Inside lived a group of student nurses- young women who had moved to the city to train at South Chicago Community Hospital, sharing the home while they studied, worked long shifts, and built lives dedicated to caring for others. But that morning, the house was eerily silent... Inside, investigators would uncover one of the most shocking mass murders in American history. 8 young nurses had been brutally killed over the course of a single night. The crime scene was chaotic... But even more incredible was one detail investigators discovered later. Somehow… one woman inside that house had survived. For hours, she had hidden silently, under one of the beds. And the testimony she would eventually give would become the key to identifying the man responsible. The suspect who emerged would soon become one of the most infamous killers in American criminal history: Richard B. Speck. But as the investigation unfolded, disturbing details about that night began to surface... including what Richard claimed happened inside the house, and the version of events he would later give from prison decades later...
