Lynette "Squeaky" Fromme, a familiar figure in Los Angeles before she tried to shoot President Gerald Ford in 1974, is in love with a serial killer who poisoned four patients while a nurse in Massachusetts, Page Six of the New York Post gossips. Fromme was a follower of Charles Manson who became the public face (and bald head) of the Manson family during and after the trials that sent their crazed-out leader to prison for the murder of actress Sharon Tate and a bunch of others. Scary thought: Squeaky is due to get out of prison in 2005.
