Eight nurses. One killer. A night carved into the darkest corners of true-crime history.
On July 13th, 1966, serial killer Richard Speck stepped into a South Side Chicago townhouse and turned it into a slaughterhouse. What unfolded inside those walls was not just murder—it was domination, terror, and slow, methodical brutality. One by one, the women were corralled, tied, silenced, and forced to face the kind of violence that leaves claw marks on history.
This episode drags you deeper than the headlines ever dared:
into the gasping fear inside that cramped dormitory…
into the thud of bodies hitting the floor…
into the whispered prayers that were swallowed by the walls…
and into the cold, calculated cruelty Speck carried out as if he were moving through a nightmare he had rehearsed.
With unfiltered reconstruction, psychological breakdowns, survivor insight, and a minute-by-minute retelling, we expose the savage heart of one of America’s most infamous murder cases—a night where mercy didn’t exist and hope died room by room.
Step inside the townhouse.
Feel the silence.
And walk through the horror—one breath at a time.
This is Chasing the Dark — where infamous murder cases, serial-killer profiles, and untold stories come alive. Listener discretion is strongly advised.
