Elaine Burton might be the weirdest person on that list. Who works for 10 years, from 16 years old, to get a serial killer set free, and then marries them? The killers are fucked up, but they have some twisted logic to them, either they hate women, want to be famous, enjoys the power over people, or some other terrible thing, however, her I just don't get at all. What does she get from that? I just want to point out, I'm not saying worst, the killers are definitely worse people, just weirdest.

YES. You've just summed up perfectly what I was sitting here for the last 10 minutes feebly trying to articulate about Karla Homolka. The best I can come up with is a kind of narcissism-by-proxy, or borrowed power. Imagining how hollow you'd have to be inside to feel fulfilled by these dead-eyed psychopaths is giving me vertigo.
