Angela Diaz made headlines in one of the most shocking false accusation cases in recent history. She told police she was being stalked, harassed, and terrorized by her husband’s ex-fiancée, Michelle Hadley.
Diaz claimed Hadley sent threatening emails. That she posed a physical danger. That she had answered Craigslist rape fantasy ads and sent strangers to Angela’s doorstep. She even said she had cancer, was pregnant, and feared for her life.
Police believed every word.
Michelle Hadley was arrested and labeled a stalker. Her name was destroyed. Her freedom was nearly taken.
But the entire story was a lie.
In this episode of GBRLIFE Of Crimes, we break down the twisted true story of Angela Diaz — a woman who faked an entire cyberstalking campaign, manipulated law enforcement, and nearly sent an innocent woman to prison.
🎙️ Listen as we explore:
• The bizarre Craigslist assault plot and how it spiraled
• Angela Diaz’s lies — from fake diagnoses to planted emails
• The unraveling of the case and Michelle Hadley’s exoneration
• The role of Ian Diaz, a U.S. marshal with his own secrets
• How the justice system got it wrong — and nearly ruined a life
This isn't just a case about lies. It's about power, manipulation, and the horrifying ease of turning fiction into criminal charges.
📍 Angela Diaz. Michelle Hadley. Ian Diaz. The cyberstalking case that shook Orange County and exposed major cracks in the system.
