He Called Her 52 Times in One Night. Hours Later, He Fired Through Her Bedroom Wall

Sixteen-year-old cheerleader Emma Walker spent her final 48 hours trapped in a terrifying real-life thriller. It started with anonymous texts claiming her ex-boyfriend had been kidnapped, leading her to find him mysteriously "dumped" on the side of the road. The next morning, a figure dressed completely in black stalked outside her house, banging on her doors and ringing the bell while she was home alone. Terrified and believing her life was in danger, she reached out to the one person she thought could protect her: the very same ex-boyfriend.

But Riley Gaul wasn't the victim, he was the one orchestrating the terror. Unable to handle their breakup, the college football player faked his own abduction and dressed in black to scare Emma, hoping to play the hero so she would need him again. When she finally blocked his number after he called her 52 times in a single night, he stole his grandfather's gun. Under the cover of darkness, he stood outside her house and fired directly through her bedroom wall, aligning his shots perfectly with where he knew she slept.

When police zeroed in on the controlling ex, two of his own teenage friends made a brave and incredibly dangerous choice: they wore a secret wire into his car to help detectives recover the weapon. In court, his defense tried to argue that he was just mimicking a video game to "scare" her, but a jury saw through the elaborate lies. He was convicted of first-degree premeditated homicide and sentenced to life in prison. How could someone claim to love a girl while spending days plotting to terrorize her?
