Internet Fauxmance Turns Deadly: Man Killed Over Relationship With Woman Pretending To Be Her Daughter By Man Pretending To Be 18-Year-Old Marine
I don't even know how to summarize this. The article's writer seems to have the same problem, but stick with it, it's plenty werid.
Roy sums it up:
Woman pretends to be her daughter in chat room.
Guy chats her up, pretending to be young Marine.
Guy's wife reveals (to the woman pretending to be her daughter) that young Marine is old married ex-Marine.
Woman chats up other young guy (to find out if it's true that her internet paramour isn't really what he claims).
Old guy kills young guy in a fit of jealousy.
It's like Romeo & Juliet, except with ugly, stupid people.
In related news, Steven Seagal has ballooned up to 600 pounds.
I guess that's not really related. But it's the elephant in the room.
