Summary

July 13th, 1966, was a scorching summer day in Chicago. As night fell, the residents of 2319 East 100 Street turned in for the evening, desperately seeking relief from the heat. Around 10: 30 pm, Corazon Amurao, a young nursing student, walked into the upstairs bedroom she shared with her roommate, Merlita.
She locked the door behind her and got ready for bed.
Corazon climbed to the top bunk and laid down..
About a half hour later, they heard four soft knocks on her door. She opened it, expecting to see one of their housemates, but a strange man stood on the other side. A tall man with combed back hair and a badly pockmarked face. He was dressed all in black and in his right hand, he held a gun.
In today's part two episode, we're talking about Richard Speck, one of the most infamous mass murderers in American history.

0:00.0	Welcome to 10-minute murder, brief and bingeable true crime, and welcome to part two of Richard Speck.
0:24.0	I'm Joe, the host, and you know I usually like to keep these episodes to 10 minutes or so.
0:28.7	And this part two, I kept the part one to 10 minutes, but the part two, no guarantees.
0:34.6	I tried to time it out so that it would be around 10 minutes, ballpark 10 minutes, maybe a little bit longer. It will be a little bit longer. I almost told you a lie. It's going to be a little bit longer than 10 minutes. How much longer? I don't know yet. Because obviously I haven't started talking yet. But we'll find out together. If you're brand new to the podcast and jumping into this
0:54.4	episode and you have not listened to the previous one, you're going to miss some stuff. So go back
0:58.8	and listen to Part 1 of Richard Speck. This is part two, and let's get to it.
1:08.6	In 1966, 24-year-old Richard Speck returned home to Monmouth, Illinois, leaving behind most of his family and an outstanding arrest warrant.
1:18.5	He got a job as a carpenter, but lost it when he made a habit of skipping work to spend time at the bar.
1:23.9	Richard tried to reconnect with his older sisters, who still lived in Monmouth, but none of them really

1:37.6	drinking heavily and committing acts of violence.
1:40.5	He also picked up a reputation of being a braggart and a liar.
1:44.6	In bar conversations, he claimed that he left Dallas because he'd killed a man and spent
1:49.3	time smuggling drugs into the country from Mexico.
1:52.5	He probably didn't do that stuff.
1:54.5	But he was definitely bragging about it.
1:56.6	Just after midnight on April 2, 1966, Speck broke into the home of Virgil Harris, a 65-year-old
2:03.8	woman. When rifling through the empty house, Speck heard Harris return home. He rushed to the front
2:09.5	door and grabbed her. He pushed a knife up to her throat and threatened to kill her if she screamed.
2:14.9	He pulled her into the bedroom and ordered her to remove her clothes before sexually
2:18.9	assaulting her. Then he tied her up and fled. Harris managed to free herself and get to the hospital
