Michelle Hadley - Rape Fantasy For Hire

One of the best parts of life is that things don't always work out the way you plan. The result can be an adventure that takes you to places you never thought you'd ever see, or experiences that help create memories that you can look back on for years to come. With good, though, there must also come the bad. Today's story has many moments that turn out much different than

My name's Ben and I'm Nicole and you're listening to Wicked and Grim.

A true crime podcasting. The following podcast material more mature audience listener discretion. I'm pretty sure Ripley is going to wake up with like the most of sore necks ever right now. Look at her.

No, she sleeps in weird positions all the time.

She does, but she's not a young, spry, little pup anymore.

Okay, what the heck? I actually took them to the dog park today and some lady was looking at rip and her dog was quite young, I guess, and she was looking at Rip and she was like, oh, you got some gray hairs. You're not a young pup. And I was like herself, it was like, she's four. Wow, Like what do you mean.

She's a husky. She's half like white hair, I know, half gray, half black.

I was a little bit insulted, actually, So it's like, what she is not old? No, that is not old. And here she is running around like a crazy person. So I'm like, what the heck she.

Didn't know what she's talking about. Yeah, Honey. On the other hand, I think she's curled up like a little freaking sweet angel over there. She's fitting into the tiny home like perfectly. She's officially completely comfortable. She has made her home. It's fantastic.

She stresses me out, though, but.

Okay, she just had one escape venture the other day.

She only escapes when I'm home. It seems like I literally take my eye off them for five minutes and then I go out there and Honey's not in the freaking yard.

Shit, it's the curse.

It makes my heart just stop.

It's a curse. You are cursed. The dogs will only escape when you're home, not when I am.

Okay, well, soon enough, you will be home all the time.

Yeah, that's true because I only have like a week and a half left until I am completely done my nine to five job, jumping in full to like videography work slash podcasting.

Yeah, it's awesome.

Yeah, I'm super pumped. There's gonna be a lot more content getting pushed out on Patreon, for example, in our social media, so you can expect to see that coming in the in the coming weeks. Yeah.

Speaking of Patreon, we got some people saying don't we we do.

And thank you for sending me a list. I have four individuals here starting with Ozzy Carlson, Tamara Newcombe, Amanda Ashcraft, and Amanda Carlson.

Nice.

Thank you so much to all you guys for joining us over on Patreons.

Amanda's henh yeah, and.

Two with the last name Carlson as well.

Oh seriously, okay, I miss that part. Yeah wow.

So they're going to be getting some awesome content. Like we did a little pre show for this episode. We do a pre show like every other episode, it seems like, and just throw it out there with some cool conversations and at the end of the month even think it what.

Exclusive episode three months?

Yeah, the only way you can hear the episode is on Patreon, And we're actually building a bit of a library over there now.

So yeah, so when you sign up too, like you can literally go and listen to all of them.

Yeah, so sign up, you got the whole back library of episodes. You can go through it. I'll listen to all those awesome ones cause I mean, like we have like, what one hundred and thirty episodes now on our like regular podcast library. We've probably got another like I don't know, thirty episodes twenty thirty.

Yeah, yeah, we should buy a list to actually put it out there.

We are, we got in the coming out in the coming weeks is actually going to be an addition onto our website that only patrons can access. So it's a nice easy access library that I can see at all, like boom right there.

Yeah, but we can share that on Instagram to which cases we've done. Oh yeah, so people can see if they're interested.

Right, Yeah, that's not a bad idea, actually, good good call. What else we got to talk about? Oh, okay, as cliche as it is, there is something we want to touch on the.

Weather, Oh my gosh, are we touching on the weather?

We are because I'm sorry, I'm stupid excited with the weather. We already mentioned it as we were talking to patrons earlier. But snow's melting Cavin fever.

I think touch on this. How about we touch on this every week until we have no snow because people are probably just shocked. But we literally still have Okay, I think not two feet anymore. I know, probably like at least a foot and a half though in some areas.

In some areas, I think a foot is our average. But if you go, like Dent to the downtown area, where there's a little more like you know, pollution and warmth, different buildings and cars, there's not a whole lot left, if any. But we're on the outskirts of town where there's snows.

Hire elevation up here. That's right. The dog park actually Heart had very little.

Which is good. But that's downtown too. It's downtown, so we probably have a good average of a foot of snow still in our lawns and everything. It's not cool.

I think it will be here for at least two more weeks probably.

