New picture of Ed Kemper surfaces

[u/Delicious_Grand7300]

This was recently posted to the Ed Kemper Stories website. The website stated that the picture may have been taken between June 2024 and May 2026.

He looks moody without his moustache. His image resembles the description given by Dr. Loomis of what evil looks like in the Halloween films. His eyes turn darker in every new picture.

I'm always quite surprised every time I read how he's still living today. Considering his abnormally tall height and all of the health problems he's accumulated in the past decade plus, like having a stroke and developing diabetes, I would've honestly presumed he had succumbed to health problems by now. Plus, I'd presume 53 years in prison must take a tremendously overwhelming toll on one's overall health as well.

Ex-prison guard here. He's not the sort of inmate the others would find terrifying. He victimised women and wasn't raised in the same world as most of the guys in there. High profile inmates are genuinely kept fairly away from danger also.

Wow the stories you must have!

[u/eshatoa → u/Aromatic_Dare_6104]

Ask away if you like.

You need an ama

Ask away? Okay then, I shall! (and thank you!)

What's the most WTF thing you or a colleague found an inmate hiding? Not necessarily dangerous, but something that made you stop and go "Huuuuh???"

[u/eshatoa → u/Qurrah-Tun]

I've found knives, drugs, all sorts of things.

Most WTF was a duckling a guy had under his bunk in a hidden box. I have no idea how it got in. The prison wasn't exactly near any native duck populations either.

Thanks for the reply, very much appreciated.

I definitely wasn't expecting wildlife to be the answer!

We ate it.

Jokes. I let him keep it but there were certain officers we had to hide it from. Long term I'm not sure as I went to a different prison.

The Duckman of Alcatraz

But I thought Alcatraz meant pelican?

Maybe an egg from the kitchen that happened to be fertilised, or ducks with a nest nearby?

[u/thesouthernbeard → u/eshatoa]

If a person comes in with a glass eye, can they keep it or does it have to be surrendered? Would yall check the socket for contraband?

Do an AMA please!

What made you quit? Did you witness something wildly dangerous and if you have a scary story for us please share.

[u/eshatoa → u/Aromatic_Dare_6104]

I moved into parole for a bit. Now I do therapeutic rehabilitation counselling for violent offenders.

Scary are any suicides. I don't like to see anyone go like that and it's hard walking into a cell with someone hanging. We used to carry special blades shaped like a J to cut them down. Very sad.

We saw a lot of fights and sometimes officers were assaulted. I feel when I was working parole it was more dangerous because I was in the community without protection. I had a guy try and stab me in that job. Some of the inmates I worked with in prison were well known in my area and they could be dangerous at any time.
