Son of Sam WIll Not Seek Parole

Okay, if you are Crazy 4 Crazies, you might have heard this already, but this one is hot off the Associated Press wires:

“Son of Sam” serial killer David Berkowitz says he has no interest in seeking parole.

Berkowitz says in a letter to FoxNews.com that he is already a “free man” and that Jesus Christ has already forgiven him, even if society never will.

Berkowitz terrorized New York City over 13 months in 1976 and 1977, killing six women and shooting seven others.

Berkowitz, formerly of Yonkers, is serving six consecutive 25-years-to-life sentences at the maximum-security Sullivan Correctional Facility northwest of New York City.

He has been denied parole five times and has been in prison 34 years. His is eligible for a sixth parole hearing next year.

Serial Killer Bedtime Stories: Micajah & Wiley Harpe

Tonight's serial killer bedtime story about Micajah & Wiley Harpe, proves, yet again, that the family that plays together stays together.

Brothers Big and Little Harpe have been credited by historian Paul I. Wellman with 30+ murders in Kentucky and Tennessee in the 1790's. The wandering types, they enjoyed killing on whim. Once Big Harpe quieted a crying baby by bashing its skull in. Many victims were disposed by stuffing stones within their abdomens before dumping them in the nearest river.

They used a more dramatic method of killing when they temporarily joined Sam Mason's river pirates. After the gang had taken a man prisoner, the Harpes bound him naked to the back of a horse and goaded it to run over a cliff into the Ohio River. Though the river pirates had a reputation for being hard cases, this was too much for them and the Harpes were sent packing. Shortly after that a posse of citizens caught up with Big Harpe and mounted his severed head on a tree. Little Harpe, not as psychotic as his brother, met an uncertain fate, possibly being killed in a river boat fight.

Sweet dreams, and may you remain forever Crazy 4 Crazies.
