1958.

More than a decade before Charles Manson warned parents to beware of their homicidal children, 19 year old Charles Starkweather and 14 year old Caril Ann Fugate embarked on a shocking, eight day rampage across America’s heartland that left eleven victims in its wake- including Caril Ann’s parents.

In an ‘Ozzie & Harriet’ era of drive-ins, malts and tail-finned cars, Starkweather and Fugate embraced the ‘live fast- die young’ credo of the wake left by James Dean’s death- and touched off the Midwest’s greatest manhunt since John Dillinger.
