I realize this is way off topic, but this recent auto accident happened in my neck of the woods.
I'm not old enough to remember when Fugate and Starkweather went on the killing spree, but the murders have inspired several movies and they are pretty famous. (infamous).


I'm just old enough to remember Fugate and Starkweather in the news--a couple of young killers terrorizing the countryside. I don't know if she was a willing participant or not.
Besides the movies mentioned in the article, I've always thought that Charles Starkweather inspired the name of Woody Allen's inept criminal in "Take the Money and Run"--Virgil Starkwell.
