Eels and the Egg-man
Eels and the Egg-man (@EelsandtheEgman) is a Twitter user who is internet friends with Helena Fiorenza and Kenneth Engelhardt. Because Eels lives in the United States and Helena does not, he has sent and received correspondence to/from Chris at Central Virginia Regional Jail on Helena's behalf, thereby saving Chris the inconvenience of sending mail internationally. Eels also posts the letters to Twitter, though he will sometimes choose to summarize the contents instead of releasing the full letters.[1]
Eels made the following tweet on 10 July 2022:
| “ | Mission statement:
If chris ever tells me something illegal/or too juicy (i.e. "hey Eels you know how I said I didn't fuck barb, well I lied I really did it!") in his letters and tells me not to publish them, I will publish it regardless of chris' request |

Chris's last letter to Eels and Helena was dated 21 July 2022. It is not clear if their correspondence broke off because of Chris's case being sealed or because of Chris burning his bridges with Kenneth, but at any rate, Chris has not written to any of the three since then.
Eels sent Chris a letter in December 2022 and another in late January 2023 but has received no reply to either.[3]
