Hickory St. Nightmare Killers Ran Out of Time to Dismember Victims: State's Attorney
State's Attorney James Glasgow said the Nightmare on Hickory Street killers may have dismembered their victims if they had more time.

The Nightmare on Hickory Street killers ran out of time to dismember the corpses of two young men from Joliet, and they might have gone through with the ghastly act if they had only acted faster, said Will County State’s Attorney James Glasgow.
“They certainly were calculating what to do but they didn’t have any experience,” Glasgow said right after he sent a third member of the depraved “family” to prison for the rest of his life.
“They set forth with getting the various materials, the saw the blowtorch, the garbage bags, the bleach, and given enough time they very well may have carried out the dismemberment they had planned.”

Terrance Rankins and Eric Glover, both 22, were lured to their deaths by Adam Landerman, 21, Josh Miner, 26, Alisa Massaro, 21, and Bethany McKee, 20. Landerman, Miner and McKee were all convicted of the January 2013 murders and sentenced to life in prison. Massaro wriggled her way out of the murder case last year by copping a plea to reduced charges of robbery and concealing homicides. She will be released from prison in less than two and a half years.
