A 'Superfan' of Charles Manson who is set to carry out her vow to marry the 80-year-old notorious mass murderer (inset) was spotted out on Friday. Afton Elaine Burton, who calls herself Star, was spotted fabric shopping and looking at white satin (above), possibly for a wedding dress to sew for her jailhouse ceremony.
Previous reports said the couple were already married but latest suggestions are they are still to get married. The 26-year-old has been writing to the killer since she was a teen and even moved from her home in Illinois to the California town where he is imprisoned.

The couple filed for a marriage license on November 7, which gave them just 90 days to carry out the nuptials.
California Department of Corrections spokesman Jeffrey Callison previously stated that the wedding would have to take place on a visiting day, which happen on Saturdays, Sundays and certain holidays (including Thanksgiving).
Callison said the couple would be allowed 10 guests from outside the prison, two guests from inside the prison and an officiant of their own choosing.
However, the two are not be allowed to consummate their marriage since Manson's life in prison sentence bans him from receiving conjugal visits.
In previous interviews, Star gushed about falling in love with Manson and his 'philosophy' as a teen, and how she already considered herself married to him.

'I'm completely with him, and he's completely with me. It's what I was born for, you know. I don't know what else to say,' she told CNN in August.
Manson has been in prison for the last four decades, after he and four disciples of his doomsday cult carried out a series of murders in 1969.
One of their victims was Roman Polanski's actress wife Sharon Tate, who was butchered to death in her upscale southern California home when she was eight and a half months pregnant.
Manson and his disciples were initially sentenced to death, but later had those sentences commuted to life in prison.
In 2012, he applied and was denied parole, and cannot apply again until 2027 which means the couple have little chance of living together in matrimony.
Manson has been married twice before, first to Rosalie Jean Willis from 1955 to 1958 and then to Candy Stevens from 1959 to 1963.
Star has also been compared to one of Manson's disciples Susan Atkins, known as 'Sexy Sadie', who was also convicted of participating in eight of the August 1969 killings.
Manson and his 'Family' of disciples carried out a series of murders in August 1969, which they thought would bring about a 'Helter Skelter' race war.
The murders were centered on affluent Los Angeles neighborhoods, which they tried to pin on African American.
