The father of Hadsell's previous victim, who was his Father in Law, used to post here, in the threads about his kidnapped daughter. He used his real name and I read all of his posts and I also followed him on another forum which is now closed.
He was very vocal about that case. When his daughter was found by the police and rescued, she was very weak and scared. She did go before a Grand Jury and describe the violent kidnapping. It is somewhere on here on an old thread, but the Search Function does not work well for me here for some reason. But she described how he hid in front of her brothers home, grabbed her from behind, choked her, and dragged her to his car. She dewxribes being raped as well.
Her father posted that after the Grand Jury, when he was indicted for kidnapping/rape/assault, his daughter became very scared about having to testify against him. She was so worried about it that prosecutors were concerned. So they passed the case oft the feds and got him on bank robbery etc.
When AJ went missing I thought about the ex-wife. And I wonder if she possibly felt really sorry that he was out and free and she maybe wished she was able to put him away longer. So it does not really surprise me that it is happening now, belatedly. I applaud her for stepping forward. It must be very frightening and emotional for her.
