How Did One Nurse Survive Richard Speck by Hiding Under a Bed for Six Hours?

Richard Speck killed eight student nurses in a Chicago townhouse on July 13, 1966. He strangled five and stabbed three over the course of five hours. He used nautical knots from his time on Great Lakes cargo boats to bind them with bedsheets. And he lost count. Nine women were in that house. He killed eight. The ninth — Corazon Amurao, a twenty-three-year-old exchange nurse from the Philippines — rolled under a bunk bed and did not move for six hours.What made it possible wasn't luck. It was discipline. The ability to override every survival instinct screaming at you to run and instead become invisible. Corazon controlled her breathing, her heartbeat, her presence in a room full of death. And when it was over, she climbed onto a window ledge and screamed until someone heard her.Surviving Serial Killers tells the story of the woman under the bed — what she heard, what she saw when she came out, what she said in court, and the six decades of silence that followed.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
