Biography[]
Joe Chill[]
On June 26th, 1980, Thomas Wayne, Martha Wayne and eight year old Bruce were walking back to their car after an evening showing. As they took a shortcut through an alleyway in Park Row, the family was held at gunpoint by a petty criminal, Joseph Chilton (aka: ‘Joe Chill’). When the clasp of Martha’s pearl necklace got stuck and Thomas abruptly moved to help his wife, the mugger got spooked and shot Thomas. When a scream followed, Joe fired a second shot, killing Martha instantly. Horrified by what he had done, Chill then fled, leaving the orphaned Bruce spattered in blood and standing among the scattered pearls.
In 1995, on the 15th anniversary of the Wayne Murder, Joseph Chilton was found dead in his cell at Blackgate Prison, having seemingly hanged himself based off the testimony of an eyewitness, the inmate in the cell across from Chilton's, Inmate Malone. John Malone's sentence was vacated after the results from his appeals for retesting of his DNA and fingerprints come back proving him innocent of his original charges.
