A remarkable vintage issue of LIFE Magazine dated July 29, 1966, featuring the chilling cover story “The Nine Nurses” by Loudon Wainwright. The issue documents the infamous Richard Speck case, following the brutal murders of eight student nurses in Chicago and the subsequent investigation that shocked the nation.
The striking cover features actual evidence from the crime scene, including Chicago Police Department evidence tape and a fingerprint card recovered from the building where the murders occurred. The issue offers a fascinating contemporary look at one of the most notorious criminal cases of the 1960s, as reported while the investigation and trial were still unfolding.
A compelling piece of original true-crime history and an excellent addition to any collection of vintage crime publications, Richard Speck memorabilia, or historic LIFE Magazine issues.
