Any ideas about Ed Kemper's genealogy? I have this:

https://en.geneastar.org/genealogy/kempere/edmund-kemper

and I need to know if Frederick Augustus Kemper (b. 1861) was connected to family of John Kemper (colonist from Germanna - Virginia, XVIII century).

I have a book about Kempers from Virginia but I have also hard time with reading genealogy in English

I'm looking for connection between Ed Kemper's family and James S. Kemper Sr. or James S. Kemper Jr. (both from Kemper Insurance Companies in Chicago). There is some possibility for this (Ed Kemper was from Burbank, CA):

Chicago Tribune Chicago, Illinois 17 Dec 1960, Sat • Page 29

(James S. Kemper Jr. = naval intelligence officer;

John Kempers of Palos Verdes = (probably) John Pemberton Kemper = staff sargeant in the U.S. Army, John was assigned to an intelligence unit that monitored and decrypted Morse code transmissions from the Pacific theater)

Let's revisit his 1973 trial for the murder of six coeds, his mother and her best friend, during his cross examination by District Attorney Peter Chang, where Kemper reflected on his psychiatric diagnosis:

Peter Chang: How would you diagnose yourself, Mr. Kemper?

Ed Kemper: I believe very dearly and honestly there are two people inside of me and at times one of them takes over.

Peter Chang: You disagree with the court-appointed psychiatrist who diagnosed you as a sex maniac?

Ed Kemper: I don’t believe I am.

Peter Chang: Why do you tend to blame others for what you have done?

Ed Kemper: I feel there are others involved. I don’t believe I was born to be this way.

Peter Chang: Do you think society thinks what you’ve done is grossly evil?

Ed Kemper: Right now, yes.

Peter Chang: Horrendous?

Ed Kemper: Yes, but there are times those things don’t even enter my mind.

Documents from the Santa Cruz Sheriff Office:

There were some notes found in Herb Mullin's apartment after he was captured two different pieces of paper. One was like a flyer for a play. He had written: ''I'm the hitchhike killer.'' Which is interesting because he picked up only victim Mary Guilfoyle.

Clarnell Stage from Great Falls, Montana, would be the subject of some seventy society-page newspaper articles before her death in Santa Cruz, California, at age fifty-two in 1973. She wasn’t an obvious candidate. Clarnell’s father was a pipefitter, but her mother, Nellie, had ambitions to a “better” class. The newspaper articles in its “society” pages began in 1931 on Clarnell’s tenth birthday, when the Great Falls Tribune described the extravagant party her mother threw for her. Over the next ten years, the paper reported on Clarnell’s progress in the Girl Scouts, her appearances at social events and the parties and events she organized and clubs she led. She chaired the Great Falls Junior Women’s Club at the YMCA and organized charity events for underprivileged children on Christmas.

When Clarnell graduated high school, the newspaper featured a quarter-page studio portrait of the stern and buck-toothed, hatchet-faced girl with a determined and commanding look on her face. The caption extolled her membership in the Quill and Scroll, the Young Authors club, the school orchestra, the Little Symphony and the Rainbow Girls Assembly. Not only was Clarnell smart and ambitious; she was six feet tall, towering over most boys and men in Great Falls. Her height, her determined jawline, her brilliance and drive were surely a one-way ticket to a busy social life devoid of a romantic, personal, private one.

After graduating, Clarnell went to work as a collector for the Internal Revenue Service in Helena, Montana, where she ruthlessly pursued tax debtors. Very quickly, the hard-nosed and efficient Clarnell rose to the rank of deputy collector, and she was elected president of the local branch of the National Federation of Federal Employees. Clarnell ruled with a stern hand both members and nonmember federal employees in Helena, admonishing nonmembers to toe the Federation line. As the war began and the men went away, Clarnell’s power and ambition grew.

