On Halloween night in 1979, 16-year-old Shirley Ledford was walking home from a party in Los Angeles when a silver van pulled over and offered her a ride.
The teenager climbed inside, unaware she had just stepped into a torture chamber on wheels.
Inside were Lawrence Bittaker and Roy Norris, later known as the Toolbox Killers, who had kidnapped and murdered four other teenage girls in the past four months. The youngest was just 13.
Soon after they picked her up, the men dragged the terrified girl into the back of the van, which they had soundproofed so no one could hear their victims' screams.
For the next two hours, they put Shirley through unimaginable torture. The men took turns raping and beating her. At one point, one of them hit her elbow with a sledgehammer 25 times in a row.
They recorded the attack on tape, forcing her to scream into the microphone until she begged them to end her life, before they finally strangled her with a wire coat hanger.
When roughly 17 minutes of the tape were played during Bittaker's 1981 trial, jurors cried, and some people couldn't bear it and left the courtroom. A prosecutor warned beforehand that anyone who did not know what hell was like was about to find out.
Years later, actor Scott Glenn heard part of the recording while preparing for his role in The Silence of the Lambs. He stopped it after about a minute, visibly tearful, and later said it had given him nightmares.
The recording proved so disturbing that the FBI reportedly later used it at Quantico to mentally prepare new agents for the realities of extreme human evil.
Bittaker was sentenced to death, while Norris received 45 years to life, and both men ended up dying in prison.
