Anthony Sowell attempts to raise money by selling letters on a serial killer website. A website that sells letters and personal items from America's serial killers has listed letters written by accused serial killer, Anthony Sowell from Cleveland, Ohio. Thursday, the families of the victims have made it clear that they want it to stop. Sowell has been charged with murder, rape, assault and corpse abuse and is being held while he awaits trial.
Serialkillersink.net is the controversy website that posted letters, envelopes and a Christmas card from Anthony Sowell. The letters and card were listed for $200, envelopes were $100, and according to the website they were sent from Sowell. Four of five items show out of stock.
One of the letters listed for $200 on the website states: "I can only get money orders at this time and yes, I can receive pictures. P.S. the 25 dollars is fine. Thank you."
Fox News reported that Dorothy Pollard, the aunt of murder victim Diane Turner said,"I think it was a damn shame that he was even permitted to do it and whoever was supplying him with paper, they have no damn conscience and they can't care about nobody because he shouldn't be supplied with anything down there."
"No way should he be allowed to receive anything and profit off of anything for all the pain that he has caused," Fox News reported.
The owner of the website Serialkillersink.net said that inmates do not get paid for the items sold on their site and that most of the customers are criminology professors who use the letters in classes, according to Fox News.
Fox News reported that the Cuyahoga County jail said that Sowell has had several small money deposits made to his jail account.
In October, Anthony Sowell was accused of rape and felonious assault, an arrest warrant was issued for Sowell and then a search warrant for his house. The police entered his house on October 29 and have found at least 11 decomposed bodies.
They search was extended throughout the house, the backyard and knocked down the walls of the house. Sowell was a convicted sex offender who had spent time in jail, but was off probation.
In a similar case in 2007, two men in Utah went missing for over a month until their bodies were discovered buried under a shed in a shallow grave. The entire area was surrounded with junk that the owner collected. The police suspected a registered sex offender, Martin Nelson that was already in jail at the time the bodies were found. Nelson has been convicted of the two men's deaths. Another young man disappeared around the same time, and it was suspected that Nelson was also responsible for his disappearance, according to KSL.
