Dual Skulls on a red background by James Ruzicka

12×9 inch

This piece is a great piece to add to any collection and reasonably priced as well.  The depiction of the skulls show that evil can get you even after death. James Ruzicka is known for his crimes and subsequent murders in the Spokane, WA area in the 1970’s. He committed crimes between Seattle, WA and Spokane. There is also some speculation that he went to Oregon as well.  In the end he was convicted of the murder and rape of 2 teenaged girls. The odd part of this story is that he escaped a mental institution and fled to his ex-wife’s home. Her and her new husband housed Ruzicka and hid him from the authorities. He then committed his crimes using a knife that belonged to his ex-wife’s new husband.
