letters from a serial killer -- article two

I've always been curious on what it would be like to talk with an actual serial killer, would they blurt out cryptic messages or yell threats? Turns out, no. In fact, after writing one letter to two different serial killers I was left in a surprised state of mind. Mostly about the fact that they had actually taken the time to write back to me.

Now, the first letter I wrote was to David Berkowitz, the notorious Son of Sam killer. Going into this experiment I didn't really have hopes. I mostly thought they would realize they didn't know the name adorning the pink envelope and promptly throw it out but life is full of surprises.

To say I was confused on what to even write to them would be an understatement. What does one talk about with a well known murderer? Well, after doing some research on David, I found that he had turned his life to God and was huge into Christianity. Usually people would be skeptic to hear a serial killer turned their life to God but he seemed very genuine. Now, I'm not at all forgiving him for what he did by any means! But, I will say it was definitely a welcomed surprise.

In my letter I wrote normal small talk and casual conversation. How was he doing? Anything interesting happen lately? I also decided to personalize my letter some by explaining my personal experience with religion.

About two to three weeks later I had a white envelope addressed to me, from David Berkowitz himself.

It was odd going into it, it felt slightly heavy, something was obviously inside besides just a letter. Could I get bad vibes or energy just by touching something a serial killer had touched? With the same hands that had committed evil acts against innocent people.

I was shocked too see a small pamphlet about David and his new found way of life; he also has a website!

No shame to some self promo, I guess.

The letter entails some interesting information.

He had thanked me for writing to him, and for caring. He had let me know to not give up on life, and reading the Bible is good for my soul. In my previous letter to him I had let him know that I very much enjoy writing, and to that he replied with, "I want to encourage you to keep writing."

And lastly for David, he had actually typed the letter and apologized for not being able to keep a correspondence at the moment. Personal issues, perhaps?

The letter ends with a nice crisp signature.

The next letter I wrote was to Gary Ridgway; also known as the Green River killer.

I was iffy on writing to him, solely because his crime stance against women and, as a woman, it unnerves me. Ironically, it occured to me only when holding his letter that Ted Bundy had actually helped police catch him.

Anyways, it was definitely a different feeling than when I had received David's letter. Maybe it was because I had known that the same hands he used to sign this letter were also the same hands that wrapped around the throats of innocent women.

It took about two months to receive his letter, to be honest after getting David's letter I had pushed the entire "I also wrote a letter to Gary!" to the back of my head.

Gary's letter seemed slightly generic, a little over a paragraph long with a stock outline of a Bible at the bottom of the page. Compared to David's letter, it lacked emotion and an overall personal touch. It seemed as if he typed one letter out and signed them, sending them to every sender he got a letter from. I can only imagine how many letters a serial killer can get.

He had apologized for not writing back personally as he is currently experiencing health issues.

Gary had also sent seven different small pamphlets all titled Signs of The Times, each explaining different instances of needing God in your life. The letter itself was almost slightly grey, and it was dated the twenty second of March in two thousand twenty two.

His letter was shorter than David's and he recommended a few websites to me, as well as a prophet named Ellen G. White.

So who is Ellen G. White and why did a serial killer heavily recommend her to me? Well Ellen was an American author who had sadly passed in nineteen fifteen. Ellen was also a Seventh-day Adventist!

After some research I came across a small explanation about the religion.

"Adventists believe that the Second Coming of Christ will happen soon. Christ's return will be "will be literal, personal, visible, and worldwide". On that day the righteous dead will be resurrected and taken with him to heaven, together with the righteous living. The unrighteous will die."

Gary ended his letter with "P.S I hope you can find a Seventh-day Adventist Church to attend."

A nice signature from Gary and I had shoved the letter right into an unused drawer. Because, what else would one do with a letter from a serial killer? I haven't even touched said letters in almost a year until this very moment of writing this.

While the letters did give me the feeling of a tiny bit of insight into their lives, it also felt gross, dirty in a way.
