A Chicago woman has fallen for one of the "Boys Don't Cry" killers and has been granted a marriage license for their future prison wedding.

Justine Mirth says she can't wait to marry Tom Nissen, although she's never seen or met him in person.

The 32-year-old says Nissen's the man she loves and that she wants to spend the rest of her life with him.

Nissen and co-defendant John Lotter were convicted of the 1993 murders of three people in a farmhouse just south of Humboldt in southeast Nebraska.

The crime inspired the 1999 movie starring Hilary Swank, who played the Brandon character.

Mirth and the 34-year-old Nissen have learned about each other through long letters and scores of 15-minute phone calls -- the prison maximum.
