Episode description

Over the course of several months in 1982, Spisak, driven by his Nazi beliefs, killed three people at CSU - the Rev. Horace Rickerson; CSU student Brian Warford; and Timothy Sheehan, an assistant superintendent for buildings and grounds at the university. Spisak also shot John Hardaway, a factory worker, and Coletta Dartt, a CSU employee. - Cleveland.com


Spisak would go on "hunting parties" and targeted Rickerson, Warford and Hardaway because they were black, according to his parole records.
