Above is Henry Lee Lucas, also called "the one-eyed drifter" because of a bad eye murdered three women, one being his own mother. These, though he has claimed to have murdered hundreds of people are the only victims he has been proved to have killed. Arrested for killing his mother in 1960 ten years later he was paroled. When he was released he was arrested once more for attempting to kidnap a fifteen year old girl. After being released again he murdered two more women and was arrested again in 1983, this time for good.

He began a romantic relationship with his niece, Becky Powell. Though she was his lover he later killed her. In June 1983, Lucas was arrested for possession of a deadly weapon. Because he was a convicted felon he was not allowed to have one. While in his cell, he began confessing to hundreds of murders. Since no one knew for sure he was considered a liar and the "lie" was dismissed. He was sentenced to life imprisonment and died in prison in 2001.
