    One dude ghosted everyone about a decade ago. One day he got a phone call while hanging out with some friends, said he had some important family business pop up, and completely vanished. We had tried googling him, but didn’t get anything substantial… Until one of our friends remembered that he always went by his middle name. His legal first name was completely different. So we finally googled using his legal name…

    Turns out, he’s doing 30 years for repeatedly raping his underage cousin. We started looking at trial and sentencing dates, and realized he got that phone call about a week before he was initially indicted. So we’re betting it was the cousin coming forward and telling someone, who then called to confront him.
