Since being confined in 1988, David Elliot Penton , who authorities say has claimed to fellow cellmates of abducting and killing at least 50 children.
Penton, a former mechanic who moved between states in the 1980s, denied traveling across the country abducting, raping and killing children. He claims all of the police agencies and the FBI are conspiring against him to clear old abduction cases across the country.
“I’m not a monster, though I have been called a monster. But I didn’t go around the country killing little kids. You can either accept that or not,” he said loudly while using his hands to emphasize his claims. “They (the authorities) are working with each other just to clear up cases and I’m in prison and I can’t get out there to clear up my name. Who is going to believe a man convicted of a child murder?”
Penton was charged with the abduction and strangulation deaths of Christi Lynn Meeks, 5, of Mesquite; Christie Diane Proctor, 9, of Dallas; and Roxann Hope Reyes, 4,
The three Dallas-area girls were more than 20 years ago.

@Roxann Reyes comment (which is kind of sick, considering YOU are using the victims name) Who do you think you are trying to enforce your own brand of ‘free speech, unless I don’t like it’
I don’t know how ‘this site’ makes the families feel, because I would question why the hell they would go onto a site called “ask a serial killer” if they were tormented by it.
Go your own way and allow others to go theirs. I am interested in this site and what I am reading on here, if you aren’t, just go away.
