obsessions, crimes that leavewreckage in their wake.
I'm your host Thomas, and todaywe're covering a case of
stalking, obsession, and murderthat shook a suburban Ohio
community.
It's the story of Ellie White, atwenty three-year-old young
woman whose life was cut shortby a man she'd known, and who
had quietly invaded her world interrifying ways.
(00:24):
That man, Michael Strauss,carried with him a chilling
pattern of behavior thatescalated from surveillance and
harassment to violence anddeath.
Today we'll walk through whoEllie was, the stalking
timeline, the investigation, thearrest and interrogation, the
trial and sentence, and finallythe broader reflections on
stalking, how it can escalateand what we can learn.
(01:20):
So let's begin with Ellie.
In a suburb of Cincinnati, Ohio,in the township of Westchester
Township, lived a young womannamed Ellen Ellie White.
She was twenty three when shedied.
Friends described her as warm,bright, full of life, a person
you felt safe with, someonewhose smile lit up a room.
In the months before her death,however, something had changed.
(01:41):
She told friends she didn't feelsafe anymore.
She was being harassed,surveilled, persecuted by
someone.
According to friends, she hadbeen terrified for months.
On april eleventh, twentyeighteen, Ellie's mother
reported that someone had takena photo of Ellie inside their
home through a window, then sentthat photo to Ellie, presumably
to terrify her, in one friend'swords.
(02:03):
It was like a very sick game ofcat and mouse.
She kept asking who is it?
And they would reply, you knowwho it is.
Even as she took steps toprotect herself, the harassment
escalated.
Ellie went missing on julytwenty ninth, twenty eighteen,
from her Westchester home, andher mother reported her missing
on august first.
Her body was discovered earlierthan that in a field off
(02:25):
Milliken Road in the neighboringtownship of Liberty Township on
august twenty fourth, and shehad been dead for some time.
She is remembered now with treesplanted in her memory, Easter
eggs hung on her trees, a brightspirit lost too soon.
Why?
What happened?
That leads us to the personcharged, Michael Strauss.
Michael Strauss, the man acrossthe street.
(02:47):
Michael Strauss, at the timetwenty nine years old, lived on
Bluffs Drive in LibertyTownship, just across the field
from the spot where Ellie's bodywould later be found.
Court documents andinterrogation transcripts
portray him as someone obsessedwith horror, psychological
scariness, someone who tolddetectives he liked
psychological stuff.
He used technology to stalk,sending spoof text pretending to
(03:10):
be someone else.
He filmed Ellie through herwindow.
He appeared in her world whenshe thought she was safe.
He collected tokens of her hair,her driver's license, a
necklace, and called it atribute.
According to the indictment, thestalking period began january
first, twenty eighteen throughjuly twenty ninth, twenty
eighteen.
He engaged in a pattern ofconduct that caused Ellie to
(03:32):
believe the offender would causephysical harm or mental
distress, and he trespassedwhere she lived, worked, or
attended school.
Friends say she was sofrightened.
She had other friends stay ather house, she told them, I
don't know if I'm safe.
All of this culminated in thetragedy of July and August
twenty eighteen.
What started as invasionfilmings, texts, theft of hair,
(03:53):
sending strange messagesescalated.
The prosecution paints adisturbing progression.
In April twenty eighteen,Strauss used a window to film
Ellie at night in her home.
He then sent her a portion ofthat video.
He spoofed phone numbers, posedas friends of Ellie, sent her
obscene photos.
He Googled deviant sexualcontent, violent pornography,
(04:14):
woman attacked while jogging inMason, Ohio, searches showing
disturbing fixation.
Then the murder.
On or about july twenty ninth,twenty eighteen, according to
the indictment, Strauss causedthe death of Ellie, according to
a prosecutor's statement.
This defendant did place plasticwrap over Ellen White's head,
which caused her death bysuffocation.
(04:35):
After her death, the body wasbound in duct tape, wrapped in
plastic, placed nude in ablanket, and dumped in a field
across the street from hishouse.
