Editing Robert Nixon (section)

==Arrest==
Realising that he was probably going to be caught, Nixon moved to Chicago, where he and his friend [[Earl Hicks]] broke into Florence Johnson's house to burgle it. When she woke up, either Nixon or Hicks smashed her in the head with a brick and killed her. While trying to flee, both Nixon and Hicks were arrested due to blood on their clothes. Hicks and Nixon pinned blame on each other, although Nixon confessed to murdering Florence Thompson Castle at some point, having been implicated by fingerprint evidence. With a suspect in jail for two brick slayings, the Los Angeles police looked into the murders of Reis, Valdez and the Wordens and found Nixon's fingerprints. Koll and Damrell also identified him as the man who attacked them, and other women assaulted during the spree pointed the finger at Hicks. Nixon confessed to raping and murdering Anna Kutcher at his trial, and was suspected of murdering Florence Kennedy, although there was insufficient evidence to prove this. He also claimed to have been abused by police.