In 1942, twenty-one-year-old Clarnell met the man of her dreams: twenty-three-year-old US Army staff sergeant Edmund Emil Kemper Jr. of North Hollywood, California, stationed at Fort Harrison near Helena. At six feet eight, a man towered over her for once, and not just any man, but a handsome, dashing Special Forces commando with an aristocratic pencil-thin mustache and shiny paratrooper wings on the left breast of his crisp uniform. And Edmund wasn’t just a muscle-head staff sergeant; he was future executive officer material, in her opinion, as smart and ambitious as she was. She immediately saw themselves as a power couple.

Like Clarnell, her beau came from a blue-collar family striving for better things. Edmund Emil Kemper Sr. worked as a mechanic for the California Department of Highways, while Edmund’s mother, Maude Hughey Kemper, was an ambitious painter and a published author of boys’ adventure stories, appearing in the social pages of Los Angeles papers. Maude founded and chaired a writers’ club in North Hollywood and was a precinct organizer for the Democratic Party there.25 Clarnell could see somebody just like that for a future mother-in-law as clearly as she could see the palm trees and coconuts of sunny California as she shivered in the cold of backwoods Montana.

After completing high school, Edmund had enlisted in an Army engineering battalion in 1939. When the US entered the war in 1941, he was recruited into a newly formed 1,400-man elite airborne commando unit, the legendary First Special Service Force (FSSF)—which would become known as the Devil’s Brigade. Recruits were drawn from among experienced soldiers in the US and Canadian armies with backgrounds as rangers, lumberjacks, north woodsmen, hunters, prospectors, explorers and game wardens. Edmund must have had something special and was quickly promoted to staff sergeant. The FSSF was sent to Fort Harrison, Montana, to train for future forest and mountain special operations in Europe. Clarnell and Edmund were married in a Methodist ceremony at her parents’ home in Great Falls on Thanksgiving Day, November 26, 1942.

On April 15, 1943, Edmund and the FSSF left Montana and began a series of deployments: to the East Coast of the US, to the Aleutian Islands in Alaska, and to Morocco, from where they would launch toward Italy.

Back home, on November 8, 1943, the first of their three children was born, Susan Hughey. By then, Edmund was deployed in Italy with the FSSF’s Second Regiment, Second Battalion. On the night of December 1, Edmund’s regiment of 418 commandos was ordered to scale a thousand-foot cliff to the top of Monte La Difensa in Campania, between Rome and Naples. Their mission—a suicide mission for all intents and purposes—was to take out the German panzer-grenadiers of the elite Hermann Göring Division dug in on a series of mountaintops.

From December 2 to January 8, 1944, in fierce mountain fighting, the FSSF suffered 77 percent casualties: 91 dead, 9 missing, 313 wounded and 116 neuropsychiatric casualties.

Edmund was one of the 23 percent to survive. After just a three-week regroup, the Devil’s Brigade was thrown back into combat on February 1, 1944, in the Battle of Anzio, south of Rome.

Operating clandestinely behind the German lines, the FSSF terrorized the Nazis by silently killing sentries or cutting the throats of sleeping soldiers in foxholes, leaving one alive to spread the news on awakening. The Germans nicknamed the FSSF the “Black Devils” because of their night camouflage. The FSSF left cards on German dead whom they had ambushed in the night. The cards showed the unit’s insignia, a bloodred stone-flint arrowhead, with text in German: “Das dicke Ende kommt noch,” roughly translating to “The worst is yet to come.”

The FSSF would see ninety-nine continuous days of combat before they were relieved early in May 1944. By August, they were in combat again, this time in Southern France in Operation Dragoon, attacking German island fortifications. By the end of the war, the Devil’s Brigade had killed or wounded some 12,000 Germans, captured 7,000 prisoners and sustained in return a final casualty rate of over 600 percent.

Film director Quentin Tarantino would later say that the commandos in his 2009 movie Inglourious Basterds were based on the Devil’s Brigade.

Edmund finally came home from the Army in 1946 and took Clarnell and Susan home with him to sunny California, to live the post war dream.

After the war, Clarnell’s hometown newspaper, reporting on her visit home, casually mentioned that her husband had been “wounded during combat [at] Anzio.” The nature of Edmund’s wound, whether physical or otherwise, is obscured. Nobody talked about it. But when Edmund returned home, he no longer was the same.