Yeah, Well put it this way. I got a Facebook memory popped up. What was it last week? I was fishing on open water seven years ago on lake Yeah, and that same day my dad was ice fishing on the same fucking lake this year.

Right, yeah, so seven years I was like, what do you mean. At the same time, I was like, that's so dangerous.

Seven years ago, seven years ago, there's no ice in the lake. This year ice fishing, ice fishing. When he was drilling through, he said there was like a foot and a half two feet of ice on it. Still.

Yeah, we've had a particularly harsh winter.

You said shitty winter.

Wrong.

We've had a particularly shitty.

And I think it hit us mostly in in February or so, so that's why we're having all this extra yeah right now too, I think.

Yeah. And we've been getting a lot of shitty spring weather too. It's been freezing overnight, so yeah, cabin fever is soon going to go out the window. We're able to go outside and explore and melty snow and sun and stuff.

Melty snow and sun and stuff. It was snowing today, yeah, which is bullshit. I don't know if you knew that.

I did know that nothing stuck it with just some flakes coming down. Yeah, crisis averted. All right, you ready to get into this.

I'm ready to roll.

This is not the case that I was hoping to cover this week. The one I was going to cover this week is a little bit more involved, as I mentioned last time, so I'm pushing it off again to have the proper time to research that one. This one, though, it is just as involved. I was able to actually get the research done for this one, which is nice. So here we go.

Here, really, let's go.

So this case is the case of Michelle Susan Hadley.

Okay.

So Michelle was a twenty nine year old woman who was born on December twentieth of nineteen eighty six in Upland, California, to Michael and Susan Hadley. Now. She moved with her parents and her younger sister to Ontario, California when she was a younger kid. It was there that she would grow up and blossom into the person that people knew and loved. Her and her family were devout Christians, and Michelle was described as quiet, intelligent, a driven young woman.

You know, would you still cliff jump at your age?

Yeah?

Okay, just curious sells.

Yeah, I just might not go as high. You could still jump off a cliff into like four.

Feet down five feet that's fine as long.

As it's a cliff. You know, that's still cliff jumping. But yeah. She believed rules were to be followed, not to be broken. With her morals intact, she had a clean criminal history. She was just a good kid. Now, this didn't mean that she stayed out of the spotlight though, just because she kept her nose clean, was quiet. She kind of didn't seek out the spotlight per se. She

That's a big deal. Oh, yes, it must have been good.

Oh yeah, scholarships are like no joke, man, Yeah you get those. That's a merit on you for sure.

Awesome.

So, eventually, in two thousand and nine, she would graduate with a bachelor's degree, but also with an engagement ring proudly displayed on her finger. She was actually engaged to her high school sweetheart.

Oh isn't that just the best?

Oh? Definitely, just like us high school.

Sweetheart in case you didn't know, yeap.

However, unfortunately, though, like many relationships that start young, it didn't last.

We've heard that a few times. It's not gonna work. It's not gonna last.

Yeah, we've been lasting so far, so hopefully it keeps that way. Unfortunately for Michelle, though, it didn't work out the same wayang. They would separate and go their separate ways in twenty fourteen, only four years after their wedding.

Oh okay, so they did, so they got married. Four years later they divorced.

Correct. Okay, so now single and on her own for the first time as an adult. And by like on her own, I mean like as a single adult on her own, you know, not a partner to be dependent on. So Michelle was not too eager to jump into the world of dating. She had been with the same partner for years, and in fact, he was the only one that she'd ever dated, so the idea of starting at the beginning wasn't a fantastic thought, and rightfully so, I

It would be very daunting.

Oh yeah, I'd be at the super market being like, hi there, wow, I see you have eggs in your basket.

You know that's not how you chat at home. You're like, oh, I would just get so many chicks, like all the time.

Yeah, eggs in the basket. Chicks.

You so much confidence. So it's funny hearing you speak like this.

I probably I have false confidence. I like to think i'd be fantastic, but in reality situation, I'm sure I wouldn't.

Okay, well, I'm glad that I was right.

And I was like, you know, no, the podcast is over, I'll tell you how awesome I do. But yeah, reality is Though, Michelle wasn't like too fond of the idea going out there talking to people. I can understand, I wouldn't be.

Fond of it, No, I completely understand.

Yeah. So instead she found herself focusing on her career. She worked at a job as a marketing support manager for an insurance company. Now Here she would dedicate nearly all her time and energy, and she would at times even clock seventy hours a week. Yeah, which left absolutely zero time for dating, even if she did want to.

Okay, that's actually like not healthy though, that's a terrible work life balance exactly.

