Although Jim's assessment of all this is rather mundane, your take is more..... romantic, as far as killers go. Ever read 'Then It All Came Down", Truman Capote's interview with Bobby Beausoleil in San Quentin, 1973? After telling Bobby that he knew Sirhan, Oswald, RFK & JFK, as well as knowing four out of the five Cielo Drive victims, Bobby Beausoleil responded, "You know what I'd say? I'd say you're not such a lucky guy to know".
Interesting! I have to read that interview now that you mention it. I have a great deal of respect for Truman Capote. If he said he knew all those people, I believe it. The interview is at the following link, in case anyone else is interested in reading it.

If you read the biography Capote, by Gerald Clarke, you'll find people who knew Capote testifying to his penchant for claiming famous persons as his lovers, including...Albert Camus. Possessing fame, Truman was still fame-hungry, an unreliable narrator.
