Danto writes that the murderer "kills children to avenge some
childhood hurt induced by his own parents toward who he is now
venting angry feelings." That is a hell of a way to get back at your
parents. In that chapter of the book, Danto seems to favor the
explanation that many murderers are psychotic and usually have either
a schizophrenic reaction or paranoid personality trait disturbance.
Don't forget that at that time the insanity defense was very viable
(pre-John Hinkley shooting Reagan). I bet he testified more often as
a defense witness than a witness for the state.

Your description of John at times going into kind of a trance-like
state seems consistent with mental illness.

As for the stuff in the Wolf book about the "Allen" letter sent to
Danto and his trip to the gay bar to meet this Allen--the killer(s)
could have just been f**king with Danto. The stuff John described to
you about John knowing the layout of Danto's yard, stalking him,
etc., was really strange. It could be that Danto was just ahead of
his time when he came up with the profile and theories, as well as
his plans for communicating with and flushing out the killer. The
killer gets pissed off at Danto's involvement and messes with him
(dumping Kristine's body on Bruce Lane, the phone call(s), the Allen
letter, the meeting at a gay bar). Another possibility is that Danto
had treated the killer or someone close to the killer and therefore
knew about his childhood issues, making it much more simple to come
up with the theories/profile. That is a leap, I know.

"To" <[e-mail]>
In no particular order:/I will be talking to "Allen" this afternoon/If you can think of any Questions I should ask him/then please get them to me before 11am....as I have a three hour window to call him.

1. Why are you coming forward now?

2. How can you assure me that you are in fact the same "Allen"?

3. Why did you write the letter and did you act alone or tell anybody else about it at the time or afterward? Where did you mail it from and can you describe what you put on the envelope?

4. Why did you mention the bar as a meeting place and did you go to the bar to watch for the police at the appointed time?

5. How old were you then?

6. How did you pick the names "Allen" and "Frank"? Why did you portray them as being in a master-slave relationship and as being gay?

7. How many times did you call Dr. Danto?

8. Do you recall what day/time?

9. What did Dr. Danto say to you?

10. Where did you call from?

11. Did you realize then or later that this had the potential to send the task force in the wrong direction?

12. Did you read about Danto's reaction in the newspaper?

13. Did you attempt to make any other contact with Danto at a later point?

12. Do you regret doing it?

You would need to talk to the police, but I have a feeling they won't do much with it--it makes them look bad and there's nothing they can do with it, really. But it is so important to demonstrate that someone is willing to come forward and it demonstrates what a joke this Allen letter is. If you are telling the truth, what do YOU think should be done with this information?
