Richard Speck killed eight nurses who were living together in a Chicago townhouse in July 1966. In April 1967 a jury found him guilty of the murders and recommended he receive the death penalty. When the Supreme Court declared the death penalty unconstitutional in 1972, Speck was resentenced to 400 to 1,200 years in prison (the sentence was lowered to 300 years in 1973). He died of a heart attack in December 1991.