After killing and decapitating his mother, Clarnell Strandberg, early on the Saturday before Easter of 1973, Ed Kemper scrawled a cryptic note for police and spent much of the day drinking. That evening, he invited his mother’s co-worker and close friend Sara Hallett to a surprise dinner, then choked her to death and fled in her car.

“Not sloppy + incomplete, gents, just a “lack of time.”

Got things to do!!!

Appx 5:15 AM Saturday.

No need for her to suffer anymore at the hands of this horrible “murderous butcher.”

It was quick – asleep – no pain. The way I wanted it.”

Also, I find the whole scenario in which Kemper is mailed a note of "thanks" (replete with photograph!) for his "work" on the Nixon re-election campaign--a campaign on which Kemper denies having worked, for a man whom he denied having voted--to Kemper's home, to be very strange.

Apparently, it arrived whilst Kemper was on the "run" & he found it post-confession, upon his return (or it was found, as he was in custody in Pueblo [good old Colorado--shows up so often in murder, missing people, & depravity...wonder why he went THERE???] & would not have had opportunity to check his mail, presumably).

If he had seen it before murdering his Mother & her friend, or before confessing, I would be tempted to view it as some kind of programming trigger-message (& it may have been, for something which occured post-arrest, of course--although what that might be, I am at a loss to even guess).

Given, as Lucas Pickford has said "there are no coincidences in assassination & murder" (sorry if I paraphrased, Lucas--hopefully I preserved your point, anyway), & given that the cryptocrats seem to (in my opinion & experience) LOVE their little signs, symbols, & depraved inside-"jokes", it seems unlikely that it was a "mistake" or "coincidence," to me.

What it WAS though, I do not know.

Nor, do I solidly know what to make of both Kemper's & Mullins' reported association with the Jaycees--though I would GUESS that such is neither accident, nor coincidence, either.

Does anyone have insight they care to share on either of these points?

Thank you! ❤️

Bless all y'all.

I have not been able to get the video , in which Kemper admits to being part of a cult, to play, darnit!

Would someone be so kind as to fill me in on what he said & the context--if someone has the time & energy?

I would so greatly appreciate it!

Thank you! ❤️

Dr. Erich Fromm, a psychoanalyst who has been one of very few specialists inquiring into this aberration stated he believes that a necrophiliac’s abnormal attraction to sexual acts with the dead bodies can be traced to a distortion to the child’s incestuous impulses toward his mother.

‘’I had a weird sexual drive that started early, a lot earlier than normal, before I was aware of very strong sensual drive. I was sensually attracted to grown women as early as seven or eight.’’ Ed recalled.’’

Author Margaret Cheney mentions in her book social workers being at the house however, so it is unclear whether Edmund II ultimately did report Clarnell for child abuse. No records of it exist anymore, if they ever did.

He had murderous fantasies about several of his mother’s women friends. He can still recall them by name and has kept track of where they have moved since.

‘’They paroled me right back to Mama. Well, my mother and I started right in on horrendous battles, just horrible battles, violent and vicious. I’ve never been in such a vicious verbal battle with anyone. It would go to fists with a man, but this was my mother and I couldn’t stand the thought of my mother and I doing these things. She insisted on it, and just over stupid things. I remember one roof raiser was over whether I should have my teeth cleaned.’’

Excerpt of statement by Edmund Emil Kemper the third about Clarnell Strandberg

‘’I had always considered my mother very formidable, very fierce and very foreboding. She had always been a very big influence in my life and whether I hated her or loved her, it was very dynamic. And the night she died, or the morning, it was amazing to me how vulnerable, how human she was. It shocked me for quite some time. I’m not sure it still doesn’t shock me. (Long pause) I felt quite relieved after her death.’’

Excerpt of statement by Edmund Emil Kemper the third about Clarnell Strandberg

Kemper refers to Sally Hallett, his last victim, as not only his mother’s friend but also her “lover.”

