I can't say the response to Bundy shocked me. I haven't seen this show on netflix called "You" but apparently it's about a murderer and women are doing shit like saying they wanna be with him. Weird.
apparently its a prettty common thing for serial killers to get married in prison. The most surprising ones were the ones that married their lawers or legal defenders. Like Susan Atkins who married one of her lawers who was a Harvard law graduate.
"Susan Atkins is another infamous member of the Manson Family. She was convicted for eight of the nine "Helter Skelter" murders committed by the group. Atkins would go on to marry twice while imprisoned. First, she married Donald Lee Laisure in 1981 - after Laisure had previously been married 35 times. Atkins had the marriage annulled after learning Laisure planned to marry yet another woman.
Then, in 1987, Atkins married James Whitehouse, a man 15 years her junior. He was a Harvard Law graduate - who actually represented Atkins during parole hearings. Their marriage continued until her passing in 2009."
