The Twisted Case Behind 'A Toxic Love Story' And Where Michelle Hadley, Ian Diaz And Angela Connell Are Now

The Twisted Case Behind 'A Toxic Love Story' And Where Michelle Hadley, Ian Diaz And Angela Connell Are Now explains how Netflix’s new true-crime documentary details a case that prosecutors and investigators say was orchestrated by the couple accusing the victim. The film, currently No. 1 on Netflix, focuses on Michelle Hadley, a California woman who spent 88 days in jail in 2016 for a crime she claimed she didn’t commit. It alleges that her ex-fiancé, then-Deputy U.S. Marshal Ian Diaz, and his wife Angela Connell accused Hadley of sending threatening emails under the alias “Lilithistruth” and placing fake Craigslist ads tied to alleged rape fantasies. The relationship included a condo in Anaheim near Disneyland, a breakup in August 2015, and Connell reporting cyberstalking in June 2016. Diaz and Connell’s claims were bolstered by physical evidence described in a district attorney release, while Hadley later said she sent angry emails after leaving the condo.
