EVIL LUCY

Evil Lucy was born on April 18, 1982 in Santa Fe De Bogota, Colombia- South America, and soon relocated to the United States in 1984. She spent the majority of her life in Jackson Heights Queens, New York. She is a guitarist who has played for such bands as Vulgaras and Slaywhore *an all girl female Slayer cover band*. Aside being a guitarist, she is also a fire eater, stand up comedienne, and sword swallower and has traveled on both coasts wowing audiences with her death defying skills. In July of 2005 she starred in a 15 minute B-Movie called: “Satan and Baby’s Wild Bikini Beach Party” where she played the role of Satan in this fun spoof of 50’s Beach Movies with a Macabre twist filmed on location at Coney Island, Brooklyn New York.  

A dedicated Satanist, and all around nice girl, Evil Lucy left New York City for San Diego, California on Friday July 13, 2007, when she was asked to audition for Elvira’s Reality TV Show: “Search for the next Elvira”, she got to meet “The Mistress of the Dark” and made Elvira blush (that’s right blush!) when she swallowed a 10 inch curved Turkish Kukri blade on one of America’s most haunted places: “The Queen Mary”. Evil Lucy first started writing at age 14, when her English teacher encouraged her, since then her writing has been described as “a Diane Arbus painting come to life”  

Evil Lucy is now a writer for Serial Killer Magazine, and is currently writing a book on her life as a musician in the NYC Rock Scene, Sideshow performer and Satanist, but as with anything there’s a twist. Evil Lucy is dead, and the book will be about her life and the spectators that were rubbernecking to get a good view. From Mafia bosses to beautiful Burlesque performers, this book will have it all.  Stay tuned!

Reel to Real : By Evil Lucy 

The credo of “Sex Sells’ might soon be something of the past. 

As humans we do things to bring out our emotions, we watch movies, we read books and magazines, listen to music. As human animals we have ways of relieving boredom or feed a morbid appetite that we may have. Case in point. Hollywood “caters” to the dark desires of those of us who like things about Serial Killers, be it their charisma, their dark side, or their utter contempt for a society that would detain them. Serial Killers, Psychopaths, Mass Murderers, FBI profilers such as Robert Ressler who coined the term: “Serial Killer” and writes many books on the subject, and let’s not forget the books of atrocities that make the mind seethe.  

Did you know that there are more books written about Jack The Ripper than Abraham Lincoln? 

Movies about Serial Killers are as old as Westerns, and have as many followers, they’re just not your good ol’ boys who like to watch the Duke with beer and a bowl of pork rinds, the genre of murder films/horror has many fans, from an educated business person, to your kid who likes to draw inverted crosses while listening to Slayer. What this piece will concentrate on is the Serial Killer appeal that Hollywood uses. The epic book: “The Silence of the Lambs” was written by Thomas Harris, in which the protagonist, an educated doctor of Psychology, Dr. Hannibal Lector, is detained for hideous crimes reminiscent of Ed Gein. Lector is used to try and catch a killer named Buffalo Bill, who kills many young women to use their skin as a costume, in vain to make him a woman. Other movies that center on Ed Gein are: “The Texas Chainsaw Massacre” and “Psycho”, the plot of the “Texas Chainsaw Massacre” is that of a psychotic madman who kills people and stitches their skin into masks, In Alfred Hitchcock’s “Psycho”, it goes in another less gory yet psychologically more provocative way, the character, a wimpy little nerd who dotes on his Mother, would stalk women in the shower of the motel that he owned, while wearing his Mother’s clothes and kills his victims’ in the shower. Oh did I mention that Norman Bates (the star of Psycho) was doting on his Mom’s corpse which was in a rocking chair? I didn’t? Silly Me! 

Now while these books and later movies were incredible, it was not original. They are loosely based on Ed Gein of Plainfield, Wisconsin who horrified his little town. Ed Gein was a grave robber who came from an emotionally stunted background complete with abusive Father and overbearing Mother. Gein’s father was a vicious alcoholic and due to this found himself unemployed very often. Augusta Gein was a religious fanatic that acted as if her husband wasn’t there, and shielded Ed and his older brother, George, from the horrors of the world, and espoused that sex was an act for procreation, women (outside of Augusta Gein) were nothing but whores, sluts, and prostitutes who used their sex to ruin God’s Earth. The boys scolded if they made friends outside of the house. Following the death of their Father, the Gein boys took on jobs to help support their Mother and the farm. Ed Gein would constantly try to look up to his brother and adopt his work ethic, this went OK for Gein, but Ed found that it was easier to baby sit because he could easily get along with children rather than people his own age. Ed Gein’s brother, Henry, died of a heart attack and left Ed and his Mother to go on without him. Two years later, Augusta Gein died of a series of strokes, and left poor Ed alone in the World. Ed was shattered by the loss of his Mother, and through his madness created his own World where women would pay for being harlots, whores, and prostitutes.  

