She testified in one of the most significant criminal trials in American history. She pointed at Richard Speck and said "This is the man." Then Corazon Amurao went home to the Philippines, married, had children, and turned down every interview, every book deal, and every media request for the rest of her life.On the night of July 13, 1966, Speck entered a Chicago townhouse and killed eight student nurses over five hours. Corazon survived by rolling under a bed and staying motionless until morning. She is reportedly alive, in her eighties, still private.This episode of Surviving Serial Killers starts with the women — their names, their plans, the weddings they were scheduling and the careers they were starting — before it tells you what happened to them. Because the world remembers Richard Speck. Corazon made sure the world would never forget her silence.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Australian magpies are even cleverer birds than we thought. New research from Dr Stephanie Mason shows that they do two language-like things we used to think only humans could do: learn their calls socially, and combine their calls in a way that looks a lot like syntax. So are we calling this language? If so, how are the linguists taking it? Stephanie joins us to talk about magpies, media, and the territoriality of linguists.

Heidiho Welt, was es wohl mit dem titelgebenden, frivolen Indiana Jones auf sich hat? Das erfahrt ihr gegen Ende der Folge, wenn Sandro und Steven eine der besten Serien des Jahres feiern. Kleiner Hinweis: „We are the Thunderboys“. Auf dem Weg dorthin erwartet euch ein Gangster-Kammerspiel, ein Engel, der endlich eine gute Seele retten will, kriminelle Machenschaften entlang der 101, ein Gemetzel auf einer Insel und jede Menge „Schüttel deinen Speck“. Außerdem gibt es Stand-Up als Trennungstherapie und einen Grill-Streit, der völlig eskaliert. Genauso wie Berg und Steven bei dem dazugehörigen Review... Am Ende hatten Berg und Sandro einfach keine andere Wahl (pun absolutely intended) und mussten über den neuen Park Chan-wook philosophieren. Wie immer gilt: bleibt gesund und spoilerfrei!

Dirk und Dennis haben sich mal wieder auf die Reise begeben und ein Meta Thema beackert. Bevor wir nächste Woche, sehr viel über Spiele und Burg sprechen. Also ran an den Speck und mal geguckt, ob und wie der Eindruck stimmt, dass eine thematische Verwebung immer wichtiger für die “beigen” Euros wird. Vorher muss aber erstmal eine gemeinsame Grundlage dafür geschaffen werden. Dirk führt durch die Folge. Viel Spaß und gut Brett!

