Live Fast, Die Young - Charles Starkweather & Caril Fugate Part 2/2

Live Fast, Die Young, a motto that fits Charles Starkweather and his actions. In the winter of 1958, the nation was captivated by the horrific crime spree committed by Charles Starkweather and Caril Ann Fugate. Over just two months, the couple embarked on a brutal killing spree across Nebraska and Wyoming, leaving a trail of destruction in their wake.

Starkweather, a troubled young man with a history of violence, convinced his underage girlfriend, Caril Ann Fugate to join him on his rampage, which included multiple murders and robberies. Their crimes shocked the nation and sparked one of the largest manhunts in history.

Ultimately, Charles Starkweather was captured and sentenced to death, while Fugate was convicted as an accessory to murder. The case remains one of the most chilling examples of criminal partnership in American history.

To this day, the question still remains: how culpable was Caril Ann Fugate?