The father had been in a ‘’suicide unit’’ of the U.S. Army during World War 2. ''The war never ceased.'' Upon his return he tried college under the GI Bill, couldn’t get back into studying, argued like a staff sergeant with the instructors, dropped out and worked rapidly into the electrical business.

‘’His mother affected me as a grown man more than three hundred ninety-six days and nights of fighting on the front did. I became confused and was not certain of anything for quite a time.’’

‘’I found out that his mother made him at the age of eight years sleep in the cellar of the house for about eight months.’’

His father remarried, a German emigree with a son two years older than Ed. In August 1963, Ed ran away to his father in Van Nuys and was allowed to remain two months before returning to Montana. The boy blamed his father’s new wife and later told psychiatrists the woman had appeared naked before him, using her sexuality to take his father away from him.

Here is a never-before-seen photo of 15-year-old Ed Kemper having a meal with his stepfather, Harold Strandberg, his mother’s third husband, in Helena, Montana, in August 1964. Shortly after, Kemper returned to his grandparents’ ranch in North Fork, and murdered them.

Ed’s grandfather was a retired California Division of Highways worker and his grandmother was a writer and artist, who lived in the Sierra foothills community of North Fork in Tulare County.

‘’Guy - nickname for Ed Kemper - is a real weirdo and you are taking a real chance leaving him with your parents. You might be surprised to wake up some morning and learn they had been killed,’’ Clarnell was quoted as warning.

Five years after entering Atascadero, Ed Kemper was turned over to the California Youth Authority, who kept him three months and recommended he be paroled to his mother for another eighteen months. This parole had been the direct opposite to what psychiatrists at Atascadero had recommended.

‘’I see no psychiatric reason to consider him to be a danger to himself or any other member of society. His motorcycle and driving habits would appear to be more of a threat to his own life and health than any threat he is presently to anyone else.’’

Excerpt from psychiatric evaluation written following September 18, 1972, interview. Subject: Edmund Emil Kemper the third

He once explained to a neighbor girl, twenty-year-old Carla Gervasoni, that the arguments between him and his mother were just the way they expressed themselves as a family.

‘’When possible, girls especially, stay in dorms after midnight with the doors locked. ‘’if you must be out at night--walk in pairs. ‘’DON’T HITCH a ride, please! If you feel you must hitch a ride--do it with a friend, but NOT ALONE. Try to choose cars with University parking decals (A, B, C, or R).’’

Excerpts from University of California warning to students posted on bulletin boards Santa Cruz campus. (Kemper's car had such a sticker...)

Gabriel Pesce (The father of Mary Ann Pesce) was named international operations director for Abex’ aerospace division, the family had its home in fashionable Las Posas Estates in Camarillo, a town of twenty-two thousand in Ventura County.

‘’She was very trusting of other people. She had lived in Europe, you know, where people are different. That’s what got her in trouble sometimes.’’

Girlhood friend discussing Mary Ann Pesce

‘’This is the first time in her life she has ever hitchhiked. She always told us everything and she never did.’’

Parents discussing Anita Luchessa

The first two victims [Pesce and Luchessa] were convinced the FBI and the CIA and Interpol were going to come looking for ‘em two hours after they were missing. Both of ‘em had money. Ritzy families. Real important. ‘Boy, if I don’t call daddy, we’ll be missed.” - Kemper

As published in GQ (Britain), February 1991

There was speculation that Cynthia Ann ‘’Cindy’’ Shall’s disappearance was connected to a pending narcotics trial. Ray Belgard, chief investigator for the district attorney, refuted that by reminding newsmen she had been scheduled as a defense witness and was no threat to any suspected narcotics ring.

A two-thousand reward was posted anonymously by a family friend in San Rafael, seeking information leading to an arrest and conviction of her murderer.

‘’We didn’t do it for the money. We did it because it established my daughter as a person, as a dancer, and it made us all feel good and we had much joy out of it.’’

Skaidrete Rubene Koo, testimony before Santa Cruz County Grand Jury

Kemper became the youngest member signing up for the Junior Chamber of Commerce (Jaycees)

Removal of the victims’ hands he tried to dismiss as being a means of destroying or making more difficult their identification. His mother’s hands were jokingly referred to as the ‘’hands of God.’’

