"The Mad Butcher of Kingsbury Run"
Torso Murders/Facts/Letter
The following letter appeared in the Cleveland Press
Chief of Police Matowitz:
You can rest easy now, as I have come to sunny California for the winter. I felt
bad operating on those people, but science must advance. I shall astound the
medical profession, a man with only a D.C.
What did their lives mean in comparison to hundreds of sick and disease-twisted
bodies? Just laboratory guinea pigs found on any public street. No one missed
them when I failed. My last case was successful. I know now the feeling of
Pasteur, Thoreau and other pioneers.
Right now I have a volunteer who will absolutely prove my theory. They call me
mad and a butcher, but the truth will out.
I have failed but once here. The body has not been found and never will be, but
the head, minus the features, is buried on Century Boulevard, between Western
and Crenshaw. I feel it my duty to dispose of the bodies as I do. It is God's
will not to let them suffer.
(Signed) "X"
