18
00:01:04.760 --> 00:01:09.480
Stalker, why did you text them sixty five thousand times?
19
00:01:10.359 --> 00:01:12.640
Because it made me find out all my information?
20
00:01:13.439 --> 00:01:14.599
Are you a crazy person?
21
00:01:14.799 --> 00:01:15.239
No?
22
00:01:15.319 --> 00:01:16.560
Tell us? Who are you like?
23
00:01:17.280 --> 00:01:18.799
I'm the person that discovered love.
24
00:01:26.680 --> 00:01:30.400
There's a quote that is often misattributed to ask Wild.
25
00:01:31.439 --> 00:01:35.480
It goes something like everything in the world is about sex,
26
00:01:35.959 --> 00:01:40.959
except sex. Sex is about power. Have you ever wondered
27
00:01:41.079 --> 00:01:43.519
how much sex the average American has?
28
00:01:43.920 --> 00:01:44.120
Well?
29
00:01:44.120 --> 00:01:47.879
In twenty twenty one, the Center for Researching and Understanding
30
00:01:47.920 --> 00:01:51.959
Sexual Health surveyed over six hundred people, and they found
31
00:01:51.959 --> 00:01:55.159
that seventy percent of adults are having sex at least
32
00:01:55.200 --> 00:01:58.959
once per month. And what is the most common way
33
00:01:59.120 --> 00:02:02.120
to meet people? In this day and age? For better
34
00:02:02.239 --> 00:02:05.840
or worse, we have surrendered much of our courtship to
35
00:02:05.879 --> 00:02:09.639
the digital realm. At least in the developed world, Three
36
00:02:09.719 --> 00:02:12.360
in ten US adults say they've used a dating app
37
00:02:12.439 --> 00:02:15.879
or website. The top place to find a date, according
38
00:02:15.919 --> 00:02:20.360
to survey respondents, was a dating app, followed then by
39
00:02:20.400 --> 00:02:23.639
a friend, and then further down a concert or a festival.
40
00:02:24.319 --> 00:02:27.360
Dating apps are here, and they appear to be here
41
00:02:27.520 --> 00:02:31.520
to stay, at least for the foreseeable future. The subject
42
00:02:31.560 --> 00:02:35.840
of today's story, Jacqueline, eighties, turned to dating apps to
43
00:02:35.919 --> 00:02:39.120
find a partner. Jacqueline didn't use one of the more
44
00:02:39.159 --> 00:02:44.439
popular dating apps Tender or Okay, Cupid or Bumble. She
45
00:02:44.680 --> 00:02:49.800
used a rather niche app, one called Luxy. Luxy brands
46
00:02:49.800 --> 00:02:54.680
itself as an elite and millionaire dating site. Join luxy
47
00:02:54.759 --> 00:02:59.759
dating for free and meet rich, successful and attractive millionaires
48
00:02:59.840 --> 00:03:04.439
in this upscale community. Jacqueline was clearly searching for an
49
00:03:04.479 --> 00:03:09.439
aristocrat type, but it appears she herself wasn't exactly destitute.
50
00:03:09.719 --> 00:03:12.360
She was thirty one years old, and although we don't
51
00:03:12.400 --> 00:03:15.479
know much about her personal life, she appears to be
52
00:03:15.520 --> 00:03:19.400
a fairly regular middle class person. She actually did score
53
00:03:19.479 --> 00:03:22.919
a one time date with a big wig ceo. In
54
00:03:22.960 --> 00:03:26.560
an interview after her arrest, Jacqueline refers to him as
55
00:03:26.599 --> 00:03:31.800
Isaac Ben Shabbat, CEO of a company called Secret, which
56
00:03:31.800 --> 00:03:35.960
appears to specialize in making skin cream. This particular case
57
00:03:36.120 --> 00:03:41.000
is tough to pin down exact details, because, as anyone
58
00:03:41.039 --> 00:03:45.039
who's ever seriously researched a news story will quickly find out,
59
00:03:45.439 --> 00:03:48.840
news science often get things wrong. We'll touch on that
60
00:03:48.919 --> 00:03:52.120
more in a bit. According to the public record and
61
00:03:52.240 --> 00:03:56.240
to Isaac, the two only went on one date. According
62
00:03:56.240 --> 00:03:59.479
to other sources they were much more familiar than that,
63
00:04:00.240 --> 00:04:02.919
But for now we'll stick with a public record, which
64
00:04:03.000 --> 00:04:06.639
essentially tells us that that one date was apparently all
65
00:04:06.719 --> 00:04:09.400
that Luxey was good for. By the end of it,
66
00:04:09.680 --> 00:04:13.879
two conclusions had been reached. Jacqueline had concluded that Isaac
67
00:04:14.199 --> 00:04:18.240
was indeed her soulmate, which is not something that anyone
68
00:04:18.319 --> 00:04:21.279
really wants to hear after a first date, but okay.