But I mean I understand if someone's enjoying it and if someone is working forward something, So no hate on it. But that's a lot.

Yeah, I mean, when you own your own business like I do, I probably actually clock that many hours some weeks for sure, probably, so who might as talk.

Yeah. Now, the funny thing is, though the world has an interesting way of working. Sometimes now you try and turn to blind eye and not seek something out, so sometimes instead that thing often comes looking for you. So it wasn't even a year later when Michelle will be at a Starbucks grabbing a coffee on her break when she would catch the eye of someone. Now the ma'am

Holy shit. Okay there I was like thinking, is there are you dropping a bomb? Is it some other three words?

But really yeah, he said, I lost quick only two dates later. Sometimes you know, you know, maybe yeah, And I mean she felt the same way. She said, it seemed like so so right, it seemed to just fit. And this was like there were two puzzle pieces, like nothing felt wrong about it.

So I mean, good for that.

Yeah.

And it was spring of twenty fourteen when the two moved in together, and this is when Michelle would realize just who Ian really was.

Shit, So is he a terrible person?

Well, we'll get into it. And I mean, at first, things weren't like. At first, things weren't too bad. Ian did have a very controlling side, though, and he would begin showing it more and more. He started trying to tell her how he wanted her to dress and present herself.

There's nothing wrong with that, right, There are I think circumstances where that can be totally fine.

Yeah, but boundaries.

But then if she wants to wear something else, like, she can fucking wear something else exactly.

So yeah, but in this case it was very one sided. He was very much so like, yeah, you should, you should do this, you should do that. Like he he had ideas of wanting to wear crop tops all the time. He wanted her to put on more makeup, he wanted to do like carlic nails, he wanted oh wow. He was even pressuring her to pierce her belly button.

Okay, I don't love any of this at all.

No, which again Devil's advocate, I was pressuring you to pierce your nose recently.

Yeah, but honestly that you had You've been wanting me to forever.

Only because you wanted to.

Well, yeah, because I have mentioned it and lots of times and like, I'm what, I want to do it so fun.

Yeah, but that's the thing I was fucking off right.

Yeah.

I would bring it up like every few months, being like, hey, you ever pierce your nose? And you'd be like yeah, one day and be like, Okay, I think you should do it soon. Yeah, And that's about the extent.

And then I did it when I wanted to do it exactly.

No, He's like, I want you to pierce she belly Oh my god, here's she belly button.

Honestly, let's go now. That just like makes me so uncomfortable.

Yeah. He was really trying to push this. He clearly had alter like what's the word, I'm looking for ulterior motives. He had an agenda sort of thing.

He was trying to create something that she wasn't.

Exactly and all of that sort of stuff he's trying to create was exactly against the very nature of who Michelle was.

Oh boy.

He would manage to convince her of many things over the course of their relationship, one of which was to leave her current job where she put in all these hours. He convinced her to leave her job and start a marketing position at Disneyland, which is a place that's fun. It is and it's a place said he previously worked at, and he knew many people who were still employed there. So in this position, Michelle would take a twenty thousand dollars pay cut oh annually.

That's substantial.

And in this position she would also be under the watchful eye of many people who could report back to Ian.

Oh okay, I kind kind of wondering if that's where that was going.

That's definitely where that was going.

Holy shit.

So he had her right where he wanted her. She was dependent on him now with the pay cut, she was always under his watch. They were living together, and she was beginning to get her to do more and more things that he wanted.

Gosh, okay, I'm like all hot and bothered here, not a good way I do not. She clarified that I do not like what's going on here at all.

Well, their relationship, though it was not the best in Michelle's eyes, it was still one worth being a part of. It wasn't getting terrible.

Yet she still loved him.

She still loved him. Most of these things were just minor red flags at this point. He's not like forcing her to wear crop tops. He's not forcing her to get the belly button. It's just a lot of pressure on. Okay, you know, he's putting a lot of pressure, and it's starting to get more and more. But she still does love him, and she still wasn't aware of all the manipulation,

Shit, I mean gosh, I feel like someone will propose to me that way now, and I'd say yes, thanks.

You should remember you're married.

That's just the most iconic thing you can do, right.

Yeah. No, He literally bought her plane tickets, flew her there for her birthday, and proposed to her under the Christmas tree right there.

Oh my god, Okay, well, I kind of do.

Really like that, and she of course said that yes. Now, this again was another turning point in the relaflationship. It was no longer just asking and convincing her to dress sexier. Ian wanted his new fiance to have sex with other men and to let him watch. Okay, again, Devil's advocate. If all parties are consenting, there's no harm harm in.

