Alleged Hickory St. Killer Can’t Go To Grandfather’s Wake

By Joseph Hosey

A Will County judge refused to allow one of the four alleged Nightmare on Hickory Street killers out of jail for his grandfather's wake.

The attorney for Adam Landerman, 20, filed an emergency motion Thursday to get him out of jail but Judge Gerald Kinney denied it.

Landerman, along with Joshua Miner, 25, Bethany McKee, 19, and Alisa Massaro, 19, allegedly lured two men—Eric Glover and Terrance Rankins, both 22—to Massaro's Hickory Street home in January. After the young men arrived, Miner and Landerman strangled them to death, according to police reports obtained exclusively by Patch.

Miner and Massaro then had sex atop Glover and Rankins' corpses, the reports said, and following a drug and alcohol-fueled night of partying, Landerman, Massaro, McKee and Miner hatched a plan to dismember the dead men's bodies. Miner reportedly said he wanted to keep Glover and Rankins' teeth as trophies.

The motion filed Thursday said Landerman's "grandfather, Fred Landerman, has passed away" and Adam Landerman "would like an opportunity to attend his grandfather's wake at Dames Funeral Home."

While Landerman was refused the opportunity to attend his grandfather's wake, Drew Peterson was allowed to be taken from the county jail for a 15-minute visitation with his mother's body.

Peterson had already been convicted of murdering his third wife, Kathleen Savio, when deputies took him from the jail to Modell Funeral Home in Darien.