Ed Gein began his Macabre new twist on life when he started grave robbing and using the deceased skin of the dearly departed as trophies and clothing.

Gein adorned his home with skulls, innards, and shrunken heads. Gein’s fascination with World War 2 also helped him implement the use of human skin for lampshades. It is possible if not fact that Gein’s upbringing turned him into a confused man with many sexual hang ups and it is suggested that Gein suffered from guilt of being a man and wished to be a woman. Gender Confusion. He would often contemplate cutting off his penis, and would use the skins of the dead to make a female costume, complete with female scalp and vaginas. Gein was only convicted of two deaths, but suspected in many more.  

Ed Gein alone has inspired scores of movies, books, and music. Slayer’s song “Dead Skin Mask” is about Gein, and in the background you can hear: “Mr. Gein this isn’t funny anymore, I don’t want to play”. One movie that does not do any justice or has any real attachment to Ed Gein is “Ed Gein The Butcher of Plainfield”. Released in 2007 this movie used many historical inaccuracies in their attempt to portray a true story of Ed Gein. Using the scapegoat of: “Based On a True Story” this movie is nothing but     Hollywood Candy. The story is smack with inaccuracies and in some twisted way try to show that Ed Gein had human compassion. To be fair the movie did portray Ed Gein’s religious zealot of a Mother right down to the demure, conservative woman that Augusta was. But aside that. Nothing in this movie lends to the facts that have been written about since the late 1960’s. Along with the above mentioned movies, and books, Ed Gein was also used in Brett Easton Ellis’s story: “American Psycho”. The story is about a handsome young man who goes on murder sprees, reminiscent of Ed Gein. However to give Ed Gein full credit to this book and later movie would be totally unfair. Two other notorious Serial Killers are used in this book, and their names were Ted Bundy, and Jeffrey Dahmer.  

American Psycho is set in the 1980’s, and follows the life of Patrick Bateman, a young, rich white man who has it all. Patrick has a great life, lives in NYC in the height of the materialistic 80’s, quite the “lady killer”. He uses his good looks, intellect and guile to lure young women into a night that they will never forget. Bateman ritualistically cuts open his female victims, decapitating them, causing torture to barely living females and even attempts to eat his victims. We can see the similarities of Ted Bundy, because Pat Bateman was very good looking and charming. And the cannibalism is one of the things that Jeffrey Dahmer was infamous for.

Couples Who Kill : By Evil Lucy 

What is Love?

Is it what comes after lust, and sexual yearnings as baser animal instincts within us as human beings? or is it just a reaction to eating mass amounts of chocolate?. Love is an experience that few people will be fortunate enough to ever encounter on their own. Though, we see it all around us, be it in the innocence of a child loving his/her cherished puppy or favourite stuffed animal, to the young lovers', as the boy carefully carves his and his sweetheart's initials on a tree.

People have gone through extraordinary lengths to prove their love, from painting exquisite masterpieces, and sculpting equally impressive statues, going to lame chick flicks, feigning interest in a basketball game. How many times have you the reader (yes I'm talking to you!) done things that either bored you to tears, or hated just because you heard: "Honey, I was thinking..."

One of the stories of love gone terribly wrong, is the story of Fred and Rosemary West who would commit some of the most atrocious and vile acts of the 20th Century.  Fred West was born in 1941, 120 miles away from London, England. West was born with beautiful blue eyes, and locks of golden blond hair. Despite the harshness of World War 2, Fred West enjoyed a very loving childhood, he had 6 siblings, and had admired his Father as a role model, he was his Mother's son, and young Fred would be classified as a very typical "Momma's Boy". The beautiful Aryan looking child soon grew to inherit his Mother's unfortunate looks, a gaping mouth, with giant teeth with a gap right in the middle; his blond locks turned a scruffy mane of brownish black hair. West, was a not a good student, would act out, just as children will do, and was canned as was the punishment at the time, but Mommy Dearest was always to the rescue, her rude mannerisms and obvious lack of social grace would drive her to go down to Fred's School and scream at the teacher who would discipline her son. The love a Mother has for her children is understandable, but at some point in time, the umbilical cord must be cut, to nurture a sense of independence that children need, and to not be sheltered. Since Fred saw no point in becoming an educated member of society he promptly dropped out of School at the impressionable young age of 15, and became a Farm hand. But at the age of 16, young Fred cleaned himself up and made himself appealing to girls, with raging hormones he would go after girls with a voracious appetite, and aggression that was to prelude to his darker self. When Fred was 17 years old, he was in a terrible motorcycle accident that left him in a coma for a week, and resulted in getting a metal plate in his head; his leg was crushed from the force of the accident and healed so that one leg was longer than the other one. After his recovery Fred met a pretty young 16 year old girl named Catherine Bernadette Costello, who was nicknamed Rena.

