I am Gina Travis, and this is my confession told through a series of letters dated in January 2020. I warn you that my story is brutal and will haunt you long after you finish, yet I feel compelled to tell it so no one else will repeat my mistakes.
Five years ago, I found myself locked away-first in prison, then in a mental asylum-unable to convince anyone that what I witnessed and endured really happened. I'm certain memories of those events are clearer and more terrifying now than they were at the time, and I'm aware how easily a vivid imagination can distort reality. I insist I am sane, innocent, and not a killer, though I know some will doubt me. I want you to hear me out fully, without judgment, so you can understand what I endured and prevent it from harming someone else.
My tale begins with a life of extreme privilege in New York City. I grew up around wealth, studied criminal justice at John Jay College, and became close with Cody Farrell. Together we chose a real, less-known unsolved case to study for a college assignment: the Stellar Heights Camp killings of 1980, near New York City. We aimed to delve into the crime up close, even planning to gather our own photographs from the site, in hopes that our work would attract attention from the FBI.
This is my attempt to lay bare the nightmare I lived and the investigation I undertook with Cody, hoping that by telling the truth as I remember it, I can prevent it from ensnaring anyone else. If you read all my letters, perhaps you'll see the pattern of fear, survival, and culpability that led to my current confinement and the fragile line between truth and terror.
