Welcome!

Gretchen Lowell, AKA The Beauty Killer, is the best serial killer in the whole world. Why? Because she’s so pretty. And she really cares about what she does. A lot of murderers today just shoot people in the head, but Gretchen takes the time to make her murders special. Did you know she’s killed more people than any other serial killer in America? It’s true!

Biography

No one knows where Gretchen was born. She claims to be 34, but we think she looks much younger. She first came to national attention in the early nineties, when Det. Archie Sheridan of the Portland Police Department connected several unexplained murders and the hunt for the so-called “Beauty Killer” began.

She has alternately claimed to been a psychiatrist and an ER nurse. Neither claim has ever been corroborated, though she certainly seems to have had some medical training.

Gemini (from astrology.com)
May 21 - June 21

Gemini is the third Sign of the Zodiac, and those born under this Sign will be quick to tell you all about it. That’s because they love to talk! It’s not just idle chatter with these folks, either. The driving force behind a Gemini’s conversation is their mind. The Gemini-born are intellectually inclined, forever probing people and places in search of information. The more information a Gemini collects, the better. Sharing that information later on with those they love is also a lot of fun, for Geminis are supremely interested in developing their relationships. Dalliances with these folks are always enjoyable, since Geminis are bright, quick-witted and the proverbial life of the party. Even though their intellectual minds can rationalize forever and a day, Geminis also have a surplus of imagination waiting to be tapped. Can a Gemini be boring? Never!
