Hi, Crime Junkies. I'm your host Ashley Flowers, and I'm Britt.

And today, I'm going to tell you a story about a man who met what he thought was the woman

of his dreams. But he ended up walking into an absolute nightmare. This is the story

of how Johnny Altinger fell victim to the Dexter killer.

It's a Friday night before the Canadian Thanksgiving long weekend in October 2008. And Johnny

Altinger is getting himself ready for a date. And he's pretty excited about this date.

He's been talking to this woman Jen online and by email and texting for the past few

days. And he's really into her. And even better, she seems really into him.

Now Johnny has already told several of his friends about the woman and about his plans

to meet up with her Friday night. Now her profile on Plenty of Fish shows a beautiful brunette

in a bikini on a beach. And you know, his friends are like a little surprised that this

woman is into their nerdy friend. But they're excited for him. Like Johnny is a great guy

and he deserves to find some happiness and have a little fun. But one of Johnny's friends,

Dale, is a little bit concerned about this plan. I mean, he's happy for his friend, but

concerned because the woman doesn't give Johnny an address for where they're supposed

to meet. She just gives him these really cryptic directions that have him like going through

a garage and into an alley so that then she can guide him to the house without giving

him her street address. Okay. That seems a little strange. And that's what Dale thinks

too. But on the flip side, like listen, she's a woman meeting a stranger from the internet.

So I mean, at some point I would get it. I mean, I would probably even be this girl.

Like look for that big rock. Go two houses down from that. Get out of your car. Like put

your hands raised. Walk slowly to the corner. And if I like you, then I'll reveal myself.
