speck was proud of the murders and the notoriety they brought him. He never showed a scintilla of remorse.
