CATFISH to Chatroom Killer: The Internet's First Murder...

Is this the first recorded online murder case? In 1999, Sharee Miller plotted her husband's murder with an online lover that she met through AOL. However, this was merely game. She saw all men as video game levels, and wouldn't hang around after using Jerry's feelings...

This poor man. His life got turned upside down by being honest at work

[@truth_hunter]

Yeah, that really bothered me. He got walked all over when he told the truth and then later he did something wrong by murdering this man his fake girlfriend accused of abusing her and hurting the babies that never had. So then he would have been in trouble for that too. I’m glad he told the truth but it’s sad he committed suicide too bad he didn’t report her to the police and say she’s trying to hire me to murder her husband supposedly he’s abusing her. He should have left her. I think maybe he thought he’d get in trouble no matter what he did right or wrong.

Law enforcement is strictly political. It’s like playing Game of Thrones in there. I worked for a sheriff’s department for about 3 years. If you weren’t in the inner circle you would remain as a normal deputy for your entire career, even though I had a bachelor’s in criminal justice, military experience as a E5 at the time, and wanted to move up in the department, I was constantly denied promotion because I “didn’t fit what they are looking for”.

@@skreemqueen7520maybe they just harassed him and bullied him until he quit. Then it’s not their fault bc he chose to leave. It’s awful to think you can get reprimanded for doing the right thing.

Even if you do everything right, they’ll fire you over something dumb so they can hire someone and pay them less.

@@tcf_iceland Very true, and both straight and gay men go through it too. I grew up being tormented as soon as the other kids could tell I was different Even though at that young age I didn't know that me being attracted to other boys meant I was gay and I never acted on it. Then I ended up with someone over a 3 year period who physically, emotionally, and mentally abused. One of his favorite things after a beating was to tell me I was a worthless F$g and when he was done with me know one would want anything to do with me and that had me fucked up for years afterwards believing I didn't deserve anything good in life or true happiness, BUT I eventually healed and have gotten better EXCEPT for a few years ago he contacted me to get back together and I was feeling SO ALONE I thought to myself well if I can't do ant better at least I know what I'm getting myself into and then I wouldn't feel so alone. Luckily that only lasted 5 minutes before I smartenned up KNOWING I DO deserve better. Things CAN get better for these women, they just have to want it to and realize their self worth. I wrote this knowing I'm probably going to get trolled but I don't care, I just hope my story can help someone or maybe start the process of reaching out to someone and asking for help.

Yeah, being single isn’t as bad as being with a horrible person that end up killing you or using you to harm others. In general, we can meet people in person that are very bad too. I’d tell myself to enjoy single life to the fullest because one day you will get married and you don’t want to regret that you should have enjoyed those single years better. Not saying marriage is a trap, if you marry a good one it’s a blessing but I don’t want to waste any of my life.

[@belladonnahigh9206]

Easy for those who experienced love one way or another, and now are single. I am 35, I was single my entire life, still am, and probably will be till I die. I have a skin disease, that depends on temperature and how moisturized my face is. And it all started at the age of 14, when I went on vacation with family to the beach. To the point - I burned my face in the Sun, I remember my skin turning thick, hard to the touch and my shoulders also were burned, to the point I couldn't sleep and remained under the shower, because it killed the unbearable itching. The disease progressed, gradually all the girls lost any interest in me, people started looking at me. When I went to highschool it fully developed, changing my appearance from a normal looking, handsomish guy, to an ugly funny to look at freak. I couldn't take all the abuse, so my third class was individual. In 2006 I was in a hospital for 2 weeks - their diagnose - body dysmorphic disorder. For years I went to different psychiatrists and they did not even know what BDD was. Because it's a made up bs mental illness to shut up everyone, who has a problem with their looks. Only in my case people actually stare and when with friends, they laugh, and I heard a couple of times "look, how ugly he looks!". Normally people do not shout it, but they laugh behind my back and don't engage any further, except for pointing fingers at me. I developed severe depression, severe anxiety and depersonalization. In my dreams I am always in my teens and my friends do everything right and I always lose, can't even do basic assignments. Nostalgia hits very hard. Now for the best - I can kinda control to a degree how I look - if I use enough purifiers and creams that dry my skin, I look somewhat normal. Otherwise my face, especially the cheek area, loses shape, I become round and uglier than ugly and funny to stare at. You normally don't look at ugly people, well, I'm beneath them, so I look like a freak, ugly freak to look at and, when with friends, laugh at. So essentially I became ill right before I had a chance and being intimate with a woman. I never had a woman and it kills me. Normally I am a very social person, I know this, but my face keeps me in check. Been to dozens of dermatologists, psychiatrists and no one can help me. I recently found thanks to this AI chat that there is something like face procedure where they test for different things. I recently felt so down, like never before, that my existence is one big nonsense and there's no way that procedure will uncover anything at all, I don't feel the need to rush it like before because I'm all out of energy and wish to be left alone and just sleep. All day, everyday. At the same time I feel enormous anxiety, my father is 70 and mother is 68, I fear their death. They are my only emotional support and with them gone I will either off myself or land in a hospital for the rest of my entire life for trying to off myself. I have a brother and a sister, they both have jobs, their lives, their families and I, I will always be lonely. I should have never been born, I only brought my family distress and depression. I hate myself for doing that to my family. Why I wasn't a miscarriage. If this is some trial from God, then he can go f himself. All I wanted was a nice wife and kids...

