Okay, someone's got mental health issues. And for once I'm not talking about manson himself.

She moved close to him when she was seventeen and has been visiting him ever since.
I mean, why would you even want to see him in the first place? Just WTF? Seriously WTF!!!???

It's only anecdotal, but I know any number of women who seem fascinated by murderers and serial killers on TV and IRL. Ranging from Dexter to Fred West via those actual CSI documentaries. I wonder if cases like this are the logical extreme of that.

I'm sure there was a discussion about this on QI a few series back. In short, there's a psychological condition whereby the person finds themselves attracted to people who are dangerous. I seem to recall it's overwhelmingly a female thing (ie very few men suffer from it).

I remember it, Hybristophilia or Bonnie & Clyde syndrome I think it's called.
