Steve Sailer and his readers are discussing cases in which famous writers got psychopathic murderers released from prison. One reader brought up a case I’d never heard of: Jack Unterweger, who may have strangled 13 (or even more) prostitutes in three countries on two continents.
I believe Unterweger was going to murder his live-in, young Austrian girlfriend, as well. When they were hiding out from the cops (in Miami, if memory serves), he set her up to work for an “escort service.” She had no idea what the term meant, so she went to the interview, realized what it was about, and the revolted young woman said, “Thanks but no thanks,” in an Austrian accent, and went home to “Jack.”
Since Jack Unterweger had never been alone with a prostitute without strangling her with her own brassiere, if his girlfriend had come home and told him that she’d turned tricks that night, I believe he would have strangled her, too.
By the way, I do not buy that “liberals” believe in “rehabilitating criminals.” They embrace evil, and want to help their clients spill more blood.

The most shocking case I know of a campaign to free a criminal gone awry is that of serial killer Jack Unterweger, in Austria, early nineties:

Many people, including law enforcement personnel (I suppose) laugh at the tired old saying with regards to “the killer retuning to the scene of the crime.” Ted Bundy very often returned to “the scene of the crime,” in particular, the areas, “the dumping grounds,” he called them, where he’d left the lifeless bodies of his young female victims in order to have sex with their corpses. It seemed Bundy had an extremely abnormal preference (to say the least) for sexually abusing the dead. The term is “necrophilia.”
Jack Unterweger, on the other hand, enjoyed his role as a true crime reporter both in Austria and the United States (specifically, California) revisiting the scenes of his crimes either after the fact as a police “ride along” or, if I’m not mistaken, while on an active police response to reports of a female body being discovered; two or three, I seem to recall, for which he was responsible.
These revisitings of crime scenes as a reporter in the company of the police, with their full cooperation, had to have been a supreme boost to his ego; he had to have enjoyed ride alongs immensely, asking questions and laughing to himself at the patrolmens’ and the homicide detectives’ haphazard guesses as to whom the killer might be, not realizing all the while he was sitting right there next to them or walking along paths leading to the corpses. It only bolstered his opinion of how cunning he was and how inept the police were.
Lastly, with regards to “the killer returning to the scene of the crime”: While on Death Row in Florida Bundy was trying to do anything and everything he could imagine to delay his execution date by offering his “specialized knowledge” of serial murderers at the time when Washington State was in the grip of what the newspapers were calling “The Green River Murderer.” Bundy’s most insistent advice: The police and homicide detectives MUST keep secret the news of another murder victim being found in order to stake out the area and conduct a constant surveillance while hidden among foliage and down in camouflaged foxholes and, of course, no police vehicles prowling or parked on nearby highways, keeping the scene and the surrounding areas as unpopulated as possible so the killer would feel at ease and return to the body.
