Phony Marine ventilates phony lover of phony 18-year-old prom queen

Yeah, that’s a lot of phoniness for one title isn’t it? The story sounds familiar, so if I did this story before, I apologize.

The moral of this story will shock most of you; not everyone on the internet is who they say they are. I know, seems incredible, doesn’t it? Anyway, let me see if I can sort this for you; A 46-year-old former Marine, Thomas Montgomery, who never saw combat pretends on the internet to be an 18-year-old Marine headed to Afghanistan to impress an 18-year-old high school girl who turns out to be a 45-year-old woman called Mary Shieler who sent pictures of her own daughter. So Montgomery was planning on leaving his family and move to (where else) West Virginia to be with his prom queen, who probably wouldn’t notice that he’s a fat, bald 46-year-old until it was too late.

Well, Montgomery’s wife found out about the online buffoonery and emailed a real picture of her husband with his family which touched off Shieler who found one of Montgomery’s co-workers, Brian Barrett, and flirted with him, which made Montgomery jealous and led to him shooting Barrett three times and killing him.

Sounds like a Lifetime movie, huh?

Montgomery pleaded guilty to Barrett’s murder and was sentenced to 20-years.

Prosecutors in New York desperately searched for a reason to charge Mary Shieler, but ultimately, could find no law she had broken.

In her defence [sic] she claimed that she was keeping Montgomery online so that he couldn’t talk to other teenagers.

Shieler has never apologised [sic] to her daughter and her husband divorced her and Jessi cut off contact.

Yeah, cuz making a man insanely jealous enough that he’d murder someone is better than him talking to teenagers. I guess it’s people like that who send their debit card numbers to Nigeria.

Thanks to Chief Tango for the link.
