Birth(+)Fact(x)Death(-) Calendar

"I was hustling on the corner of 3rd and Girard at about 11 pm. A 1987 Caddy Coupe de Ville pulled up. The driver of the car and I discussed price. We came to an agreement of $20. He drove me to 3520 North Marshall Street and we went into the house. He identified himself to me as Gary Heidnik. We went up to the second-floor front bedroom and he gave me a $20 bill. Then we took off our clothes and we had sex on his water bed." Rivera was held captive in a pit in the basement of Heidnik's house along other women he abducted until 24 March 1987 when she managed to escape.

BirthFactDeath (-) Friday 10th of January 1930 94 years ago He Was Strangled for 23 Minutes
Cop killer Edward Eddie Ives is executed by hanging at the age of 51 in Colorado State Penitentiary, Cañon City, Colorado, United States. Ives was escorted to the gallows with the noose tightened around his neck. A guard pulled a lever that sent a weight hurtling down a chute. The weight was supposed to pull the rope taut and the prisoner would break his neck as he fell through the trap. But Ives was too light. As the weight fell he went hurtling toward the ceiling. The rope jumped off the pulley and Ives fell to the floor gasping for breath. "You can't hang a man twice," he said. But they did. According to one witness it took three attempts. Ives was strangled for 23 minutes before he was pronounced dead.
