Man Charged With Hickory St. Nightmare Murders Says Jail Towels Are Too Small

Adam Landerman is also unhappy with the jail food, the times it's served to him, and that he can't get free shaving cream, among other things.

One of the men charged with the grisly Nightmare on Hickory Street murders is pretty unhappy with the size of the towels in the county jail, the food he is served there, and the lack of "barber and beautician services," among other things.

Adam Landerman, 21, filed court papers last week complaining about the towels, food, clothes and the lack of free shaving cream last week in the Will County jail.

Landerman, the son of Joliet police Sgt. Julie Larson, has been locked up in the county jail since January 2013 for allegedly murdering Terrance Rankins and Eric Glover, both 22, in the Hickory Street home of his friend, Alisa Massaro, 20.

Massaro also was charged with the murders but she copped a plea to charges of robbery and concealing a homicide. Massaro agreed to testify against Landerman and two other alleged murderers—Bethany McKee, 19, and Joshua Miner, 25—and in exchange will walk out of prison in less than four years.

McKee's case was supposed to go to trial next week but her lawyer, Chuck Bretz, apparently had second thoughts.

In the meantime, Landerman wants bigger towels, more food, free "shaving soap," "barber and beautician services," and "adequate supplies of clothing."

In the petition he filed last week, Landerman also asked the court to have the jail mix things up with the menu a bit because "food service serves the same food items to detainees every day, and thus the meals served are completely monotonous and undiversified."
