Letters from John Lennon's killer to be sold [View all]
In his time as a New York City police officer, Stephen Spiro says that it only happened to him once.
Typically, the people he arrested wanted nothing to do with him.
But then, few things about the case of Mark David Chapman were typical.
Chapman, the man convicted of killing former Beatle John Lennon, wrote Spiro, his arresting officer, four letters.
In the letters, Chapman repeatedly tells Spiro to read "The Catcher in the Rye," saying the book would explain much of what happened the night of the murder, December 8, 1980.

The letters will be on sale for $75,000, said Gary Zimet, who runs the Moments in Time site.
The site is also selling a "Double Fantasy" record album, which Lennon signed for Chapman before his murder, for $650,000.
