Lady Taker
> Remember Miss Vicki (Victoria Budinger) who married Tiny Tim (Herbert

> for the murder of his wife, Carol, is about to start in New Jersey.
>
> Here are some excerpts from George Anastasia's article in today's

>
> It is unclear where or when they met or just what the nature of their

>
> They aren't talking. But some people close to them are willing to share
> bits and pieces of the story.
> ...
> "She thinks he's innocent," said a friend, who asked not to be
> identified. "She thinks they're going to be together."
>
> He is Rabbi Fred J. Neulander, accused murderer and former leader of
> Cherry Hill's Congregation M'kor Shalom. Jailed for the last two years,
> he goes on trial again next week for the 1994 murder of his wife Carol.
> She is Victoria Lombardi, formerly Victoria Budinger, also known as
> "Miss Vicki," who gained national attention back in 1969 when, at 17,
> she married kitschy pop star Tiny Tim on Johnny Carson's Tonight Show.
> An estimated 45 million viewers were watching that night when the shy
> Haddonfield teenager tied the knot with the ukulele-strumming falsetto,
> 20 years her senior.
>
> Eight years later, she was divorced and back in South Jersey, where she
> flitted in and out of the celebrity spotlight as a dancer, a model, and
> the owner of a "new age" gift shop.
> ...
> Folks have been talking about the Miss Vicki-and-the Rabbi connection in
> Cherry Hill for more than a year. There are several different versions
> of how and when the two met. Some say it was at a cocktail party.
> Others say it was one of her family members who made the introduction.
>
> They flirted. He sent her flowers. They dated. They developed a
> relationship, said the friend. It began sometime in 1998 and continued
> even after his bail was revoked and he was jailed in May 2000.
>
> Friends say she is currently driving a car owned by the rabbi, and that
> his mail is forwarded to her Haddonfield apartment.

> [Defense attorney Michael] Riley said the relationship between the
> rabbi, 61, and Lombardi, 50, has no bearing on his client's guilt or
> innocence. Rabbi Neulander, in a statement released through Riley,
> accused The Inquirer of "pandering."
>
> "The reporting of nonnews is salacious at best," the rabbi said in part.
> "It may well cause embarrassment and even shame among journalists of
