William Melchert-Dinkel
William Melchert-Dinkel has been described as a loving husband and a wonderful father to two teenage daughters, as well as a churchgoer, but police allege that he led a double life — one as the loving family man described above, and a second, dark and fiendish life as a ghoulish man who has for years harbored a suicide fetish and got his kicks by convincing vulnerable people to take their own lives in front of him via the Internet and a webcam. Police now allege that he spent several years posing as various women in their twenties, trawling the Internet for his victims. Detectives believe he may have contacted more than 100 people around the world in efforts to persuade them to kill themselves, and believe at least five complied. Police further allege that he has admitted to having been involved in those five deaths, including those of Mark Drybrough and Nadia Kajouji.
Für die Forscher hat sich die Forscher deutlich ersichtlich geworden, dass Melchert-Dondls Modus Operandi vorgeben sollte, eine junge und mitfühlende Krankenschwester zu sein, die die Internet-Chatrooms besucht hat, um von depressiven, verletzlichen Menschen zu profitieren und sich selbst vorzubereiten.
Die Behörden der Vereinigten Staaten sagten, Melchert gab der Polizei zu, dass er Dutzende von Menschen, Selbstmord zu begehen, ermutigt und seine Handlungen als die Emotion der Verfolgung beschrieben.
