Stephanie Melgozza was a 24 year old woman from Illinois that killed 2 innocent pedestrians, Paul Prowant, 55, and his girlfriend, 43-year-old Andrea Rosewicz. When police got to the scene both Andrea and Paul were declared as deceased on the scene even after many attempts of CPR. When police spoke with Stephanie about the crash, she was clearly very intoxicated, slurring her words and laughing the entire time during her field sobriety tests. Stephanie was made aware multiple times that she had hit and murdered 2 people but refuses to listen to police and instead keeps insisting that she didn’t. Stephanie was taken to the station when things would only get more concerning when she continues to talk to officers about her girls trip in Vegas coming up and when she can get her car back for school, still oblivious to the severity of the situation.

Imagine it's a Saturday night, you get a little bored and decide to go on tinder. You swipe and swipe until you see someone that catches your attention. His name is Treshon, he's 26, lives 3 miles away from you, so you message him. Not expecting it to go anywhere, you start to notice this guy is pretty funny, he's charming, maybe this guy is different from the rest. The only odd thing about Treshon is that he's a police officer at the Bernalillo county sheriff's office in Albuquerque, New Mexico. And it's not weird he's a police officer, it's weird because you yourself are also a police officer, working at the Bernalillo county sheriff's office in Albuquerque and never once seen him around despite him claiming to work there for years. When this happened to a female officer for the BCOS, Treshon's tinder profile was flooded with selfies of him in BCOS uniform, gear, vest, badges and gun on his holster. She went into work the next day and showed his tinder profile to her co–workers and none of them recognized him either. But if he wasn't a real police officer, then how did he obtain all the real badges and uniforms? And how many other women has he manipulated to believe this in the past?

In April of 2022, 32 y/o Nathaniel Huey got an odd message on facebook from a blank account. This message told Nathaniel that they were a group of high-profile criminals and hackers and was reaching out to him because they believe his life is in danger. At first Nathaniel ignored the messages thinking it was spam, until overtime they became more cryptic saying things like “he's watching you” and “I watched your wife as she slept last night through the window, she sleeps up against the wall right?” These texts would come from multiple accounts and numbers for the next year and a half.