Five takeaways on plans and public response The development of the last substantial piece of real estate in Cold Spring took a significant step forward in public sessions held April 27 to 30 at the Chapel Restoration and the St. Mary's Church rectory. The urban planning firm Speck-Dempsey presented initial concept plans for a mixed-use development on the Kemble Avenue parcel, while residents voiced concerns and shared ideas regarding the 12-acre tract. There were standing-room-only crowds at each of the two charrettes that included presentations; the other two were open houses. The Marathon Battery factory operated on the site from 1952 to 1979, discharging cadmium and other toxins into the soil and the adjacent Foundry Cove and the Hudson River. The Environmental Protection Agency ordered that the cove be dredged in 1972 and, in 1987, began a nine-year cleanup of the property that included demolition of the factory. (For a detailed history, see highlandscurrent.org/marathon.) Kearney Realty Group purchased the property in 2003. In 2023, Cold Spring amended the zoning from light industrial to planned mixed-use. Residents want smaller homes Informal votes among the residents who attended the charrette at St Mary's included a few unrealistic suggestions, such as "nothing" and "a parking lot," but housing received the most attention. Residents advocated for reasonable rents, 12 homes, tiny houses, 55-plus housing, a ban on short-term rentals and a shared, central green space ("cottage courts"). The architecture will echo Cold Spring's historic buildings in style and scale, according to Speck-Dempsey. Sustainability also scored well, with requests for low light pollution, solar power, energy-efficient buildings, trees, green space and preservation of the forest buffer. Community-oriented ideas included an aquatic center, ballfield, skate park, pavilion, safe walking and community-oriented retail. Some people wanted to see a bodega or restaurants that serve Thai and Indian food. The site is larger than it looks Speck-Dempsey drafted 12 concept plans and recommended two, which it dubbed The Amble and The Angle. Each contains 100 to 150 units, which raised some concern. Office uses, live-work spaces, upstairs apartments, small apartment villas and a few medium-size houses were also part of the mix. Restaurants or cafes could be added, but would require a zoning change. To illustrate capacity, Jeff Speck of Speck-Dempsey said two Forge Gate condominium complexes, or 136 units, could fit on the Marathon site with substantial open space. Public spaces would include a playground, the protection and enhancement of the wooded bluff at the south end, paths and viewing areas. Speck stressed the proposed neighborhood's "walkability" and noted that traffic calming devices, such as narrow lanes, are incorporated in the plans. The site is safe, says EPA While some residents have lingering concerns about the polluted past, Chris Dempsey of Speck-Dempsey said the EPA determined that the site was safe for development more than a decade ago. Excavation for construction "won't get close" to the 15-foot limit set by the EPA, environmental monitoring will be carried out throughout construction, and all plans require approval by the EPA and state regulators. Dempsey said the village has indicated it has the capacity to handle water and sewer for the development, although he reserved the right to reassess once detailed plans are ready. Because the site's groundwater is contaminated, the units cannot use wells for drinking water. Traffic flow seems tight Speck-Dempsey say that, even within the narrow confines of Rock Street, Kemble Avenue and Wall Street, traffic will not be a problem, including safe pickup and drop-off at the adjacent Montessori school. It plans to commission a traffic study and will look at access from Lunn Terrace or by connecting Kemble with Chestnut Street, although those options seem unlikely. Changing Kemble to two-way traf...

The Speck and the Log By Cristian Bobocea, Matthew 7:3-5

Black specks may be small, but the tension they create between departments can be anything but. In this episode of "What the Speck?," Alex Miseirvitch from Aesculap® joins us again to talk about one of the most overlooked challenges in solving the black speck mystery—finger-pointing. When trays are rejected and surgeries are delayed, the pressure to find someone responsible can quickly overshadow the real goal: protecting patients and solving the issue together. Alex shares lessons from the field on how teams can move past blame and work together to find real solutions. Because when everyone is focused on proving who's right, it becomes a lot harder to solve what's actually wrong. Tune in today!

When black specks show up in your trays, water is often the first suspect—but is it really to blame? In this episode of "What the Speck?," Christian Abell from Aesculap's Surgical Asset Management team dives into one of the most common theories behind the black speck mystery: water quality. From city water changes and construction disturbances to failing filters and aging equipment, Christian breaks down how contaminants can make their way from the pipes into your reprocessing workflows. If you've ever suspected the culprit might be hiding somewhere in your water system, the trail of clues may lead straight to the pipes.

Judgement and the Word of God. Though Jesus was superior, he operated with the heart of a servant. When all we see is sin in other people, pride will blind the sin in us. Matthew 7:1-6

In Episode 109 of 2 Minute Disciple, host Nick Oyler leads a contemplative devotional through Matthew 7:1–6 — Jesus' searingly honest and almost comical image of a person with a log in their own eye, squinting to locate the tiny speck in someone else's. Judgment often masquerades as concern. But Jesus invites us to do the hard, humbling work of examining our own hearts first.

Seine Bücher entstehen immer vor wahrem geschichtlichem Hintergrund, sie sind bevölkert von vielen unterschiedlichen Protagonisten. Dass er heute Romane schreiben kann, macht ihn glücklich. Als Drehbuchschreiber war er weniger frei und musste seine Ideen an vorgegebene Budgets anpassen.

A tiny speck in your eye can bring everything to a halt. It steals your focus, blurs your vision, and makes you desperate for relief. In this episode, we use that familiar irritation as a mirror for the spiritual life.How often do small offenses, worries, habits, or distractions hijack our attention and distort how we see God, others, and ourselves? We tend to rub harder—forcing fixes that only make things worse—when what we really need is cleansing, patience, and clarity.

