Keith Jesperson – A Serial Killer
Keith Jesperson is a Canadian-born American serial killer known as the “Happy Face Killer” for the smiley face he drew on his many letters to the media and prosecutors. He first drew the smiley face on the wall of a toilet where he left an anonymous confession to killing Taunja Bennett, this was hundreds of miles away from the scene of the crime. When that didn’t elicit a response, he began writing letters.
Moore lived with her father until the divorce in 1990 between Keith Jesperson and her mother Rose. Melissa noticed her dad was different when she was in elementary school. Their house bordered an apple orchard, and her dad killed stray cats and gophers that wandered nearby. But one day she watched, horrified, as he hanged stray kittens from the family’s clothes line and beat them. He also watched and laughed as the kittens clawed each other to escape.
