Let me start by saying that as I type this, I am still in denial about being scammed. I have never put so much into something and got nothing but pain in return. I am in love with a ghost.
I was in baghdad iraq for a year and a half from march 2003-august 2004. When I was there I was hit by a roadside bomb and seen many things that have messed me up mentally since. When I got back from one of those horrible days I went online to relieve stress or to think of home...I went to HOT OR NOT. com and typed in Key word Metallica and Pantera and it pulled up this beatiful girl from IL, named whitney. we exchanged information and ended up getting on yahoo messenger and talking. instantly we clicked. we had so much in common, and we was both comfortable with each other....looking back it is safe to say that I loved talking to her from the get go.
About 6 months went by and I got home and got on messenger and talked to her, we finally started talking on the phone...instantly we clicked. We would talk for hours and hours. She told me how her dad died of cancer and how she was in an abusive relationship with a guy she was engaged to. Eventually she cought him cheating so she ended it....because of her dad dying of cancer, from asbestis in his lungs(they worked at a railroad company together) she too had some, but it wasnt as serious, so she entered a lawsuit for 9 months. I helped her through it. We would talk for hours and hours....
I was excited to meet her, so I drove to st. louis May 2007 where she was with her lawyers going over things for court....5 hours away one way. We was suppose to meet at the arch at midnight. I had a green chem light so she knew it was me. I got there at 11:30 and texted her. She said that she had just got done getting a tattoo and that she was nervous so she wanted to grab a beer first and meet me there afterwards....I was like come meet me and we will hug and grab one together...then nothing for 25 mins....then I get a text saying she was arrested cuz the bartender seen a guy shove coke in her pocket and called the cops. I went to the cops and asked them if they had a whitney smith in possission...they didnt. She claimed that it was a special type of undercover cop and that she was being taken to Kansas City for questioning and told me to go home. I did...bawling the entire time.
I got back home and we talked...I wish that I could tell you that the pain ended there..but it didnt.
The lawsuit drags on and on....each day I am asking her when she is coming when will it be done...when will it end....she would tell me I got awarded "X" amount today and we are getting closer baby...
November comes...thanksgiving it is a 4 day weekend so I ask her if we could be together...told her that I was going to propose...so I get in my truck and drive 14 hours one way, broke to go meet this girl...5 MINUTES befour I get there, she says that her lawyer was arresting her and that she had to go to Fort Worth Texas to question a guy that is going to help them win the lawsuit. She tells me to go home and that she will come to me as soon as the lawsuit is done...
December 5th..the lawsuit ends, and she claims that she is so stressed out from stuff with her dad dying and with the lawsuit that she needed to go home to "find herself again" and instead of flying here like we had planned and talked about for 9 months, she flew home.
X-mas. I had 12 days off from work. I was heading home and the deal was that I was suppose to spend X-mas with my family and then go be with her after X-mas for new years.... she lives in or around Keokuk Iowa....so it wasnt outta the way since my family lives in michigan. Again she tells me to go home as I am driving by her Exit in a text message....so I do....I spend New years alone.
January 21st we was suppose to meet,she had told me that she had a wedding to attend that she was in and that she was to drive here and stay with me an undetermined amount of days after the wedding......the day befour it is suppose to happen, her mom has to have emergency bipass heart surgery.....
4-11-08 I was suppose to meet her at the olive garden in Iowa City.4-10-08 We talked about what we would eat, how excited we was that it was finally over..that we would finally be together....that night she changes...around 7 pm she tells me that mom is getting out and that she was coming to me and not to go to her...
I havent heard from her in 27 hours. I dont know if she is alive or dead.
To anyone that hasnt gone though this, you will never know or understand.
I LOVE THIS GIRL WITH ALL MY HEART. We would watch movies together....by pressing play at the same time on the DVD players and talk as we watched. She was the only person that I have ever let completely know me. I told her EVERYTHING about me. We had nicknames....chirpy and sqeeky...we talked of opening a music store calling it SKILLETS ROCKING BLUES named after her dad's nickname. We spoke of having kids, JAYMZ LEE, and KATIE LYNN...
She painted this perfect picture...5'7 long black hair, tattoos, piercings, 145lbs, guitar player, knollege of music, blues,metal,rock,county....mechanic with muscle cars, she had my dream car....she could weld, build ****...she sent me music tracks of her dad playing guitar with her and her singing..she had an AMAZING VOICE!!! She said we was soulmates and that she only wanted to be with me. that she had saved herself for me for the last 1.5 years and hasnt been with anyone since Sept 2006.
I got pictures of her....and of her sister, her dogs....But i never got to talk to any of her family or friends...
She sent me to cards in the mail, music cards, with hand written love letters telling me we was soulmates, but the envolopes didnt have return adresses on them...her reason was because of her abusive relationship with her X, she was afraid and was protecting her family.
I HAVE DONE NOTHING WRONG! I HAVE BEEN THERE FOR THIS PERSON FOR 4 YEARS ANYTIME SHE NEEDED ME. I HAVE KEEP EVERY SINGLE PROMISE I MADE. I HAVE GAVE SOOO MUCH, BOUGHT GIFTS THAT I CANT EVEN GIVE HER. I CRIED FOR HER MORE THAN I DID DURING THE WAR! I NEED CLOSURE. SHE WAS MY BEST FRIEND.....WHY WOULD ANYONE EVER DO THIS TO ANOTHER PERSON???
SHE NEVER ASKED FOR MONEY. EVER. SHE NEVER WANTED ANYTHING FROM ME..JUST MY LOVE...SHE HURT ME SOOOO MUCH AND SOOO MANY TIMES....I GUESS I FIGURED THAT IF I PUT ENOUGH INTO IT THAT IT WOULD ALL BE OKAY...THAT SHE WOULD COME AROUND AND TRUST ME...THAT ID GET TO HOLD HER AND SAY THANK YOU FOR HELPING ME IN IRAQ.
I NEED HELP. i NEED ADVICE. I NEED CLOSURE! i REALLY WANT SOMEONE TO INVESTIGATE THIS PERSON AND SEE WHO THEY REALLY ARE...WHY THEY WOULD DO THIS TO ME...WTF I EVER DID TO DESERVE TO BE LEFT IN LIMBO LIKE THIS....I AM IN PAIN CONSTANTLY. PLEASE HELP!!!!-lost in tennessee
