Raymond Martinez Fernandez born in Hawaii to Spanish parents, and Martha Jule Beck (Seabrook) were serial killers in post-WWII America. At the time of their arrest on February 28, 1949, Fernandez was 34, Beck 29. This team was most commonly refered to as the 'Lonely Hearts Killers' and were responsible for at least 19 murders. They traveled the country finding women through lonely hearts ads and swindled them out of their money and sometimes murdered them. They were held for trial in the Bronx Criminal Court in New York and found guilty and sentenced to the electric chair. And in 1951 at Sing Sing Prison in New York they paid their debt to society. Fernandez had to be carried to the chair but Beck was the picture of calm mouthing the words 'so long' before the hood was placed over her head.
