All You Need To Know About Angela Connell Diaz

As per reports, Angela Connell met US Deputy Marshal Ian Diaz in Anaheim. Things moved fast between them. In just a few weeks, Ian asked her to marry him. Angela soon moved into his condominium. After the wedding, Angela said she was pregnant with twins. Later, officials learned the pregnancy was made up.

Prosecutors discovered Angela had done many other dishonest things. She lied about having cervical cancer, pretended to be a lawyer, created fake notes from doctors and more.

The biggest problem came in 2016. Ian and Angela told police they received scary emails from someone using the name “Lilithistruth”. The messages threatened Angela and her “unborn babies”. The couple blamed Michelle Hadley, Ian Diaz’s ex, for the threats. Police arrested Michelle, and she faced charges that could have put her in prison for the rest of her life.

However, later it was reported that the evidence did not point to Michelle. Instead, it led back to Angela. Federal prosecutors said Angela helped create the threatening messages to frame Michelle. They used secret email accounts, VPN services, and protected chat apps to carry out the plan. The language in the emails became more extreme to convince officers that Michelle was a real threat.

Ian first tried to stay out of the trouble. He ended the marriage and said Angela was the only one behind all this drama. Later, federal prosecutors showed that Ian helped plan it.
