Carol Bundy letter/envelope 5/16/1997 DECEASED

This auction is a letter from deceased California "Sunset Strip Slayer" Carol Bundy (8/26/1942 – 12/9/2003). In 1980 Bundy, with accomplice Douglas Clark, went on a sadistic murder spree targeting mostly young girls for rape and murder. The case has elements of necrophilia. The pair are credited with killing at least seven victims. Bundy ended up being the weak link and started a dialogue with law enforcement that resulted in their arrest. Clark claimed he was innocent, with little to no knowledge of the of the crimes seemingly to be happening all around him. Bundy struck a deal with prosecutors in order to escape the death penalty, which Clark received in 1983 with her testimony. Clark continues to maintain his innocence and is currently very active in his appeal. Bundy died of natural causes while serving life in prison in 2003. She was 61.
