Why Did Corazon Amurao Stay Silent for Sixty Years After Richard Speck?

She testified in one of the most significant criminal trials in American history. She pointed at Richard Speck and said "This is the man." Then Corazon Amurao went home to the Philippines, married, had children, and turned down every interview, every book deal, and every media request for the rest of her life.

On the night of July 13, 1966, Speck entered a Chicago townhouse and killed eight student nurses over five hours. Corazon survived by rolling under a bed and staying motionless until morning. She is reportedly alive, in her eighties, still private.

This episode of Surviving Serial Killers starts with the women — their names, their plans, the weddings they were scheduling and the careers they were starting — before it tells you what happened to them. Because the world remembers Richard Speck. Corazon made sure the world would never forget her silence.
