Catfished into murder and rape. WTF?

With the proliferation of video streaming, how is catfishing even possible anymore? If a stranger is making extraordinary claims about personal relationships but can't live stream themselves you should be skeptical. If they are offering you $9 million to rape and murder...

 

 

Three Alaska teens charged Tuesday with the murder of Cynthia Hoffman allegedly killed the 19-year-old earlier this month as part of an elaborate scheme to cash in on a $9 million offer that didn't really exist from an Indiana man who merely pretended to be a multimillionaire, prosecutors say.

Schilmiller's family sent WAVE 3 News the following statement:

“Darin Schilmiller was born as Darin Thomas. He is a low-functioning individual, which was apparent at an early age. His biological family did not want him. He was subsequently adopted into the Schilmiller family in an attempt to provide a better life for a child. We had no knowledge of what was happening nor did we believe he was mentally and morally capable of carrying out these actions. We are mortified this is attached to our name. Our family is disgusted and hopes justice is served. We want the victims’ families to know our thoughts and prayers are with them. As bad as our embarrassment may be, it pales in comparison to the tragedy they have to endure.”

While those who knew Darin were shocked to hear about his involvement in this murder, they weren't surprised to hear that the FBI was already investigating Darin for child porn charges. "I don't think that anybody thought he would ever kill anybody but the child pornography—he definitely had a problem there," said Jade Pohle, who attended middle school and high school with Darin.

Jade reported Darin asking her for inappropriate photographs of herself in bathing suits while she was underage, and other women reported that Darin would frequently create fake personas on the web and use them to ask for photographs of babies having their diapers changed. In fact, some said that Darin's penchant for child porn was an open secret in the small town where he lived.

Man. Everything about that is fucked.

Trying to con people into murder and rape for kicks I assume? 

Picking a Developmentally delayed “best friend” as your victim. 

Hope they die in prison.

So, how did these brilliant minds get hooked up together in the first place?  I imaging Coach Herman might have seen them surreptitiously chatting during cocktail hour after a MENSA meeting, but it was probably some online hell hole for people chatting about how great it would be to murder people.
