Help! I'm being attacked by a psychic vampire!

This is true crime writer Sondra London, dubbed Queen of the Serial Killer Groupies after highly publicized "romances" with GJ Schaefer (pictured above) and Gainesville Ripper, Danny Rolling in the late 1980s.

Errol Morris interviewed her for an installment of his First Person series titled (what else!) The Killer Inside Me, and it is, to use the vernacular, a DOOZIE! Throughout the interview, London fluctuates between quiet repulsion at the crimes of her incarcerated paramours and eerie, girlish rhapsodizing about her love for "bad boys", as though savage rapists and murderers were on a par with the likes of Mickey Rourke and Heathcliff (the brooding dickweed from Wuthering Heights, not the cartoon cat. Come to think of it, Heathcliff the cartoon cat could be pretty fucking menacing at times. I wouldn't put it past him to take a life or two and maybe even cannibalize his victims. Seriously).

I spent the whole morning trying to find some decent footage from the Morris interview, but all I could find was a measly scrap wherein Sondra offers this tenuous explanation for her lot in life: "I never wanted to be a repeatable person!"



However, I did find a wealth of interviews conducted on afternoon talk shows and tabloid-y old news programs like A Current Affair. They're not as artful or tastefully shot as The Killer Inside Me (I expected more from you, Leeza Gibbons!) but still worth a look.

Here's Sondra during an appearance on Leeza. Based on the grooming habits of this highly telegenic audience, I'd guess this was filmed in 1995 or so. Keep your eyes peeled for the wacky snap shot of Sondra play-strangling GJ Schaefer (LOL! It's funny because that was his preferred method of killing women!)



She totally looks like a Judd with her hair like that. A Judd possessed by a demon. A demon that shills crystals at Rock & Gem shows.

And here she is on another talk show I'm not able to identify. Does this "spacious cabin in the woods" set look familiar to anyone?



Whoever posted this video omitted all of the host's dialogue so it sounds like Sondra's just tangentially monologuing for 7 minutes. It's pretty great.

By now, I'm sure all y'alls interest has been piqued re: this lady. Possibly you are wondering "Where did Sondra get that amazing Crime Does Not Pay!!! sweater?" I can't answer that. Possibly you are also wondering "Does she have a somewhat unnavigable and aesthetically dubious web site?" YES! Yes she does! Here is her home page. Try not to get too soooothed by the nature sounds, harp music, butterflies and hummingbirds. At first glance, it appears that this is the whole of her site. But if you scroll to the very bottom of the page, you will find links to the meat of this thing: Several Selves and Cyber Detox. Start with Still Wierd [sic] and work your way through. And god help you if you get stoned before this journey. You risk turning your life inside out through your butt.
