Hello and welcome to after the show for episode 149, Dr. Stefan Anderson and Anna Trujillo.

Daniel, what did you think of my crazy case?

One thing I just thought of that you had mentioned from the very beginning is she claimed they were engaged.

Yes.

But then they were ex-fiancee?

How did she describe him to the operator and the law enforcement she said fiancee and

then she was saying ex-boyfriend okay so at some point he according to her he was thinking about marrying

this train wreck yes so nobody really knows the extent of the timeline for sure, but they do think that he was saying we should get married, like just a few days after they met.

And then she was saying, well, I don't want to marry you until after we've lived together.

But there wasn't a ring.

There wasn't an official engagement.

It was just they were trying it out.

They were trying out the living situation to see if it would actually work.

And they knew pretty much right away that this was not going to work.

But she would still call him her fiancé.

Gotcha.

When she'd go into a bar and say, oh, put it on my fiancé's tab,

or this is my fiancé's condo that I'm going up to kind of thing.

Okay.

All right.

She used that to attach to that title.

I believe so.
