01.29.1958

Between November 1957 and January 1958, 19-year-old high school dropout Charles Starkweather embarked on a murderous spree in Nebraska and Wyoming accompanied by his 14-year-old girlfriend, Caril Ann Fugate. Starkweather, whose case inspired the 1974 film “Badlands” and Bruce Springsteen’s song “Nebraska,” killed 11 people before surrendering after a high-speed chase with Wyoming sheriff’s deputies. He was executed in 1959; Fugate served 17 years in prison and was released in 1976.