This, right, If she's into that as well, yeah, I.

Mean, like whatever floats your boat. The only problem is Michelle. As previously mentioned, was it about Christian and the whole cuckhold situation, because that's the definition of this, you know, someone who gets off on watching their partner in a sexual relationship.

She didn't want to do this, she.

Didn't and it's far from her beliefs. She didn't want to do this. It's not even part of what she believes in.

Just no, right, Okay, yeah, that's not good at all.

Still, though, Ian managed to chip away and eventually convince her and coerce her into it.

Oh my gosh.

Okay, so under the influence of apparent cold medication and several shots of fireball, and of course, tired of the harassing cont didn't do this, do this, do this. She finally caved, and she finally agreed. So Ian found a stranger on the internet from a website with a less than positive reputation known as Craig's List.

Oh my word, yes, okay, it just keeps getting worse. Okay.

So that night she engaged with the stranger while Ian watched Okay. The next morning, Michelle was filled with utter regret with what happened, even more so when she saw the video that Ian had recorded. Oh shit, yeah, and she begged him to delete the video.

Oh my gosh, this is bad.

He refused to delete it. He didn't seem to care at all about the feelings of his fiance going through all this regret, and instead of accepting his part that he played and coercing her, he just simply blamed her, saying that it's not like anyone put a gun to your head and make you do it.

Wow, okay, this is un believable. So it's almost like he did this to have some serious blackmail against her. Oh and it's kind of what I'm feeling like.

But at this point it can be perceived as that, okay, that there's a potential for this to be blackmail, but no, it's not blackmail material, it's that's just him. Okay, he just gets off on that sort of shit. Gosh, and I mean unfortunately she she believed him. She's like, yeah, no, one did put a gun to my head. He didn't make me do this. But just because he didn't physically make you doesn't mean he fucking didn't gaslight you into this, which is exactly what he did.

Well, yeah, if he's constantly preshing her and bringing it up and she's feeling like she's not making him happy because she's not giving him what he wants or whatever, she and then she goes and does it, and then it's like he's almost, well, I didn't make you do it, Like what the actual fuck?

Exactly, So she believed him. She's like, it is my fault, is what she's thinking. Wow, it's not him, it's me.

Are they married at this point?

Sorry?

Or not disengaged? Right?

Just engaged? Yeah?

Okay?

So four months later after this, the relationship continues. The two would buy a four hundred and seventy thousand dollars condo together. Both their names are on the mortgage, and of which Michelle paid the deposit all on her own. Instead of this being, you know, the thing to bring them closer together like she was hoping, it was actually a thing that drove him even farther apart. Ian was brutal,

Tim, I'm glad that she had realization.

Yeah, so she realized she needed to leave. Okay, So by August that year, she did right on. Ian of course, was furious. He watched as she sped off in her car to go live with her mom and her dad, and over the course of the next year, a long legal battle over the condo would ensue. And this is where Michelle let her anger get the better of her. She sent Ian angry biblical emails filled with cursing and damnation, threatening his eventual judgment from both the law and the Lord.

No, So she's just like scared shitless.

He oh, I'm rightfully so, oh yeah. Could you imagine just driving around after this sort of relationship and then seeing an unmarked van just following you?

Yeah?

Fuck this shit, I'm out, I know, holy fuck.

Like I don't even know how you'd really have a restless sleep.

Yeah, right, it probably wouldn't.

Oh boy. Okay.

Now, she had reported him to both her school and her workplace in hopes of like getting him banned, and apparently it was only the school that had listened. Her workplace didn't take it too seriously, but it did piss him off when he found out that he was banned from where she was still going to school. Good and in return, he reported her to the authorities for her threatening emails, and he also applied for a restraining order, though it was denied and he was unsuccessful.

Okay, that's good. Yeah, I mean the fact that he has those emails that sucks.

It does, so that's kind of that. It was left at that. They're kind of working towards their legal things, trying to just move on with their lives, and eventually they did agree to some legal terms in the condo where you know, he's going to continue to living in there, which he currently is, and she's going to continue to pay, and there's going to be some about how if he fails, they're going to try and sell it together and split it.

Okay.

And while he's living there, Ian met someone else.

Okay, I was thinking, what does he do? Does he destroy it? Does he like lower the value? But okay, he meets someone else.

He meets someone else, and he meets someone by the name of Angela Connell, and the two of them moved fast, so fast that they actually married one month after meeting. Yeah, so was now Angela Diaz. And three months after that they announced they were expecting twins.

