David K. Frasier is a retired reference librarian and author/editor of Suicide in the Entertainment Industry, Murder Cases of the Twentieth Century, Russ Meyer: The Life and Films, and Show Business Homicides. Frasier gained an interest as a teen in show-business and entertainment crime from filmmaker and author Kenneth Anger's Hollywood Babylon, which he describes as "the very first tale of Hollywood sexcess, murder, suicide, and failed dreams." Frasier has since maintained a nearly 40-year friendship and correspondence with Anger. Around the same time, Frasier saw a double billing of Good Morning...and Goodbye! and Common-Law Cabin by Russ Meyer, a director known for his campy sexploitation films featuring large-breasted women. This discovery led Frasier to write a biography/bibliography/filmography of Russ Meyer and his works, sparking a decades-long friendship and leading to Frasier's editorial work on Meyer's autobiography, A Clean Breast. As Head of Technical Services at the Kinsey Institute, Frasier contacted serial killer John Wayne Gacy in prison to acquire his artwork for the Kinsey's collections. This led to several years of correspondence between Frasier and Gacy (and at least one visit) until Gacy's execution. More information on Frasier's complicated correspondence and acquaintance with Gacy can be found in his essay "Murder is My Beat," located in the John Wayne Gacy series of this collection.
