Notes

General Note
Previously published as: The crime of the century : Richard Speck and the murder of eight student nurses / by Dennis L. Breo and William J. Martin. New York : Bantam Books, 1993.
Description
On July 14, 1966, Richard Speck broke into a quiet Chicago townhouse and strangled and killed eight young nurses in a violent sexual rampage. Only one nurse survived by hiding under a bed. On the fiftieth anniversary of the murders, Martin and Breo recreate that blood-soaked night and reveal behind-the-scenes descriptions of Speck, the nurses, the manhunt and the trail. Kunkle compares Speck's trial to that of John Wayne Gacy thirteen years later.
