Murder In America
EP. 200: SERIAL KILLER Larry Hall

When the twins were born, it wasn't the happiest time for their family. Larry and Gary's mom, Bernice, had had a difficult pregnancy and their father, Robert, was not financially ready to feed two extra mouths. Now at the time, Robert Hall was working as a gravedigger at Falls Cemetery in Wabash, and the work wasn't easy. He would dig the graves by hand, using picks and shovels.

EP. 200: SERIAL KILLER Larry Hall

It was reported that it would take him 18 hours to dig one single grave, but Robert was good at what he did. He was a hard worker and did his best to maintain the cemetery. The only problem was it didn't pay very well. So when Robert, who was already in his 40s, found out that his wife, Bernice, was pregnant with twins, he wasn't very excited about the extra expenses that were to come.

One of the boys' best friends, Ross Davis, would tell author James Keen in his novel, In with the Devil, quote, "...the house was a big place, but it was a dump. It was like a path to walk through. Stuff was piled everywhere. Mrs. Hall was always having a rummage sale, and we used to joke that they lived inside a rummage sale. All the years I knew the family, I never once saw her do any cleaning.

Now, like we mentioned, Larry did really poorly in school. By the time he was in junior high, he was still reading below a sixth grade level. With his low IQ, it was difficult for him to grasp the curriculum. But the one subject he always did really well in was history. He loved hearing the stories of all the different wars, especially the United States Civil War.

But other than that, he really struggled in school, and it was still hard for him to make friends. By the time he was hitting puberty, Larry was described as short, chubby, and he had a lot of acne, something that kids would make fun of him for. It was reported that he would often walk through the halls with his head down. However, on the other hand, his brother Gary was thriving.

Gary had a big friend group. He was popular, outgoing, and he was involved in school sports. So the two brothers couldn't have been more different from one another. Larry often compared himself to his twin brother. He wanted to be more like him, but he didn't know how. Which only led Larry to have even more insecurities.
