Chicago killer Spencer confesses to numerous murders
James Spencer, a suave 23 year old, told Captain Halpin and detectives he killed multiple women at haywire speed to fund his cabaret lifestyle. He claimed to have lured victims at Delavan and Paw Paw lakes, at a hospital area, and in Jackson Park, using a hammer and gun, then disposed of bodies on tracks or in swamps. Police doubt all, but consider him highly dangerous and connected to Rexroat case details.