69
00:04:21.720 --> 00:04:25.120
According to a study done by Forbes Health, which pulled
70
00:04:25.160 --> 00:04:29.240
five thousand US respondents three and ten, found the best
71
00:04:29.279 --> 00:04:31.439
time to tell a partner that you love them was
72
00:04:31.480 --> 00:04:35.439
around four to six months, not exactly the one date
73
00:04:35.560 --> 00:04:39.519
benchmark that Jacqueline had chose. Isaac, on the other hand,
74
00:04:39.600 --> 00:04:43.439
had determined that their relationship had concluded, and he stated
75
00:04:43.600 --> 00:04:45.959
in no uncertain terms that he would not be seeing
76
00:04:46.040 --> 00:04:51.040
Jacqueline again. As it turns out, they were both wrong. Now,
77
00:04:51.040 --> 00:04:55.720
Isaac was decidedly not Jacqueline's soulmate, but Jacqueline was far
78
00:04:55.879 --> 00:04:59.399
from exiting Isaac's life. She would be back for her
79
00:04:59.439 --> 00:05:06.000
soulmate simply because, in her mind, fate demanded it. Here's
80
00:05:06.000 --> 00:05:09.399
where the events of our story gets a little bit foggy.
81
00:05:10.360 --> 00:05:13.000
It was initially stated by news outlets all over the
82
00:05:13.120 --> 00:05:16.920
US that Jacqueline had sent Isaac in excess of sixty
83
00:05:16.959 --> 00:05:22.079
five thousand text messages over ten months, which sounds absolutely
84
00:05:22.240 --> 00:05:27.279
insane because it is. But later news sites began reporting
85
00:05:27.319 --> 00:05:30.120
that it was more like one hundred and sixty thousand
86
00:05:30.120 --> 00:05:35.040
text messages over ten months, which is still insane. To
87
00:05:35.079 --> 00:05:38.920
break that down, that's something like five hundred text messages
88
00:05:38.959 --> 00:05:42.399
a day. To put that another way, it's about one
89
00:05:42.519 --> 00:05:46.079
text every three minutes, every single day for ten months.
90
00:05:46.720 --> 00:05:51.199
Is that number correct? Honestly, how can that number be correct?
91
00:05:51.439 --> 00:05:56.079
That's an unfathomable level of tenacity. But when you hear
92
00:05:56.199 --> 00:06:00.199
Jacqueline speak, which we will in a few moments, you
93
00:06:00.279 --> 00:06:05.279
begin to think maybe it's true. Jacqueline's reasoning for the
94
00:06:05.319 --> 00:06:10.319
excessive texting was that she loved Isaac. But as it happens,
95
00:06:10.360 --> 00:06:14.639
of the messages that we've seen, Jacqueline wasn't exactly filling
96
00:06:14.680 --> 00:06:18.600
Isaac's phone with sentiments of puppy love. Rather, they're full
97
00:06:18.639 --> 00:06:22.040
of threats, and not the normal I'm gonna slash your
98
00:06:22.079 --> 00:06:26.319
tires or something of that sort. What Jacqueline sent was
99
00:06:26.399 --> 00:06:33.319
some seriously frightening stuff. How much do you value your heart? Yes,
100
00:06:33.439 --> 00:06:37.680
you're beating heart. How much do you value your skin?
