Just a few weeks short of Halloween in 1996, 35-year-old
Sharon Lopatka left her home in Maryland USA, leaving her
husband a note which simply read:
If my body is never retrieved, don't worry: know that
I'm at peace
Lopatka had found herself going to some dark corners of the
internet, meeting a man named Robert "Bobby" Glass and
requesting the unthinkable.
She had shared with Glass a sexual fantasy of meeting a man and
being "tortured until death".
Her body was found soon after she left her home, with Glass
having strangled her to death (seemingly with her consent).
Glass ultimately pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter and
was sentenced to just over six years'imprisonment.