In this episode, we enter Matthew 7 with a defense of the most unfairly judged disciple in history: "Doubting" Thomas. (Spoiler: He was actually the first one willing to die for Jesus). Using Thomas as a backdrop for how easily we misjudge others, we dive into one of the most quoted—and misunderstood—verses in the Bible: "Judge not, lest ye be judged." We present a unique perspective: these verses aren't about ignoring sin (which we are commanded to address), but about being Judgmental (forming opinions on character) and Critical (nitpicking details like appearance or habits). Finally, we tackle the confusing warning about "giving holy things to dogs" and "pearls to pigs." The takeaway? Stop offering the blessings of the Kingdom to those who don't know the King—offer them Jesus instead. Key Topics Covered: Justice for Thomas: Why "Doubting Thomas" should actually be known as "Brave Thomas." Judge Not: Why Matthew 7:1-5 is about being judgmental and critical, not about ignoring sin. The Cloud of Blessing: You will only receive from God the grace you extend to others. Speck vs. Log: The difference between helpful correction and hypocritical criticism. Dogs & Attack Pigs: Why you shouldn't offer "sacred blessings" (like marriage covenants or deep spiritual peace) to those who reject God. They need Jesus, not His benefits.

The Divisional Round is in the books!Jon & Schif get together to discuss the Divisional Round in all it's glory. The round that delivered a great game that ultimately resulted in a team moving on without their quarterback. Hopefully that Broncos defense can holdup in the next round. What's next for Buffalo? Are changes necessary? Is that franchise cursed? They'll be facing a Patriots team that beat a seemingly mentally shrunken C.J. Stroud who could not stop turning the ball over in a wild game that saw both teams with multiple mistakes. In the end, the Patriots came out on top and are now ready to compete against a short-handed Broncos team to represent the AFC in the Super Bowl. Is Jon bummed, YES! But that doesn't take away from the cool story of what can be an unmatched one-season redemption story. On the other side are the Seahawks, who look like an unstoppable buzz saw that made easy work of a hobbled 49ers team. K-9 and company look good on one side of the ball, while that defense looks outright menacing on the other side. The 49ers couldn't get anything going as their season sputtered to an end, letting us all get one more look at our NFC redemption king Mac Jones, who came in for all the wrong reasons. The Seahawks will be facing their division rival Rams, who almost let the Bears drop another miracle ending on them, if it weren't for Caleb Williams doing some typical Caleb Williams stuff (Schif has thoughts about this guy). The Bears shouldn't hang their heads, but should the Rams be worried? The guys hand out MVPs, Trash, Shit Got Learned, Speck and select Scariest Teams as well.

Tonight on The Redacted Report, we reopen the case file on one of America's most infamous crimes—the 1966 massacre of eight student nurses in Chicago. The world knows the headline: one survivor, one killer, Richard Speck. But the real story didn't make the newspapers, and it never made the documentaries.That story begins here.We trace Speck's path long before the murders, uncovering early psychiatric evaluations, head trauma, and behavioral red flags buried in government archives—warnings ignored until it was far too late. Records from Texas expose a trail of violence against women that mirror the Chicago killings almost exactly, cases that were dismissed or quietly dropped. Maritime logs reveal a pattern of explosive aggression at sea, ignored by a system that kept placing Speck on new ships despite repeated danger.The week before the murders—long treated as an afterthought—comes into focus as a period of planning and preparation. Witnesses reported Speck stalking nurses, drawing layouts of buildings, and meeting with unknown individuals. The crime scene itself tells a story that never reached a jury: signs of earlier tampering, restraints brought in advance, and a timeline that points to a calculated, controlled attack rather than a spontaneous frenzy.Corazon Amurao's survival—heroic and heartbreaking—contains details withheld from the public for decades. She heard Speck speaking casually with the victims. She heard another voice in the townhouse. And years later, she admitted what she'd been urged to conceal: she saw a second set of feet.Even the manhunt and arrest raise questions. Speck was seen calmly sitting outside the townhouse after the murders, visited multiple locations searching for someone, and suddenly had access to money. A forged medical bracelet appeared on his wrist. An anonymous caller with medical knowledge identified him at the hospital. Nothing about his capture fits the official version. The suppressed forensic evidence is equally troubling: multiple unidentified fingerprints, unexplained footprints, a phone call placed from inside the crime scene during the murders, and a controlled drug in Speck's system he should never have had access to.Prison tapes later caught Speck alluding to “the man with the plan,” describing the killings as “the message,” and insisting he wasn't acting alone.Patterns of similar attacks on nurses in other cities, linked locations, coordinated methods, and financial trails all point to a larger, unsettling picture—one the justice system seemed unwilling to confront. Speck may have been the hand, but the question remains: whose hand was guiding him?Richard Speck died in 1991, but the unanswered questions surrounding this case remain locked behind sealed files, suppressed reports, and the memories of those told to stay silent. Tonight, we challenge the official narrative and present the case as the evidence actually shows it.On The Redacted Report, we don't repeat the story they told you.We expose the one they didn't want you to hear.

