Agreed. That's where I first heard of him. I agree that it should be added under pop culture. I was surprised not to see it there, but I also commonly listen to weird, niche music.

Had a similar "well that's a bit much" reaction, but it's not about censorship; it's about
WP:WEIGHT and
MOS:QUOTE. Wikipedia articles summarize the available sources, using direct quotes sparingly. What exactly do these letters offer the reader beyond a summary? It seems like it's just because of how lurid they are, which isn't a good reason to include. — Rhododendritestalk \\

Me too. The letters show how deeply twisted and broken he was. It really gives a glimpse into the depraved psyche of that terrible monster. It also shows the horror of the parents, the terror of the confirmation, even though not knowing feels worse. The terror and disgust of knowing what atrocities were committed to your child, who you loved, and were praying was still alive. It's a source that should be shared, but should possibly be warned about beforehand.
