Episode 1: 2319 E. 100th Street
Chicago, Illinois – July 13, 1966.
A quiet brick townhouse on the city’s South Side. Eight young women studying to become nurses.
By morning, only one would still be alive.
This is the story of one of the most chilling mass murders in American history — and the woman who lived to tell it.
Richard Speck was a 24-year-old drifter with a violent past and no plan.
What brought him to that house remains unclear.
But over the course of a single summer night, he slipped inside and bound, brutalized, and murdered seven women — one by one — without ever raising his voice.
The only survivor, Corazon Amurao, hid silently beneath a bed, listening as her classmates were led away and killed just feet from where she lay.
When dawn broke, Corazon ran for help — barefoot, bloodied, and barely able to speak.
Her testimony would lead to Speck’s arrest, trial, and conviction — and change the landscape of women’s safety, criminal justice, and media coverage in the decades that followed.
In this premiere episode, These Walls Remember returns to 2319 E. 100th Street.
We revisit the night of the murders, the manhunt, the survivor’s courage, and the long shadow the crime cast over Chicago and the nation.
This is not just a story about a killer — it’s a story about a place. A place that still stands. A place that still remembers.