Wow, Okay, that's very quick.

So Ian had a new woman in his life, a new bride in fact, a family with kids on the way, and a home that was supposed to be Michelle's was supposed to be her mm hmmm.

Because so this family is living in that condo.

Yeah, a condo that she is still currently paying.

Oh my gosh.

Okay, and I'm sure it was, you know, not so good news for Michelle to hear when she did discover this. Now, I know we have a few turning points already in this story, so I do just want to clarify. Buckle up, because here's another one, and there's more to come still, but while living her new and happy life, Angela with Ian one day received an onslaught of threatening biblical emails. Okay, one of which, for example, read this, you deserve nothing but a life of lonely torture. I have ways to

She has to know a little bit of this backstory, though, what's that like? The backstory? Angela? Like his name's Ian, right, Yes, he would have had to, or maybe he wouldn't. I'm curious if you share anything in regards to about Michelle to Angela.

He most definitely would have because Michelle, Michelle knew I'm sorry, Angela knew of Michelle. And ok yeah, okay, because when all these emails were pouring in, she sees she's getting them from Michelle, and she knows who Michelle is. Okay, so yeah, so Angela just tried to simply ignore these emails at first, but the messages persist. They began with death threats. They began with threats of having people come

My gosh, Okay, that's too that's too far.

It gets worse because they also the emails began having attachments to them of images of women being killed, beaten head bodies, survivors and non survivors of violent assaults, and even gruesome images of fetuses.

Really, hey, yes, key, And I don't know, I like, is this legitimately Michelle doing this?

Angela was receiving these emails from I believe it was upwards of six different accounts, all under the name of Michelle Hadley.

H I'm not fully convinced that it's the Michelle that's sending me no why Well, I don't know. Maybe I'm gonna eat these words, but like I was on her side like a few minutes ago here and now it doesn't seem so good. So I don't know, I'm gonna just keep listening.

Well, it was all too much for Angela. She wanted to get off social media. She didn't want to have any contact with Michelle in any way, shape or form, so she deleted her profiles, and she was terrified to the point that she was becoming a recluse. She was staying inside, staying away much as she could, and the emails kept coming in, and so eventually she filed for

Okay, See at first I didn't quite I didn't quite get what you meant here about. Holy shit. Yeah, so someone has put an ad out for her, yes, saying that she has a desire to be raped.

Correct someone, wow, is impersonating Angela on Craigslist and she is now receiving email responses from people who are willing to fulfill the ad.

Okay, that is really disturbing that. That is actually terrifying, isn't it. Wow? Okay, Like I'm I'm really I don't even know what to say to that. That's let that sink in terrifying. Wow, I've never I don't know, I'm just ever. Oh sometimes I just think I'm like too pier. I would just never have thought of like something so terrible to do to someone like that.

And how easy would it be to do that.

To Oh gosh, that's disturbing. Yeah, it would be easy.

Someone could take five minutes out of their day and do that to someone. That's it.

Yeah, And like, I mean, I guess there's ways of going about tracking who it is and stuff. Oh definitely, it's not necessarily super easy. Well, it's supers figure out who it is right off the.

Bat well, I mean, IP addresses and all that sort of stuff like it can be traced easy enough. But if you want to put that out on someone, you can do it. You're gonna get fucking caught, but you know what I mean.

Yeah, So see, I'm just gonna throw out something just so left fieldier and I know that I'm probably just so like off okay, but for some reason, and I think it might just be how you presented it, I think Ian is a piece of shit. That's his name, right, Yes, it's Ian. For some reason, I just think Ian is like such a piece of shit that like this is coming from him, Okay, And I don't know why my brain's going that way, but it is. And I'm sure

Yeah, okay, throwing your dart in the dart board seeing if it sticks. Hey yeah, okay, Well I'm just gonna leave it at that. We'll keep going and we'll see if your theory plays out.

Okay.

So after receiving these Craigslist responses, it would be three days later when Angela would be viciously attacked in her own garage.

Oh my gosh, no.

Someone broke in tried to rape her, but she managed to fight them off.

Oh okay, that's amazing.

By the time the police arrived, the individual had fled, but Angela was found in the garage basically in a panic.

Well yeah, holy heck, she would just never feel safe ever. Yeah, she needs to like flee this area.

So this was the last straw for police. Imediately went to find Michelle, who was just coming home from a date when she found police pulling up. Police parked in her driveway as she was pulling up, and there she was arrested, and they seized her phone, tablet, and laptop under a warrant, and they sent her away to prison.

