makes me skeptical. I'm reminded of Henry Lee Lucas, who claimed he'd killed over 200 people, but law enforcement generally credits him with 15 (that includes the Texas Rangers), though some cops think he might have killed as many as 40.

In any event, until bodies start turning up, or unless she can provide crucial details in unsolved homicides/missing persons cases, I'm thinking it's BS. Not to say it's impossible.....of course it's not. There have been serial killers who remained at large, racking up a considerable body count, for a long time. Andrei Chikatilo, the "Beast of Rostov", springs to mind and of course The Zodiac Killer, or the Mad Butcher of Kingsbury Run (the Cleveland Torso Murderer) were never apprehended. Not to mention whoever did in Elizabeth Short (the Black Dahlia), though that might have been a one-off, despite bearing the hallmarks of the handiwork of a serial killer.

But for the time being, I reserve the right to remain skeptical.
