“For heavens sake catch me before I kill more I cannot control myself”
On December 10, 1945, William Heirens left this note scrawled in lipstick on the wall of Frances Brown’s Chicago apartment. Just before writing this message, Heirens brutally stabbed Brown to death and left a knife sticking out of her neck.
Heirens became known as “The Lipstick Killer” and took one more victim before police finally caught him six months later.
