Did he follow and message them on Instagram?Was he an incel that felt injustice in his life for being rejected by women?

The couple were in bed. The same one that they had slept in every single night for the past few years. Only, nothing about the day was normal. Jackie was inconsolable. She was sobbing, shaking, not understanding what was going on. Her husband, Tom, tried to comfort her. He told her everything was going to be alright. He was going to be with her. He tried to lean over and grab her hand so he could lovingly stroke it, giving her more reassurance. Only, nothing was going to be okay. They were tied up, thrown onto the bed, by an evil child star who was making plans to have them thrown overboard the yacht. Full Source Notes: rottenmangopodcast.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
