I often went into the school on the 20th St. side so I passed 307 W 20th St. it was a scary time for us kids that went to PS11. I was 12 and remember the fear all of our parents had also. I am of Spanish background and my grandmother read the Spanish newspapers El Diario and on the front page I remember the headline that said “La Bestia Humana” (The Human Beast) with the picture of Fred Thompson underneath.

I was 9 years old when it happened. I also remember the coney island wax museum had a wax figure on display in 1962 & the years following ,showing fred thompson sitting in glass enclosed small room, he was shown sitting at a old wood desk, his fist was clenched and he had a three thousand mile stare in his eyes,, very scary for a ten year old kid to see, he had red stripped pajama's on *It was very impressive to see ! it looked so real and life - like !! This skell and his worthless balls should have received the death penalty & been executed.....i wonder how many years he lived in the system?. it was a heart wrenching terrible story....that poor mother what she went thru just knowing how her daughter suffered and was murdered,,,,,,,,.tragic thing to live with,,,,,,.dennis a.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15839728115186855332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1072125047008275922.post-6930756184143930612011-09-02T18:07:16.014-07:002011-09-02T18:07:16.014-07:00Mr. John - I agree there is too much apathy in our...Mr. John - I agree there is too much apathy in our country & communities today.

I was 9 ...Yes, I remember this story all too well. I was 9 years old at the time. The newspapers, the television, the radio and people on the street were rattled. My mother was visibly upset about this as this was something unheard of at the time and she just could not accept such a tragedy. The good of this was my mother was an effective communicator and instilled in me and my sister to be tuned into people, especially strangers. She was amazing in that at our young age we knew how to "read people" and understand their possible motives and always, always to be alert and suspicious and to avoid them and never let them get close to you. My sister had cerebral palsy and could not run quickly. We were extremely close as she was 3 years my senior. She was very protective of me and was always wary of strangers. If any stranger came remotely close to us she would scream so loudly they would run from us. Her voice was so powerful you can hear her for blocks and in those days neighbors would run out to the street or look out their windows to see what's "going on". If they saw something, they not only said something, they did something. Not like today, too much apathy. The Fred Thompson story and Edith Kiecorius was unheard of in 1961. Remember these were "safe times". Nothing like this ever happens! There were pictures of Edith posted all over the city and in the newspapers and on the front pages. Once Thompson was apprehended his pictures were front page news and people were outraged. I remember this as if it were yesterday. Probably because it was such a terrible tragedy and that everyone and I mean everyone was frightened by this and you can see this everywhere in the city and it was pervasive to the point of obsession. Although I was only 9 years of age then, I will never ever forget this sad story and that young baby girl brutally murdered senselessly! It's something I cannot comprehend and never will.John Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16819258103310165834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1072125047008275922.post-16864165446357811712011-08-30T07:32:13.573-07:002011-08-30T07:32:13.573-07:00I wonder if he just passed away in the institution...I wonder if he just passed away in the institution.