I'd pay that for you.

Yeah, well, thank you, I appreciate that. But the moment she was free, Angela began receiving more responses from Craigslist ads again about more rape fantasies.

Well, yeah, because someone literally knows that she just got out of jail.

Yeah, but who ian Ian? Okay, you're sticking with.

That, eh, I don't know.

Well, as a result of this second round of Craigslist ads, a seventeen year old boy who thought the income counter was consensual, was found lurking outside of Angela's place three weeks later, and Michelle was once again arrested. Her bail this time, though, was one million dollars and she faced life in prison.

Okay, well, I mean some serious shit's going down here like this is terrifying.

And of course this time her parents couldn't pay bail, they couldn't get her out.

Well, no, that's a big chunk of change.

Oh definitely, I don't definitely have that.

I would be able to do that. I would do that for you. I'm sorry, fair enough, I can't expect that.

So eighty eight days doesn't sound like a whole lot to most people, and I mean it really isn't, especially considering the grand scheme of like life. But it mustn't have felt like it must have fell get dragged on forever for Michelle while she was sitting in prison, because she spent eighty eight days locked behind bars for those emails in those posts, all eighty eight days for a crime that she claimed she didn't commit. Okay, Michelle always

Do, right, Oh my gosh. Yeah, I'm sure there's probably a high percentage of people in jail right now that say they didn't do it.

I'm innocent. I'll tell you.

Some of them might not.

Have, but it's very possible.

The majority of them in there, I'm sure have.

Yeah. So, yeah, she just stood aground. She said it wasn't her, and that she was telling the truth, and she was almost certain she knew who it was. She was certain it was her ex fiance behind it all.

I'm just like, I'm like, Michelle, I believe you. It wasn't you.

Well, while Michelle was behind bars, her parents, like I said, couldn't pay her bail. But what they could do is they could hire a good lawyer with what with what money they did have. Sorry, I stumbled out there. And while they were doing that, they were able to look and see if they could unravel the story and what really happened. And that's exactly what did occur. The story

Oh, okay, I think I'm onto something here.

So well, a little bit of basic digging from Michelle's parents and lawyer began to unearth every bit of truth. Michelle couldn't be responsible. School records show that she was in class with many alibis with.

Other students, all her classmates.

Yeah, teacher, when a lot of these emails were being sent. Other documents showed that she was briefly hospitalized for another time when emails were being sent. A simple eyepiece software a tracker was installed by her parents and they managed to download some messages and show that the IP was not from Michelle's phone or any locations she had ever been been at during anything being sent.

Good parents, I like them.

Yeah, and all this is being done from the comfort of their own home. Yet police didn't even attempt to look at IP addresses or any sort of documentation on her whereabouts at all.

They're just assuming it's her.

They're just assuming they're taking the words.

She spent eighty eight days in jail for God's sakes.

Yep. So she hadn't written any of these emails or the job posts on Craiglist. In fact, she had no idea how they even got up there, and she now had the evidence to back it up and prove it. However, as they were collecting all this and getting it ready to defend their daughter, something unexpected happened. Oh oh Ian Diaz, Michelle's ex fiance, walked into the police office and confessed that he had just discovered his new wife, Angela, was actually the one who'd been behind this whole thing. She

Oh shit, I never would have called that one, he said.

He discovered this after he began to untangle a web of her lies, including one of a previous miscarriage while they were together, and then finding out that it was actually an aborted child because it was from a previous relationship. Okay, she wasn't sure who the father was, so aborted the child, claimed it was a miscarriage, and then was then pregnant with his twins right. However, that pregnancy was also fake, one she falsified by purchasing ultrasound images off Etsy for seven dollars.

Holy I didn't even know that was a thing.

So police were forced to finally begin to do a proper investigation. And then we looked in and when they looked into Angela closer, they found some damning evidence. All the emails and Craiglist posts were done using a VPN, which covers IP addresses. It essentially assigns a and a IPA address from somewhere else instead of your own right which under a warrant you can easily dig up the

Attacker, seriously, no way.

It was Angela herself. She ripped her own shirt, bloodied her own head, and called the cops all on her own. Digging into her history prior to all of this, they would uncover that she was a pathological liar, spinning lies from basically everywhere she went. One lie that stuck out to me from her past. I don't want to dig into too much of it, but one line in particular, even faked cervical cancer to manipulate an ex boyfriend.

That is disgusting, isn't it. Huh? Okay, well, fuck this. Though I thought I had this.