101
00:06:38.439 --> 00:06:42.480
I ask only because a few of Jacqueline's threats included
102
00:06:42.680 --> 00:06:47.319
the following one threatening to remove the skin from Isaac's
103
00:06:47.319 --> 00:06:52.600
fascia two to remove his fasia from his muscles, three
104
00:06:53.000 --> 00:06:57.040
to remove all his fat and vital organs. Four to
105
00:06:57.120 --> 00:07:01.759
remove his entire circulatory system. Five to wear his fascia,
106
00:07:02.639 --> 00:07:06.439
six to wear his skull like a hat, seven to
107
00:07:06.480 --> 00:07:11.040
wear his hands, eight to wear his feet, nine to
108
00:07:11.079 --> 00:07:14.680
cut out his heart, ten to bathe in his blood,
109
00:07:15.360 --> 00:07:18.439
eleven to turn his kidneys into sushi and use his
110
00:07:18.439 --> 00:07:22.879
finger bones as chopsticks in twelve to have him taxidermied.
111
00:07:23.879 --> 00:07:26.639
I think you get the point. These were not run
112
00:07:26.680 --> 00:07:29.639
of the mill threats. They were the ravings of someone
113
00:07:29.639 --> 00:07:32.959
who is deeply psychotic. You know you're dealing with a
114
00:07:33.000 --> 00:07:37.120
special kind of disturbed individual when their promises of bathing
115
00:07:37.199 --> 00:07:42.720
in your blood are the least bizarre of their desires. Stalkers, murderers,
116
00:07:43.000 --> 00:07:46.240
violent psychopaths. These aren't the only people who can have
117
00:07:46.319 --> 00:07:50.639
violent urges. Most people can understand, or at least comprehend,
118
00:07:50.920 --> 00:07:55.680
doing something that we might consider gruesome. By and large,
119
00:07:55.680 --> 00:07:59.120
we possess an ambition, and therefore don't act on these urges.
120
00:07:59.560 --> 00:08:03.240
Take time to think things through, consider the consequences, and
121
00:08:03.600 --> 00:08:07.519
come to our senses. But the capacity for brutality lives
122
00:08:07.639 --> 00:08:10.639
within each and every one of us. We can feign
123
00:08:10.680 --> 00:08:14.199
total bewilderment and violent news stories all we like, but
124
00:08:14.319 --> 00:08:18.279
some part of us can at least sometimes empathize with
125
00:08:18.360 --> 00:08:21.839
the allure of giving in to a violent outburst. There
126
00:08:21.920 --> 00:08:25.800
is hardly ever a positive outcome when we act on rage,
127
00:08:26.240 --> 00:08:29.439
but it is an emotion that most people can understand,
128
00:08:30.079 --> 00:08:33.960
and this is what makes jacqueline story so bewildering. It's
129
00:08:34.039 --> 00:08:37.440
not her desire to kill the subject of her unrequited love,
130
00:08:38.120 --> 00:08:41.279
or even her desire to kill him violently. That's a
131
00:08:41.360 --> 00:08:45.320
tale as old as time. Happens every day, barely remarkable
132
00:08:45.440 --> 00:08:48.759
given the sheer prevalence of unspeakable horror taking place at
133
00:08:48.799 --> 00:08:52.679
any given point in human history. The unique aspect of
134
00:08:52.720 --> 00:08:57.360
this case is jacqueline seemingly total lack of rage. She
135
00:08:57.480 --> 00:09:01.759
doesn't come across as angry, her demeanor almost gentle as
136
00:09:01.759 --> 00:09:05.600
she promises to commit unspeakable horrors. Her text messages make
137
00:09:05.639 --> 00:09:09.960
her seem almost giddy, following up murderous intentions with excessive
138
00:09:10.039 --> 00:09:15.240
uses of lol and emojis. Were befuddled even further by
139
00:09:15.320 --> 00:09:18.639
how she wanted to kill Isaac. It's the smallest details
140
00:09:18.639 --> 00:09:22.480
that elevate this story from simply macabre to downray shocking.
141
00:09:23.159 --> 00:09:26.960
The sheer anatomical competence of this woman promising to remove
142
00:09:27.000 --> 00:09:30.879
the skin from a fascia, promising to remove the entire
143
00:09:31.000 --> 00:09:36.240
circulatory system, Jeffrey Dahmer himself would have grinned in appreciation
144
00:09:37.360 --> 00:09:41.440
humor me for one moment, because the removal of someone's
145
00:09:41.440 --> 00:09:44.919
circulatory system is truly a standout. If you're familiar with
146
00:09:45.039 --> 00:09:49.320
human anatomy so much that it crosses the line from
147
00:09:49.519 --> 00:09:56.080
horrific to almost comical, Removing someone's entire circulatory system would
148
00:09:56.120 --> 00:10:01.279
not only be complicated, but nearly impossible. Your circulatory system
149
00:10:01.480 --> 00:10:05.039
is far more complex than something like the wires behind
150
00:10:05.080 --> 00:10:09.440
a an old fashioned television set. It's not even close
151
00:10:09.519 --> 00:10:14.320
to something like assembling and disassembling a computer. It's more
152
00:10:14.360 --> 00:10:17.559
complex than most of us are even capable of comprehending,
153
00:10:17.960 --> 00:10:22.759
containing capillaries, blood vessels, veins, and arteries. The average human
154
00:10:22.840 --> 00:10:27.279
has around ten billion capillaries in their body. That's billion.
