Legend has it that Lily was a little girl who spent all or most of her short, sad life inside the walls of Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum. Some believe she was dropped off at the hospital, like an unwanted stray, by parents who couldn’t or wouldn’t care for her. Another story has it that she was born at the hospital shortly after her mother was committed, taken in and cared for by hospital staff until she died tragically of pneumonia at the age of nine. After her death, her spirit remained inside TALA, the only home she had ever known.

The unusual nature of the crime and the striking nickname given to the killers inspired Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s short story, “The Red-Headed League.” A variety of legends also sprung up around the case of the Blue Eyed Six—some more accurate than others.

William Sr. and Julia Lemp raised eight children (a ninth died at birth) in a majestic lifestyle befitting local royalty.

Are “Bad Seeds” a Thing? Nature vs nurture
But, even with all these negatives, sociopaths aren’t hopeless cases. They can, and do, learn. They can, and do, benefit from consistent positive influences.
