one of Baldock's shoes among his neatly folded pile of clothes. The four women were then quickly arrested. A few days after the murder, Wigginton told police that she ‘felt nothing’ while stabbing Baldock and that she sat down to smoke a cigarette while she watched him die. Trial Wigginton was the only one of the four co-accused who pleaded guilty to the charge of murder. Therefore, there was no trial for her and few details were disclosed to the court as to why this incident occurred by Wigginton; Ptaschinski, Jervis, and Waugh stated that Wigginton had claimed to have vampiric tendencies. They said that the reason for the murder was to enable the drinking of the man's blood. During the trial, Wigginton said to the media "‘It’s hard to be famous, isn’t it? A legend in my own mind’." In 1991, a jury convicted Wigginton of murder and she was sentenced to life imprisonment by the Supreme Court of Queensland with a minimum of 13 years. Ptaschinski was also convicted of murder, and Jervis of manslaughter. Waugh was acquitted. Aftermath In 2006, Wigginton assaulted a fellow inmate and a prison guard. The case still commands strong media interest and public reaction. In April 2008, it was reported that Wigginton was being released. However, it was actually Ptaschinski who was being released under the resettlement leave program, given a maximum of 12 hours leave every two months for six months. Wigginton made four unsuccessful parole applications until 2011 when the parole board granted her application. Wigginton was released from prison on 11 January 2012 despite lying to the parole board. In 2021, interest in Wigginton was revived when it was revealed that she was posting images on Facebook of vampires, witches, and a pile of skull and bones. Following this, the officers who investigated the case said that Wigginton's parole should be revoked.
