Jerry Spraggins

 VICTIMS : 3+

Apartment 31, Cranetown apartments, Montclaire, New Jersey.

If Jerry Spraggins is to be believed this is the scene for one of the worst curses in history.

In November 1981, Lillian Harris, 83, died from what was diagnosed as a heart attack while the apartment was being burglarised.

Then on April 18, 1983, Joan Light, 51, suffered the same fate. The apartment was being burgled and she had a heart attack (according to the coroner).

On September 2, the new tenant, 68-year-old Sarah McHale, was found dead in the living room. She had been smothered with a pillow. Police showed their immense thinking powers and deduced that there may have been a connection with the previous deaths.

On April 11, 1985, Jerry Spraggins was arrested for the murders of McHale and Light. Spraggins had just beaten a charges of sexual assault and burglary at another apartment complex and was serving a two year probation for similar crimes.

Ultimately Spraggins was convicted of only one murder, Sarah McHale, and is currently serving a 30-year sentence. Police suspect him in numerous other cases.

Since Jerry Spraggins arrest the 'curse' has not been in affect. Strange co-incidence that.
 

MY OPINION

This fucker had balls. To go back to the same place three times is amazing. I don't really think of him as a serial killer (I think he was just a thief that occasionally killed to remain free, never for pleasure) but for sheer amusement I've added him here. I really like him, and I hope others do to. The first time I read about Spraggins I laughed and I can't think of a time when I didn't like him. AND I believe he must have at least 5 or more murders that will remain unsolved. I just wish he'd talk about them.
