In 2018, Jacqueline Claire Eads was accused of sending 159,000 text messages to a man she went on a one-on-one date with.
According to court documents, over the course of 10 months, Edes sent a man she met on an online dating site up to 500 text messages a day, after meeting him in person just once.
Paradise Valley Police were called in July 2017, when the man reported Addes was harassing him through text messages, including "threatening" messages and "multiple death threats."

There are scientific reasons for this
"Don't ever try to leave me... I'll kill you... I don't want to be a murderer!"
They are some of the alleged texts that were read.
"I hope you die...a rotten filthy Jew...lol I'm like the new Hitler...the man was a genius," another text read, according to the police report, according to the Washington Post. Eventually, from there the situation escalated to physical surveillance , after the man reportedly blocked Edes on the dating app, she took it as a sign to move from Florida to Arizona, near where he lives. "I told him if he ever blocked me on that app, I would come move here," the woman told reporters. "And he blocked me , so I came here."
Court reports state that police arrested Edes after breaking into the man's home while he was abroad, and when they arrived, she was in the man's bathtub, taking a shower, and police found a large butcher knife on the seat of her car. A few months later Edes showed up at the workplace of The man and pretended to be his wife before the police escorted her off the property.
After these two incidents, Edes was taken into custody, and when a reporter asked her if she thought sending so many messages to one man after a date wasn't "a bit excessive," she replied: "Love is an excessive thing ." Eads said she knows her statements are "crazy," but she stands by them nonetheless. "If he wants me to go to jail, I should be in jail," Eads told reporters. "He's the light, I'm the love.
He knows what to do and I follow the rules."
"I felt that I met my soul mate and everything was exactly as it was," Eds said at the time in an interview with the media. "I thought we would do what everyone else did, and get married, and everything would be fine, but that's not what happened." When asked If she's crazy, Eds just said, "No, I'm just a person who discovered what love is."

The case ended with mental health professionals testing Edes' mental competency to determine if she fully understood the actions she had taken and the charges against her.
Edes was found to be mentally incompetent, and the charges against her were dropped.
A lawyer on behalf of the court said in a statement: "I feel that justice has been served. It is clear that she is mentally ill, and I hope that she can receive the necessary treatment."
Edes stayed at a health center for a while after that, and then her parents brought her back to Florida where she would receive more treatment.
Also, she must not contact the man she is chasing.
Eads' story was revived online in February 2024 after the Instagram page @wasted posted about her arrest, prompting people to ask where she is today, to which there is no clear answer - Jacqueline Eads reportedly died in 2021 at the age of 34, and even leaked evidence of it who was buried on 7/11/2021, but only partially.
