years later and the law of man prevailed or so it seemed. the lawyers hashed out a compromise. we ended up getting a settlement agreement. ian and michelle signed it in november 2015. the deal allowed ian to stay in the condo, but he had six months to get his own mortgage. failing that, he would have to sell the condo and split any profits with michelle. michelle stood to lose most of her down payment, about $10,000, but she said it was worth it. i moved on with my life completely. 100% completely. i actually had started dating again. this toothache of a problem with the condo but not a major part of your life? and once the settlement agreement was signed it was a waiting game. she went back to school, started an mba program at chapman university. ian too moved on quickly, married a woman named angela, but the nagging condo issue still wasn t resolved and the six-month deadline was
narrator: june 2016. michelle hadley was out on bail, living with her parents. anaheim police suspected michelle sent threatening e-mails to her ex-boyfriend ian and his pregnant wife angela, even though on its face it didn t make much sense. a young woman who lived an exemplary life, good student, trying to get an mba. there s two sides to every person and all we re seeing is the evidence that looks clear that everything is originating from michelle hadley. narrator: but the case against michelle went way beyond threatening e-mails. police had evidence she was up to something much more sinister, something stomach churning. it began in early june, about the same time as the deadline on the condo was approaching.
them. but in october 2017 she changed her plea to guilty. sat before a judge to learn her fate. the court will sentence you to state prison for a period of 5 years. angela s defense attorney believes ian deserves a closer look. the failure to investigate adequately the role of ian diaz in it is a serious concern. we reached out to ian hoping to speak to him but got no response. is he in on this thing? there s no evidence at this point that he is. everything points to her. when we sat down with her, michelle s personal struggle was far from over, a struggle to rekindle the spirit of an innocent young woman whose life was changed forever by something diabolical. i don t think there s anything more evil than finding a girl who believes in the best in humanity and who loves other
but the deeper they looked, the more police zeroed in on the woman ian married and all the bizarre goings on swirling around her. one that stood out was angela s report that someone tried to rape her in the garage of the condo. you have to go to an alley to get to the garage and the garage doesn t have an address on it. so you re wondering how this allege assailant found her. that is a question but also there were surveillance cameras in the area. and presumably would show someone trying to inter. you didn t have that. you start questioning about whether this happened and the story about how she bought the guy off and compare that to the rather light jainjuries she was showing it started looking sketchy. angela seemed to have a troubling history. we started seeing some of the fraudulent things that she s been involved in. some bad checks.
narrator: by june 1, 2016, tension over the anaheim condo michelle hady and ian diaz shared was starting to peak. the deadline was fast approaching, ian needed to take over the mortgage or sell the condo and that s when odd events began to unfold. michelle s father michael was at work. his youngest daughter was at their home in ontario. i get a phone call from the youngest daughter saying, hey, somebody is beating on the door. i said look outside. is there a police car? she said, yeah, there s two of them. i said, well, open the door, because it scared her i guess. a woman throws down a restraining order. here, you ve been served kind of thing? yeah, with the police, two officers there. it is from angela diaz.
