What events led to Ezra McCandless's initial attack claim?
So in the middle of nowhere, a woman shows up to a house and she starts beating on the front door and yelling for help. And she's been beaten up and stabbed and she's got no shoes on. So this farmer guy answers the door and the woman tells him that she was just attacked, but she also claims that she can't remember what happened and that she can't remember her own name.
Now the woman, her name's Ezra, and Ezra is 19, living in Wisconsin, and Ezra has a problem. She's pregnant, and I guess she and her boyfriend don't really know if they're ready to be parents. So one day in 2017, she decides that she's going to go to the local clinic and, you know, get rid of it. Now, I'm not 100% sure if it's both she and her boyfriend's decision or what, but that's what Ezra does. She goes and has the procedure. Now, Ezra's boyfriend is this guy, Jason. And Jason, he's a bit older than her. She is 19, and he's 33. But whatever, they're gonna try and make it work, I guess. Problem is, it's not really working. Things aren't going so great between them. And one day, that same year, Ezra is chilling at a local coffee shop, and there she meets this barista, Alex.
How did Ezra's relationships influence her actions?
And Ezra and Alex, they become friends, and they hang out, and then Jason becomes friends with Alex too, and so the three of them all start hanging out together. And soon enough Ezra and Alex they start hooking up lowkey and smashing a bunch behind Jason's back. But then Jason catches on. About 8 months into his relationship with Ezra he's going through her phone one day and he finds all these text messages between her and Alex and basically the whole affair blows up in Ezra's face. So now what's she going to do? Well, after all that, she kind of just says, fuck it. And she breaks up with both Jason and Alex. However, after a while, she starts to regret that decision. Because even though she broke up with both of them, she's still not over Jason specifically.
And she wants to get back together with him. Here's the thing though, at some point she gets drunk and smashes with one of Jason's friends, then she reports that friend to the police for SA. But after all that, it actually turns out that the friend did not SA her, so police end up dropping the case. Now, during all this legal drama, Ezra is still desperate to get back with Jason. But of course, by this point, Jason, he's not really interested in her at all. I mean, why would he be?
What was Ezra's plan after breaking up with Jason and Alex?
She slept with Alex and she also slept with his other friend. Regardless, Ezra, she's not trying to hear all this rejection. She's doing anything she can to reach Jason. But she just can't get through to him. Like she's blown up his phone with hundreds of text messages. She's begging him to take her back. She's sending him, I guess, journal entries that indicate how much she wants to get back together with him. She's even messaging Alex a ton and begging him to help her get back together with Jason. But I guess Alex is like, no, you're crazy. So nothing is working. And now Ezra's got to come up with a new plan to get Jason to take her back. She wants to make sure that he knows that her fling with Alex meant absolutely nothing.
So she decides to make it look like Alex is a really bad guy who tried to essay her. And not only that, but she also plans to murder him. So one day in 2018, Jason is at that local coffee shop that they like to hang out at, and out of nowhere, Ezra shows up.
What happened during the confrontation between Ezra and Alex?
And she tells him that she's about to swing by Alex's place, and she says that she's going to return some items that she has of his, but the thing is, Jason notices that she's acting really strange, and he gets a really bad feeling. So when Ezra leaves the coffee shop to drive to Alex's house, Jason low-key follows her on his bike. So then Ezra gets to Alex's house and she goes inside and then Jason gets there and he's not sure what to do or what's going on. So he just lets himself inside Alex's house as well. And there he sees Alex and Ezra talking and there's like nothing contentious going on. They aren't like fighting or anything.
