writing to prisoners

Date sort Score sort
another thing to consider is that some people will take pleasure in torturing you with details. Maybe true details, maybe just things that are designed to bother you. Or maybe he will enjoy dangling tidbits in front of your face, to see how far he can string you along.

Sorry, but I really wouldn't go into this expecting the best!

What would your life be like if you never get the answers to your questions? Will you be able to let it go?

No. Haven't been able to yet and the crimes took place in the 1970's. After it happened, there were several articles published, extensive newspaper coverage, several books, and two interviews shown on television about this individual and the how, what, where, and why of what he had done, but the question I want answered was, as far as I can determine, never addressed at all. Only he knows the answers and my only hope of getting them is to contact him directly. The worst that can happen is that he refuses to respond to my letter.
 
Are his initials E.K.? I don't know... it seems risky. I have got to agree with the person saying they may try and haunt you with details. I still suggest the PO box if you choose to go through with it. I wouldn't spill your heart out in the first letter you send him, perhaps keep it short and sweet. If the letter is filled with emotion he might try and use that for devious purposes. I think sitting in prison for 40 years would make anyone unstable.
 
I'm pretty sure that I know which prisoner you are talking about.

I think that he would just mess with your head.

If my estimate of your age is correct, you were not born or a small child at the time of the crimes. While they may have cast a shadow over your family, digging through the mind of a serial killer probably isn't going to be helpful. These crimes were horrible, and I don't think the any answer this individual could give you would be enough.

I think you could probably contact him through his lawyer, or through the prison system. I wouldn't recommend it, but that might be an option if you decide to go forward.
 
Well if it makes you wonder, go ahead and write to him. Be prepared if he does not answer. Then you will have to deal with it for the rest of your life wondering what exactly has happened.

I, too, wondered what my uncle did to that elderly man and his son, and why he did it. There were no answers except he murdered them. Court records said that he "snapped", killed them both, cut off the old man's ***** (not giving any more details, too gruesome), and all the "bonnie and clyde" runs, and cops caught him in a corn field. My family has NOT forgiven him or forgotten about the whole thing....he just had a mean streak about him when growing up, a bully, a very difficult child.
 
His mail is censored and you may have someone show up at your home and ask questions or you may be letting this person's followers into your life.

I would make sure you really want this guy or his acquaintances in your head.

There are other ways of dealing with the issue you have is all I am saying.
 
If you want him to leave you a letter, be sure to get a PO box. Or get your lawyer's address (after you get the permission) or the prison.
