Description

This auction is for a letter from Washington serial killer John Dwight Canaday. Between 1968 and 1969, John Canaday raped and murdered three young women. On 12/17/1968, John Canaday knocked on the door of a pregnant 16-year-old girl, the house picked at random. He then raped and stabbed the girl 57 times. John Canaday would go on to murder at least two more women in 1969, ages 20 and 21. It was those two murders that would earn him a death sentence, a sentence that would be overturned in 1972 with the U.S. Supreme Court striking down the death penalty. 35 years later his DNA was linked to the 1968 case. John Canaday would plead guilty and received an additional life sentence. John Canaday is considered to be Washington's first known serial killer.

ITEM DESCRIPTION: The missive is three pages on three sheets, dated 2/26/2007, and is signed, "John." In this introductory letter to a new pen pal, Canaday details his life inside the walls, from death row to his current situation. The original mailing envelope is postmarked 2/27/2007. The letter and envelope come inside a protective magazine sleeve with an acid free board and have been stored flat. Message me with any questions you might have. Thanks for having a look-see.
