I'm 59 and grew up in Chicago. During the '50's and 60's horrible murders took place, especially of children. I can still remember 50 years later the names of some of the children who were murdered.

And I can still remember my mom waking me up one Saturday morning to tell me about the 8 nurses who were murdered the night before. The ones Richard Speck killed.

I was very watchful as I walked to elementary school by myself. I learned at a young age the world could be a scary place.

I do remember that, and I lived quite a ways from there. I think the trial is in the caselaw books.

There was also an awful murder of about four women on an outing to a remote area of Starved Rock State Park at LaSalle, looks like about 60 miles sw of Chicago. I don't believe they ever caught the killer.

Both happened a long time ago.