Rena wasn’t exactly an English Rose, as she was also in trouble with the law, by the time she met West, she was an experienced thief so it seemed like an ideal match for these two misfits to find one another. The love affair was quick, and when Rena went to Scotland.

Not to be derailed, he quickly turned his attention to other young women, and stuck his hand up a young lady’s skirt at a Youth Center, her reaction to this? she knocked him through a window. At age 20, Fred West was a convicted child molester and petty thief, his Family wanted nothing to do with him. In 1962, Fred's parents caved and let him come back to live with them at. That summer, his girlfriend Rena Costello came back from Scotland looked Fred up immediately. The two had found one another yet again, as the saying goes: “As thick as Thieves”.  Aside having been an experienced thief, Rena also had a record for prostitution.  Rena had had an affair with an Asian Bus driver, and was soon pregnant. Her and Fred decided to get married, and quickly wrote a letter to Rena’s parents stating that their child had died during child birth, and quickly adopted a mixed raced baby, this was a ploy to appease Rena’s racist parents. The West’s had a child, and her name was Charmaine.  

Their off again, on again marriage was beginning to dwindle. At the time, Fred was am ice cream truck driver where he could feed his pedophilic lusts, by leering at young girls. Fred’s marital indiscretions were enough to fuel Rena’s consequent filing for divorce. Fred who was free to tomcat around was incredibly possessive of Rena and Charmaine. Problems seemed to shadow West, he was in yet another accident which caused the death of a young man, while Fred was not found guilty, he was deeply troubled, and decided to pick and leave with his family, and a friend that he and his wife had made named, Anna McFall moved to Gloucester. The sexual perversions that would befall Mrs. West seemed to intensify, and she would later tell Chief Constable Hazel of West’s’ insatiable need for oral sex, bondage, and kinky sex, also stating that her husband unfit to raise their children. Is it a coincidence that there were eight sexual assaults committed in the Gloucester area committed by a man of Fred's description? Very unlikely. Rena wanted to take her children back to Scotland, Fred refused, so she went back to Scotland alone, but became miserable, and came back home for her daughters’, she found West and their friend Mc Fall living together in a trailer. In early 1967, Anna McFall became pregnant with Fred's child. She was trying to get Fred to divorce Rena and marry her. Fred responded as he saw was a good solution by killing her and burying her near the trailer park sometime in July. Rena finally moved back in with West, and West would welcome her, by sending out into the streets, to turn tricks for some pocket change. On November 29, 1968, while he was working as a bakery delivery driver, he met a pretty girl who would grow to be his soul mate, her name was, Rose Letts.

Rosemary Letts was born in November 1953 in Devon, England. And had a considerably bad childhood. Both her parents suffered from severe mental instability and illness. Rose was not a promising student, and showed signs of sexual promiscuity at a very young age. Later on, she would meet Fred West. In 1970, she gave birth to a daughter, Heather. With three children to care for, a boyfriend in jail for his various criminal indiscretions. Rose's temper flared constantly. She resented having to take care of Rena's children and treated them badly. One day in the summer of 1971, Charmaine went missing and Rose told her sister Anna Marie that Rena had come to get her. It is speculated that Rose "simply lost her temper”, and the rest would be discovered before it was too late. Anna Mc Fall, Charmaine’s Mother, came looking for her daughter, she was met with Fred’s strong hands, which strangled and dismembered her. In June of 1972, Rose had another daughter by Fred. Fred and Rose having married in January of that year. Fred and Rose needed a big house for their increasing family, and soon found one. They would rent out the basement to lodgers to help pay rent, or Rose would use it to “entertain”, as she had placed ads under the name of “Mandy Mouse” in sex magazines, advertising her services.