155
00:10:27.600 --> 00:10:28.000
With a b.
156
00:10:29.480 --> 00:10:33.840
Intrusive thoughts, call of the void, imp of the perverse.
157
00:10:34.600 --> 00:10:39.000
These unwanted images and scenarios have several names, but much
158
00:10:39.120 --> 00:10:43.600
like rage, there's something of a universal human experience, and
159
00:10:43.960 --> 00:10:48.879
much like rage, if we're introspective and honest, enough, they're
160
00:10:48.960 --> 00:10:54.600
also something of a universal human experience. Equally universal is
161
00:10:54.639 --> 00:10:57.399
the innate knowledge that it's better to keep such thoughts
162
00:10:57.480 --> 00:11:02.240
to yourself or at least perhaps your close friends or
163
00:11:02.279 --> 00:11:07.000
your therapist, and if those thoughts become intense or frequent enough,
164
00:11:07.600 --> 00:11:11.039
it might be time to seek serious help. But such
165
00:11:11.080 --> 00:11:14.360
as the paradox of mental illness, those with the most
166
00:11:14.440 --> 00:11:18.679
severe mental illnesses are usually convinced that not only are
167
00:11:18.679 --> 00:11:22.320
they perfectly healthy, they have gained some kind of insight
168
00:11:22.519 --> 00:11:26.519
into themselves or the universe that has elevated them above
169
00:11:26.679 --> 00:11:29.519
the normal human being, and that to seek help is
170
00:11:29.559 --> 00:11:32.919
not only unnecessary, but it would rip them down from
171
00:11:32.960 --> 00:11:35.840
the clouds on which they currently rest to the realm
172
00:11:35.879 --> 00:11:39.559
of mortals. And when you hear Jacqueline speak as you
173
00:11:39.639 --> 00:11:42.399
will soon, it's hard not to wonder if this is
174
00:11:42.440 --> 00:11:46.559
the case with her. As details vary from one publication
175
00:11:46.720 --> 00:11:49.840
to the next, the exact timeline and full story of
176
00:11:49.879 --> 00:11:53.120
what happened between Jacqueline eighties and Isaac is foggy, to
177
00:11:53.159 --> 00:11:56.039
say the least. What we do know is that she
178
00:11:56.159 --> 00:11:59.919
was found in Isaac's apartment taking a bath when Isaac,
179
00:12:00.080 --> 00:12:02.159
who was out of the country at the time, saw
180
00:12:02.200 --> 00:12:06.039
her on a security footage and called the police. Upon arrival,
181
00:12:06.159 --> 00:12:10.559
police founders still in the bathtub, reportedly also discovering a
182
00:12:10.639 --> 00:12:14.519
large butcher knife in her car. The butcher knife aspect
183
00:12:14.600 --> 00:12:17.360
is one that she refuted, claiming instead that it was
184
00:12:17.399 --> 00:12:21.519
a pocket knife that she carried everywhere for protection. Nevertheless,
185
00:12:21.600 --> 00:12:25.840
you cannot bathe in stranger's bathtubs without the permission, and
186
00:12:25.879 --> 00:12:28.480
a person who you've been on one date with is
187
00:12:28.600 --> 00:12:33.559
essentially that a stranger. For this infraction, Jacqueline eighties was
188
00:12:33.679 --> 00:12:36.480
arrested for a criminal trespass and given a court date.
189
00:12:37.120 --> 00:12:39.799
She failed to appear, so a bench warrant was issued.
