Who killed Suzanne Degnan?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

William Heirens confessed and was convicted for the murder of 6 year old Suzanne Degnan on January 7, 1946. He confessed to 2 more murders but later recanted all 3 confesstions. Better known as the lipstick killer, he left messages written in lipstick begging to be stopped before he could kill again.

Incarcerated at Dixon Correctional Center in Dixon, IL, Heirens had pretty strong arguments concerning his innocence but was never given the new trial he requested. I think he has recently died in prison.

What is the history of a gun called the Peacemaker?

User Avatar

Asked by Rumba

The original Peacemaker was a single-action Colt 45, owned by Wild Bill Hickok, serial #139345. Hickok was supposed to have killed 14 men with this gun in the last 2 years of his life. Hickok was murdered by Jack McCall when McCall shot him in the back of the head while Hickok was playing poker on August 2, 1876.

On July 14, 1882 in Fort Sumner NM a young man was killed with this same gun. The dead man was none other than Billy the Kid, aka William Bonney. The Kid was killed by lawman Pat Garrett. After Hickok's death his sister gave his beloved Peacemaker to a family friend, which happened to be Garrett. Talk about a small world.

When Sheriff Garrett retired from law enforcement he gave the gun to a friend and gun collector Fred Suttun of Oklahoma City, OK. Since then it has been passed from one collector to another. Where it is now is anybody's guess.

What is the Boston Strangler's real name?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The Boston Strangler's real name was Albert De Solvo. He was never formaly

charged with the murders and was doing time for another set of crimes. There has always been a debate among law enforcement and public opinion as to whom the real strangler was. De Solvo comfessed to the crimes but recently DNA proved that he was not responsible for the last murder, Mary Sullivan. There may be further testing on the remaining victims and it is possible that there was a second killer that worked the same general area and time frame. Chances are very good though that De Solvo was responsible for some of the murders. He knew details of some of the crime scenes that only the killer would know about. And as soon as he was arrested the crimes can to a halt. This has all come to late to help De Solvo though, he was killed by another inmate in his prison cell.