He then waited a while the bodyremained in that field for some
days before discovery.
He was arrested august twentyfifth, twenty eighteen, about
twelve hours after the body wasfound.
Quite simply, the stalking wasnot incidental.
(04:57):
It was foundational.
The body disposal shows thecold, calculated aftermath.
The investigation was heavy.
Prosecutors listed eighty eightpieces of evidence just in one
hearing including cell phonerecords, social media logs,
Snapchat, Instagram, bankrecords, Amazon records, flight
records, aerial photos, andskeleton reconstruction photos.
(05:18):
Detectives interrogated Straussfor seventeen hours.
In those transcripts, headmitted to peeking through a
window and filming Ellie.
I thought she looked cute, I'mjust going to film her for a
little bit.
He claimed they were filming ahorror movie.
He claimed accident when askedabout how Ellie's hands were zip
tied.
Detectives weren't buying it.
(05:39):
The case was sealed in manyrespects search warrants were
sealed, details heavilyredacted.
Yet what emerged painted a starkpicture of stalking leading to
murder.
The stalking charges weresignificant.
Between january first and julytwenty ninth, Strauss's pattern
of conduct caused Ellie tobelieve he would cause harm or
distress.
The bond was set at four millionfollowing the indictment.
(06:01):
On march twelfth, twentynineteen, Strauss pleaded guilty
to murder, menacing by stalking,and gross abuse of a corpse.
Some charges aggravated murder,tampering with evidence, petty
theft were dismissed as part ofthe plea deal.
The sentencing came on April 17,2019.
He received the maximum term.
15 to life for murder, 18 monthsfor stalking menacing by
(06:23):
stalking, and 12 months forgross abuse of a corpse, all
consecutive resulting in paroleeligibility after roughly 17.5
years.
From the sentencing article.
Please believe me, from thebottom of my heart, I never
wanted to hurt anybody, Strausssaid.
The judge stated, Life inprison, but parole possible
after 17.5 years.
(06:44):
Ellie's family spoke.
Her mother asked the court tochange the death certificate to
reflect July 29th, the date ofdeath, rather than the date her
body was discovered in August.
Her sister and other friendswore bright colors, tie-dyed
shirts in her honor.
Eggs with messages were hung ontwo trees in a park planted in
Ellie's memory.
The case closed in court, butthe impact remains in the
(07:07):
friends, family, and communityforever changed.
This case is not only a story ofmurder, it's a study in how
stalking can escalate intodeadly violence.
According to national data,victims of stalking are
vulnerable, especially when thestalker engages in a pattern of
behavior, trespass, harassment,and digital intrusion.
Here are key takeaways.
(07:28):
Stalking often begins softly andescalates.
Ellie's case.
First harassing text messages,photos, filming through windows,
spoofing identities.
The behavior escalated over sixmonths.
The indictment covers January toJuly.
This is consistent withresearch, showing stalking often
builds over time and includesdigital abuse, trespass,
(07:49):
monitoring.
Because stalking is oftendismissed or underestimated,
victims may not be protected.
Ellie reported a harassmentcomplaint in April.
Police patrolled her house.
But full scale danger remained.
This shows the difficulty.
When harassment doesn't yetresult in obvious physical
violence, it may not triggerfull protection.
(08:09):
Technology plays a role.
Strauss used a text spoofingapp, he recorded video through
windows, he Googled deviant pornand searches tied to his
pathology.
Digital intrusion amplifies fearand risk.
Obsession can convert toviolence.
Stalkers are not always merenuisance, they can escalate to
homicide.
That is what happened here.
(08:30):
The tribunal of behaviorfollowed the classic escalation.
Surveillance, harassment,intrusion, murder.
The proximity factor matters?
Strauss lived right across thefield from where Ellie's body
was dumped.
He had intimate knowledge of herenvironment.
The physical location made thestalking more potent.
The aftermath is devastation.
Ellie's family, friends,community, they pay the lifelong
(08:53):
cost.
The sentencing, the memorials,these are necessary, but they
can't bring her back.

