Jake Haendel

There were already concerns about Jake's stash before his diagnosis. Something seemed off. Did it taste strange because he was getting sick? An early symptom no one recognized? But the food he ate tasted normal. And the heroin he smoked of Adrian's after telling her his was off tasted normal.

And then the heroin Adrian brought him in the hospital when he was being diagnosed with acute toxic progressive leukoencephalopathy also tasted normal. Whatever was wrong, it seemed specific to his cut, the one he kept at home. Once admitted to the hospital, Jake was upfront about his drug use.

Jake recalls a conversation about his heroin being brought in for testing, but Jake also recalls that that sample was never brought in. it wasn't until he began recovering that the pieces started to fall into place. Could it be possible, however unthinkable, that his heroine had been tampered with? People like Justin dismissed this idea as absurd, and Jake himself wasn't sure.

He never spoke about it publicly, not in his Reddit posts, podcast interviews, or news articles. Even he doubted his own thoughts. Was he just bitter? Was his mind reaching for answers after surviving the impossible? A man with a new body, a new perspective, yet still searching for the why. But then came the messages from this man on Facebook Messenger. And then the call. Unprompted. Unexpected.

Yet confirming Jake's deepest suspicions.

I asked Justin if he thought that this supposed ex-boyfriend was becoming suspicious that perhaps the call was being recorded.

It wasn't recorded, but there were the Facebook messages. Written evidence of another man's identical theory.

The call had ended, but for Jake and Justin, the conversation wasn't over.

So Jake types out a message on Facebook Messenger. Jake writes, Dude, I can't stop thinking about the poisoning thing. Like, did she ever hint at the fact that she actually did that? The response says, Yeah, she joked about it actually. Said you were practiced leading to and for my demise, but also showed disdain for the topic later and decided not to joke about it. What do you think?

Were there any red flags? And then this man pivots the conversation to drug use.
