This makes me sick and I wonder who would be thrilled what Olathe's most infamous internet serial killer and con men, John Robinson, did when he wasn't killing people. Who cares that he once wore a pinkie ring, sketched cartoons on an artist pad and dressed like Santa Claus for the Christmas holidays?
A disturbing auction site online is spreading the word to a subculture of “murderabilia” buffs everywhere: Items once owned by Johnson County's most infamous killer could be yours.
The Santa suit is going for $750.
A long expired Kansas driver's licence has a $1500 price tag.
A personal gold medal with cross has a starting bid of $75.
Stetson hat that John Robinson wore on online photos has a starting bid of $150.
I found over 30 personal items listed on various auction websites and the items are selling.
I know there is some whacky people out there, but you have got to be really whacky to think it is cool to have a murderers personal items in your home.
The objects were purportedly plucked by a stranger from boxes of Robinson’s personal junk, but I heard that John Robinson is selling things through a friend to get some cash. The organizer of the auction denies that John Robinson will benefit from the sale of items.
There is even a website with directions on how to be a pen pal with John Robinson and how to send him money. Looks like another con game by John Robinson.
Now you remember.
John Robinson’s arrest 12 years ago lifted the veil on a horrific history of forgery, theft and sexual sadomasochism. The bodies of three victims were discovered on his farm in La Cygne, Kansas. After connecting the dots, police discovered more bodies in Missouri. Since Robinson's arrest, bodies have been found in spots that Robinson frequented, including Iowa.
A onetime Scoutmaster with a penchant for conning people, John Robinson from Olathe, eventually acknowledged responsibility in the deaths of three other women whose bodies never turned up. They included the young mother of an infant girl adopted, through a scheme arranged by John Robinson, by his unsuspecting relatives in Illinois.
Prosecutors cited a profit motive behind most of his crimes, which in some cases involved his using the Internet handle “slavemaster” to lure women into a shadowy world of sexual bondage.
But there will be no payday for Robinson from the online auctions, stressed Gein of Serial Killers Ink, who declined to identify the source of the items.
Robinson’s family suspects the belongings were carried away by a salvage hunter at a neighborhood garage sale near the home of Robinson’s ex-wife, Nancy. Never implicated in his crimes, she filed for divorce in 2005 after 41 years of marriage.
“A man came to the fence and asked if she had any of (Robinson’s) stuff,” wrote son John Jr. in an e-mail to The Kansas City Star. “She told him that if he would haul it away, he could have all of it.
“He offered her some money, but all she wanted was the stuff gone. She had no idea that anyone would want any of his things or she would have burned them.”
If it is found that Olathe's internet killer is profiting from the sales of personal items should Robinson be stopped?
