He also listed his conditions for granting an interview, with statements like, “tell me who you are,” “why I should trust you,” and “[affirm] that you understand that I am NOT mentally ill.”
It comes as his brother, David, who helped investigators find him, wrote a new book detailing his brother’s struggle with mental illness.
“Clearly he had to be stopped, and I don’t think there was any other way to stop him,” David said back in 2015 to CBS News. “I sometimes think maybe earlier in his life---he was my older brother. Maybe if I had recognized how seriously disturbed he was, I could have been more helpful to him.”
The letter was sent to Wright in April 2016.
“In order to determine who will get the interview, I am asking you to write me back affirming that you understand that I am not mentally ill, as my brother, Dave, would have you believe,” he wrote in full.
It’s unclear what Wright will do with the letter.
“Thanks, Ted, you’re not nuts at all,” he quipped in his tweet.
