Serial Killers and the Women Who Love Them

Oy. Mein. Gott. Enough with Mel Gibson already. The story in today's L.A. Times about convicted murderer Wayne Adam Ford and the actress, former spokesmodel for breast enhancement supplements and Sharon Stone lookalike who is driving the folks at the San Bernadino County Sheriff's Department crazy is crazy by even Hollywood standards! This is something straight out of  a John Waters movie - starring Sharon Stone maybe? Can the deal already be in the works? Could Marc Shaiman and Scott Whitman already be penning the Broadway musical? Let's hope so!

You HAVE to read this story!! Tidbits below.

(Victoria) Redstall, a British-born actress from Studio City, admits to a lifelong fixation on serial killers and said meeting Ford in April — to interview him for a documentary — was "the dream of a lifetime.

She expected to be fascinated, she said, but not drawn into a deep bond with Ford that has caused a disruption in court and triggered an investigation by the Sheriff's Department.

"I trust Wayne with my life…. He's got such a kindness to him and such a conscience," she said, her eyes briefly filling with tears during an interview at a cafe in Studio City last week. "He is so tuned in to me and I to him that sometimes words don't have to be said."

Ford, a former long-haul truck driver, is on trial in San Bernardino County for crimes that would send most women running in the opposite direction. In 1997 and 1998, Ford murdered three prostitutes and a hitchhiker, dismembering two and dumping all four bodies in California waterways, before surrendering voluntarily with his final victim's breast in a Ziplock bag in his jacket pocket.

.....Redstall says she has already lost friends over her bond with Ford, which she insists is deeply "emotional" but not romantic.

"Everyone tells me, 'Be careful, he's a serial killer' … but they don't know Wayne like I do," she said. "We've all got evil in us — all of us. He took it to the extent of killing humans…. But I'm going on the man he is today and the remorse that he has today."

The irony of a model for breast enhancement pills, Herbal Grobust, seeking out a killer with a breast fetish is not lost on her, and she addresses it with the dark humor that both shocks and entertains the people she talks to in the courtroom.

"It's hysterical," she said.

After closing arguments last week in Ford's sentencing hearing, Redstall drove alongside the bus returning Ford to the jail in her red convertible so he could see her blond hair blowing and her jewelry glimmering in the sunlight, she said.

She says she feels bad about the scandal she's caused at the jail but that she's no stranger to causing disruptions.

In 2004, her former homeowners association sued her in Los Angeles County for attracting news helicopters — another one of her obsessions — that would hover over the condo building and shine their spotlights down as she was on the balcony in her nightclothes, she said.

Redstall said she later starred in an independent film loosely based on her copter attraction — "Hover me: The Making of Helicopter Girl."
