Robert Nixon (serial killer)
Robert Nixon (ca. 1919-June 16, 1939) was an American serial killer, born in the small town of Tallulah, Louisiana around 1919, who confessed to five murders and multiple assaults, including the Los Angeles "brick bat〔See definition for "bat", under Brickwork (British bricklaying terms).〕 murders" of 1937. Depicted with racist imagery in the main-stream press after his arrest, he was given the nickname the "(Brick Moron )" as he killed his victims with bricks and was depicted as dim-witted.
Convicted of murder, he was executed in Chicago in 1939. Nixon served as the basis of the character of Bigger Thomas in Richard Wright's 1940 social protest novel ''Native Son''.
==Los Angeles Murders==
In 1937, Edna A. Worden and her 12-year-old daughter, a junior high school student, were murdered in their apartment in L.A's Bunker Hill neighborhood. Their bodies were discovered on Sunday, April 4, 1937, by the manager of their building, the Astoria Apartments, which was located next to the Angel's Flight stairs. Worden and her daughter were sexually assaulted and murdered with a brick that still had mortar attached to it. Los Angeles detectives linked the crime to the rape-murder of 20-year-old Rose Valdez, a young mother who was killed on March 2 as her baby slept in the same room in its crib.
The police began searching for an African-American man who had been implicated in three similar assaults. On January 25, Mrs. H. W. Koll was attacked by an African-American man wielding a brick in Monte Sano Hospital, while a black perpetrator fractured the skull of Elizabeth Reis with a brick in her hotel room on February 3. Zoe Damrell was attacked and nearly murdered in her home by an African-American assailant wielding a brick on March 28. Damrell's assailant matched the description of a potential assailant seen lurking by Valdez's home before her murder.
