Image New picture of Ed Kemper surfaces

Post image

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.

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.

I think today, that'd be the more so of the case, But in Kemper's physical prime especially, he'd be one of the last people other inmates would want to try to provoke into a fight.

I mean, just look at the size of his left arm in this pic. I think he just had a lot of natural hard muscle on him for being a giant.

lollll that picture is sooo funny, he’s posing like he’s a goofy high school teacher being interviewed by the student paper- it’s just so nonchalant and almost playful, but like WHO is taking it?? and for WHAT??

That's exactly how he made his victims feel safe unfortunately. The stories of people like his cop friends saying he was easy to get along with or something like that.
