#9- Lauren Marie Dooley On September the 28th of 2022,
Lauren Marie Dooley tortured a 21-year-old man she’d met on Tinder after restraining him with
duct tape in her Colorado apartment. The victim’s name was redacted from the affidavit released to
the public in order to preserve his privacy. He indicated that he and 22-year-old Dooley
had been intimate with one another in the moments before she tied him up to her bed. He reluctantly
consented, but the situation quickly escalated to violence. Once he was restrained, Dooley began
slashing him with a knife, and choked him when he protested. Following the assault, she reportedly
ordered food, threatening to kill her victim if he attempted to alert the delivery driver.
After Dooley fell asleep, the man managed to break free from his restraints and fled the apartment,
fully naked. His captor chased after him and concerned neighbors called 911. When the police
arrived at the scene, they discovered bloody rags and sheets, as well as the knife she’d used
during the attack. The victim was taken to the hospital and treated for his non-life-threatening
injuries while Dooley was taken into custody and charged with second-degree kidnapping and assault.
#8-Asherai Gadsden A 21-year-old South Carolina resident,
participated in the murder of Alan Philpeon Johnson III following a robbery gone wrong
on January the 9th of 2022. Asherai Gadsden had initially met the 24-year-old victim on Tinder.
She formulated a plot to trick the young man into allowing her into his house, along with her
accomplices Joshua Latray Mack, aged 28, and Zora Simone Henderson, aged 19. The ill intentioned
trio eventually killed the homeowner, after which a heavily intoxicated Gadsden contacted the police
and waited for them in the driveway. She led them into the victim’s apartment, where officers came
upon Johnson’s lifeless body. An autopsy would later reveal that he’d been shot four times during
the home invasion. Officers arrested Gadsden, who initially claimed that she’d had nothing to
do with the crime. During questioning, she told detectives that she’d heard a gunshot
while in the bathroom and rushed into the living room to discover her date lying unresponsive on
the ground. However, detectives discovered deleted messages in the suspect’s cell phone
that implicated her involvement. Gadsden finally confessed to plotting the robbery, but claimed
that Mack had been the one to shoot Johnson after the latter had attempted to disarm him.
#7-Luis Servondo Almanza, Aaronanna Morning Martinez, and Sierra Petit
In September of 2021, an unidentified man was held hostage for several hours by Luis
Servondo Almanza, Aaronanna Morning Martinez, and Sierra Petit following an ill-fated Tinder
date. The trio, aged between 19 and 26 at the time, invited the victim to a house party in
Oklahoma City. After he asked to be paid back for the drinks he’d purchased for the group,
tensions escalated and violence ensued. Almanza, Martinez, and Petit held the man captive,
threatening him with a 12-gauge shotgun and a knife. He was forced into a car, and the
suspects drove him to several stores, using his bank cards to purchase various items, including
clothes. They also allegedly destroyed the man’s phone in order to keep him from calling for
help. Before eventually releasing him, the three suspects threatened to harm him and his family if
he contacted the authorities. The victim decided to report the incident nonetheless. The police
subsequently arrested Almanza, Martinez, and Petit on charges of kidnapping and aggravated robbery.

woman attending university in the Netherlands, was murdered by a Tinder date-turned-stalker,
on March the 8th of 2022. Oort, who was born to a Dutch father, had traveled from Massachusetts
to Leeuwarden in 2020, in order to pursue her studies. She went on several dates with
a 27-year-old man identified only as Thomas R, whom she’d met on the dating app, before
eventually deciding to rekindle her relationship with ex-boyfriend Michael van der Waal. Refusing
to accept the young woman’s rejection, Thomas tracked her down, placed a GPS device on her bike,
and broke into her apartment. He proceeded to fatally stab Oort, also wounding two other men
who were at the house at the time of the attack. Thomas fled the scene in the aftermath, but was
later turned in to the authorities by his parents. #5-Jordan Cobbold
Jordan Cobbold, a 21-year-old resident of Suffolk, England, trashed Alisha Moy’s apartment after she
ended their Tinder romance on April the 9th of 2021. The couple had been dating for a month
when Moy, aged 20 at the time, decided that they weren’t a good match. Cobbold became irate, and
took the young woman’s spare key in retaliation. Moy explained the breakup by expressing her belief
that he’d grown “too intense and needy.” After she ended their relationship over text message,
Cobbold blocked her number and waited until she left for work to enter her apartment. The
scorned lover poured beans and spaghetti into her shoes, painted the walls with condiments
and covered the vacuum cleaner with cooking sauce. Cobbold also severed cables on each
of Moy’s kitchen appliances, turned off the refrigerator’s power, and threw cooking oil on
the floor. The young man was arrested after his ex contacted the authorities about his
infantile actions. In January of 2022, he accepted a plea deal in connection to charges of criminal
damage and burglary. Cobbold was consequently ordered to serve 180 hours of community service,
as well as two-years of probation. He was also forced to pay his victim $1,750 in restitution,
and was forbidden from making any form of contact with Moy for five years.