On a sweltering July night in 1966, eight young student nurses gathered in their modest Chicago townhouse, studying, laughing, and planning for bright futures devoted to healing others. By dawn, all but one would be dead — victims of a crime so brutal and senseless that it forever changed how Americans understood violence, safety, and evil itself. In this powerful episode of The Guilty Files, we revisit one of the darkest nights in American history — the Richard Speck murders. We begin with Speck's troubled childhood in rural Illinois, tracing his transformation from an abused and neglected boy into a violent, drifting man. Through court records, psychological profiles, and witness testimony, we follow the sequence of events that led him from one bar to another that night, driven by rage, addiction, and a lifetime of trauma — until he found himself at 2319 East 100th Street. Inside that small townhouse lived eight remarkable women — future nurses united by their compassion and courage. We remember Gloria Davy, Patricia Matusek, Nina Schmale, Pamela Wilkening, Suzanne Farris, Mary Ann Jordan, Merlita Gargullo, and Valentina Pasion — honoring their dreams, their kindness, and their shared commitment to care for others. Through meticulous research and survivor testimony, we recount the investigation that gripped the nation — how a simple tattoo reading “Born to Raise Hell” led detectives to their suspect. We revisit the bravery of Corazon Amurao, the sole survivor who hid beneath a bed for hours, bearing silent witness and later testifying to bring Speck to justice. The trial that followed revealed not only the depths of one man's depravity but also the flaws and limits of the American justice system. Though sentenced to death, Speck's life would end not at the gallows but behind bars — where years later, a shocking prison video reignited public outrage and reopened the wounds of those still grieving. Beyond the crime, this episode examines its lasting impact: reforms in nursing education and hospital security, the birth of modern criminal profiling, and the cultural shift that redefined how Americans viewed personal safety and random violence.This is not a story told to glorify evil — it is a story to remember courage, humanity, and loss. The lives of these eight women remind us that even in the face of unimaginable darkness, compassion and justice endure.

In the early morning hours of July 14, 1966, Chicago police responded to a call about a woman screaming for help at a townhouse in Chicago's Jeffery Manor neighborhood. When they arrived, they found student nurse Cora Amurao outside the home she shared with eight other student nurses, all of whom had been strangled or stabbed that night by an unknown intruder, while Cora hid underneath her bed. Considered at the time to be a “crime of the century,” the student nurse murders shocked and terrified Chicago residents all across the city. Not only had one man managed to brutally murder eight people, but he had also managed to escape and was loose somewhere in the city. At the time, racially motivated riots had broken out across the city, making the already-burdened Chicago Police Department even more strained when it came to investigating the case.After an intense manhunt that lasted several days, investigators arrested Richard Speck, a twenty-four-year-old unemployed drifter with a criminal history. There was a strong amount of evidence that linked Speck directly to the murders, including his own confession, so when he went to trial, his lawyer tried unsuccessfully to argue Speck was not legally sane at the time of the murders. Unfortunately, the truth was something far worse: Speck killed eight women for no reason whatsoever.
