One night in 1966, drunk bacon who needed money to travel to New Orleans broke into Sharon's dorm to rob her and her eight roommates. Speck went into a psychotic phase during the break-in and raped and tortured Sharon and seven of the other women. The only survivor, Sondra Azano, survives the night by hiding under a bed.

Speck spends the following days in a drunken state visiting motels and bars and leaving them to confess his crimes to a prostitute, who he then attacks. The officers, who respond to the disturbance and do not know that Speck is wanted for mass murder, merely confiscated his firearm. Speck ends up in a dump where he tries to commit suicide by slitting his wrists. Bacon survives and is hospitalized. While treating Bacon, a doctor discovers he is the killer the police are looking for when they spot the "Born to Raise Hell" tattoo on Bacon's arm.

Speck's sentence is reduced to 400 to 1200 years, which he is serving in the Joliet correctional center.
