This new Polaroid of Ed Kemper at the CMF in Vacaville surfaced yesterday on Instagram. According to its owner, it was taken some time between 1995 and 1999. The man standing next to Kemper is unknown. He is probably a visitor.
Thanks to serialkillermurderabilia for sharing this item from their awesome collection!

As mentioned on his blog My Life – Tumbled, Mr. Tranchina is preparing a book of photographs he took of Ed Kemper in prison. No release date has been announced yet.