In 1972, Caroline Owens would become a footnote in this saga, she was the Wests’ babysitter, and Fred and Rose would constantly try to seduce her into sexual acts, she found them to be grotesque, West flew into a rage saying that she was going to be raped and brutalized if she did not acquiesce to his lusts, terrified she agreed. Fred was again in legal troubles, when Caroline’s mother discovered her daughter’s horrific bruises. Fred was able to con the judges and was let off with a slap on the wrist and a fine. Hardly a derail to this beast, but simply an inconvenience. Another one of the Wests’ victim would be Lynda Gough, who was a seamstress, who carried on as a nanny to the Wests’ children, they carried a civil relationship at 25 Cromwell Street, but something went awry, and Lynda was killed and dismembered in the basement. A disgusting trend was beginning to formulate as the Wests’ bloodlust would escalate, any women lodger, or employee would be found dead or save their lives brutally raped. Fred continued to attract police attention with continuous thefts and selling stolen goods. Fred saw this as a necessity to keep up the brutal acts of sexual perversion that he and his wife indulged in.  Sometime later a university student Lucy Partington had gone home to spend Christmas with her family. On December 27, she went to visit her disabled friend and left to catch a bus shortly after 10 P.M. Unfortunately she met with Fred and Rose; she was then murdered, dismembered and buried in Fred's construction projects. Between April of 1974 and April of 1975, three young women -- Therese Siegenthaler, 21, Shirley Hubbard, 15, and Juanita Mott, 18, met the same fate as Lucy Partington. Their dismembered bodies were buried under the cellar floor of the West's house. After many years, and many victims later, On August 6, 1992, police arrived at 25 Cromwell Street with a search warrant to look for pornography and evidence of child abuse. They found mountains of pornography and arrested Rose for assisting in the rape of a minor. Fred was arrested for rape and sodomy of a minor. Things improved for the lengthy investigation after Fred confessed to killing his daughter and after human remains were found in the garden. How did it end? Certainly “Happily Ever After” as Fred hung himself in his cell. While Rosemary feigned ignorance and innocence. 25 Cromwell Street ceases to exist, but the ghosts still lurk in the annals of crime history.

Another tumultuous tale of young love gone horribly wrong is the story of the “Moors Murders” and the culprits, Ian Brady and Myra Hindley.

Ian Brady was born on January 2, 1938 in Gorbals, one of the grimiest and hardest places to grow up in Glasgow, Scotland. His Mother, Margaret (Peggy) Stewart was a waitress in a hotel and had young Ian out of wed lock which caused many problems for Brady, as he was stigmatized and called a bastard. Brady never knew his father, but his Mother told him that he was a journalist in Glasgow who unfortunately met his demise months before Brady was born. Peggy couldn’t afford a babysitter for her little one so she would leave him alone at home while she went to work. It is not known if this is one of the many aspects of Brady’s life that may have triggered his apathy, which could be the result of really no parental figures in his life, given the fact that when an infant is concerned, it must bond physically with it’s parents, but if it is to be speculated, then the following would also contribute to the educated assumption. Peggy found that it was too much to cope with raising young Ian on her own with no Father in the picture, so she placed an ad out in the local newspaper for a permanent care taker to take Ian into their home, and giving him the attention that she could not provide for her son. The advertisement was answered by the Sloane family, they already had 4 children and they seemed to be good people who could be trusted with the well being of the infant Brady. Brady was un-officially adopted by the Sloane’s when he was just 4 months old. Peggy was never out of Brady’s life, she would come around every Sunday and bring him presents and watch him grow, but she would never divulge the fact that she was his Mother, but was regarded as something of an Aunt figure. In time, Peggy would stop her visits when Ian turned 12 years old; she had re-married and moved to Manchester with her new husband, Patrick Brady.

The Sloanes’ did their best to bring up Ian in a loving household, but Ian was given to temper tantrums, anxiety, and was incredibly difficult. It seems that Ian had already developed a sense of intense apathy and anger, with the feeling of being somewhat of an outcast. Brady was a good student and his teachers saw the potential that he had. At the young age of eleven, Ian passed the entrance exams to Shawlands Academy, a school for students with above-average intelligence.  He never did realize his incredible aptitude due to his laziness and just refused outright to do anything. He started to act out, all of this contributed to Brady’s downfall. He started smoking, slacked off on his Schoolwork, and started to act out even more. Granted pre adolescents are given their moments, and other mitigating circumstances started Brady on this downward spiral. One of young Brady’s fascinations was with the Second World War, reading anything he could get his hands on, especially things on Nazis. It seems that Brady was drawn in by the mystique of the “romantic and ruthless” soldiers of Deutschland. Brady was so influenced by Nazis and The Third Reich that even in play war games he would insist on playing a German.

