Hadden Clark grew up in an affluent home in Troy, New York, with alcoholic parents who were abusive to their four children. Not only did Hadden suffer the abuse that his siblings suffered, but his mother, when drunk, would dress him in girl's clothing and call him Kristen. His father had another name for him when he was drunk. He would call him "retard."
The emotional and physical abuse took its
The emotional and physical abuse took its
toll on the Clark children. One of his brothers, Bradfield, murdered his girlfriend, cut her into pieces, then cooked and ate part of her breasts. When he sobered up he confessed his crimes to police.
His other brother, Geoff, was convicted of spousal abuse and his sister, Alison, ran away from home when she was a teen and later denounced her family.
Hadden Clark showed common psychopathic tendencies during his childhood years. He was a bully who seemed to enjoy hurting other kids and also found pleasure in torturing and killing animals.
After going through 14 different jobs between 1974 and 1982, Clark joined the U.S. Navy as a cook, but apparently his shipmates did not like his propensity to wearing woman's underwear and on occasion would beat him. He received a medical discharge after being diagnosed as a paranoid schizophrenic.
After leaving the Navy, Clark went to live with his brother Geoff in Silver Springs, Maryland, but was asked to leave after he was caught masturbating in front of Geoff's young children.
While packing up his belongings, six-year-old neighbor, Michelle Dorr, came by looking for his niece. No one was home, but Clark told the young girl his niece was in her bedroom and followed her into the house where he butchered her with a knife and cannibalized her, then buried her body in a shallow grave in a near-by park. The child's father was the key suspect in her disappearance.
In 1992, Clark was working as a part-time gardener for Penny Houghteling in Bethesda, Maryland. When Laura Houghteling, Penny's daughter, returned home from college, Clark resented the competition it created for Penny's attention. As a result, he murdered her and buried her in a shallow grave near a campsite where he was living.
He was arrested within days of the murder and received a 30 year prison sentence after pleading guilty to second degree murder.
While in prison Clark bragged to fellow inmates about murdering several women, including Michelle Dorr. One of his cell mates reported the information to authorities and Clark was arrested, tried and found guilty of murdering Dorr. He was given an additional 30-year prison sentence.
In an interview with Hadden he was asked about his favorite movie and he replied:
I like a lot of Science Fiction movies such as Star Trek and Star Wars. I like westerns and gangster movies too. My favorite actor is Clint Eastwood.
And he was asked if he would like to share anything else and replied:
Yes, I can't wait for some photos of you when you were a little girl. And some cute greeting cards with little girls on them. As for people who read about me on the website, please know that I currently have no job and it costs money to write letters. I'm tired of hearing all the excuses people have for not sending me money. Furthermore, I won't be sending out any more sign language art unless I get greeting cards or money orders in return. I have noticed a lot of new people writing since December and most of them stop writing after I send them a greeting. So as of 2009, there will be no more greetings unless I get something first. Oh, and in prison my name is Mr. Bunny Rabbit. So if you send me a card, be sure to address me as Mr. Bunny Rabbit.
