Harrison Graham

 VICTIMS: 7+

Harrison Graham was a retarded drug addict. He was well known in his neighborhood as such. He was also known as a guy who liked to play with the kiddies (not touch them, just play with them, get your mind out of the gutter. sicko.) When Harrison wasn't playing with the kids, he was constantly digging holes around his Philadelphia ghetto neighborhood. When asked what they were for, he would answer that they were graves for dogs, and because of his 'disability' no one really thought much about it. Silly Fuckers.

For Graham, this freedom of suspicion ended in August 1987. He had a fight with his landlords nephew and seemed to take exception to something said to him. The next day his apartment was found totally boarded up, with no sign of Harrison. It was believed he had taken off and boarded the place up out of spite, still angry about the argument. No one thought to unboard the place, as most thought he'd show up again, soon.

He didn't, and on August 9 police were called. There was a fucking foul stench coming from the apartment. When Police busted down the door, everyone found out that Harrison wasn't really that gentle after all.

When police entered the place they were immediately faced with two rotting female corpses. The floors were also covered in garbage, and once they had cleaned up a little, they found three full human skeletons. If this wasn't enough, when they checked the cupboards to see if Harrison had packed his clothes they found yet another body, bound and almost rotten to the point of skeletal. The police decided they better start looking into this Harrison Graham fellow.

Police started searching the neighborhood. But they didn't need to look too far for victim number seven. She was shoved up under the roof of the building that Graham lived in.

On August 11, the coroner reported that the fresher victims had been strangled in the past ten days.

And on August 14 victim number 8, or at least her skull and parts of her skeleton, was found buried beneath a dirt floor three houses down from Graham's.

Harrison Graham must have really been feeling the heat because on August 16 he walked into a police station and turned himself in. He quickly confessed to seven murders, leaving the final skeleton unaccounted for. He said that he had enticed the women, all junkie whores, with the promise of a fix. He then got them to follow him back to his apartment. Once there he would fuck them. Then give them the promised fix. Once the drugs had taken affect he would strangle the whores.

Harrison Graham was found competent to stand trial, and decided to waive his right to a trial by jury. Not surprisingly he was found guilty of seven murders. He was also found guilty on seven counts of my favourite charge, abusing a corpse.

INTERESTING BIT

Harrison Graham lived less than three miles from Gary Heidnik, and was captured just five months after Heidnik.

The sentence for Graham was one of the more unusual ones in history. For the first of his murders he was given LIFE in prison. But for the other six murders he was given DEATH. Basically that means that if he ever finds his way in front of the parole board, and is accepted for parole on the LIFE charge, he then has to go onto death row for the next murder. A most unusual sentence. His lawyer called it "compassionate and brilliant."

Thanks to Bonnie Kernene I now know that Harrison Graham is currently serving his sentence at the Greene Facility.
 

MY OPINION

Retards have always fascinated me. I always wondered what it is that goes through their minds, and in particular people like Martin Bryant and Harrison Graham. That's what makes Harrison so cool.
