Confessed serial killer Shawn Michael Grate, 40, was apprehended on September 13 and quickly confessed to multiple murders. Now some of his personal belongings are up for sale on Murderabilia.

The website specializes in selling just what it sounds like — items tied to killers. In Grate's case, this means two hand tracings available for $50 each.

Grate faces 23 felonies for the abductions, rapes and murders of several women. He was finally caught after a woman in Ashland called 911 saying Grate abducted her and she was being held against her will.

According to the website, the tracings were received from a third party.
