"I stabbed an innocent woman to death earlier today . . . It was absolutely fantastic. Murder gives me a high unlike any other. It feels like this crisp unreality, flashing and sparkling, adrenaline and shock."

While these lines might sound like the demented writings of John Wayne Gacy or perhaps Charles Manson, they actually appeared in what police said was a diary kept by a teenage girl named Pearl Moen.

She was mistaken about one thing, though - the women she stabbed did not die.

"I was born with the devil in me. I could not help the fact that I was a murderer, no more than the poet can help the inspiration to sing — I was born with the 'Evil One' standing as my sponsor beside the bed where I was ushered into the world, and he has been with me since."

– H. H. Holmes

Some people just need killin'

Pearl Moen...

...from the liberal cesspool of The Peoples' Republik of Austin, Texas.

Anyone want to put odds on how her parents voted in the Presidential election?

From what I’ve read about male serial killers, most are sexually aroused by killing, torture or dead bodies. I think she’s similar.

Many are aroused by the sensation of power, having complete power over the victim. The climax is the exercise of that power, in the most final way.

Beyond redemption.

Kill it now before a future review board releases it for 'good behavior.'
