Arnold Friend Serial Killer

I was looking up an article, “The Pied Piper of Tucson,” by Don Moser about serial killer, Charles Schmid. Oates’s fictional story about Connie, a pretty teenager who is pursued by misfit Arnold Friend, was, in part based by the Schmid case and possibly on his murder of 15-yr-old Alleen Rowe whom he killed just to know what killing felt like.

The unmistakable resemblances between Charles Schmid’s and Arnold Friend’s accomplices point towards Joyce Carol Oates directly basing her character on the tactics of the real life serial killer. Joyce Carol Oates also based Arnold Friend’s stature off of Charles Schmid, the Pied Piper of Tucson. Charles Schmid was well known for being a short, well built individual. He was small but very athletic, having an accomplished career in gymnastics (Moser).
