Ted Bundy |
WASHINGTON— State Representative Dave Reichert is angered by an Internet auction currently underway at Murderauction.com, a Web site that claims to sell authentic true crime artifacts. The auction in question is for the sale of a vintage Volkswagen Beetle hubcap, allegedly removed from the vehicle convicted serial killer Ted Bundy drove while murdering young women in the 1970s. "The families of these victims experience enormous, life-consuming pain by the crime itself and don't deserve this horrible, additional exploitation," Reichert told Tradingmarkets.com. According to Tod Bohannon, proprietor of the auction Web site, the hubcap was removed from Bundy's car in 2002, after it was purchased at a police auction. The starting bid is $3,500.

Peter Norris Dupas |
AUSTRALIA— Last month, a Victorian Supreme Court jury found Peter Norris Dupas, 54, guilty in the 1997 murder of 25-year-old Mersina Halvagis. Dupas's attorney has now filed an appeal to that ruling on the grounds that his conviction was unsafe and unsatisfactory. Prior to his most recent conviction, Dupas was already serving two life sentences for the 1997 murder of prostitute Margaret Maher and the 1999 slaying of psychotherapist Nicole Patterson. Both women were stabbed and had their breasts cut off. Dupas remains a suspect in at least three other murders dating back to 1985. His appeal will cost taxpayers an estimated $15,000.
