Charles Schmid was known as many things - a trickster, a liar, an egomaniac. He never worked and instead he survived off of handouts from his parents. He also thought himself to be quite the womanizer. Yet, standing at just 5 feet 3 inches tall, Schmid fit the colloquial idea of the “Napoleon Complex,” making up for his feelings of inferiority due to his height with boisterous, outrageous claims. One night he was on such a roll that he claimed he wanted to kill a girl. It wouldn’t be long until Schmid boasted about murdering 3 young girls and police would finally catch the Pied Piper of Tucson.