In the bag, you thought you had it in the bag here I did, well.

But this is way worse. Really, this is unbelievable. Well, I don't know. Is this worse? I don't know. I'm gonna keep listening.

Okay. Well, In January sixth, twenty seventeen, she was finally arrested. Angela was in cuffs, and the credit was all given to detectives for their hard work cracking the case, even though that was far from the truth. Yeah, no kidding, Yeah, Michelle had her name dragged through the mud in national headlines.

Hopefully she got some sort of compensation.

Well, initially she only got a simple I'm sorry and an apology. No no, until she would later take the city to court and settled with not only a city but also the police force on an undisclosed amount. Good, which is good, but still though Michelle didn't want money, That's not what she was after. She wanted justice. Angela would plead guilty in October of twenty seventeen as part of a plea deal and only receive a five year sentence.

Whoa what?

However, Angela was not Michelle's target for justice. It was Ian.

Okay, say that again.

Michelle knew Angela was a part of this. She knew she played a part, Okay, but she was insistent that Ian was the mastermind behind all of this.

Okay, so she thinks she Okay, so maybe I'm not totally okay, Okay, We're back into this now, I'm getting excited again. That's so bad?

Are you good?

I'm good? Yeah. Well, because she knows that he's a piece of shit, so let's hear.

This, okay. Well, she figured that when they split, he was so enraged that heft that she left him that he did all of this to exact revenge on her, even potentially part of getting the condo all to himself and not having to split the money with her as a result. Yeah, so the police were incredibly reluctant to

Okay, so he was actually a police officer.

Sorry, I can't what was his job? I have to scroll all the way back. He was part of law enforcement. He wasn't a police officer per se.

Oh way, yeah, I can't remember what the heck you it said?

Here it is he's a US marshal Oh okay, okay, So being a part of law enforcement basically, you know, people are protecting their own sort of thing. So it's kind of exactly a gray area on why all this occurred whatever. For whatever reason, he was kind of being protected, but he was. So what we do know is that Angela served time for her part, and if Ian had any part, he clearly walked free for it. But did he actually have a part in this? Well in March of twenty twenty three.

Oh that's like what it's April?

Yeah, okay, this was wow, ago.

I haven't heard a thing about this yeah.

A full five years after Angela pled guilty to her charges, Ian was finally taken to court for his apparent part in what happened to Michelle. Many details would be discovered. He had, for example, the access to the biblical emails that Michelle had originally sent, emails that you know, falsified replicas could be made from.

Huh.

So sure you can say that Angela did all this. Yeah, but if she's the one sending these biblical emails to herself, where did she get the reference from?

Yeah?

Well, Ian is the only one who had those references. Wow, so he would have had to provide them. There's also text evidence from Ian's phone to a Craiglist user telling them to come to the condo for the quote rape fantasy ad that was being placed online.

Oh my gosh.

He used Angela like a puppet to get back to his back at his ex fiance and proceed proceeded to throw her under the bus when it looked like evidence of Michelle's innocence was about to surface.

Huh. Okay, shit, I was right. That was a roller coaster for me. But yeah, we're back here. I'm back on the top.

Let me guess you knew it.

All, Alonge, Yeah, there's no doubt.

Yeah you didn't doubt. You didn't doubt it for a second. Well Ian was found guilty of the charges of conspiracy to commit cyberstalking, wow, cyberstalking, pure jury, and obstruction of a federal matter, and could face up to twenty years in prison.

Good holy shit.

His trial for sentencing will be scheduled for later this year, twenty twenty three.

Okay, So so it was all him. Angela was just so he was literally just playing her like a puppet, like she was pretty much probably going through the same thing that Michelle had been going through.

I don't know, per se if she was going through the same thing. I mean, the manipulation for sure. I don't know if the abuse side of it, that's hard to say for sure. But Angela was the perfect person for it because she is already a pathological liar. She's already Okay, that is true, Yes, that is all true.

Okay.

She is the perfect person to pin this on if he needs to, because hey, she's been lying this whole time to me. She's doing all this stuff. It's her character to lie. She's clearly jealous of my ex she's doing all this, I had no part. That's basically what he's doing.

Wow.

So what Angela went through I cannot speak of because I couldn't find anything on how she was treated by Ian. I'm assuming not very good.

But he very much so intentionally chose her.

I'm not sure if it was intentional or just coincidence that he happened to find someone.

That her and was like, dang, this will ork for me exactly. Huh.

He probably was just out on the prowl to find someone and he was like, Hey, I could fucking do this with this person.

