Murder suspect Joran van der Sloot says women are begging to bed him. He bragged to reporters this week about receiving love letters and marriage proposals since confessing to the murder of Stephany Flores, whose battered corpse was found in the young Dutchman's Lima hotel room on June 2.

What drives women to cruise Web sites such as PrisonPenPals.com, WriteaPrisoner.com, ConvictMailbag.com, and Meet-an-Inmate.com, where prisoners (granted, only some are killers) post pictures and pleas?

"Night Stalker" Richard Ramirez, who killed 13 in a 1985 reign of terror that included rape, torture and the gouging out of eyes, still receives bags full of mail 21 years after entering San Quentin's death row — and 13 years after marrying someone who wrote him 75 letters. A friend of mine who works with the prison system says she watched Ramirez being "mobbed" with applications from women wanting to visit him. Wife-killer Scott Peterson got a marriage proposal during his first hour on death row.

Some women surprise themselves by genuinely bonding with men who happen to be convicted killers. That's what happened to Publishers Weekly editor Bridget Kinsella, who fell in love with an inmate after reading his unpublished memoir. Her memoir is the poignant Visiting Life (Harmony, 2007).

Yet others aim to change and save the killers they embrace — a fruitless mission, psychologist Aamodt warns. "They feel like redeeming angels," says my friend who works with the prison system.

Montgomery pursued Merriman while he was in prison for violent crimes. Unlike Carole Boone, who married Ted Bundy and conceived his baby after he was convicted for serial murder because she believed he was innocent, Montgomery knew Merriman was dangerous. That's what got her hot.

My friend who works with the prison system knew a female attorney "who was barred from San Quentin because she developed an intimate relationship with one of her incarcerated clients." The pair made sexual contact through a mail slot, my friend says. "They were observed by guards, she was sent home, and the warden denied her future access."

Ever since being sentenced to death in 2000 for slashing a 13-year-old girl's throat, Tommy Lynn Sells "has received tons of letters from women who want to proclaim their love for him, talk sexy with him or have phone sex," says Diane Fanning, who got to know Sells while researching her book about him, Through the Window (St. Martin's, 2007). "It baffles me a little, because he's not your typical good-looking killer. He's just your good-old-boy rednecky type" — who claims to have slain dozens of men, women and children since he was 16.

Sells showed Fanning the letters.

"They were all 'your body' this and 'your body' that and 'I want to do this to you' and 'I want you to do that' — your typical soft porn. But you could see that each of these women thought she was his one and only."

"It's hard to tell where the truth ends with these psychopaths. They're such liars and manipulators."

Most of those women probably been abused in the past so they fee lonely and desperate

Keep in mind that this article in no way, shape, or form proves that ALL women love evil guys.
There are some women, as was mentioned in the article, that believe they can change these killers and other inmates. (Like the "I can be the one to change this bad-boy player" to a whole other extreme obviously).
That's really just aggravating to read this and to see stories like this on television. I really, REALLY don't get these women.
