Douglas Clark card/envelope 12/15/2007 DECEASED

This auction is for a homemade Christmas card from deceased California "Sunset Strip Slayer" Douglas Daniel Clark (3/10/1948 - 10/12/2023). In 1980, Douglas Clark, with accomplice Carol Bundy, 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. Carol Bundy ended up being the weak link and started a dialogue with law enforcement that resulted in their arrest. Douglas Clark claimed he was innocent, with little to no knowledge of the of the crimes seemingly to be happening all around him. Carol Bundy struck a deal with prosecutors in order to escape the death penalty, which Douglas Clark received in 1983 with her testimony. Douglas Clark continued to maintain his innocence and was very active in his appeal. Carol Bundy died of natural causes while serving life in prison in 2003. Douglas Clark died while awaiting execution of natural causes on 10/12/2023. He was 76.

ITEM DESCRIPTION: The Christmas card is simply a folded sheet of paper, signed, "Doug." Clark has written his address on the card, as well. When you open the sheet of paper there's a full-page missive on the reverse. The original envelope is postmarked 12/15/2007. The card 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.
