She gets lots of mail. Jim Styers writes her love letters from death row and Mark Milke, of all people, has dropped her a line or two. But her most ardent male admirer these days is a Phoenix man who recently bought her a small television set and other gifts.

"I fell in love with her when I saw her in court," the admirer says. "I'm looking forward to a future with her. She's real deep. No one really understands her."

Now and then, Debbie Milke says she fantasizes about having another child.
"There are days when I'd say no way," she says. "But there are times when I think if I was guaranteed to have a girl, I'd do it. I don't know what it's like to raise a girl. With a son, it's different."

"As they were driving off, he screamed out, `I wuv you.' That's the last I saw of him."

"I walked up real close to her and I looked into her eyes and it hit me. I was looking at consummate evil. Her eyes were dead."

"If you'd told me that Debbie would murder her own kid like this, I'd tell you you were nuts."

"She had very good motherly qualities with him. I liked that quality in her."

"I fell in love with her when I saw her in court," an admirer says. "I'm looking forward to a future with her.
