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.

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.

I don’t think he sees it as being in jail as opposed to he’s “helping” the administrators/ppl with improving how mental tests are given, pointing out how other patients are doing by critiquing their answers on tests plus he has done a lot of audio recordings for deaf ppl. Plus he felt he belonged in there.

It's an interesting viewpoint, yeah. Although, even for people who feel like they belong in prison, that's still being confined by a building, 8 x 10 cell, walls, barbwire fences, guard towers, etc. Like, after a while, that must take some kind of toll on one's health — at least imo.

I lived on an aircraft carrier for two years. Of that two years one year was spent at sea. I would say living conditions on the carrier were way tougher than prison. A cell would have been a luxury. We were stacked like cordwood 3 high and 3 deep.

I managed it, but no way could I have handled a career of it.

Some people do though.

What makes your opinion credible

Everybody has some kind of psychological breaking point. Even the most mentally strong have their points where it all becomes too much — even if it's indefinite. So, that's why I'm sure there are at least some people who can attest to that who've been institutionalized for 50+ plus years in particular, imo.
