Misery loves company, as the saying goes.
Born in Illinois, Richard Speck spent his pre-teen and early adult years in Dallas, Texas. A below average student who had begun drinking at the age of 13, he quickly fell in with the wrong crowd and constantly got into trouble. He dropped out of vocational school but eventually found work as a delivery truck driver for the 7Up company.
One of the clients along his delivery route was the Carousel Club, owned by mobster Jack Ruby. Speck was fond of bragging how he once cheated Ruby out of $36 by making a beverage delivery that was short a few cases.
Jack Ruby was the man who later shot and killed Lee Harvey Oswald, alleged assassin of President John F. Kennedy. You can't make this stuff up.
Read more about the life of Richard Speck, the tragic mass murder of the eight student nurses, and the false official narrative of this heinous crime that has never been exposed ... until now.
Richard Speck and the Eight Nurses: Deconstructing A Mass Murder is available at all online book retailers in ebook and paperback format.
