History Thru The Lens

Welcome to my blog site!

My interests in history and photography come together in this photoblog. Featured in this blog are historical pictures such as the above photo of the RMS Olympic and her sister ship the RMS Titanic, which would prove to be the last one of them together side by side. Hopefully all who visit will enjoy it and recommend the site to their friends.

The Lonely Hearts Killers

From 1947 through 1949, Raymond Fernandez and Martha Beck were believed to have killed as many as 20 women. Known as The Lonely Hearts Killers, the couple would befriend people seeking companionship via the newspapers, eventually killing and robbing them. As a result of their being convicted for only one of the murders, Fernandez and Beck were both executed in the electric chair at New York's Sing Sing Prison on March 8, 1951.
