Scott Peterson & Casey Anthony: Pen Pals? [DEBUNKED, Sorta - See Update]
Posted at 12:05 PM Oct 29, 2008
Some might say it's a match made in hell.
The Chicago Tribune is reporting that Scott Peterson and Casey Anthony are pen pals. Couldn't make that up if I tried. It's too perfect a confluence of tabloid true crime stories -- the handsome death row inmate, convicted of killing his wife Laci and unborn son Conner in 2005, and the pretty alleged killer of her own child, Caylee Anthony, who disappeared sometime last June. The two could never consummate any relationship, of course, but they'd make some pretty, completely conscienceless babies if they didhttp://mt.laweekly.com/mt.cgi?__mode=view&_type=entry&id=146057&blog_id=149, I guess.
When the Tribune tried to confirm the correspondence with a spokesperson at the Orange County, Florida jail where Casey is being held, they were simply told that "inmate correspondence is not public record." I just want to know if Peterson's trying to find out what Anthony [allegedly] did right, because in his case, the remains of the victims were eventually discovered.
Anyway, ew. Some stories one just steps away from, you know? They could only lead to nightmares, in the end. [ChicagoTribune.com. Also: Check out DreaminDemon.com, where blogger "Imp" predicted this exact development weeks ago, during a podcast.]
**UPDATE**
Somehow, this is kind of a relief: "Convicted killer Scott Peterson not writing Casey Anthony in jail."
Long & short of it is this -- officials at the facility where Casey is being held have determined that Casey Anthony "has never received a letter from the convicted killer."
The twist? "OrlandoSentinel.com found that the story may have originated with Anthony, who talked to a corrections officer about mail she received."
Casey's lawyer says she's received mail from a Peterson in San Diego, but nothing from Scott Peterson himself.

It's like a comic book where Lex Luthor and the Joker become pals. Except instead of entertainment, it produces nausea. Ick.
Posted 10/29/2008 at 01:42:24 PMHey at least they have something in common to build a bond on. Let's leave the happy, homicidal couple be.
Posted 10/29/2008 at 03:15:26 PMI'd been so hoping that Casey and Drew Peterson could get together.
They'd spend their days figuring out how to off the other one, until (hopefully) they get the jobs done.
And at no expense to us taxpayers.
We can hope...
Posted 10/29/2008 at 04:02:53 PMEww is right.
Posted 10/29/2008 at 04:17:42 PMIt's also been reported that Mr. Peterson is a correspondent of Kristin Rossum (who cast American Beauty roses around her husband's corpse after murdering him with medical supplies pinched from work). Wonders never cease.
Posted 10/29/2008 at 04:39:53 PMIck and double Ick. However, it is a perfect match. Thank goodness they will never be able to be "together" in the biblical sense.
Posted 10/29/2008 at 04:51:47 PMThere's a match made in Hell. Birds of a feather, like attracts like, yada yada.....I hope neither one of them ever sees the light of day again. Creepy.
Posted 10/29/2008 at 04:53:20 PMOrlando Sentinel says it's not true...
Those two really would be a match made in hell.

Posted 10/29/2008 at 08:42:15 PMSteve, a warning next time? Seeing BOTH of those mugshots, side by side, frightened me. You could have saved them for Halloween!
Posted 10/30/2008 at 11:16:54 AMActually, they should be required to become penpals as part of their punishment. They could discuss the relative merits of killing a child after it is born as opposed to just before.
Posted 10/30/2008 at 07:32:10 PMAnd I agree with Soobs, Steve. Please post a warning next time you plan to post these two mugs side by side.
