July 13th, 1966, Richard Speck slithered his way into a Chicago townhouse that served as a dormitory for student nurses. On this night, Richard would kill 8 young women, leading them 1 by 1, as Richard would later say, like “lambs to the slaughter”. We know the details of this horrific night because there was someone at the crime scene who witnessed the horror he inflicted firsthand. A survivor. A young woman who would’ve been Speck’s 9th victim, but instead she would play a key role in making sure this vile, murderous man would never kill again by identifying him, right down to the memorable tattoo etched into his forearm that read “Born to Raise Hell”. And raise hell, he did! So today my friends, we are taking a deep look into what shaped notorious mass murderer Richard Speck and the events that transpired in his life leading up to that bloody night.

7 RecommendationsJanuary of 1988, in the close-knit community of Jefferson Township, NJ, Thomas Sullivan Sr. woke up to a fire in his home and his wife and oldest son nowhere to be found. Betty Ann Sullivan would later be found dead in her basement. She had been bludgeoned, stabbed and her eyes removed. The following day, 14 year old Thomas Sullivan Jr.’s body was discovered outside of a neighbor’s house. He had “allegedly” taken his own life by mutilating his wrist before nearly decapitating himself. A suicide note would reveal that Tommy had been involved in Satanism and the occult which, in turn, fueled the fires of the Satanic Panic. Officially ruled a murder/suicide, is this case really solved? Join us today as we take a look at this case and try to make some sense of this horrific tragedy. https://uppbeat.io/t/pecan-pie/creepy License code: EBBRRGVUUHB09JUK
