LIFE.com recalls a killing spree from a half-century ago: The story of the American mass murderer Billy “Cockeyed” Cook — who killed six people, including an entire family of five, during a terrifying three-week spree across several American states in early January 1951. It’s a reminder that the unspeakable and the sensational frequently go hand in hand, and that the lessons we glean from such savagery are, all too often, quickly forgotten.
