Chicago nurse survivor recalls eight slain students
Miss Corazon Amurao 23, the sole survivor of Richard Speck’s massacre in Chicago, told Consul General Generoso Provido of how she and three Filipino nurses planned to resist the intruder. Fearful for others, she hid under a bed while Speck killed eight and left, then prayed in silence as authorities kept her isolated in hospital. The consul met her Monday, noting she remains calm though traumatized and has been confined since the killings last Thursday.
