Letter/envelope set from the Pennsylvania necrophile serial killer.
This auction is for a letter from Pennsylvania serial killer Harrison Graham. From 1986 to 1987, Harrison Graham would kill seven women and pile them up in his apartment. The smell eventually led to his eviction and subsequent arrest. Harrison Graham admitted to strangling each victim. The defense argued that Harrison Graham was of diminished mental capacity and was suitable for the death penalty which prosecutors were seeking. After being found guilty on all the charges he was sentenced to six death sentences and one life term, the death sentences to be carried out after the life term. This was to prevent parole. In 2003, Harrison Graham was deemed incompetent, and his death sentences were commuted to life terms.
ITEM DESCRIPTION: The missive is two pages on two legal sized sheets of stationery, dated 9/7/1998, and is signed, "From H. Graham." The original mailing envelope is postmarked 9/8/1998. The letter and envelope come inside a protective magazine sleeve with an acid free board. Message me with any questions you might have. Thanks for having a look-see.
