Details
From reading the information given to me on two websites (Links are below), I have learnt a lot about the background as well as extra details about the case. I will go through the case below. The case begins at a nightclub, as Tracey and her friends partied through the night. Everything went smoothly until Tracey alerted her friends that she needed the blood of another man to keep her "Vampire needs" sustained. They leave the nightclub and get into a car in search of a man, they do eventually find a man. Edward Baldock, Tracey's eventual victim and source of blood for the evening. She asked him if he needed a ride, and he obliged as she took him to the pack, where she would take a knife from her pocket and kill him. His clothes were found neatly folded as well as a sock with a credit card inside, this card belonged to Tracey and eventually lead to her arrest alongside her friends.
A large group of events lead up to this however, primarily in her early years. Examples of these events include:
- Her Grandmother emotionally abused her.
- Was physically abused.
- Had a miscarriage
- Hospitalization 80 times due to drug abuse as well as self harm
- Had an affair with another woman
I believe these events and more are what lead up to Tracey committing the crime she did that day, as her early life was filled with abuse and suffering from Tracey and to Tracey. As mentioned previously, Tracey was found out to be the "Lesbian Vampire killer" due to evidence found at the crime scene, primarily her credit card stuffed into a sock. This card was used to find Tracey and her accomplices.
In an interrogation Tracey described herself before the crime was committed as "Murderous" and that she would have killed her girlfriend if she did not leave the house. It is possible that her vampire necessities caused her drive to kill but it is not 100% certain on what her true motives were. The crime is still remembered today due to its bizarre nature as well as its dark background. Tracey had hurt people before hand due to her affairs with other people and other pieces of dark history.
