HE'S A monster. That's the word around the campfire on Jack Daniel McCullough, the 71-year-old Seattle man charged with the 1957 sex slaying of Maria Ridulph. According to the Chicago Sun-Times, McCullough has a long, long troubling history of molestation, sexual perversion, violence and terror.* One of his sisters told cops McCullough--originally from Sycamore, Illinois-- sexually abused her on numerous occassons and used her as a lookout when he was “doing that to other neighborhood girls as well ...while he did so.”
* While a cop in Washington state, sexually assaulted a 13-14-year-old runaway in the early 1980s.
* McCullough "at times took his two-year-old brother and two of his sisters into the attic of their home and made them strip and touch each other sexually."
* The man his niece calls "kindly and loving" had a very troubled marriage. She told cops he was emotionally abusive and made sexually suggestive comments to his daughter from a previous marriage, who was 11 at the time. The ex-wife also said she found nude photos of the daughter taped to the bottom of a desk drawer.
The murder of Maria Ridulph was a case that made headlines around the world in 1957 and '58. She had been playing with a pal when she disappeared with a man named "Johnny." Her body was found months after her disappearance.
I set up a blog on Jack. Might want to read.
