From the beginning of December 1957 to the end of January 1958, there were multiple shootings in Nebraska and Wyoming, killing 11 people. The culprits are a couple, the mastermind Charles Stakowether is only 19 years old, and his girlfriend Carlile Fuguet is only 14 years old, and even more outrageously, the first victim of the crime in this case is the family of the female prisoner Caryl.
This article will talk to you about this outrageous couple half a century ago
Charles starkweather was born in Nebras in 1938. There are 7 children in the family, he is the third oldest, the father was originally a carpenter, but because of arthritis and can not work well, the mother has nothing to do, can only be a waiter to subsidize the family, so the family is poor during the Great Depression to eat soil.
Charles also suffered from knee inversion as a child, the so-called O-leg, plus some language barriers, so he was a laughed-out baby from an early age in school, which had a huge impact on his future personality development.
There is a saying that reads books to talk to Silly X calmly, and fitness can make Silly X talk to you calmly. It is clear that Charles, who has been ridiculed since childhood, understands this deeply, and he has been mixing in the gym since he was developing, practicing a muscle lump, and then cleaning up the people who laughed at him as a child.
If the story ends here, it seems to be very inspirational ~ ~ ~ ~
Don't you say, Charles is still a bit of a scoundrel
At the age of 16, charles dropped out of school to work as a stevedor in a newspaper due to poor family conditions, and in the same year the American film "Ah Fei Zheng Biography" was released (the American version in 1955, later translated as The Rebellion without Cause, not the Hong Kong film played by Leung Chao-wai.), which had a profound impact on Charles, including the male protagonist's styling and the nihilism revealed in the film.
Ah Fei is still a sequel
There is a junior high school next to the newspaper where Charles works, he met Caryl while he was working, and then the two began to fall in love in 1956... (Caryl was 12 years old at the time...) ）
Well... Do you have anything to say about all the single dogs here?
Caryl ↑, she is 14 years old in the photo.
For the rest of the day, Charles picked up and dropped off Carlyle daily until one day in 1957. Charles used his dad's Ford 1949 to teach Carriel how to drive, and as a result, the female driver + the first time this ace combination played its due role...
That's right, Carriel hit someone else's car. Because Carril was driving without a license, she had to pay full compensation, but the two of them had no money, so they ran away, and the party who was finally hit directly sued the owner of the car, that is, Charles his father, and as a result, his father paid a large amount of compensation, and angrily drove his son out of the house.
Charles left home, quit his job at the newspaper, and began to work as a garbage truck. During this period, he met too many low-level people who lived by picking up rags, and it was also during this period that he established a philosophy of life: "Only death can make people equal with others."
At the end of 1957, Charles was fired from the municipal cleaning department for his daily absenteeism, and he was kicked out by the landlord because he was unemployed and could not pay his rent. Without money, Charles, who was already full of resentment against society, raised his gun for the first time.
On the night of November 30, 1957, Charles robbed $100 at a local gas station and took robert, a gas station employee, to a secluded corner and blasted him in the head with a shotgun...
At noon on January 21, 1958, Charles went to Carlyle's house to look for her, but she was not there. Caryl's mother and stepfather knew that Charles was an unlearned, so they viciously told Charles to stay away from her daughter, and the two sides immediately quarreled.
Charles didn't care about a few more lives on his hands, so he took out his shotgun and shot Carril's stepfather and mother in the head. After the murder, he took a stick and beat Caryl's half-sister (only 2 and a half years old).
The three figures are Carril's stepfather, Marion Bartlett, mother Verda Bartlett, and sister Betty Bartlett
The bodies of the three men were then buried in a chicken coop outside the house
The Bartlett family, the family conditions are not bad ↑ The house where they live belongs to the slum
Later, Caryl returned home and felt bad about seeing Charles sitting at home with a shotgun. Charles said to Carlyle, your parents didn't agree with us, so I kidnapped them, but rest assured, as long as you're with me, they'll be all right.
The silly white and sweet Carriel believed, and in the next few days, the two of them lived in the house to applaud for love, during which a relative came to ask where their family was going, and Caryl only said that they were all suffering from the flu and it was inconvenient to meet guests.
On January 27, relatives finally felt something was wrong, so they approached the police, who had rummaged through the chicken coop and found the body, but by this time Charles and Carril had already driven away.
