A man and his new wife become the focus of a chilling mix of online harassment and escalating violence. They think it's his ex-girlfriend…but what’s really going on?

In 2016, Angela Connell started getting threatening emails from someone invoking the persona of a vengeful demon from Jewish mythology. Her husband, US Marshal Ian Diaz, told cops the messages were sent by his ex-girlfriend, Michelle Hadley. Despite a restraining order, the threats continued, including a plan to trick men into attacking Angela, believing she had a rape fantasy. After things turned violent, police made an arrest. But when new details emerged, authorities took another look at the crimes and concluded all was not as it seemed.
