Henry Lee Lucas
Henry Lee Lucas was a selfconfessed American serial killer. Lucas was arrested in Texas and, on the basis of his confessions, hundreds of unsolved murders attributed to him were officially classified as cleared up. Lucas was convicted of murderingpeople and condemned to death for a single case with an unidentified victim. A newspaper exposed the improbable logistics of the confessions made by Lucas, when they were taken as a whole, and a study by the Attorney General of Texas concluded he had falsely confessed the death sentence was commuted to life in prison in 1998. Assertions by local law enforcement that in certain cases Lucas had demonstrated knowledge of unsolved crimes that only a perpetrator could have possessed added to the enigma, as did his association with Ottis Toole.
He was born on August 23, 1936 in Blacksburg, Virginia. Lucas lost an eye at ageafter his brother knifed him. Bullied by his peers for his glass eye and crossdressing, which he was forced into by his mother, Lucas later mentioned mass social rejection as a cause for his hatred of people. A friend later described him as a child who would often get attention by frighteningly strange behavior. Aside from this, Lucas mother was a prostitute who would force him to watch her have sex with clients.
