     No one could dissuade Celeste Munchausen
from believing that she was cupid. By the time
she was captured in Central Park she had shot 32
people, killing 21 and wounding 11. Always bubbly
and sweet she was welcomed by the inmates of Rikers
Island Correctional Facility until she fashioned a bow
out of bed springs.

     Michael Schaler would not be separated
from his beloved “cut cut”. He said it was his only
true friend. He often spoke to it and often giggled
at what it seemed to whisper to him.It was around the
time that this photograph was taken that the situation
seemed to darken.
      Michael was often found brooding unhappily in his
bedroom.Eventually a doctor was consulted but all
Michael would reveal was that sometimes “cut cut”
got hungry and was “mean”. No one at the time
knew how serious this problem would eventually
become.
