Charles Raymond Starkweather (November 25, 1938 – June 25, 1959) was a spree killer who murdered 11 victims in Nebraska and Wyoming during a road trip with his underage girlfriend Caril Ann Fugate. He became a national fascination in the USA, eventually inspiring the films The Sadist, Badlands, Starkweather, Murder in the Heartland , The Frighteners and Natural Born Killers. He also inspired the Bruce Springsteen song "Nebraska", which Springsteen originally considered calling "Starkweather". Liza Ward, the granddaughter of victims C. Lauer and Clara Ward, wrote a novel, Outside Valentine, based on the events of Starkweather's killing spree.
