Criminal. Born in the Bronx of New York, he was the son of Albert and Ophelia Gold Glatman. He was a slender, meek, intelligent man, who was also mentally ill. He was a boy scout and played in the school band. Arrested for the first time in 1945, he served 8 months in the Colorado State Penitentiary. During his stay at Colorado State Prison, he was treated by a psychiatrist and once he was released his parents would have him treated by a private psychiatrist. Moving to New York with relatives, he was a television repairman and amateur photographer. Again arrested in 1946, he served five years in Sing Sing Prison and once again received regular psychiatric care. In 1958, Glatman raped, tortured, and then murdered three young women, who he had lured while pretending to be a professional photographer looking for a model. He was caught in the act while kidnapping his fourth victim. He was known in the media as "The Lonely Hearts Killer" and "The Glamour Girl Slayer." His own attorney, Willard Whittinghill, was quoted as calling Glatman a "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" personality. He was brought to San Quentin State Prison on November 5, 1958 and sentenced to death. At 31 years of age he was executed in the gas chamber on September 18, 1959. He was the subject of Michael Newton's 1999 book, "Rope," which gave the details of his crimes. After the execution, he was cremated but his ashes were unclaimed by his mother. His cremains were interred at the Napa State Mental Hospital facility until October 29, 1968 when all cremated remains were transferred to Napa Valley Memorial Park. His name appears on a very large list of individuals who were buried in a large plot named "Napa State Hospital Plot." This is a mass grave with no individual markers.
