    Would be great to find the letters and read through everything. Did your uncle have any kids he would have left everything to?
    No kids, hence why I asked for them.  He had a buddy whom he made a deal w and whomever died first they got each others stuff.  I have no idea who the person is or I Would have contacted him.
    Sounds like a deal some people should make around here. My wife and kids have no interest in my posters and vinyl.

    Pretty wild! I’ve found that whole Manson/Mindhunter stuff to be really interesting. Especially the Manson cult and its relationship to the era it occurred in.

    For a few years I worked closely with people who were either getting ready to be released, or who had been recently released from correctional facilities here in MN. Repeat sex offenders, murder one convictions, theft,  you name it. In all the dealings, I only met one person who made me very, very uncomfortable.  A textbook sociopath. Even the others in my program, hard guys, didn’t want to be around this guy. He’s now serving life in a federal prison for interstate kidnapping and attempted murder of a US Marshall.

    Buddy of mine was the psychologist for Angola state prison.  That man has some stories.  He is a God fearing man and claimed that some people behind those walls "were not fit to breathe air"...

    that is a pretty awesome story.

    i was thinking "how did charlie know where he lived to keep sending people to his home??"

    then i remembered they were sharing letters, so of course he had his address, lol

    sorry, long week for me.

    hopefully the letters can be found.

    My husband watched Gary Heidnik for a long time. Also guarded the Narducci  brothers and some high level Muslims as well. He said Heidnik was the most deranged he ever worked around. Said  you could see the insanity in his eyes.

    Try and find his original record out there.  It's worth a fortune.

    So we got that new Discovery streaming package and we were watching Most Evil where killers are rated 1-22 as most evil. Our friend (not really just who my husband guarded) Gary Heidnik was rated a 22!! We just looked at each other!  My husband certainly knows his evil killers!

    We watched the Movie "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" last night.  Excellent!  I had no idea how it would end and just loved the way it went.  Oh, if only.
