Joseph Duncan's Letter

Source

SPOKANE — A letter purportedly sent by convicted sex offender Joseph Edward Duncan III was listed on an Internet auction site specializing in selling items related to serial killers.

The letter was listed for auction starting at $20 on a site called murderauction.com. The seller was listed as jerry4516. Efforts to e-mail jerry4516 were kicked back with an error message.

The four-page letter, written in pencil, was allegedly written by Duncan from the Kootenai County Jail in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, where he is being held without bail on three murder charges.

The Web site included a picture of part of the letter, in which the writer thanked a person for support and discussed possibly posting the person's comments on his blog.

Duncan operated a blog in the two years before his arrest.

"Thanks again for writing and for your support," the letter concluded. "P.P.S. can you type fast? I have a lot to blog about!" He signed off with a smiley face.

The picture also showed the return address of an envelope identifying the sender as inmate Joseph Duncan from the Kootenai County Public Safety Building. The letter is no longer posted on the Web site.

Sheriff's spokesman Capt. Ben Wolfinger did not immediately return a call seeking comment on Duncan's correspondence.

Duncan was arrested July 2 in the company of Shasta Groene, 8, the lone survivor of the May 15 abductions and killings. He is scheduled to go on trial Jan. 17.









The though of a Blogging the Fifth Nail Part II, is to be honest disturbing.

Almost as disturbing as Duncan thanking someone for their support. Because normallu when you thank someone it is because they are doing what you are thanking them for. The thought of someone actually being supportive of Duncan is mind boggling- to say the least. At this point what kind of mindless idiot is jerry4516@sbcglobal.net- A quick yahoo search will offer you about half a dozen results on Jerry4516- One his yahoo radio station. And a GeoCities Serial Murder message board:

First Name : jerry
URL :
Comments : good website. What would u possibly write to a serial killer? What could u ask?
Location : texas
Email : jerry4516@sbcglobal.net

My guess is that he finally figured out what he could ask.

Concerning the letter, well the writer of the news clip above is more than wrong. I pulled it up in about 5 seconds. You may still find it here, but in case not, I screen captured it for you.

Someone please ask this nut case what he possibly is thinking. I snapped a image of the letter, which includes a "call me Jet" part, and where there seems to be a conversation about the whole blogging deal- with perhaps a hinting that he plans to consider blogging again via this idiot.



I've taken liberty to add a bit of contrast to this snap shot- and was able to pick up some of the writing on the reverse side of the letter. I believe with a little more editing, the reverse side could be read clearly.

Nicely done with the letter.

He had to have written Duncan purely for mercenary reasons...just so he could sell the letter online.

"Support" probably just refers to something friendly written in the letter to Duncan.

I hope that if the letter sells the buyer posts the full text.

He loves me, he loves me not, oh what the heck he loves me...

It seems to resemble a bit of a 3rd grade crush. Mag said first grade ... but it's really less annoying that having my ponytail pulled. He loves me... after all, he keeps linking to me . He loves me not... evidently that's why he uses my comments out of context and twists my words... he loves me, because clearly he likes to "poke the bear" (That 70's Show quote). Yes, I just referred to myself as a bear. A lot less hairy, but no less scary. Because anyone that thinks you should be locked up for the rest of your life is indeed scary. Especially when she likes to go around telling everyone how demented you are... and how she'd like to see you locked up forever. And even more scary when you know that it's the truth she speaks. And Lindsay, he is demented. And he should be locked up forever. And, well it seems that he is a fan of mine. Yep, that sick lil monkey can't help himself. He reads this here blog (which is a hint that you should share your thoughts...

Mom Arrested After Baby Found Mauled By Dogs

This is a story that I really don't want to share, it angers me all the while breaking my heart at how someone could be so cold and callous. My only comment is that there is always a better way. Some may of thought of going to the hospital, others may have thought about calling someone- anyone for help. But the complete disregard this person showed is horrifing. PORTSMOUTH, Ohio -- Investigators said the badly-mauled body of a newborn infant was found Tuesday afternoon on the banks of the Ohio River. The next day, the baby's 21-year-old mother was arrested after admitting to a hidden pregnancy. The mother told investigators that the baby was still-born at home. She said she panicked and disposed of the baby boy a few miles from her home, NBC 4's Erin Tate reported. The investigation began after authorities received a 911 call from a frantic mother. Dispatcher: "911, what's your emergency?" Caller: "My kids were just outside, telling me that the dog was ch...
