In 2002, John (then thirty-one) had been convicted of battery and committing a lewd act on a girl younger than fourteen.
John intercepted and cashed in Debbie’s disability checks for the next seven years. In 1999, he met twenty-one-year-old Polish immigrant Izabela Lewicka online.

He also convinced Izabela to sign a 115-item ‘slave contract’ (a document stating she was giving him full control over her life, including her bank accounts). In the summer of the same year, Izabela disappeared. John’s last victim was a twenty-eight-year-old licensed nurse named Suzette Trouten.