(09:58):
years.
What we know about the homicideitself is chilling.
The prosecution referenced,plastic wrap over Ellie's head
suffocation, duct tape, blanket,dumping the nude body.
These details reveal coldplanning and depravity.
In the interrogation, Straussclaimed they were filming a
horror movie at Ellie's houseand then at his house, and that
(10:19):
what occurred was some kind ofaccident.
Detectives rejected thisexplanation, he told
investigators, I rememberpicking her up, and I thought I
carried her, but it makes senseif I put her in the car.
But the physical evidenceEllie's driver's license, her
necklace, clump of hair in a tinlabeled tribute at Strauss's
residence undermine hisnarrative.
(10:40):
He attempted to frame it asconsensual filming.
But the reality, restraining,suffocating, disposing.
This speaks to the interplay ofstalking and homicide.
The stalker moves from watchingto controlling to killing.
The crime scene shows thehumiliation and dehumanization
of the victim body stripped,wrapped, hidden.
The tribute of hair speaks to apathological trophy taking.
(11:02):
At sentencing, Ellie's motheraddressed the court, requesting
the record highlight the actualdate of death july twenty ninth,
rather than the discovery datein August.
She said, I pray he experienceslife in prison as long as we
experience our lives withoutEllie.
Friends wore bright colors, tiedye shirts, brought eggs with
messages, and hung them on treesat Kehiner Park planted in her
(11:25):
memory.
One friend said, She was thelight in the darkroom.
Community reaction inWestchester in Liberty Townships
was one of profound shock, howsomeone so young, vibrant, could
be so violently taken.
The case highlighted fears insuburban settings, the idea that
danger isn't just downtown, butcan exist next door.
What can we take away beyond thehorror?
(11:47):
Victims of stalking may feelunsafe, but may not get full
protective intervention.
Ellie reported harassment, butonce stalking escalates, the
resources and protection mayprove insufficient.
Digital stalking is real andpotent.
Hidden cameras, window filming,spoof texts, collecting items
all increase risk.
Public awareness has been slow.
(12:09):
Proximity equals risk.
The fact Strauss lived acrossthe street from the field where
the body was dumped underscoreshow the neighbor can be the
threat.
Stalking to homicide link.
Research indicates victims ofstalking are at increased risk
of harm, including homicide.
Trophy taking signalsescalation.
Hair in a tin, driver's license,necklace all speak to obsessive
(12:31):
collection, a red flag.
Parole eligibility is notimmediate freedom.
Strauss will be eligible inabout seventeen point five
years.
The sentence acknowledges theseverity.
Some victims' families worryabout parole.
Support for victims.
Reporting harassment, savingevidence, videos, texts,
informing friends family allmatter.
(12:52):
The system is still catching up.
Ellie White's death is not onlya crime story, it's a cautionary
tale about how stalking is notjust annoying, it can be deadly.
The behaviors that precedeviolence often appear innocuous,
or at least tolerable, unwantedtexts, creepy photos, window
peeking, but when it becomespattern, proximity, obsession,
it becomes dangerous.
(13:14):
Michael Strauss's case forces usto ask, how many other victims
are being stalked right now whowill never escalate, but in some
terrifying subset will?
And how can we make systems,police, community, legislature
better at intervening beforeit's too late?
So today we remember Ellie notas a statistic, but as a person
whose life mattered, whoselaughter, whose presence filled
(13:35):
a room.
Her friend said she made youfeel safe.
Tragically, she was not safe inthe end.
If you are listening, and youfeel you're being stalked,
harassed, surveilled, pleasedon't wait.
Save the texts, record theincidents, reach out to law
enforcement, victim advocateservices, trusted friends.
Because the steps we take maymatter.
That concludes this episode ofHuman Wreckage.
(13:58):
Thank you for listening.
If you found this piecedifficult to hear, you're not
alone, these stories are raw.
But they matter.
We'll continue to bring you morestories where human wreckage
meets the law, the psyche, andthe society around us.
