Simpson were all post-murder objects of female attraction.  Scott Peterson killed his wife Laci and unborn son Conner and then disposed of their bodies while actively courting Amber Frey.  Then, during Peterson's trial and subsequent imprisonment, he garnered a sizable female following and received a few marriage proposals.
