 Also in 2005, Patterson began working on his second project, "Redheaded Peckerwood", which is loosely inspired by the late 1950s killing spree of Charles Starkweather and Caril Ann Fugate across Nebraska.Photographs are the heart of this work, but they are complemented and informed by documents and objects that belonged to the killers and their victims.Later that year, Patterson moved back to New York.
