"...A few weeks later, in September 1985, Schaefer was accused of plotting to escape from Avon Park and murder a “hit list” of victims including his ex-wife, Elton Schwarz, Robert Stone and Judge Trowbridge. State police “confirmed” the plot, and Schaefer was packed off to maximum security at Starke, home of Florida’s death row.

"...Despite being closely watched, Schaefer still managed to run a mail-fraud operation from his cell, collaborating with cohorts outside to post ads in sex magazines, soliciting money from various kinky “tricks.” To that end, Schaefer adopted various pseudonyms, always female. He became “Mistress Felice,” a dominatrix; prostitute “Jessica Zurriaga”; stern “Matron Miller”; a husband-killer on death row; and so on. Some of his “slaves” paid cash for the privilege of washing “Mistress Felice’s” soiled panties (delivered by mail, for a price). Schaefer also enjoyed writing to inmates of other prisons, posing as the great love of their lives, laughing behind their backs.

"...When not scamming “freaks,” Schaefer worked as a jailhouse lawyer--with a twist. While writing briefs for fellow cons, he milked his “clients” for information on their cases, then sold them out to authorities. One such inmate, awaiting trial for murder, told Schaefer where his victim’s body could be found and Schaefer relayed the directions to police, landing his client on death row. It was a deadly game, perhaps an extension of his childhood death wish, and he played it recklessly, as if he were invulnerable.

"...In 1986, collaborating with police from North Miami, Schaefer adopted the guise of “Dee Dee Kelly,” a 14-year-old prostitute who offered nude photos to pedophiles. Responses to his ads were collected by U.S. Postal inspectors, but none of Schaefer’s correspondents were prosecuted. Instead, authorities discovered he was working with another inmate, Mervyn Cross, to run a child pornography network from prison. Cross paid Schaefer’s father a monthly stipend for use of his telephone line, to communicate with Filipino colleagues. Prosecutors convicted Cross, adding time to his sentence at Starke, but no charges were filed against the Schaefers....

"...Another sometime confidante of Schaefer was self-described cannibal Ottis Toole. Sentenced to life for six murders, Toole was suspected of many more, most notably the 1981 kidnap-slaying of young Adam Walsh. By 1988, when he met Schaefer, Toole had several times confessed to Walsh’s murder, always recanting his statements when detectives asked for proof. Schaefer wrote to Adam’s father--John Walsh, host of “America’s Most Wanted”--posing as Toole and demanding $50,000 for Adam’s remains, “so you can get them buried all decent and Christian.” "