[@truth_hunter]

@@belladonnahigh9206I have a bad skin condition too. Was burned on my face for the sun from 2nd and 3rd degree burns. I used sunscreens but the medicine I was on made me burn more easily. Even my hands were sunburned. It did heal but took awhile and I had a skin condition with no cure since. Even with makeup sometimes people could still see it. Changing how I clean my skin and getting much older it has calmed down. Even with it calmed down it’s still awful people see me without my makeup they stare at me and make faces and say I’m so I ugly and some ask if I got a bad sunburn and I haven’t had one since I was 13. I didn’t find a good many until I was 41 years old. Now, I’m 43 I still look I the mirror and worry if I don’t have access to makeup to at least even out the skin tone people will stare at me in horror. Not sure how my husband can handle looking at me without makeup on. My skin condition can make my skin very thick and it looks like I have severe acne but it’s not acne. None of the medications made it better actually made it much worse. I can go blind if it spreads into my eyes. So I’m always worried about that. I’m disabled severely and have several chronic illnesses and several forms of chronic pain. That’s much worse not be able to do basic things most people take for granted. Every muscle hurts and connective tissues. My face hurts too when I tell anyone that laugh at me like I’m crazy. But that’s part of the illness. None of them have cures either. Even in my condition I still strive to think positive and still focus on the blessings I do have in life. I could tell you my whole story but I’m not going to. Thought about writing a book there’s so much that happened people would things it’s like sci fi or made up.

One thing that always strikes me about cases like this is how certain men can convince themselves that they are "deeply & genuinely in love" with someone who is cheating with them on a current partner. Tragic circumstances tend to ignite the hero impulse, I suppose. I myself was in such a position many, many years ago (I was under 20). It's funny how we can sometimes talk ourselves into doing things "for love" that we would never do under any other circumstances (I didn't hurt, damage or injure anyone or anyone's property though)

I think that's a pattern when you're dealing with narcissistic people and that you are trauma bonded to them in some way. It's a spectrum, so it may not go to the lengths shown in this case thankfully. However, it's terribly unhealthy for all parties involved no matter what. Good thing you are out of such a relationship if you can even call it that. It's more like torture really.

Another American case where police use a "lie detecting machine" on a suspect and actually base their opinion on it. It's pretty ridiculous how they've been duped into believing these things.

[@tessaducek5601]

With you 💯 percent. The idiocy of police and the press implying one has something to hide if they refuse one yet admit they are not one hundred percent accurate. In reality you can be hooked up to a toaster and receive the same nonsensical results. They need to be abolished altogether. Its junk science.

[@necro4258]

Not really though? Did you miss the part where they dropped suspicion of the dude even after he failed the lie detector?

[@cris1735]

Lik detector test aren't really used in courts and is a pressure tactic by the police. They want to see if the suspect changes his story after going through the lie detector.

[@Porkcupines]

I feel bad for the guy that killed himself. Obviously he got used but the bottom line is he is a murderer. He still killed a man in Cold Blood. The only actual victim is her late husband

So instead off calling the police or interrogating the abuser you instantly kill them. I feel no pity

[@gemnickygamer169]

@@abiolaakorede1509 Remember. He reported something to his corrupt police department and was pushed out. I understand why he was probably reluctant to go to them for help after they caused him to fall into depression.

[@supernova11711]

I mean, he could have offered to help her in other ways. Get her somewhere safe. Of course she would have had some reason that wouldn’t work but I still think most people would be able to stop short of murder even if they did believe her story. He wanted to be with her AND wanted them to share the life insurance payout. He regretted it only because he got neither. Regardless of what she told him, they were both doing it for selfish reasons. I’m sure he told himself it was because he was “protecting her” but again, if that was the case, they had many other options besides the most extreme. So no. I don’t feel bad for him and certainly don’t feel bad for her. They both got what they deserved.

[@bosunbill9059]

​@@abiolaakorede1509 Remember , he just got duped by a corrupt police department he used to ride with, and tried to be a whistleblower hence it got him depression. All this made him vulnerable to manipulation and aversion to the police. And given how any American PD acted and how many example of neglect presented by Coffeehouse`s mountain of video. He tried to do a good thing, but it is hard to blame him for it.

What happened to that innocent guy, John I think, is the perfect example of why police can't pursue a case without hard evidence. I've heard of cases where they had every reason to believe someone was guilty, but had to let them go, and it was frustrating because in that case the person really WAS guilty. I feel bad for what he went through, as just another one of Sharee's innocent victims.

@@cruisepaige You're right. Autocorrect must have switched it. It tried to do that to me earlier when I was writing about a eyeshadow palette. (⁠≧⁠▽⁠≦⁠)

It won't eat at her. People like her feel justified in everything that they do and they don't grow or change. They don't have self-awareness, gratitude, or even empathy. They're stuck in a child-like selfish state permanently and even intense therapeutic intervention may not rehabilitate them. She is probably still proud of herself and doing the same manipulative shit in any small way she can to whomever she meets in prison.

Case suggestion, if you're looking for a bit different angle on technology meeting crime, and a case that hasn't been frequently covered: Hans Reiser was one of those great big up-and-coming stars of Linux development... until he murdered his wife Nina Reiser. Now, it takes some strange sort of mental fortitude to delve deep into the Linux kernel, but usually not so much that you start killing people.
