Show Notes

Before Richard Speck murdered eight student nurses in Chicago, there were years of warning signs no one stopped.

In Part One of our coverage, Murder Unscripted explores Speck’s childhood, his deeply troubled relationships, and the violent misogyny that fueled his crimes. We examine his belief that “all women are whores,” the rage that defined his interactions, and his first known murder — Mary Pierce in Illinois — a chilling precursor to what was to come.

This episode lays the groundwork for understanding how Richard Speck became one of America’s most notorious killers — and why the system failed to intervene.

Part Two continues with the night that shocked the nation.
