This auction is for a letter from executed Texas serial killer Troy James Clark (9/2/1967 - 9/26/2018). On 5/1/1998, Troy Clark, with accomplice Tory Gene Bush, kidnapped a former roommate. He locked her in a closet and played video games and sold drugs. Eventuallythe female victim was taken into the bathroom where she was beaten before being drowned in the bath tub. The couple then put her body into a 55-gallon barrel with cement mix and lime and dumped it. Her body wouldn't be discovered for five months. Troy Clark killed at least one person before and after this crime, but was never formally charged. During his trial he told the jury, "I really ain't got no story to tell. It's just I want the death penalty." Troy Clark would be convicted and sentenced to death on 3/30/2000. Tory Bush, who turned on Troy Clark, received 20 years. Troy Clark was executed on 9/26/2018. He was 51.
ITEM DESCRIPTION: The missive is one page, dated 4/5/2018, and signed, "Troy." Clark has drawn a few doodles in the letter, asking the original recipient to come visit. I love the part where he writes, "You need to understand that I beleive in God, but I don't want a visit about that." Seems that Clark has other things in mind! The original mailing envelope is postmarked 4/6/2007. 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.
