Lowell Andrews' Dark Fantasy

On November 28, 1958, Lowell Lee Andrews, known as "the nicest boy in Wolcott," murdered his father, mother, and sister after harboring fantasies of becoming a contract killer. The 18-year-old dreamed of poisoning his family and moving to Chicago to become a gangster and professional hitman. After methodically shooting his family, Andrews staged the scene to look like a robbery before being arrested. Found guilty of the murders, he was executed by hanging in 1962 at the age of 22, showing no remorse for his actions.