Yeah, holy heck.

So yeah, we're waiting for his trial. We'll be watching to see just how long his sentence is. He could get up to twenty years, but I mean chances are it will be a lot more than an eighty eight days or five years.

Had you come across this case online then or something? Uh?

Yeah, Actually I had come across it a few months ago, and I was I was kind of intrigued by it. And then when I started researching it, I had started researching like a week after his trial had occurred.

Wow.

And so as soon as like as soon as I started typing into Google to research and everything. Yeah, boom, all these recent articles from like five days ago popped up on his on his trial, and I was like, holy shit.

Yeah, because I'm curious, then if people who are listening have heard of this, then if it's been like in the news and stuff recently, right, because I have not heard of anything of this.

Yeah, Well if you google it right now, you'll just get a shit ton of articles from like a month ago.

Wow.

Yeah, So now you can dive deeper into some of the semantics of the things that did occur on this.

Oh you always can, Yeah, you always can that.

Yeah, there was, especially in a lot of the lies and stuff, like Angela's history for example, some of the details on how it played out on Michelle's end, like when she was in prison, for example, one of one of the details that she was like looked at as like a very low life in prison because she was attempting to kill a pregnant woman.

Oh that's scary.

Yeah, so everyone in jail hated her, and she also had another cellmate who was an elderly woman who was also like hated from she was in there from like kidnapping or something. Okay, but reportedly after she got out of jail. She went back and helped this other elderly woman get out of jail and like rehabilitate her too, because she had this new like insight on what it's like to be in prison. And okay, she only had a chance because of like who she is and privilege

I was worried there was going to be a different outcome and that Michelle died or something. So nope, Thankfully, thankfully, there are no deaths.

In this one. Y Ian's a piece of shit. Angela, though she is also a victim in this, she's also playing a very heavy part. Not cool. Let's just say that.

Yeah, not cool, Angela.

Not cool, Angela, not cool.

Are you impressed that I had caught onto that at that point or you're like, no, it's obvious.

I did plant a few seeds, very very obvious seeds. One of the things I was actually hoping you would catch on is the use of Craigslist. You have no idea what I'm talking about.

The cell I don't today, So I'm trying to.

Figure it out when Ian convinced Michelle to have this cuckhold situation and screw some stranger from Craigslist. Okay, and now all of a sudden, there yeah, these predators for hire also on Craigslist again. Yeah, that was a red flag for me right away when I was researching us. It's like, holy shit, Craigslist, Craigslist boom. I guarantee you not.

She probably wouldn't use it. It might be using marketplace, you know, it should change it up.

Just sitting there on Facebook marketplace looking for a sexual predator today.

Please, Oh my gosh, that's so bad.

Wow, but yeah, it's it's interesting.

What a freaking shit show of a case.

Wow, you haven't heard of this one?

Heh, No, I definitely have not.

You enjoyed the story on this one though, by the.

Sounds of it, it was a little It was definitely like interesting. I don't even know how to describe.

It fair enough. I was really hoping you weren't gonna waiver from your your theory of I and though, but you really did.

I you know what, I didn't. I was like all against you in the whole time.

Of course, of course.

I know I did waiver, but I was just like, oh, really, I wasn't expecting the Angela this this what is it called the turn of events there? But yeah, yeah, you know Ian's a piece of shit.

But I mean he manipulated Michelle. Of course he's going to manipulate Angela too.

Yeah, so yeah, I'm going to give myself at least fifty percent.

Okay, yeah, I'd give you more. I'd give you way more.

Okay.

I mean, you got a lot of credits early on. You you deduced some things and you did.

Well, so oh I could have done better, but yeah, it definitely wasn't a fail. So there you go.

You passed with flying colors.

Well done. That would have been definitely interesting to research.

Well it was.

Well.

I hope you guys enjoyed this episode. Hopefully you stuck around to the end and even here are rambling as we're sitting here right now, and hopefully you are rooting for Nicole to get get Ian right, and you didn't waiver like she did.

Oh, oh, I know. I mean, okay, no, I've bet a lot of people were in the same vote as me.

I probably. As I mentioned at the very beginning, there's a lot of twists and turns, a lot of unexpected events. So if you didn't follow along and you're like, holy shit, I didn't see that coming, I can't blame you. I was the same way when researching. But even still, if you want to check us out on some more social media's and stuff, like I said, in the next about two weeks, you can see a big increase coming when

Yeah, on our polls or whatever. They're yeah, very cool, right, So.
