Fatal Attraction : The True Story of Carolyn Warmus - E-book - ePub

Carolyn Warmus is the real life version of the Glenn Close character depicted in "Fatal Attraction" as she stalked and murdered the wife of a man whom she obsessed over. She was 25 years old at the time of the murder in 1989, and 28 when she was convicted in 1992 after two trials. Neighbors and acquaintances, from her time in Michigan and from her time in New York, described her as pleasant and sunny.
One was quoted as saying she was the kind of girl you could take home to Mom. People who knew her better said that her big grin hid an emotionally disturbed, needy, often depressed, and occasionally suicidal individual. In her 20's, blond, wide-eyed Carolyn had a sexy personality, a great figure, and dressed expensively and fashionably. She turned heads. Her employers described her as cheerful and very competent.
She had also begun obsessing over a string of older unavailable men and, by the time of the murder, had a long history of bizarre behavior-some of it criminal-in relation to these romantic entanglements.
