Bound to Kill

The Untold Story of Delia Day (Introduction)

Susan Anton, 1999

Bound to Kill is about an almost 20-year-old story that has never been told; even the people who remember Delia Day still don’t know what happened. For the people who don't remember or never even knew she existed…

In short: Delia Day was a self-portrait artist and body modification celebrity, an influencer even before the term existed, and possibly the first lifestyle bdsm camgirl, also before the term existed. She is perhaps most remembered for her website, My Illustrated Life as a Sex Slave. She was arrested for killing the man she called her Owner in December of 2003. She was never indicted and we’ve not heard much from her since.

The real story is about the relationship between Travis Anton and his wife Susan, aka “Delia Day”. They were both artists who ran a software company before launching a porn website. Travis and Susan were married for 10 years and had two children before Susan shot and killed him with a Mossberg 12 gauge.

Over the last five years I have interviewed a lot of people, including Susan. I was able to obtain the police report which describes the circumstances leading up to the shooting as “peculiar and excessive”.
