Catcher in the Rye-related shootings

Over the years Salinger's novel has been associated with a number of shootings.  Mark David Chapman carried his copy with him when he shot and killed John Lennon, writing in it "This is my statement" and signing Holden's name.  The book has also been linked to John Hinckley Jr.'s assassination attempt on Ronald Reagan in 1981, and Rebecca Schaeffer's murder by Robert John Bardo.  Peter Falconio was supposedly reading it prior to his disappearance..

Posthumous Prohibition

Intensely protective of his privacy and writing, it has been suggested that Salinger continued to exert control over his works after his death.  The 2013 biography 'Salinger' by Shields Salerno claims that he had not only continued writing during his years of seclusion, but also left detailed notes to his trust about releasing the material between 2015 and 2020.  However, as of January 2019, nothing new has come to light.
