Info
Albertfish.com is a documentary archive devoted to one of America's most notorious criminal cases — that of Albert Fish, the New York serial killer, cannibal, and child-murderer active between 1924 and 1934. The site presents itself as a scholarly documentary record organized around surviving primary sources: the complete known correspondence (the Budd letter of 1934, the Gaffney letter of 1935, and Fish's eleven-page confession to the Westchester County Grand Jury), the forensic and medical record (the Bellevue pelvic X-ray that revealed twenty-nine sewing needles, Dr. Frederic Wertham's psychiatric evaluation, and Detective William F. King's arrest file), and the trial and Sing Sing execution record, alongside a film catalogue and full bibliography. The editors emphasize a careful methodology — drawing on Westchester County Court records, and contemporary press reporting from the New York Times, Herald-Tribune, and Daily News — and state that the material is held for scholarly and historical research
