There are at least 4 different tv programs that deal with vanishings or missing persons and this case never gets the publicity that may clear this thing up . My belief and the belief of a C.P.D. Detective on the Speck case has always been that Speck was somehow responsible . He was in port and...

If there is one accepted fact in this case it is that all 3 women left their blanket and belongings to escape 95 degree temperatures and got on a boat. There is little question about this fact . This was witnessed by dozens of people. What happened after that is a mystery. ..... An abortion...

Thanks tatertot for finding this story.Reporter Dick Wylie has long suspected a local lothario with ties to abortionists. He has named him as Ralph Largo Jr. who died last year. With the death of Wylie`s suspect in this case, he is now free to lay out his theory without libel lawsuit...

I Googled for Chicago`s cold case file on this case and found this interesting article that sheds light on Wylie`s theories of foul play. I believe that i know the "8 ball tavern" that is mentioned in the article. It was located in Hodgkins, IL , very near the deep tunnel entrance and just...

Thanks to Okeefe58 for reliving and relating this horrendous event so as to shed a different light on the loss of the three women from Illinois. It opens the mostly unexplored possibility that the women were not taken by boat but that they may have been lured "Bundy style" to a remote spot.It...

This crime occurred when i was 2 months old but it was a case that was always talked about on the south side of Chicago. It was said that anybody who had a criminal record at all was brought in for questioning. I had a co-worker that claimed that for a day or two that he was a prime suspect. As...

You are right Joellegirl, this is a very frustrating case and as an earlier poster said , it makes you wish that you could have been there to warn them not to get into that boat. I mentioned this case to 3 seniors this week and none remembered the case . i believe that it is all because of...

Richard Speck is the ugliest man that i have ever seen. His face was the face of the "Boogeyman".As a 10 year old child in Chicago in 1966 the face of Richard Speck was burnished into my mind as the face of evil and the few days that he was on the loose were the most terrifying days of my life...

(1)You talked about the coincidence of 3 friends going to the beach together and disappearing. It is no coincidence when friends get together...... but it is a hell of a coincidence that even though in a 55 year period of an area around Chicago, multiple women were abducted and murdered only on...

As a life long Chicagoan who has spent 20 years in the trucking industry working for real outfit guys, i can tell you that your contract killer sent by Silas Jayne theory is idiotic and laughable. I`m sorry but there is no other word. Our company`s owner was sponsored by Marshall Caifano as a...

http://www.carpenoctem.tv/killers/speck.html This article , if accurate puts Speck a scant 20 miles away on the same body of water rand on the same day as the 3 girls.He had a week of work behind him and maybe a paycheck in his pocket . If he wanted to rent or steal a boat, he was in the...

The article at this address says that Speck was released from his ship on July 2 at Indiana Harbor. This puts him 20 miles away on the very day the girls disappeared.http://www.carpenoctem.tv/killers/speck.html

( 1) You say that Speck could not keep his mouth shut but the fact is that he never confessed to his murders with the exception of that sex and cocaine prison tape that came out after his death where he said "it just wasn`t their night" in reference to the 8 nurses. This was a crime for which...

Kevmob was pretty quick to dismiss Richard Speck as a "disorganized" killer who was somehow was organized enough managed to murder 8 women only 11 days after these 3 young women went missing but thinks that the Chicago Syndicate would whack 3 innocents who liked to go horsey back riding...

As somebody stated earlier, the chances of anyone like Silas Jayne planning this are non-existent.Too many variables involved. Their abduction was obviously a crime of opportunity and i can not believe that no one has stated the obvious suspect. Richard Speck. His ship came in in mid June and...