Las Vegas hotel. The woman, whose identity wasn’t made public, agreed to a meet-up with Stuckey and
got into his car, at which point he locked the doors and allegedly became violent. The man
forced his victim into the backseat, demanding she perform intimate acts while threatening her with a
firearm. During the course of the altercation, the woman somehow managed to use her phone to
contact a friend, who helped her escape from the assailant’s vehicle. Stuckey then sped away from
the scene, hitting two other cars in the process. The two women contacted the authorities, providing
them with Stuckey’s license plate number, which eventually led to his arrest. He was charged with
kidnapping and his bail was set at $10,000. #3- Sierra Wayman

over Tinder, secretly plotting to extort money from him. On September the 8th of 2020,
Wayman invited Browning over to her house. Minutes after he arrived,
two strangers knocked on the door. One of them was later identified as 19-year-old Phillip Snyder,
while the second man wasn’t identified to the public. They attempted to assault Browning,
who was carrying a weapon, and shot at his attackers in self-defense. Police subsequently
arrived at the scene, after having been contacted by Browning himself, and the two assailants were
taken to the ER with non-fatal gunshot wounds. 19-year-old Wayman was taken to the Kenton County
Jail on robbery charges. Her bond was set at $5,000 by the judge presiding over her case.
#2-Joshua Hamblett, Sashuana Wilkins and Keagan Prophete
In 2019, 23-year-olds Joshua Hamblett and Sashuana Wilkins, along with 19-year-old Keagan Prophete,
were arrested in Ontario, Canada, after attempting to traffic a woman they’d met on Tinder. The
woman, who chose to remain anonymous, told the police that she’d agreed to meet one of the
suspects in a hotel room, but the man became violent once they were alone. It’s suspected
that Prophete was the individual in charge of making initial contact with the victim,
although his accomplices arrived at the hotel room shortly thereafter. After taking lewd pictures of
the woman and uploading them online, the trio offered her services on the ad listing site
Leolist. Hamblett, Wilkins, and Prophete pressured her into performing escort services by threatening
her family if she refused. They also confiscated the money she received during her appointments.
The two 23-year-olds were arrested on December the 1st of 2019, while Prophete managed to
elude capture until the 18th. They were each charged with over a dozen combined offenses,
including assault, making threats, and human trafficking. Police suspected the group of
targeting other women with similar schemes and urged any of their past victims to come forward.
#1- Jose Sandoval Jaquez and Crystal Hulsey Jose Sandoval Jaquez, 32, and Crystal Hulsey,
33, were accused of catfishing a man on Tinder in order to carry out a robbery on September the
17th of 2022. When the unnamed victim showed up for a date with a woman he knew only as
Sonya at a hotel room in Phoenix, Arizona, the two suspects allegedly held him at gunpoint,
demanding his cellphone and bank account information. The man was then forced to
drive his assailants to a nearby bank, where he withdrew $900 from his account.
Jaquez and Hulsey subsequently took off on their own and managed to withdraw $3,000 more before the
bank cards were reported stolen and deactivated. Detectives assigned to the case discovered that
the couple had booked the hotel room using their real names, leading to their arrest
on September the 28th. The suspects led police on a high-speed chase through several cities,
driving on the wrong side of the road and attempting to carjack another vehicle before
finally being apprehended. They were indicted for assault and armed robbery with a deadly weapon, as
well as several other charges, as they awaited the continuation of their case’s legal proceedings.
