Pencil sketch by the Alaska double murderer.
This auction is for a pencil drawing by Alaska double murderer Carl Abuhl. In 2004, Carl Abuhl became the first inmate in Alaska to murder another inmate. Apparently, Carl Abuhl's cellmate like to brag about his crimes and Carl wasn't having it. He strangled him to death with a bed sheet. Carl Abuhl would receive an additional 30 years on top of the 77 he was already serving for murder. Carl Abuhl was featured on MSNBC's Lock-Up. His interview was memorable. When detailing his first murder, he said, "I smashed his skull. I mean I smashed it. Bad. I think the biggest piece of skull fragment they found was about the size of a half-dollar." Carl Abuhl's apparent motive for the homicide was the victim allegedly getting young women strung out on drugs. Carl Abuhl is suspected to have committed several additional homicides in other states.
ITEM DESCRIPTION: The pencil drawing measures 8.5"×11" and signed, "Carl W. Abuhl." The drawing is of Aileen Wuornos. Abuhl has written, "Portrait of Aileen Wuornos, serial killer of men, my kind of woman! ♥ Carl." The drawing comes inside a protective magazine sleeve with an acid free board and has been stored flat. Message me with any questions you might have. Thanks for having a look-see.
