Twenty-four-year old Amy Brown knew what she wanted to be when she grew up: a serial killer. After her arrest for attempted first-degree murder, she told police that she had planned to kill a man she met online, eat his heart, and leave a note on his body in case anyone wondered where his missing body part went. She also said she had fantasized about murder since middle school.
