Woman attempts to kidnap ex-Second Life boyfriend by gunpoint at his workplace

Meier · (08-22-2008, 10:10 PM)

Quote:

The pair apparently met online in "Second Life." A virtual relationship began between the victim, whose character was a Lion [I don't even wanna know...], and Jerrigan, whose online persona was said to be a virtual woman.

When the two met in reality several months ago, police said the victim ended the relationship, sending Jernigan into a downward spiral.

In the beginning of August, Jernigan allegedly drove to the victim's Pennsylvania workplace and attempted to kidnap him at gunpoint. While she was unsuccessful, she returned two weeks later to track down the victim's Delaware address.

Police said Jernigan posed as a postal worker in order to locate the victim's new address, as he had recently moved. After four days of searching, authorities said she found residence in the Whitney Presidential Towers on the 7100 block of Society Drive in Claymont.

Quote:

Police said Jernigan had bound her dog Gogi with duct tape and put him in the bathroom as he was making too much noise. The dog was said to be uninjured, but the SPCA is looking into possible charges of animal cruelty.

She brought her dog?

And was charged with "aggravated menacing?"

Chinner · (08-22-2008, 10:17 PM)

I looked on the map and I can't find gunpoint? Where can I find gunpoint!?

That is both hilairous and freaking nuts.

She sounds like a keeper.

Second Life is the weirdest thing in the world. I got told to leave some Western Town because I sat on a barrel, waving my prosthetic penis and shooting my Halo Sniper Rifle at by standers.

No kidding. I hope he didn't have any other crazy virtual girlfriends.

He's going to have to move again.

Hahaaha. Same here. A normal mind would think second life is about interacting with virtual persons...not freaking lions.

There was a Law and Order: SVU episode last year that featured a virtual world called "Alternate You." Maybe that's what you're thinking of.

Audio that a Second Life player recovered 2 days before she lost it (with some background tunes as well):

The evidence begins piling up!

Oops!

I read the title as: Wollan attempts to kidnap ex-Second Life boyfriend by gunpoint at his workplace

This isn't nearly as interesting.

She brought her dog Gogi along to the kidnapping, and had to use duct-tape to muffle and restrain him because he was making too much noise. This woman is clearly a criminal mastermind.

That was probably the furry episode. It was epic.

Sorry to crack down on the "[quote] lol"-fest, but I'm pretty sure that's just a random deformed shot, not actually his character.