Charles used to be taken by his father to a farm in the suburbs to play, the owner August likes to hunt, there are many weapons and ammunition in the family, so Charles and Caryl's first stop after escaping plans to go to Auguste to get some weapons. In the evening of the same day, when they were on the road to the farm, the tires fell into a mud pit and could not get out of trouble, considering that they were not far from the farm, they abandoned the car and walked.
Abandoned on the road car ↑, this is Charles's father's one that crashed the car before the Ford 1949.
At this time, a local couple, Robert Jensen and Carol King, passed by, and the two of them were kind enough to take Charles for a ride. But unexpectedly, Charles directly pulled out a gun and shot Robert, Carol panicked and planned to escape, but Charles went up and tried to force her. Caryl saw that it was very hot and directly grabbed the gun and killed Carol. (Caryl later denied this in court, but the police analysis was done by her.)
Robert and Carol ↑, the words of these two one 17, one 16, but also too anxious to look ...
Charles then drove Robert's car to August's house, pulled out a shotgun and killed the 70-year-old August without saying a word, took some of the weapons and ammunition and left.
Auguste's body was left in the laundry room, but I was afraid I wouldn't be able to judge it, so I put it in their house.
The weapons and ammunition are complete, and charles will have to make money. He used to drive a garbage truck and knew where the rich local people lived. They came to the rich quarter and broke into the mansion of a local steel entrepreneur, C. Raul Ward.
Charles first tied the maid Lillian to the bed and stabbed her to death with a knife, then broke the neck of their dog. Then it was time to wait for the master to come back
Raúl's wife Clara returns home first, but is stabbed to death by Caryl, and when Raul returns home that night, Charles shoots her dead. The two then snatched up Raul's gold and silver jewelry and snatched Raúl's car and left the scene.
Raul, Clara and the maid Lillian ↑
Raul was a powerful local mogul, and Charles knew that his death would definitely lead to a massive police roundup, so they fled from Nebraska to Wyoming overnight.
Indeed, after Raul's death, Lincoln, Nebras, gathered 1,200 law enforcement officers and the National Guard to begin a mass manhunt. But by this time, Charles was already 500 miles away in Wyoming, Douglas.
Charles heard the arrest warrant on the radio, and he thought that the car he was driving had been exposed, so he urgently needed to change the car. He happened to be standing on the side of the road with a brand-new Buick, and the driver in the front seat, Moore Collinson, was sleeping in it. Charles then opened the car door and fired nine shots in the head at the confused Moore.
Moore's corpse ↑
Perhaps in her conscience, Caryl was dissatisfied with Charles's indiscriminate killing of innocents at this time, and did not want to continue to wander the world, more likely, after seeing Charles's actions, she understood that her parents and sister must have died at his hands. Here they had an argument.
Charles couldn't manage that much, and after killing Moore, he planned to drive away in the Buick. But the Buick had a new parking device that Charles wouldn't use, and the car repeatedly stalled. At this moment, a geologist Joe Springk passed by, and kindly stopped to ask them if they needed help, and charles, who was in a hurry, took out a gun and pointed it at Joe's head, and Joe was blindfolded.
At this critical juncture, a policeman, William Romer, passed by, and Joe immediately ran to the police for help, and it was at this time that Caryl also got out of the car and ran to the police, shouting "There is Stakweather in the car!" He's going to kill me!" ”
Well, it's time for this boyfriend to sell
Charles was stunned for a moment, and immediately changed into Joe's car, and ran alone with one foot on the accelerator. William, on the other hand, flashed a police light and began the chase and radioed the surrounding police station to pursue the joint pursuit.
Eventually, Sheriff Earl struck Charles in the glass of his car with a shot in the chase, and the shards cut Charles. Charles, the egg, thought he might bleed too much and die if he went any further, so he stopped and surrendered.
Charles was extradited back to Nebraska and sentenced to death in May 1958. On June 25, 1959, Charles was thrust into the electric chair.
Caryl was convicted an accessory and sentenced to life in prison. But she was released on parole after serving 17 years in prison
I didn't know it was Caryl for a few years, and she looked like she was making clothes, but it was pretty
This is the elderly Caryl and her husband, filmed in 2013, when she is 70 years old, but her appearance is still online