Raging hormones, being an outsider, all of these things raised what was lurking inside of Brady’s psyche. From ages 13-16, Brady was already charged with burglary, and housebreaking. It was at the end of 1954 that Ian decided to make a clean start of it all and moved to Moss Side. His tough Scottish accent was harsher than the delicate and polite sound of the Queen’s English, it was this simple part of linguistic difference that would label Ian different. Ian became more and more withdrawn, feeling he could never really connect with anyone on any sort of level. He re-treated into his books, reading the works of the Marquis De Sade, which included Sado Masochism, and blind ignorance of the well being of others, and the classic; Crime and Punishment by Dostoyevsky. Just after a year of trying to make a go of life again, he was in trouble with the Law yet again; Brady was caught stealing lead seals from his employers. And was sentenced to 2 years. Even being incarcerated Ian could have no stability in his life, first he was at Strangeways Prison in Manchester, where at the age of seventeen, he toughened up, then he was moved to Hatfield in Yorkshire where his time would be served with more leniency. When Ian was released in 1957, Ian’s family thought that he was more withdrawn and serious than he was ever before. Brady was unemployed for a long time after being released, and finally found a job as a book keeper, a little while later, she came in….

Born on July 23, 1942 in Gorton, Manchester, Myra was the first child of Nellie and Bob Hindley.  Her father served with no distinction in the parachute regime during the first 3 years of Myra’s life. Myra and her Mother moved in with Myra’s Grandmother, who would look after Myra while her Mother worked as a machinist. When Hindley’s father returned, he had a problem re-adjusting to life after the War; he would often be found working as a laborer at the local Pub. Soon after that, Maureen was born, and Myra was sent to live with her Grandmother. Myra was also a good student, but she would be absent for the simple fact that her Grandmother didn’t kick up a fuss if Myra said she wasn’t feeling all that well. Months grew to years, and soon Myra was in High School, earning fair grades and was very athletic, she loved to swim, and loved to be outside and be active, at this time her teachers’ noticed that she had a knack for creative writing. Myra Hindley was considered a respectable young lady, so parents would feel comfortable leaving their children with Hindley. When Hindley was 15 years old she befriended Michael Higgins, a shy young boy who Myra grew especially fond of so fond that she looked out after him as if he was her younger brother. Tragedy struck when Higgins drowned in a swimming pool, Myra took the news terribly and started showing classic signs of depression, faltering between one emotion to the other, she forever felt the guilt of not accompanying her companion, she knew in her heart of hearts that if she was there, she could’ve saved Michael’s life.
She would honor her deceased friend and converted to Catholicism, Michael’s religion, given her feelings of loneliness and blame, her school work started to suffer and she no longer could keep her O level (The English equivalent of Straight A’s). She left School, and worked at Lawrence Scott and Electrometers which was an electrical engineering firm, it seems to be at this time that Myra started coming out her shell and did what other normal Gorton girls did like go to dances and socialize with her peers. It is also noted that Hindley had started to change her appearance bleaching her mousey brown hair into a stark platinum blonde, wearing dark lipstick and dark clothing; she tried in vain to hide her young age. On her 17th Birthday, Myra became engaged to a local boy named Ronnie Sinclair. But soon Myra began to contemplate what would follow marriage, to her horror she knew she would have to change, and then there was buying a small house, and eventually a family. Myra simply would have nothing to do with anything that would cage her, and she broke off the engagement with Sinclair. She yearned for excitement; she felt she needed something drastic to happen, something to invade the ho-hum existence, to fill that void. 2 years later in 1961, she met Ian Brady for the first time. In Brady, Myra found someone she could connect with, they were both outcasts, and finally she felt that she belonged. People thought Brady was morose, sad, apathetic, and that there was no hope in him, Myra blinded by attraction (as most women become) saw him as introspective, aloof, and just quiet.

