No One Wants the ‘Vampire Rapist’

Prison officials are scrambling to find a home for the “Vampire Rapist,” who served 10 years for raping a hitchhiker and drinking her blood. John Crutchley will be free to leave prison but no one wants him. West Virginia, where his mother lives, has told Florida to keep him away. Crutchley, 49, was charged with kidnapping and raping a 19-year-old California woman he picked up hitchhiking in 1985. She said he subdued her, then drained and drank nearly half her blood using surgical equipment over an 18-hour period. She escaped through a bathroom window when he briefly left her alone.
