Tracey Avril Wigginton (born August 4, 1965), known as the "Lesbian Vampire Killer", is an Australian murderer who achieved notoriety for killing Edward Baldock in 1989, supposedly to drink his blood. This was described as "one of the most brutal and bizarre crimes Australia has ever seen." Wigginton was sentenced to life imprisonment in 1991, and was paroled in 2012. Early life Wigginton grew up in the northern Australian coastal city of Rockhampton. She was adopted at the age of three by her wealthy maternal grandparents, George and Avril Wigginton, after her mother could no longer care for her following a divorce. Wigginton claims that her grandparents were controlling, and had physically and sexually abused her. In 1981, Wigginton's grandparents died and left 15 year-old Wigginton $75,000 ($310,640 in 2022 dollars). Wigginton briefly moved back in with her mother, who was not accepting of her lesbianism, and then moved in with a family friend who described her as "a loving girl, gifted artist and devout Catholic." Following a miscarriage, Wigginton stopped attending Mass, and started communicating with a white witch in Adelaide. Following a move to Brisbane, Wigginton began to immerse herself in the occult: keeping black magic items on her person, and using blood from animals to draw occult symbols. Murder Wigginton, who allegedly killed and drank the blood of animals, had been planning for some time to escalate to murdering a man so that she could "feed" on him. On the night of the murder, Wigginton (then aged 24), Lisa Ptaschinski (aged 24), Kim Jervis (aged 23) and Tracy Waugh (aged 23) had been out drinking and then drove around in Wigginton's Holden Commodore in search of a victim. At the time, Wigginton stood 183cm (6 feet) tall and weighed 95kg (209 pounds).https://www.tumblr.com/donthurtthepeachrings/183048222667/tracey-wigginton-the-lesbian-vampire-killer-at Edward Baldock (47), a council worker and father of four, was waiting for a taxi after drinking heavily and playing darts with friends. Jervis persuaded him into their car and they drove him to a park on the banks of the Brisbane River. It is disputed whether Wigginton got Baldock in the car by offering him a lift or by pretending to be a sex worker. There, he undressed while Wigginton returned to the car to retrieve a knife. She then stabbed him 27 times, nearly severing his head before drinking his blood. When police arrived at the scene, they located Wigginton's bank card in
