The Lipstick Killer

Chicago, Illinois, United StatesJune 5, 1945

Between 1945 and 1946, a killer murdered three women in Chicago and left a message written in lipstick on a wall reading "For heavens sake catch me before I kill more I cannot control myself." William Heirens confessed but later recanted, claiming the confession was coerced. He died in prison in 2012 maintaining his innocence.
