Summary
Charles Starkweather wasn’t your average small-town kid, and his crime spree wasn’t your average headline. Dragging along Caril Ann Fugate, barely a teenager herself, this pair tore through 1950s Nebraska in a brutal blur nobody saw coming. Was Caril just a scared kid caught in Starkweather’s storm, or something darker? We break down the messy, violent truth behind the headlines—because sometimes, real life is stranger and messier than fiction.