Questions about some of the details of the slaying of his mother and Mrs. Hallet drew only partial answers. When queries were made about removal of hands, which had seemed ritualistic in the cases of his mother, Alice Liu and Anita Luchessa, he dismissed them as meant to complicate identification.

He would not discuss removal of the heads beyond some flippant descriptions of how some of the blood and tissue were eliminated.

He took pictures of all of his victims with a Polaroid in various positions and poses.

He had no reasonable explanation for having hauled some of the girls’ heads around in his car trunk for days.

While he bragged of having taken great care to hide his tracks, he also ‘’chortled’’ about burying the torso of Aiko Koo behind the house of his friend Bob McFazden.

One of his close friends was youth counselor Bob McFazdin.

He dropped a bullet he had taken from one of his victims beside the road in Aptos, near his mother’s home.

A surfer found a severed hand floating near the beach at Capitola, nearly sixty miles north. A torso washed ashore further north at Natural Bridges State Park beach on the edge of Santa Cruz, police announced the body appeared to have been severed with a meat saw at the rib cage.

A coordinated effort between Monterey County and Santa Cruz City police investigations involved pathologists from San Mateo County who began a painstaking attempt to see whether all the parts came from the same person.

A Marina woman caused a momentary interruption when she declared that the parts found in Monterey were certainly those of her daughter, who she believed had run away with ‘’hippie types’’ a few days before. Mrs. Grace Melville contended that the toes, toenails and skin texture were similar to those of her daughter, Masaye Kobayshi, seventeen.

Devil’s Slide is a name given to a steep, rocky coastal promontory located about midway between Montara and the Linda Mar District of Pacifica. The terrain is characterized by steep, eroded slopes with natural gradients ranging between 30 and 50%.

On February 8, 1973 the newspapers announced on their front page the disappearances of Rosalind Thorpe and Alice Liu. By a curious coincidence, two of Kemper’s work colleagues found the beheaded corpses of the two girls on February 14; they were identified a week later. The medical examiner indicated to the investigators that the assassin(s) probably had medical knowledge or acted according to a strange ritual, because Cindy’s Achilles tendons had been cut. Kemper did it to satisfy his necrophilic desires, to prevent cadaverous rigidity and to keep the body “warm”.

(This also happened to Paul Bernardo & Karla Homolka's victim Kristen French)

Victim Alice Liu, twenty-one, was the daughter of an aeronautical engineer from Los Angeles and is in her final year of studies at the University of California.

Source: L’Ogre de Santa Cruz by Stéphane Bourgoin

Alice Liu was a member of the Future Teachers Club, served as treasurer of the California Scholarship Federation, was an officer in the Creative Writing Club, French Club and Interclub Council, and a member of the Tartar Ladies service organization.

Principal Harold Klonecky recalled her as a vibrant girl, who had appeared in the senior play and in modern dance recitals on behalf of the Youth for Nixon organization during the 1968 Presidential campaign.

“I didn’t go hog-wild and totally limp. What I’m saying is, I found myself doing things in an attempt to make things fit together inside. I was doing sexual probings and things, I mean, in a sense of striking out, or reaching out and grabbing, and pulling to me. But appalled at the sense that it wasn’t working, that isn’t the way it’s supposed to be, that isn’t the way I want it. You see what I’m saying? And yet I get, during that time, I become engaged to someone who is young, and is beautiful, and very much the same advantages, and very much the same upbringing, and Disneyland values. And, uh, she’s very much the reason I surrendered.”

-ED KEMPER ABOUT GETTING ENGAGED DURING HIS CRIME SPREE

Not much is known about Kemper’s fiancee, as she has never gone public with her story. After Kemper’s arrest, she was apparently very much in shock, and went into seclusion. Her parents sent her away from Turlock. Officials at her high school, where she was in her senior year, consented to excuse her from classes until the emotional pressure on her let up, and allowed her to graduate with her class.

