"Dead people are all on the same level" - Charles Starkweather


Charles Starkweather was executed in the Electric Chair on this date, 49 years ago.
Starkweather, the"Rebel Without a Clue" commenced a murder spree that was unparalleled for more than three decades. He and his girlfriend/accomplice, Caril ann Fugate, left 11 dead in Nebraska and Wyoming. Their deadly road trip lasted just under 2 months.
You may have heard of him in such films as Natural Born Killers or Badlands, though perhaps killing was the only thing Starkweather excelled at.
