...killer took 20 to 40 minutes between slayings, as he led his victims from the back upstairs bedroom to the street-front rooms where the slaughter took place. At one point, a neighbor-blonde Tammy Sioukoff, 20, another student nurse who lived near by-rang the doorbell, hoping to borrow a couple of slices of bread to make a sandwich for her boy friend; the killer kept the girls quiet by advising them: "Don't be afraid!
