But I am pre-recording this episode. And the case that I have for you all today... is so batshit, I don't even know how to put it into words. It is the most ridiculous story I may have ever heard. It is so insane, and some of the people involved in this are truly some of the stupidest yet highly educated people I think I have ever heard of.
This is truly a desperate housewives or more like real housewives situation. And we're going to be talking about a really ruthless harassment campaign that led to a PTA president mom who volunteered tons of her time, was, you know, seen as one of the best people working at this school, and ending up with felony charges. And I am really looking forward to diving into this one because I was just blown away when I heard all the details, and I think you are going to be too. So let's just jump in and start with turning it back to 2010, okay? Kelly Peters, she was in her 40s, living with her husband and her 10-year-old daughter in Irvine, California. Now, Irvine, California seems to be a very idyllic kind of place.
Not much going on. Very, very safe, very cookie cutter neighborhoods. Sort of, you know, the life that you see in the movies when it comes to the California suburbs. The two of them had moved there just before their daughter was born because they liked that it was a safe community and because it had a very highly rated school system. And then Kelly decided to make another change when her daughter was just a couple years old. She decided to become a full-time mom and leave her very high-pressure job as a mortgage loan officer behind. And she was very excited. And when her daughter started attending school at Plaza Vista Elementary, she had time to volunteer there nearly every day. And soon she really became a permanent fixture of the school.
I mean, people loved her there. And over the years, she served as the PTA president and then also ran the after school program. And she enjoyed it so much and people really enjoyed having her there as well. So she decided to go ahead and eventually get her teaching accreditation so that she could eventually just work there as a substitute teacher. And other teachers and people that worked at the school told her, like, yeah, if you do that, we'll definitely hire you as a teacher. It's going to be great. And she was so excited to start working into that next phase of life. But everything about her life and her, you know, idyllic reality of living in Irvine in this perfect school system and being so involved with her child drastically changed on February 17th, 2010.
On that day, like most afternoons, Kelly was overseeing the after-school program as it wrapped up for the day. And as always, Kelly had all the kids line up and walked them out to the front of the school so that she could make sure each kid was picked up by their parent and was, you know, headed into the right place at the end of the school day. And around the same time, a woman named Jill Peters showed up at the front of the school to pick up her six-year-old son. But he wasn't there. So understandably, she starts freaking out, which I totally get. I would be the same way, right? I think any parent would if you showed up to pick your kid up from school and they weren't there.
