https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jason_Moss_(writer)
In 1994, Moss was an 18-year-old college student at UNLV. While studying for his honors thesis, he established relationships by correspondence with John Wayne Gacy, Richard Ramirez, Henry Lee Lucas, Jeffrey Dahmer, and Charles Manson. He obtained samples of correspondence from and interviews with these men. Moss researched what would most interest each subject, and cast himself in the role of disciple, admirer, surrogate, or potential victim.
In his book Moss said that he had been interested in a career with the FBI. He thought that gaining the trust of a serial killer, possibly learning more about their stated crimes or unsolved murders, was a way to distinguish himself as a job candidate.[1]
Moss forged the strongest relationship with Gacy; their letters led to regular Sunday morning phone calls, during which Gacy reiterated his innocence even as he gave Moss a guided tour of his world. In the book, Moss recounts his correspondence and eventual two meetings with Gacy about two months before the killer was executed. Moss believed that he became Gacy's "last victim" after this face-to-face meeting in prison, in essence being psychologically overpowered by the manipulative, depraved sociopath. For a time he suffered nightmares from the encounter.[2] Moss felt that this misadventure allowed him to understand how a killer's mind works in controlling the vulnerable and forcing them to submission. He based the title of his book on this episode.
Reception:
The book became a bestseller, selling 76,000 copies in its first 10 weeks. In 2000 the paperback edition also appeared on the Bestseller List of the New York Times.
Sales were boosted by controversy over Moss's methods. The author was interviewed on TV's 20/20and Hard Copy, and radio's The Howard Stern Show.
People argued whether Moss was exploiting the lurid histories of these killers or whether he contributed to studies of criminal psychology.
Suicide
Jason Moss died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head in his Henderson, Nevada home on the morning of June 6, 2006.[2] The significance, if any, of his chosen suicide date (6/6/06) has been the subject of speculation.
According to his co-author Kottler, Moss reportedly had delved "heavily into Satanic stuff" while researching material to prepare for his correspondence with serial killers and while writing his book, but sounded upbeat in their last conversation before his death.[2]

Francis Wayne Alexander (2021)
https://www.fox32chicago.com/news/authorities-identify-another-victim-of-serial-killer-john-wayne-gacy
Alexander was 20-years-old and just getting divorced when he moved to Chicago from New York in 1975. He lived in an apartment in in the 900 block of West Winona in the Uptown neighborhood, working in a number of clubs and bars in the area.
Then, in 1976, he disappeared.
"There was family that loved him, but he made decisions in his life that led them to believe he just wanted to be left alone," Dart said.
Alexander was bisexual, and police believe he likely encountered Gacy in one of the clubs where the serial killer hunted for his victims.
In 1978, police discovered 29 bodies buried beneath Gacy’s Norwood Township home. He was later charged with murdering 33 young men and teenage boys. Many of the victims, including Alexander, could not be identified.
Until now.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 21 (UPI) White House photographer took a picture last spring of Rosalynn Carter shaking hands with John Wayne Gacy, a mass murder suspect, and the First Lady later autographed it for him, the White House said today. Mary Hoyt, Mrs. Carter's press secretary, commented on the picture after The Chicago Sun‐Times published a copyright photograph of the Mrs. Carter with Mr. Gacy, who under indictment on suspicion of having killed 32 young men after having sexual relations with them. The picture was taken last May 6 in Chicago at a reception after a Polish Constitution Day celebraton. It is signed, “To John Gacy, best wishes, Rosalynn Carter.” It shows Mr. Gacy wearing a big “S” on his lapel, indicating that he had been given security clearance. A Secret Service spokesman would offer no comment except to say he was “looking into the matter.”

Col. Reilly was born Jan. 9, 1899, in Ossining, N.Y. At age 17, he left home to enlist in the Army and fight in World War I, where he earned the rank of sergeant.
Back home after the war, he attended Eastman Commercial Business College, took the civil service exam and was stationed as an administrative assistant at the United States Public Health Hospital in Dwight, Ill. He then became an accountant with the Illinois Commerce Commission.
But in 1925, he took a job that would be a preview of most of the rest of his life`s work, in the public relations department of Samuel Insull`s Public Service Co. of Northern Illinois. In 1933, Insull loaned Reilly out to the Century of Progress fair committee to help plan opening-day festivities, a deal that became long-term when the committee signed him up to run the two-year exposition.
After the fair, Col. Reilly returned to the Public Service Co., but soon he was off again, this time to plan the 1939 World`s Fair in New York. When his son developed asthma, Col. Reilly moved his family to Arizona, where he managed a Phoenix radio station until World War II when Col. Reilly and his first wife enlisted, both as captains because of National Guard duty.
When his wife was killed in an auto accident in Virginia, Col. Reilly went to Mannheim, Germany, to become the military governor. There he attained the rank of lieutenant colonel and met ballerina Herta Bolle, who would become his second wife.
Wow!! Is all I can say I'm trying to connect dots and all that you guys have found is just wow.. instresting
It gave me the idea to write to Wayne Henely who is still alive and I think still incarcerated
Totally. He appears to have some sort of repentance. I don’t think I reminded another i can say the same. The things about these spawns of evil is that there is a very real spiritual presence with each of them. And these spirits are seductive And deceptive. Deception is more then a passing whim, it can become a permanent reality. The Bible says “resist the devil and he will flee from you.” The opposite of that, I’m guessing is, ”draw close to the devil and he will cling to you, if not worse.”
This story is intriguin, but that’s as close as one wants with it
I often think about how interesting it would be to write serial killers but this case stops me. After all, we know who these people are and who they’re connected to.
If I were to write to one SK I would choose David Berkowitz. He seems remorseful...
