The "Happy Face Killer," a 70-year-old inmate serving four life sentences for murdering eight women, said he wants Idaho murderer Bryan Kohberger to be locked up with him in prison to help protect him from being killed.
Keith Jesperson, known as the "Happy Face Killer" for drawing smiley faces on letters he sent to the media and law enforcement, was a long-haul truck driver when he murdered eight women, mostly sex workers and transients, between 1990 and 1995. Now serving four life sentences at Oregon State Penitentiary in Salem, Jesperson recently wrote a letter to Keith Rovere, a former prison minister and podcast host of "The Lighter Side of True Crime," suggesting Kohberger, who pleaded guilty to killing four University of Idaho students in 2022, should be transferred to his facility for protection.
