3.0 out of 5 stars
It happened in my hometown!!!!!!, August 24, 2010
This review is from: Investigative Reports: Richard Speck [VHS] (VHS Tape)
I thought I heard that in the 1980s, a man in Canada killed many nurses. However, this says it happened in the 1960s in Chicago. My mother worked as a nurse in the city at that time. I wasn't expecting this to hit close to home, but it did!
This was a good "Biography" installment. It's just as good as the one on serial killers like Richard Ramirez, Jeffrey Dahmer, or John Wayne Gacy.
The work doesn't just cover the tragic murders. It speaks of his childhood and crises that may have deformed his character. The work wants to keep your attention, but it does not go over the top like a horror film would.
What was most important to me was the aftermath. They show how Speck in prison wore panties, grew jugs, and was traded among darker-hued inmates. For those who like jus talionis, they may really like seeing this part.
