THE mother of a waitress who was murdered by a killer dubbed “The Boogeyman” has pleaded with his new Scottish girlfriend to dump him.
Mum Winnie Chutes was horrified when she discovered evil Jacob Ferrero, 31, had found love behind bars.
He was caged for at least 45 years in the US for battering and strangling her daughter Samantha Greenlee, 22, to death in 2014, killing their unborn child at the same time.
But he has struck up a jail cell romance with mum Chelsea Birkett, 30, from Scotland, who posts details of their bizarre affair online.
Winnie said: “There is not a day goes by that I don’t have a memory of my daughter.
“Chelsea, you are deeply hurting us by posting on social media and portraying him as a good guy.
“He didn’t just steal a car. He’s a killer. He killed my daughter and stole an unborn child.
“Life is too short. I encourage you to move on with your life and find a healthy way to get social media views.”
Ferrero battered Samantha with a baseball bat and then choked her after a row over him getting someone else pregnant.
He sat with her body in their flat in Columbus, Ohio, for two days before he wrapped her in a shower curtain.
He then buried her in a shallow grave outside a church and torched their home to try to cover up what he had done.
Frantic friends and relatives spent a fortnight searching for Samantha when she vanished after clocking off work.
The night after they held a candle-lit vigil, warehouse worker Ferrero confessed and led cops to the grave.
He was described as “The Boogeyman” by prosecutors at his trial.
Samantha was three months pregnant when she was murdered. On her gravestone, there is a tribute to her unborn child.
Still grieving, Winnie said: “I always think of how Samantha suffered and how terrifying her final moments must have been.
“I’d love to ask Chelsea how do you think my daughter felt after her killer beat her with a baseball bat?
“Do you know when that wasn’t enough he put his hand around her throat and squeezed her last breath?”
THIS twisted artwork was created by killer Ferrero to make pals while in jail.
It shows a woman kissing a man as she grabs his throat and holds a shard of glass to it.
Ferrero, who choked his victim to death, shared it on a site for lags to make pen pals.
Besotted Chelsea Birkett got in touch, saying: “Best decision ever.”
Winnie has been in touch with bosses at the Marion Correctional Institute in Ohio, where Ferrero is caged, to demand his relationship is brought to an end.
She has seen videos where Chelsea shows off gifts she has bought for the warped killer — including a wedding ring — and worries about how she has paid for them.
Winnie added: “Pen pals are allowed in prison. But should she be posting pics of this killer on social media and making him out to be a good guy?
“And is she making money from her social media views or whatever and then using that to buy presents for him? It’s horrible.”
Yesterday, we told how mum Chelsea had fallen head over heels for twisted Ferrero and the pair exchanged daily videos and messages.
She has hit back at the online abuse she has had and declared: “Love really does have no limits.”
Ferrero will not be able to apply for release for another 37 years.
