AS SEEN IN THE SHOWTIME 4-PART SERIES!In 1958, nineteen-year-old
Charles Starkweather gained notoriety as one of the nation’s
first spree killers. He murdered eleven people in Nebraska and one
in Wyoming. After a week on the run, he was arrested, later
convicted, and sentenced to die in the electric chair.
Starkweather’s girlfriend, Caril Fugate, fourteen, was with him
throughout the murder spree. Was she his hostage or a participant?
This question still stirs debate more than sixty years later.
Fugate claims she was too terrified to attempt
escape—Starkweather had told her he would have her family killed
if she disobeyed him. Unbeknownst to her, he had already murdered
them. A jury found Fugate guilty of first degree murder. She was
sentenced to life in prison; however, in 1976 she was paroled at
age thirty-two. Now, in The Twelfth Victim, attorneys Linda M.
Battisti and John S. Berry, Sr. pull together years of research to
tell how Fugate was a victim of both Charles Starkweather and the
Nebraska justice system.
Maria Antonia Josepha Johanna von Habsburg-Lothringen (1755-1793),
known to history as Marie Antoinette, was born an Archduchess of
Austria, and later became Queen of France. She was married to Louis
XVI of France at age 14. She was executed at the height of the
French Revolution.
