DENVER — The booming world of true crime is helping keep a dark online marketplace alive and raising disturbing questions about morbid mementos allegedly from notorious killers that are up for sale, including items from Colorado murderers that have led the state to open an investigation.

“There is absolutely nothing more nauseating and disgusting when you find out the person who murdered one of your loved ones now has items being hawked by third parties for pure profit,” said Kahn. William Harder runs Murderauction.com and makes his living selling items from high-profile killers. He considers himself both an entrepreneur and a collector.

“I'm kind of mystified,” said Sullivan. “It's like, really? Okay, so who's making the money and where's it going? And, you know, is there a way to stop this?” Christian Guzlow slashed a man experiencing homelessness to death with Freddy Krueger-style gloves in a restaurant parking lot in 2017. Guzlow was known to wear a demonic clown costume and was a death metal singer. His notoriety is helping fuel demand for contraband from Colorado's state prison.“You had to get that out from Point A to Point B. How did that happen? After your story airs, they will clamp down,” he said.
