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.

The Senate Judiciary Committee gave quick, unanimous approval to Hatch's bill Thursday, clearing its way for consideration by the full Senate. But Sen.

There's so much to work with, I'm going to just hit as much as I can. Ashely Simpson decided to pick a fight at McDonald's. Betting millions that if the employee would just go and get the manager- the manager would just love her. Simpson's climbing on the counter and irate behavior where in typical White Trash Style. Great coverage at Stereogum. Tom Cruise has decidedly canned his sister for her inability to help him keep his mouth shut. Evidently he needs a real professional as his PR person- in order to keep him in line. It's just not right firing family because you're and idiot.

Boyfriends...

I sometimes wonder if certain men have some sort of animal DNA breed into them. The type of DNA or whatever it is that makes animals ritually preform certain actions. Like lions, when a male lion takes over a pride it'll often kill the offspring of the previous male, before mating with the female lions and creating cubs of it's own. I only wonder this, because it seems like there are an overwhelming number of men out there that end up killing the children of their girlfriends, not all of them do- but on a case by case comparison between girlfriends killing their boyfriends offspring and boyfriends doing it, it just seems that it's a lot more common amoung men. NOT THAT ALL OF THEM DO THIS... there are some great boyfriends/stepfathers out there that actually take care of kids as if they are their own... but then we have cases like Christopher Thunborg and Kashon Scott. Thunborg was babysitting his girlfriend's 11 month of baby in March when police say he caused ...