She found in Brady what she could not find in any other man; Brady remained totally uninterested in Myra for about a year. It would be at the Christmas party that Brady was tranquilized by the many libations being served where he really paid attention to Myra Hindley. He asked Myra on their first date, ever the romantic, Brady took Myra to see the Nuremburg Trials, as their loved blossomed he would play Hitler’s Marching Songs, and let Myra into his own World. Brady was an avid reader of German Philosopher Frederich Nietzche. In Nietzche Brady found his anti-God and anti moral convictions, when he would blaspheme to Myra saying that there was no God, and that there was no right and wrong. Myra was an eager student waiting to be filled to the brim with these teachings of her lover Demigod Brady; it was Brady who told Myra to stop attending Church. His Svengali like gaze and carnal knowledge would keep Myra spellbound. Meshing their love in an unholy union where murder was to be: “the supreme pleasure”

Myra’s family and friends saw what hold this Scottish Rasputin had over her, she abandoned her fun loving and caring personality and became harsh and surly. Ian had Myra on a leash, but she would have to be tested. Ian threw to Myra an idea, he wanted to rob a bank and he wanted Hindley to be his getaway driver. What did Myra do? Started taking driving lessons. That’s when Brady was sure, that she was his, body and soul.

Serial Killers And The Women Who Love Them : By Evil Lucy 

It's a woman's prerogative to change her mind, whether it's what movie she wants to see to the constant changing of her shoes before a big date.

But what could motivate her to marry a Serial Killer?

Is it fame without the bloodshed?, a Freudian act of the Electra complex in full swing against a paternal figure?, lashing out on society?, or is it "love at first sight"?,

Speculation is high, and the truth is always shrouded in mystery

"They love the celebrity status," Jack Levin, a criminologist who is director of the Brudnick Center on Violence at Northeastern University in Boston.

Could this be the Modus Operandi of these women that make a Casanova out of Ted Bundy, or a Death Row Romeo of Richard "The Nightstalker" Ramirez.

It was 1985 when Doreen Lioy, a freelance writer first laid her eyes upon her future hubby, Richard Ramirez as he was being taken away by a small army of the LAPD. According to various books most notably Philip Carlo's: "The Nighstalker", she was immediately captivated by Ramirez's good looks, and little boy charm, and wrote to the Newspapers condemning the vigilante acts of the people of Hubbard Street that helped the Police capture the dreaded: "Nightstalker". During Ramirez's lengthy trials, Doreen would write him letters, and visit him, put money in his commissary account, as well as call the prison so Ramirez could listen to some Heavy Metal over the phone whilst talking to Doreen. All very wonderful gestures in deed, but Doreen would not be the only woman to be visiting Ramirez, there would be more.

The exact number is not exactly known, but it was high enough to warrant a story from one of the most popular shows at the Time, A Current Affair did a segment about, Richard Ramirez calling him: "The Death Row Romeo". But what really was it? His dangerous Latin looks, his piercing dark eyes?, his disdain for Christianity and the moral Dogmas and hypocrisies of modern society?, or was it because Doreen was lonely, and a misfit in her own right?. Doreen Lioy, never drank, or smoked, cursed, and was a college educated Virgin, Could it be that the exact opposites attract?. Whatever it was, after an 8 year engagement, October 3, 1996, Doreen would become Mrs. Richard Ramirez.

Many women like Doreen Ramirez will ignore mountains of evidence against their loves, and be in a state of denial, when confronted with the overwhelming facts. Another interesting subject would have to be Ted Bundy. Bundy who was charming, handsome, college educated and articulate was quite the if you'll pardon the pun, "Lady Killer". Bundy did not play the bad boy role of his earlier and latter compatriots, but was a seemingly harmless young man in a cast who would befriend women and then commit heinous murderous sexual acts. Bundy was later convicted and sentenced to Death, but had managed to escape, in a book written by Ann Rule, "The Stranger Beside Me", it says that Bundy had received a fair share of letters from adoring female fans, and while they were romantically attached to Bundy, they were also terrified at the same time. Strangely enough, one of the women who looked like Bundy's victims (brunettes with long hair parted down the middle) Carol Ann Boone, became one of Bundy's staunchest supporters' and even left her home in Washington to move to Florida to be closer to Bundy. During the penalty phase of the trial in 1980, a surprise was to happen. When Bundy asked Boone to become his wife, there was an old state law that a marriage proposal done in Court would constitute a legal union, Boone was ecstatic and said "Yes", and she became Mrs. Bundy. Boone was also, deaf, blind and dumb as the State would present evidence of Bundy's teeth marks on victims. She was in love, and a woman in love cannot be persuaded otherwise.

While there is no definitive answer to the question at hand, there are guesses, and your guess is as good as mine as to why, and how?
