What is Murdabilia?

Murderabilia concerns mementos, souvenirs or products associated with murder or murderer, especially serial murderers. Murderabilia may be from the crime scene, from an investigation or from a trap or a sick murderer. These items support subculture in America, instantly fascinated and repelled by murder. The demand for Murderabilia also supported the movement against the counter to stop the murder profit. Killer John Wayne gayce hid the bodies of 29 young men in a climbing space under his house and killed four more for 33 victims. Before his arrest, Gayce was a favorite neighbor who often dressed like a clown to have fun at children's parties. He created clown paintings from prison and generated reported $ 100,000 (USD) in income before his execution.

Danny Rolling is another prisoner that profited from Murderabilia. Rolling, known as "Gainesville Ripper", Waje convicted of the murder of five young students in Gainesville Florida from 1990. Rolling was also a fruitful prison artist who with proxy assistanceSondra London, a serial killer of Grounie, had his own website on time to present his art, writings and other murder.

Although there is plenty of demand for talented and untested serial killer art, murderers without interest in creative efforts turn to other forms of murderous. Autographs for pieces of paper, hair snippets and even nail clippings on the feet bring the price on the Murderabilia market. Collectors could hunt such objects such as the stolen tombstone Ed Gein, Hubcaps, so jackets, wood solutions from a murderer's house or from the refrigerator, where Jeffrey Dahmer held part of the victims.

The sale of Murderabilia is extremely offensive to the families of victims, for many of the enforcement of law and for many IVs to the general public, which believes that the murder should not be rewarded with a financial gain. In the mid -1970s New York passed "son Sam Law" to prevent the serial killer herself Berkowitz to pRodal his story to publishers. Many countries followed their own forms of law, but the language of such laws does not apply to Murderbilia.

With the advent of the Internet, many forms of Murderabilia were sold online on eBay and other places. While some sites, including eBay, have changed their policies in an effort to prevent certain types of murdering and selling, this practice continues to largely failed through various online stores and off. In most cases, Murderabilia is not illegal and its sale, although for some disgusting, it does not break any law.

u. S. Congressman David Reichert (R-Wa) hopes to change it. Reichert was formerly a royal regional sheriff and a key member of the Green River Task Force working group, which ended in the 2001eon Ridgway. On September 25, 2007, Reichert proposed a law to send the murder by posting by post. Brad Ellsworth (D-in) and John Cornyn (R-TX) are co-founders for lengthyé naming: "Stop the sale of Murderabilia to protect the law on the dignity of the victims of the 2007." Although the law does not criminalize Murderabilia, the inability to pass it by post would paralyze the sale.
