The Circleville Letter Writer It looks like any other quaint all-American town. But in 1976, residents of Circleville, Ohio, began receiving mysterious, harassing letters. Thousands of letters, written in block letters were sent to city officials and citizens. The bizarre campaign turned deadly when one recipient, a school bus driver, received a letter accusing her of having an extra-marital affair. When her husband drove off to confront the writer after receiving a phone call, he was killed in an unexplained crash. The womans brother-in-law, thought to be the letter writer, was later convicted of her attempted murder. However, while he was in jail the letters continued despite him being in solitary confinement and the identity of the writer was never confirmed.
