Hey, true crime besties. Welcome back to an all new episode of Serialist League. Hey everybody, welcome back to an all new episode of Serialistly with me, Annie Elise. I hope you guys are doing well today. It is like so windy outside right now. I'm wearing my sweatshirt. I'm like freezing cold, even though I have nothing to complain about. It's like 60 degrees here. I'm being such a baby. But anyway, I'm just like in my comfies and I am... I don't even know what to say. This case, I don't even know how to tee it up because I thought I knew where it was going, okay, when I was researching it. And like, even though there were a couple twists along the way, I was like, okay, I like to consider myself like a true crime sleuth.
Like, I can foreshadow who it's going to be or who's involved in this. When I tell you that... at like when I had my big aha moment I was like yeah see I knew it I had a feeling then there was like this whole other twist that came out from like a hard left and I was like what like what people are truly capable of this like it it blows your mind it and it's gonna blow your mind and I as soon as I was researching I was like I need to talk about this case with my true crime besties I need someone to talk about this with besides my sister because it is truly insane and
with a restraining order, stalking, criminal threats, attempted rape, assault with intent to commit rape. She tricked us.
Now, let me set the tone for you, okay? Picture this. You're walking into your garage one night, whether you're coming home from work, from school, whatever it is. And up until now, you've had, you know, a pretty normal day. You're just arriving home. But then a few moments later, out of nowhere, you notice that somebody else is in the garage with you. And they are there because they are planning to attack you. That's what happened to Angela Diaz in 2016 in her home in Anaheim, California, which, not for nothing, that's where I went to high school. It's like a stone throw away from where I live, and it makes this whole case all the more eerier. So she arrives home and gets in the garage and notices that somebody's there to attack her.
Now, after she called the cops and they came to help her, they found her covered in bruises. She had cuts and scratches all over her neck. She had been very badly beaten. And that was just the beginning. Angela told the police that somebody had in fact been harassing her for months. They had been posting ads posing as her online, claiming that she had some sort of rape fantasy. So basically, this other person online had made these fake posts and had invited strangers to come to her home and assault her. And the men who were there to attack her would believe that all of this was just totally consensual, that they were helping her, you know, live out this kinky fantasy that she had. Now, as wild as all of that sounds, Angela knew exactly who was behind all of this, who had been setting her up, making these fake posts online, everything. She also knew why they were doing it. But to explain how she knew all of this, we need to talk a little bit about Angela, who she is and how she got here. Now, Angela was friendly and she was very well put together and worked as a lawyer.
She came across like one of those people who, you know, as soon as you meet them, you want to get to know them. You want to be around them all the time. and Angela was married to a man named Ian Diaz. Now, Ian was a deputy U.S. Marshal, which is a very serious job, okay? I mean, it means that he was responsible for things like enforcing federal laws, tracking down fugitives, handling all sorts of high-stakes situations. It definitely wasn't your normal average 9-to-5 job. It came with a lot of pressure and also a lot of risk, and it definitely isn't a job for the faint of heart. So when Ian met Angela, they hit it off right away. At the time, he was living in a condo that he owned in Anaheim, and things between them moved super quickly. I mean, just a month after they began dating, they ended up getting engaged, and before you know it, Angela had moved in with him into that condo. Then they got married and they started building their lives together.
