Earned a college degree (Bachelor of Arts) in February 1972, the first
ever inmate in Illinois to earn a degree.
Currently incarcerated in Joliet State Penitentiary.
At aged 17, he allegedly killed three people, one of them who was just
six years old.
He was called the 'lipstick killer' because he had scrawled the
following message on one of his victim's wall with her lipstick: For
heavens sake catch me before I kill more. I cannot control
myself.
He was once the longest serving Illinois inmate having been
imprisoned in 1946.
