Few American criminals have captured the imagination of Hollywood like Charles Starkweather, a red-haired James Dean wannabe who murdered eleven people in 1957 and 58. With him during most of his killing spree was his girlfriend (and possible accomplice) Caril Ann Fugate. Among the victims were Caril's own mother, step-father and little sister.
My guest, Edgar award winner and bestselling author Harry N. MacLean, knew the Starkweather family as a boy in Lincoln, Nebraska. One of his main goals in writing his book, "Starkweather: The Untold Story of the Killing Spree that Changed America", was to examine more closely the question of whether 14-year-old Caril was complicit in the murders, or instead coerced by Starkweather to participate.

The physical description of Charles Starkweather alone was telling me this kid was bullied in school. I wonder if he was not bullied how would he have turned out.

being bullied doesn't make it ok to go on a killing spree!

My family lives in South central Nebraska, they followed the news stories and we're very worried. The sheriff in their county warned everyone and farm families that had never locked doors now took precautions for their safety. They remembered it as an extremely scary time.

Yes, bullying is horrible, but murder is worse.

Personally I don't see a James Dean resemblance

This author didn't say anything new that isn't already all over the internet! Terrible interview.

Your reasoning is faulty. Perhaps a listener is not familiar with the story and hasn't been "all over the internet" reading about it. What additional fact that you haven't memorized would have fascinated you? That Caril loved orange soda? Grow up and learn to think.
