We begin with the most scandalous circus performer of them all. Grady Stiles Jr. came from a long line of circus performers with ectrodactyly––which fuses fingers and toes together to form claw-like hands and feet. Unfortunately, the mental anguish of being displayed in "freak shows" and being called Lobster Boy took its toll on Grady, and he became a cruel and abusive alcoholic, often using his colossal upper body strength to beat his wife and daughters.
Lobster Boy Quite Literally Got Away With Murder
Let's jump ahead to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in 1978. On the eve of his daughter's wedding, Grady grabbed a shotgun with his claws and shot and killed his daughter's fiancé. He was convicted of murder but never served time as no prison could care for him. Instead, he received 15 years' probation under house arrest.
Wow, that is completely messed up. O.o
