The 42-year-old charity worker from Portland discovered the chilling letter hidden between the two novelty headstones when she opened the kit in October. Keith's first instinct was to turn to Facebook to ask her friends for tips on what to do and to spread the message. 'I found this in a box of Halloween decorations,' she typed beneath a photo of the letter. The post quickly prompted a flurry of responses.
'I'm sure that person feared for his/her life to include that letter in the products, but it was a chance they were obviously willing to take,' one friend wrote 'What's weird to me is someone is actually thinking about, and praying something comes of this... every day of their life since they sent it out,' another wrote. 'Makes me sad this even happens.'
Sears Holdings Corporation, which owns Kmart and is the company financially benefiting from this slavery, said in a statement that it was also investigating the matter.
As of press time, this site could not confirm with Canadian officials as to whether our own prison officials were now being extra vigilant to ensure no Canadian prisoner attempted a similar letter.
