Harvey Murray Glatman
Harvey Glatman was an American serial killer ("The Lonely Hearts
Killer"), active during the late 1950s. Harvey was a Jewish boy who
was born in the Bronx. He was an amateur conman and sex offender as a
teenager, breaking into women's apartments, where he tied them up,
molested them, and took pictures as souvenirs. Glatman was in prison
for 8 months in 1946.
Once out of prison, Glatman moved to Albany, New York, where he was
eventually arrested in 1947 for a series of muggings. He was given a
5–10 year prison sentence in Sing Sing Correctional Facility, where
Zio-prison psychiatrists diagnosed him as a psychopath. He was
nevertheless a model prisoner and was granted an early release in
1956. 8

Ruth Mercado must have known her hopes were gone and her
death had come when he told her to pose as if she were dead.
Close your eyes, lie there, don't breath....be a corpse. She
closed her eyes, and his camera went..snap,
click...whirr...snap, click...whirr...snap, click.
After he masturbated, he strangled her with a rope.
