"The Case against Ezra McCandless." March 2018. Ezra showed up at a home and she claimed that she had been violently attacked. The word "boy" was carved on her arm. Police investigators later found an abandoned car with a dead body inside of it. That body belonged to Alex Woodworth who was 23-years-old. He was brutally stabbed 16 times. 

She had earlier changed her name to Ezra and was known to be a manipulative liar. She claimed that she was raped by a male friend. Alex had told police the different circumstances surrounding that "supposed" rape. The sexual assault claims were dropped and Ezra moved home. She was bitter that Alex spoke out against her to the police. Did her bitterness drive her to violence?
