Richard Benjamin Speck (December 6, 1941 – December 5, 1991) was an American mass murderer who systematically tortured, raped, and murdered eight student nurses from South Chicago Community Hospital on July 14, 1966.
He was sentenced to death, but that sentence was later overturned due to issues with jury selection at his trial. Speck died of a heart attack after 25 years in prison. In 1996, video tapes featuring Speck were shown before the Illinois State Legislature to highlight some of the illegal activity that took place in prisons.
Early life and crimes
Monmouth, 1941–1950
Richard Benjamin Speck was born in the village of Kirkwood, Illinois, the seventh of eight children of Benjamin Franklin Speck and Mary Margaret Carbaugh Speck. The family moved to Monmouth, Illinois shortly after Speck's birth. Speck and his younger sister, Carolyn, born in 1943, were much younger than their four older sisters and two older brothers (Speck's oldest brother, Robert, died at the age of 23 in an automobile accident in 1952). Speck's father worked as a packer at Western Stoneware in Monmouth and had previously worked as a farmer and logger. Speck was very close to his father, who died in 1947 from a heart attack at the age of 53. Speck was six years old at the time.

Richard Benjamin Speck (December 6, 1941 – December 5, 1991) was an American mass murderer who systematically tortured, raped, and murdered eight student nurses from South Chicago Community Hospital on July 14, 1966.
He was sentenced to death, but that sentence was later overturned due to issues with jury selection at his trial. Speck died of a heart attack after 25 years in prison. In 1996, video tapes featuring Speck were shown before the Illinois State Legislature to highlight some of the illegal activity that took place in prisons.
Early life and crimes
Monmouth, 1941–1950
Richard Benjamin Speck was born in the village of Kirkwood, Illinois, the seventh of eight children of Benjamin Franklin Speck and Mary Margaret Carbaugh Speck. The family moved to Monmouth, Illinois shortly after Speck's birth. Speck and his younger sister, Carolyn, born in 1943, were much younger than their four older sisters and two older brothers (Speck's oldest brother, Robert, died at the age of 23 in an automobile accident in 1952). Speck's father worked as a packer at Western Stoneware in Monmouth and had previously worked as a farmer and logger. Speck was very close to his father, who died in 1947 from a heart attack at the age of 53. Speck was six years old at the time.
In my sleep, in my sleep last night In my dream, in my dream last night In the dark, in the dark last night In the hall, walked Richard Speck last night [Going back. Going way back. Rewind. Chichichichichichi. Going way back to 1966. My mother was talking with her sister about some nurses who were murdered up in Seattle late in the night. Her description of these murders was vivid, and she accurately identified with the fear that the surviving must have felt, all curled up underneath that bed listening to her friends get killed one at a time. Waiting for the moment she too would be discovered and disposed of. Hence, in my overcrowded childhood mind, these murders played out time and time again like a sickly off-Broadway production that keeps getting revived. And so, sometimes in my dreams, Richard Speck walks the hall at night.]
After a stint in private practice, Flaum became an assistant state’s attorney in Cook County and was one of the prosecutors in the trial of mass killer RichardSpeck... law professor Richard Posner.
I remember when RichardSpeck killed the nurses in Chicago. I was living there and in law school at the time. I remember contemplating who would agree to represent such an evil man. Did a lawyer have to represent these ... .
RichardSpeck. Richard Speck, center, is brought to the Joliet prison Diagnostic Center for processing after being given the death sentence at his trial in Peoria on June 5, 1967 ... Richard Speck attack survivor.
“WardenJohn J ... 7, 1924 ... “If we are too good to them, they could trample upon us ... Henry C ... 1, 1934 ... 2 aired a 1988 videotape showing mass murderer RichardSpeck claiming to have sex with another inmate and access to drugs while incarcerated in Stateville.

You couldn’t escape to Chicago — killer clown John Wayne Gacy and nurse killer RichardSpeck came out of there ... was home to Speck; Rapp’s mother was friends with the nurses that Speck killed.
