Tracey Avril Wigginton (born 4 August 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.
[1] 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.
[citation needed] Edward Baldock (47), a council worker and father of four, was waiting for a taxi after drinking heavily and playing darts with friends.
[5] When police arrived at the scene, they located Wigginton's bank card in one of Baldock's shoes among his neatly folded pile of clothes.
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.
"[1] 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.
[13] 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.
