She was receiving long, rambling emails threatening her life, saying that her husband is cheating on her.

She's telling her to watch her back, she better get out of the picture.

Menacing emails sent to a newlywed.

The new wife went to authorities and said that she was being harassed.

That's kind of when all the fireworks start to happen.

Obviously this has to stop.

What arrived next was far worse.

Strange men appeared at her door and tried to attack her.

Somebody was posting ads online saying that they wanted to fulfill this rape fantasy.

Everything pointed to her husband's ex.

They said we're going to have to take you into custody.

You're incarcerated.

For potentially the rest of my life.

But hiding behind the threats was a cyber secret.

Evil, something that the devil might do.

So who was the real devil?

The DA in this case could use the word diabolical.

I think he's close to the mark.

A dangerous game with someone playing for keeps.

I would wake up and I would think this is just a nightmare.

And he wasn't.

I'm Lester Holt and this is Deadline.
