Episode 103: The Nurse Killer From Hell (Case of Richard Speck)
The 7 nursing students were huddled in their dorm room bunk beds - panicking about what to do next. They had been tied up by an intruder.
They waited till he came back into the room and he pointed at a nurse “you.” He escorted her out and tortured her for 30 minutes. She would never return.
One by one - like a ritual the killer escorted out nurses to their death.
The hostage room went from 7 to 6 then 5…4…3…2…
Then there was one.
How will she escape?