Police said a newspaper clipping reporting the engagement was found with Kemper’s belongings in the Aptos apartment where he lived with his mother. In his bedroom, they also found the picture of a beautiful blonde said to be a fiancee of Kemper.

We know that she had met Kemper at Santa Cruz beach in the summer of 1972. Her age varies according to reports between 16, 17 or 18 years old. Her first name might have been Martha, but this is unverified information from a social media source.

While he was in the Santa Cruz jail [during his 1973 trial], Kemper got along famously with the other prisoners. Jovial and fun-loving by nature, at least with male companions, he genuinely enjoyed the companionship of the communal cellblock. According to other inmates, the jail authorities were feeding him sedatives. The downs apparently had little effect on him, and he stopped taking them, preferring to trade them for extra food from the prisoners employed as “kitchen trustees.”

Ed Kemper involved sister Allyn in his dark games

Ed Kemper had a dark fantasy life as a child and teenager: he performed rituals with his younger sister Allyn’s dolls that culminated in him removing their heads and hands. Some of his favorite games to play as a child were “Gas Chamber” and “Electric Chair”, in which he asked Allyn to tie him up and flip an imaginary switch, and then he would tumble over and writhe on the floor, pretending that he was being executed by gas inhalation or electric shock.

Sources: “Serial Killers: The Method and Madness of Monsters”, Vronsky, Peter (2004) / Wikipedia Ed Kemper page / Photo of Allyn Kemper (18 years old) from the Soquel High School yearbook, 1969

In the early 1970s, Allyn Kemper did some modelling for the Drug Abuse Preventive Center (DAPC), as recounted in this Santa Cruz Sentinel article:

Yellow – the color of sunshine, is Moonbeam’s choice for this two-piece hostess skirt and vest worn with a Hawaiian print blouse by Allyn Burke [Kemper’s sister had taken her first husband’s (Patrick Burke) name]. She’ll be one of the models tonight at the fashion show which benefits the Drug Abuse Preventive Center. Place is the Elks Club; time is 7:30 and tickets will be available at the door. Fashions, for both men and women will be shown with the shops to include the Moonbeam, Glad Rags, the Lime Tree and Hackbarth’s.

Allyn Burke hopes to care for poultry, if the DAPC gets a farm.

As for this rare photo, it looks like it was taken in the early 1980s at the California Medical Facility in Vacaville, in the cafeteria or in a visitors’ room. It might be that Kemper was having a meal with people from the American Foundation for the Blind in prison, an organization linked to the Vacaville Blind Project, in which Kemper was involved as a reader and a coordinator for many years.

"During the period when Kemper had been transported to and from the San Mateo County Jail for trial, he had become acquainted with a slightly built Santa Cruz County sheriff’s deputy named Bruce Colomy, a man not much older than himself. Colomy had been kind to the gigantic defendant. Although no one would ever have confused the deputy with John Wayne, he nevertheless represented another father figure to Kemper. “He’s more like a father to me than anyone I have ever known,” he said. “He’s like the father I wish I had had.”

While imprisoned at Atascadero in the late 1960s, Kemper became a member of the Junior Chamber of Commerce (Jaycees). During his trial, he wore his membership pin in his lapel, apparently with pride.

[Before being taken to state prison after his sentencing], slowly, Kemper removed the precious Junior Chamber of Commerce pin from the lapel of his buckskin jacket. Colomy described this episode, a scene that would have wrenched the heart of any B-grade movie fan. “Ed looked at it for a long time and tears came to his eyes. Then he handed it to me and said, ‘Here, I want you to have it.’”

To this day I still think that Nixon as President of the US, made that 'Manson is Guilty' statement publicly on purpose to deliberately cause a mistrial in the Manson case. Which could have theoretically provided a trial collapse and a convenient out for Manson, however the judge decided against ruling for one. Before his Presidency, Nixon was a practicing lawyer who was a partner of the New York firm of Nixon, Mudge, Rose, Guthrie, & Alexander. Although he didn't practice criminal law, Nixon definitely knew what acts could legally constitute a mistrial in a trial case.
