Tracey Wigginton grew up maladjusted and abused by her wealthy grandparents who subjected her to all kinds of torture. Supposedly, even ritual satanic abuse. Tracey wanted to be something more and began drinking the blood of animals, claiming she needed it because she was a vampire.
She got other women to join her and they loosely formed a cult based on Tracey's belief that she was a vampire. Animal blood wasn't enough for Tracey and she said she needed to kill a man and consume his blood to live.
On October 20, 1989, she got her female friends to lure a drunk Edward Baldock into their car. They drove him down by the river and made it seem like they were going to get frisky, and then Tracey stabbed him to death.
Did she drink his blood? It's unknown, though her friends claimed they could smell it on her breath. On this episode, Cruel Tea breaks down this disturbing and tragic case.
