But before it was pulled, it caught the fancy of Ty Oliver McDowell, a medical technician from Bar Nunn, Wyoming. He emailed a response, assuming he was speaking to the woman pictured with the ad. But according to police, it was actually Stipe pretending to be the woman. And he told McDowell she was looking for someone to fulfill a rape fantasy.

So a few days later, as she was returning home, McDowell attacked her from behind as she was unlocking the door. He shoved her into the house and wrestled her to the kitchen floor. The woman smacked him with a wine rack. So McDowell punched her in the nose.
He then bound and blindfolded her, held a knife to her throat, then raped her with both his penis and a knife sharpener.
McDowell and Stipe exchanged emails after the attack as well. Stipe asked him to provide details of the assault from start to finish.
Stipe, a Marine stationed Twentynine Palms, California, is now charged with conspiracy to commit sexual assault. McDowell, a medical technician, is charged with three counts of first-degree sexual assault.









Didn't this happen on last season of Law and Order: SVU?
Posted 02/09/2010 at 11:20:24 AMI live fairly close to this area and let me tell you, this sickened and disgusted all of us. There are some seriously sick ppl in this world and what a pathetic person to think this up, and what an utterly more pathetic person to actually follow through!!!
Posted 02/09/2010 at 11:49:10 AMYes, this situation has been portrayed on a few different shows. Strange as it sounds must be a common real life occurrence. Sick Fu@k$.
Posted 02/09/2010 at 11:53:23 AMDefinately fucked up!
Posted 02/09/2010 at 12:45:01 PMAnd as bad as it sounds when I read this story I imagine it was my ex this happened to........not to worry though, she's a sick twisted evil person too, karma will probably end up bringing something like this to her one day anyway.
Ryan -- I don't care how evil and twisted your ex is. No one deserves to be raped.
Posted 02/09/2010 at 01:36:53 PMsometimes they do....
Posted 02/09/2010 at 08:36:34 PMYeah. I'm sure that there's at LEAST one person in this world who deserves it. To some degree at least.
Posted 02/09/2010 at 09:31:05 PMnever, ever forget to have a safe word. (PSA voice: the more you know!)
Posted 02/09/2010 at 10:52:23 PMWow talk about a way to get back at an ex thats horrible!! And he raped her with his penis and a knife sharperner wtf? well he'll end up in the right place for rape. He will be the reciever no doubt ( one can only hope)
Posted 02/09/2010 at 11:17:37 PMThere are so many typographical errors and misuses of the language in the comments here that I want to cry. I realize you could not wait a second to act holier-than-Jebidiah, but ppl? oh, and in case you have forgotten the third grade, they are called commas. Hope on board. They are fun for the whole family.
Posted 02/10/2010 at 01:05:11 AMI love it when people bitch about typos and then they themselves make one in the process. Good job, Dick.
Posted 02/10/2010 at 01:10:06 AMDick Shunary,
Yah, I hacte it wehn pelole miss spel words an cant put comas in.
Posted 02/10/2010 at 01:20:02 AMAdolf, you think some people deserve to be raped? Is that the hitler in your talking?
Posted 02/10/2010 at 03:59:14 AMAdolf commented that some people deserve to be raped. Maybe he is one of those? ;-)
Posted 02/10/2010 at 04:06:24 AMmcr my thoughts exactly @ Dick way to prove a point by the way its spelled people not ppl :) I also always thought it was hop on board not hope on board but maybe thats just me.
Posted 02/10/2010 at 01:01:49 PMbrilliant.. that man is an innovator.
Posted 02/10/2010 at 07:45:51 PMI used to live in Casper, WY and I worked with Ty for 3 years. He seemed like a nice guy. Until this happened. It amazes me that a married, church-going man with 2 small children is capable of something so twisted. It sickens all of us. I read that at the arraignment on the 9th he pled "not guilty". So now, the court system can drag people out of their jobs to sit on a jury, listen to the testimonies and still give him life in prison where he belongs. He's already admitted that he did it. I'm guessing he pled to "not guilty by reason of extreme stupidity". I'm also guessing his parents are none to happy with him, because nobody's bothered to bail him outof jail since December when this happened. His wife packed up the kids the next day and left town. Smart woman.
Posted 02/12/2010 at 07:39:34 AMI don't think the use of "ppl" is inappropriate since this is a texting community. But does anyone find it interesting that Stipe and McDowell exchanged emails discussing all aspects of the assault, yet earlier in the article Stipe says he thought he was communicating with the ex and was fulfilling her fantasy? That should have clued him in. Does anyone else agree?
Posted 02/12/2010 at 06:15:42 PM@ daisy I was actually being sarcastic about the whole ppl vs. people thing I do it myself sometime however the guy was commenting on people's grammar and typo's and made SEVERAl of his own. ABout what you said I thought the exact same thing at first it was like the guy thought he was actually talking to the girl, then the detail's got sketchy as to whether or not they "cooked" this up amongst the two of them (Stipe and McDowell)
Posted 02/12/2010 at 06:24:12 PMHere is the link to the most recent news article. Maybe this will clear things up a little bit for those having trouble following the sequence of events.

Posted 02/12/2010 at 07:02:40 PMI'm not posting that link to be rude...it just explains things better :O)
Posted 02/12/2010 at 07:07:09 PMI had forgotten that another male had been seen leaving the residence. The fact that PPL, *lol* or several people would even respond to that kind of post escapes me! What happened to the good guys???? How many individuals would even take that kind of post seriously???
