For All You Newbies Who Want To Write To A Serial Killer
I highly recommend that if you are a minor that you get your parents permission before even writing the letter! This is not a game and these guys are dangerous, manipulative and might one day come up for parole (and be successful).
1. Use common sense.
2. Keep yourself anonymous (unless you want them pitching up for a BBQ). Use a PO Box or an address which cannot be traced directly back to you. Remember if they have your address they could get your phone number! Also – rather use a made up name or alias.
3. Try not if you can discuss their crimes or trials. There may be legal clauses in place where they cannot divulge information. Rather keep the topics around every day life, what they are up to, books they read or movies they get to watch. Once you build up a rapport then you could probably sneak in a question or two about their crimes. Just remember, these people also have the right to reserve their replies as well.
4. If you want a reply then enclose a pre-stamped envelope which has your return address already printed on it. And if you want to get on their good side you may enclose a few blank envelopes as well. Just in-case they want to write to family or spouse (they do have these you know).
5. Don’t feel like it was all in vain if you don’t get a reply. Sometimes serial killers (especially famous ones) get hundreds of letters – so try again and again if you need to.
6. Don’t be a puppet! If you think you are being used in any way (monetary or emotionally) then break off contact immediately! Don’t offer favors either. Just be careful – they are manipulative!
7. No hate mail! They already have been judged and won’t appreciate or respond to these types of letters.
8. Don’t ask for pictures, or artwork or any other type of personal item off them! They are not your personal little cash mule! Once the rapport is built up then you can judge for yourself whether a request for something like that may be granted. Also be sure to let them know that their letters are going to remain private and not sold to collectors or the press.
9 Hold true to your word and DON’T sell their letters, or any other media you get from them, either online or to the press.
10. It may be that they ask you for something, like a magazine or book or something. Just make sure this is allowed with the proper authorities at the prison first. DO NOT SEND THEM MONEY!
