A 24-Year-Old Woman Allegedly Tried and Failed to Become a Serial Killer: The Seattle Times has the scoop. "A 24-year-old Edmonds woman allegedly told police she planned to kill a man she met online, eat his heart and leave a note on his body so police would know she intended to kill again, according to court documents in the bizarre case," Times reporter Sara Jean Green writes.

Here's How the First Attempt Went:

"The man and Brown were lying on the bed talking and Brown asked several times if he was a serial killer, and he told her he wasn’t, the statement says. He told police Brown then climbed on top of him, stated, 'Well, I am a serial killer!' and stabbed him with a pocket knife, it says."
