Richard Speck had always told police that he didn’t remember what happened the night of the murders; However, a video of Speck talking about the murders to another inmate surfaced in May 1996, and it was clear that Speck had actually remembered a lot of details from the night. After all those years, you might think he had time to develop some remorse but when the inmate in the video asked Speck how he felt after killing the nurses, he responded with, “Like I always felt; have no feeling. If you’re asking if I felt sorry, no” (Harrington).
