Writing A Serial Killer

Writing a serial killer takes moxie and guts. ( And a bit nuts) However they are mere mortal men sitting in a cell and more in likely will die there. It isnt a science, its just communication. Because of my past experience with the criminal justice system, I know how to talk the talk and walk the walk. 

A few women asked me if I thought these guys would write them, maybe but more in likely not. Serial killers hate women believe it or not, duh. If you do write one they will often eventually get them to send money and all that. Desperate and lonely women will often write a guy in prison because that is the only attention they get in their life. Remember, these guys murdered women, cut them up, strangled them, tortured them. 

I get into their minds like I did when I did time with them. I get to know about their personal life, how they were raised and where they grew up. Then I talk serious with them, stuff I cant mention here because there are those that will try to use my methods. Again, it's not rocket science, but it is what I call an "art" to communicating with them.

I have to remember to not let it get to me. I get into their minds and their thoughts as I write them and they do the same. Both can be manipulated. I try not to get caught up in the hate and evil that is there. Believe me, there is a lot of evil there and risk as well. 

Every one of us has the potential to become a serial killer and murderer. These guys just snap and let the animal we call man take over. At their weakest moment, they turn into monsters to satisfy that craving for satisfaction and attention they want so badly. 

Some of these guys grew up in normal households, one you wouldnt think would turn into a monster. Then there are those who were abused badly throughout their lives, whether as a child or an adult. Abuse can be mental or physical whether by a woman or a man. The two ladies I was intimately involved with were Peggy Jean Keener "The Black Widow Of Friendswood" and Ana Trujillo The Stiletto Killer. Both were abused physically and emotionally in their lives. Not saying that is an excuse for what they did. But just putting it out there that any one of us can someday just snap and just let that anger and hate come out and take it out on the the weakest person in their lives. 

I write some of these guys to solve cold cases. To extract information from them. I tell them I do not judge them which I dont. I tell them I dont care why or the reasons behind the killing. I merely want to know where the victims are and thats it. You wouldnt believe the information I get from them, hints and clues they will write. You have to know where to read between the lines in each letter because as they write,, their moods change, first comes the evil then the regret and the hate. You  have to kind of decipher the letter and as I write them back and tell them I understand, they are more open in the letters afterwards. That is one of the secrets to writing a serial killer or murderer in prison. Remember, these guys know they are never getting out, they have nothing to lose. I am their "safe zone" or "neutral zone" and I befriend them. I have learned quite a bit from them. And learning more......

Why?

Several people have asked me why I do this...well the answer is simple..."Its just the right thing to do".  I am a full supporter of "good" law enforcement. They have a tough job. But I have learned while working as an advocate for the missing that LE (Law Enforcement) has an unwritten policy about priority cases. 

Take a look around at the thousands that are missing, most are just merely girls or guy next door.A lot of them are runaway's or prostitutes that the families have given up on or "disowned" That itself is sad, because then police put them on the bottom of the pile and concentrate on the missing whose families have money or some kind of status.  It costs money for resources to investigate a missing person or a person found dead. If the person dead is a prostitute believe me they are not going to be quick or determined to solve her case. But if the girl found dead is a sweet girl who comes from a "well off" family, rest assure that LE will work hard to solve that case. 

IN the case of April Eaves, one that Stallings admitted killing and dumping in an abandoned trailer, she was a 19 year old who police say was a prostitute. In my eyes, she was still a young girl who got caught up in things she felt was her comfort zone. Who could she have been today if she wasn't savagely murdered and strangled with her very own hair ribbon?

LE calls them (off the record) "misdemeanor murders" 

Me, well I call them murders, so do the parents, the siblings and the friends. These girls are buried and forgotten just like the files that sit in the homicide divisions across this country, in the bottom, buried and forgotten.

There are a few more like me out here. Determined to find justice for these girls. Some of us aren't like the majority of the population, the ones who really don't care and don't want to get involved UNLESS it happens to someone close to them. 

There is a saying: "The dead cannot cry out for justice, it is up to the living to do so for them."

I dont get paid for this, I do this solely to get justice for these girls...all of them. The ones without a voice. 

LE is quick to discredit anyone who works on these kind of cases because we are not law enforcement. They actually believe they are the only ones that should be doing this, without help from the public because they are arrogant.  They want to be the ones standing in front of that microphone saying how hard they worked to solve this...yea and if you believe that I have some ocean front property in Arizona to sell you.

Gone are the days of good journalism, the truth. Reporters as they are called now just want a sound byte and some video with blood in it hopefully. They are actually brainwashed that LE is diligently working on these cases. Some is LE have tried to discredit me and pass that info to local reporters, but as I talk to a few of these reporters I open their eyes to the truth and it leaves them wondering. However, a reporter will ALWAYS believe what a person in LE will tell them and report it. It is then they are led away from the truth, sad fact but that is just the way media is now, basically government controlled.

I sit here, on a weeknight, working on this and cold cases while the rest of you sleep in your safe zone, not knowing what is really going on out that front door, or you can say, not wanting to know what is going on. I will still get up, work like always and still look for justice for these girls. I see the world differently than most people. While everyone live in their unicorn and fairy tale world, I see the world as it really is...EVIL. And there are a few of us sheepdogs that will do what we are called to do. If you turn up missing I hope your family never relies on just LE looking into the case.  

AS you sleep think about those of us who are up late at night doing this and gathering information and giving it to LE so they can go on camera saying they solved the case. We are the unknown, the shadow in the background. We are the ones assuring the families that justice will be served and we work on it harder to pressure LE to do their job and get these families closure.  We do this because we want too. We do this risking our lives. We do this despite the people saying "How much money is that putting in your pocket?"  

I have communicated with several killers, suspects in multiple murders doing time behind bars. I do this because I can somehow get them to open up about their life and why they did what they did. I get them to confess, I get them to trust me. I dont judge them, thats up to God and a court of law. 

Are your doors locked when you go to bed?

A Page from one of Stallings letters regarding Janet Doe in the killing fields.

Ok folks, lets put this out there. Amanda has been missing since December 8th and foul play is for sure. Please post this on your Facebook and anywhere you can. She has a kid and Mom that misses her deeply. We need to get them some semblance of closure. If anyone had seen her back in December or know anything about the case please contact me researchtexas@comcast.net

There are details that I cannot go into right now but this looks like its going to end bad. But anyone with information please contact me, you will remain anonymous.

As usual, law enforcement in Onalaska Texas dropped the ball on this one.  I guess some departments dont have to abide by state law, or they actually didnt know what they were doing. I wont let this be just another "mistake or "statistic"  If she were the daughter of a senator the investigation would have been done by the book and the suspect sitting in jail. 

UPDATE! 5-8-2016

Ok, glad I record my calls. There are two possibilities now. I cannot release the info but keeping fingers crossed and you all do the same. First I advised certain folks to look at a certain spot but because of the weather they were unable to do so. However something was found and though I cannot release the details I will update when things are confirmed.

2nd possibility is an area north of here. After speaking with everyone involved and advising folks involved to apply pressure on the authorities, they have released items for testing. I had to go back on my phone call recordings to get the dates correct. 

Everyone please keep Amanda's family i your prayers....Will update when I can.
