“She collaborated with Rolling in writing The Making of a Serial Killer: The Real Story of the Gainesville Murders, a psychological memoir which included Rolling’s confessions to five murders. It was illustrated by 50 pictures hand-drawn by Rolling in prison. The confessions were published in a three-part series appearing in the Globe.

Keith Jesperson, a serial killer known as The Happy Face Killer, sent Sondra London a series of murder confessions, which she posted to her AOL Home page in 1996. A year later, then-Governor of Wyoming Jim Geringer called for a boycott of America Online, protesting that he found the items to be offensive. Although London voluntarily removed the pages in question, AOL banned her from the AOL domain, which in turn prompted an outpouring of support from all over the World Wide Web, including multiple offers of free server space. London thanked Geringer on Larry King Live for catapulting her website into the limelight….” Wikipedia
