Albert Fish was a resident of one of the suburbs in my town. It was where he was apprehended. Lincondale NY. He was then taken to White Planes and then executed in Ossining.
EDIT: He actually used a house in Lincondale to commit the murders that got him executed. Still though,an interesting little tidbit!
Oh, who's Albert Fish, you ask?