190
00:12:40.240 --> 00:12:44.159
She continued furthermore to contact and threaten Isaac, showing up
191
00:12:44.159 --> 00:12:47.519
again at his home, then later at his place of employment,
192
00:12:47.600 --> 00:12:51.000
claiming to be his wife. She was immediately escorted from
193
00:12:51.000 --> 00:12:54.159
the property and once again arrested, this time due to
194
00:12:54.200 --> 00:12:57.519
her prior failure to appear and having made comments via
195
00:12:57.639 --> 00:13:00.440
text about moving back to Florida to dodge the conviction.
196
00:13:01.200 --> 00:13:04.000
She was denied bail and sat in an Arizona jail
197
00:13:04.039 --> 00:13:07.279
for the better part of a year. The story became
198
00:13:07.360 --> 00:13:10.879
something of a national phenomenon when reporters were granted an
199
00:13:10.879 --> 00:13:14.399
interview with Jacqueline. It was this interview that truly paints
200
00:13:14.440 --> 00:13:17.799
the picture of how mentally unstable this woman was in
201
00:13:17.919 --> 00:13:23.360
coherent ramblings about numerology, particularly the number thirty three. But
202
00:13:23.480 --> 00:13:26.840
why sit here and describe it when we can listen
203
00:13:27.080 --> 00:13:27.759
for ourselves.
204
00:13:35.440 --> 00:13:40.840
Hi, guys, I'm Jackie. You want to ask me questions?
205
00:13:41.879 --> 00:13:42.159
All right?
206
00:13:42.240 --> 00:13:44.759
Go ahead, start from the beginning. How did you wind
207
00:13:44.840 --> 00:13:45.159
up here?
208
00:13:45.879 --> 00:13:50.000
I wound up here on a road trip from Florida
209
00:13:51.960 --> 00:13:55.120
looking for I guess love.
210
00:13:58.159 --> 00:14:00.440
And I was following the number thirty three. I used
211
00:14:00.440 --> 00:14:02.840
to wake up every day and every night at three
212
00:14:02.840 --> 00:14:04.679
thirty three. I was always three thirty three three three
213
00:14:04.759 --> 00:14:05.120
three three.
214
00:14:05.559 --> 00:14:06.120
So I kept.
215
00:14:06.000 --> 00:14:08.799
Following the number. And I said, why why am I
216
00:14:08.799 --> 00:14:12.039
following the number thirty three? And I spoke to psychic
217
00:14:12.080 --> 00:14:15.639
and she told me. She told me I have the
218
00:14:15.679 --> 00:14:19.399
same birth chart as Jesus. So then I said, okay,
219
00:14:20.360 --> 00:14:22.480
I look up Jesus. He was thirty three when he
220
00:14:22.519 --> 00:14:25.080
came to be. So I was like, that's a thirty three.
221
00:14:25.240 --> 00:14:29.840
My left eye axis is thirty three. The location I
222
00:14:29.879 --> 00:14:31.840
came from in Miami was thirty three one eleven. The
223
00:14:31.960 --> 00:14:33.879
zip code this zip code here now this ZiT the
224
00:14:33.919 --> 00:14:35.960
coordinates on the map, It's thirty three one eleven.
225
00:14:39.679 --> 00:14:42.759
Jacqueline, How did you come to meet the man who
226
00:14:42.840 --> 00:14:44.320
is related to your case?
227
00:14:44.919 --> 00:14:52.440
Oh, Isaac ben Schabba. I met him online. I was
228
00:14:52.480 --> 00:14:54.960
looking for my healing angel. The the psychic I meant
229
00:14:54.960 --> 00:14:56.679
told me I would meet a healing angel.
230
00:14:57.960 --> 00:15:01.840
So I I was in Utah Mount Zion looking for
231
00:15:01.919 --> 00:15:04.519
my healing angel, and I.
232
00:15:06.799 --> 00:15:10.519
Hm.
233
00:15:10.559 --> 00:15:13.200
I was at a bar and I was talking to
234
00:15:13.240 --> 00:15:18.120
the bartender about the number three, and I said, so
235
00:15:18.159 --> 00:15:18.799
the number three.
236
00:15:19.679 --> 00:15:21.080
I told him the story how I got here, just
237
00:15:21.120 --> 00:15:24.759
cause I got here the number three. And then he.
238
00:15:24.720 --> 00:15:27.600
Said not to say anything, but look behind me.
239
00:15:28.159 --> 00:15:30.679
And I looked behind him and there's the giant number three.
