dear mom murderer, woops, i mean rachelle
Rachelle Waterman is from Craig, Alaska, and she had her mother killed. Myself, and many others have become acutely obsessed with the live journal murderer (she discussed her hatred in a blog that was made known to the web community), so I decided to write her.
I began the process by phoning Lemon Creek Correctional Center.
"Hello, Lemon Creek, this is Jay."
"Hi, is it possible to write to.. umm... inma-umm... people in ja-umm... reside-"
"-You mean the prisoners?"
"Yeah, them. So, how do I address letters?"
"Well, just put their first name followed by our address."
"Oh, that's simple enough... And umm.. Can you put anything other than the letter in? Like stamps? And extra paper? And an envelope?"
"Nope. If you do it'll be destroyed. Just the letter in a plane envelope."
"Oh. Ok. Thank you Sir."
"Mhmm-bye."
Phew, as I wiped the sweat from my brow. So I wrote my letter and logged on to the webpage which I found quite amusing... @ http://www.correct.state.ak.us/corrections/institutions/lccc/
I sent the letter off last week... Maybe Rachelle is reading it this very moment...
Rachelle,
You’re wondering, who the heck is writing me a letter? I don’t know you. And quite possibly, this is the fifty-millionth letter that you’ve received like this. However, I wasn’t sure if that was the case, so I decided to give it a try; and write you a letter in hopes of a response.
I’m Elaina. I’m from Sitka. I’m pretty sure I’ve played a few softball games against you. I’ve been following your case. -I find it quite interesting. I’m considering flying over for the trial. I hope everything works out for you. I believe there is more to the story than is let on… From both sides. But who am I to make judgments about the situation?
Anyway, I read up a bit about Lemon Creek. Quite honestly, it didn’t sound that bad! I mean, you can take GUITAR lessons? Haha. That is down right awesome. But the whole being secluded, eating nasty food, and the rest doesn’t sound too appealing.
Well, I wont bog you down with too much reading material. If you’re interesting in being sort of pen pals (that is so cheesy, but what else can you call it?), then I’d love it if you respond. To make it easier for you, I was going to insert some postage, envelopes and paper. Maybe you already have that stuff, but I thought I’d give it a try anyway. However, then I called the facility, and they said that if I included anything other than a letter, it would be “destroyed.” So quite obviously, here is the bare letter. Oh, and I was also going to throw in a couple of articles that maybe you haven’t had an opportunity to see yet, but I don’t know if that’s ok…
So, take care Rachelle, and I look forward to your response.
Sincerely,
Elaina

How long ago was that written?
I never got to see what she wrote on her website or whatever, do you know where to find it, or has it been deleted?
Someone made a copy of her live journal, and here is the link:
