	Henry Lee Lucas - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Lucas claimed to have attacked his mother only in self defense, but his claim was rejected, and he was sentenced to between 20 and 40 years' imprisonment in Michigan for second-degree murder.
		Lucas' claims gradually became criticized as outlandish and less likely: He claimed to have been part of a cannibalistic, satanic cult called "The Hand of Death" [4], to have taken part in snuff films, to have killed Jimmy Hoffa, and to have delivered poison to Jim Jones in Jonestown.
		Lucas' confession was recorded on audio tape and videotape and, when presented at court, had been subject to significant editing, leading critics to speculate that the removed sections showed authorities coaching Lucas on details of the crime.

Lucas was also questioned about the mysterious disappearance of his fifteen-year-old common-law wife, Frieda "Becky" Powell.
		The fact that Lucas was an ex-con and had been in the possession of a firearm meant that, under Texas law, Conway had every right to arrest him a second time.

	Shopping with Ted Bundy ; Serial killer Henry Lee Lucas
		For Lucas, a lifelong drifter who had once lived in a chicken coop, the confessions were a ticket to a lowbrow version of the highlife.
		The Lucas media circus was made possible by the super-predatory serial killer, a monster-myth that had been recently developed for political expediency.
		Rosenbaum, for example, called Lucas "a prototypical eighties phenomenon" and "the criminological equivalent of junk bonds." Serial killers perhaps represent the Wal-Martizing of crime; inhuman and mechanistic, they leave a nationwide chain of identical horrors in their wake, on a grand scale with which local operators can no longer compete.
