"Lobster Boy" Grady Franklin Stiles, Jr. (June 26, 1937 – November 29, 1992) is perhaps one of the most famous of the freaks who worked the carnival circuit in the middle of last century. Grady was well-known and successful on the sideshow circuit for displaying his lobster like hands and feet as a result of the genetic condition ectrodactyly. But Grady was equally infamous for murdering his future son-in-law, and his own consequent murder at the hands of a contract killer hired by his wife Maria and stepson.
