Convicted child killer Terri-Lynne McClintic painted a grim portrait of her own childhood years while testifying against Michael Rafferty, her ex-lover and partner in the murder of Victoria Elizabeth Stafford.
McClintic told the packed court that her birth mother was a stripper who gave her away to another woman -- also a stripper -- to be raised. She claimed that she suffered a separated shoulder resulting from abuse when she was just a baby. At the tender age of eight, Terri-Lynne began experimenting with a variety of drugs; ironically, the same age that Tori Stafford was when she was brutally murdered by McClintic and Rafferty.
McClintic amassed a lengthy criminal record, with numerous assault and robbery convictions. She admitted that she had been using and dealing drugs -- OxyContin, mostly -- at the time Stafford was killed.
If all of this is true, it stands in stark contrast with the background story presented by perhaps the most notorious woman in serial killer history: Karla Homolka. McClintic has often been compared to Homolka with respect to the fact that she has admitted to luring an underage victim on behalf of her paedophile lover, but in this author's estimation, the similarities end there.
The only real darkness radiating from the Homolka household emanated from Karla herself. She was raised in a stable, supportive family, and rose to considerable popularity among her contemporaries. The eldest of three beautiful, blonde daughters, Karla was smart as a whip and an excellent student. She could have aspired to anything she desired; she desired Paul Kenneth Bernardo.
In the case of Terri-Lynne McClintic: born of a stripper, raised by a stripper, and lost to drug addiction before she had even reached puberty. By no means am I suggesting that her back story excuses what she did to little Tori Stafford, but I feel that it at least offers some explanation as to why.
After the murder, McClintic's opinion of herself was so low that she actually offered to take 100% of the blame for the horrific things that she and Rafferty had done together:
"I told him that I would take the fall for everything, that I would say it is all me, that he had more to lose than I did, because I was just an 18-year-old junkie anyways."

You know of all these horrendous acts on Satan herself then why didn’t you do something about it, being abused DOESNT MAKE YOU AN ABUSER FKN LAME ASS EXCUSE FOR ABUSERS TO FEEL JUSTIFIED IN WHAT THEY DID FAAAAAWK OFF YA NUT
ReplyDeleteWe didnt even know she was born.
ReplyDeleteIt's sad what she went through yes but it didn't give the right to help a lil girl be raped and killed. She no better then the ppl that raised her. Yes I'm sorry he had a terrible life but no excuse to harm a child
ReplyDeleteShe not he
ReplyDeleteNo child should EVER have to go through what Victoria went through. I would have killed them both if it was my child, I swear to God. I don’t care what she went through, she is evil and should never walk free again. And Rafferty never should NOT have been protected by that judge, he is a pedophile and will do this again and again. I hope both rot in hell.
ReplyDeleteYou'd think with her past she would be able to empathize and potentially save that little girl. She said herself, she couldnt being herself to watch what was happening so she walked away?!
DeleteShe had opportunity to at least save the childs life and chose not to. What a coward, we dont need ppl like that. It's disgusting and I hope Terri-lynne never sees freedom again. And if she does, I hope she's plagued with the horrendous memories of her crimes and God forbid she ever get pregnant herself. She does not deserve freedom, she deserves to be tested on in a facility. Why test on animals when we got pedophiles and people like Terri-Lynne in prison. She'd be doing more for her community giving her life to science research than walking free. She already destroyed an entire community with her crimes. She shouldn't be allowed to walk the same streets as us. As a Canadian, who lives close to Woodstock, I'd definitely harass this woman on the daily. I, now does anyone else, deserve to live in fear of such a monster.
Bring* and "I, nor* does anyone else, deserve to live in fear of such a monster" Terri-Lynne should be on death row. I cant believe my tax dollars are paying for her meals in prison.
