"The Lonely Hearts Killers" are executed
Raymond
Martinez Fernandez and Martha Jule Beck were an American serial killer couple. They are believed to have killed as many as 20
women during their murderous spree between 1947 and 1949.
After
their arrest and trial for serial murder in 1949, they became known as
"The Lonely Hearts Killers" for meeting their unsuspecting victims
through lonely hearts ads. A number of films and television shows are based on
this case.
Their
trial was sensationalized, with lurid tales of sexual perversity. Newspaper
reporters described Beck's appearance with derision, and she wrote protesting
letters to the editors. Fernandez and Beck were convicted of Janet Fay's
murder—the only one for which they were tried—and sentenced to death. On March
8, 1951, both were executed by electric chair.
