The "Cupid of Chaos": cheated at least three women in three states to steal your money

Alicia Grant believed that it was the woman's number res.

He married Michael Middleton in New Hampshire. in 2013 after having met on the internet. He was the kind of person who "It makes you feel special", he told WMTW 8 from his home in Exeter, N.H.

But he also he wanted her to buy a lot of things for himsaid the woman.

There was the Camaro Z28, all new clothes, gadgets. "He said: "Honey, I love this computer a lot! Can we buy this computer? ", Grant mentioned in another interview with Newsweek. "So I bought a computer," only to find out later that Middleton had returned several gifts so that he can save money in cash.

Their relationship has collapsed when he hit her, which led to arrest for domestic violence in Middleton, barely a few weeks of marriagehe told Newsweek. And then, after that, Grant told WMTW 8: "My life was a movie for life".

After the arrest, Middleton disappeared. In no time, Grant says: he cheated on her for $ 20,000. He spent years looking for him to cancel the marriage and be able to continue life. Finally, this year she could do it.

Prosecutors have revealed a charge. In January Grant discovered that she was not the only Middleton woman when she telephoned. The woman at the other end of the line also identified herself as Middleton's wife.

It turns out that they were not alone either.

Middleton, called "Cupid of chaos" by the police, he is now accused of bigamy in New Hampshire after Grant reported his discovery to the police, who has discovered even more marriages with people allegedly contracted throughout the country, have informed the authorities. Prosecutors argue 43-year-old Maine resident, he continued to marry women in order to exhaust his badets and then leave them in embarrbadment, reported the Portland Press Herald. At the time of her marriage to Grant, he was already married to two other women Alabama and Georgia, the police found.

And now, a fourth woman possible, Ashley Climer, introducedthis time in Ohio.

Grant's interviews with several media outlets were apparently worth it: Climer's family saw the story of Michael Middleton published in Newsweek after Middleton did not appear at his Feb. 7 hearing on bigamy charges in Strafford County, NH. After recognizing the wanted man as being Middleton, a family has The family member began to fear for the safety of the woman, said Jim Gilbert, chief of the Franklin County Patrol, at the agency. The informant told the sheriff's office that Middleton had fled to Columbus, Ohio, and told him to the police where they might find him: in front of the home of his supposed fourth group of in-laws.

Indeed, it is there that they found it on Friday. He was detained for bigamy and charged with domestic violence in New Hampshire.and for domestic violence orders pending, the violation of a protection order, DUI and driving without a valid license in Maine, said the Tuesday, the Franklin County Sheriff's Office.

"The third time is not a charm", the sheriff's office wrote on Twitter after the arrest. "This" Cupid of Chaos " He is now waiting for extradition in our prison. "

Authorities in Ohio and New Hampshire claim to believe that there could be more wives. We do not know if the Georgian or Alabama authorities, where the others two women were married in Middletonthey opened criminal investigations.

"It makes you feel special, it makes you feel like it really cares about you" Grant told WMTW 8. "And then he'll marry you, abuse him, drain your possessions and leave."

Climer, a 25-year-old woman with an intellectual disability has become the fourth alleged wife to report to local media about her marriage to Middleton this week, presenting a Kentucky marriage license. (She is also identified as Ashley Collins or Ashley Middleton in some reports). He told NBC4 in Columbus that he had met Middleton on Facebook in March 2016 and they got married the following month.

He spent the next three years with him traveling the country and living in motels, some of whom, he says, were infested with badroaches. Soon, she was pregnant and gave birth to a girl in 2017, said Climer.

But Climer and his mother, who appeared with her during the interview, said the situation had worsened last year. They said Middleton had falsified Climer's signature to put the baby up for adoption in Missouri.

"It disgusts me.Climer said."I do not know how I could say that he'd love me and lie to me for three years".

Mother and daughter told NBC4 that they were in contact with the police. The other members of his family captured his arrest in front of the residence on a mobile phone video, showing a beefy man dressed in blue jeans and a baseball cap that slipped between handcuffs. In interviews with local information, they urged other possible wives to introduce themselves.

"He's a crook," Climer's sister-in-law, Tiffany Collins, told WMUR at WMUR 9. "I think it feeds on some women, women who have been hurt or women who just need that peace of mind, and then play the role that is needed. They need them and they send them back to against his family"

It is not clear if Middleton has a lawyer. He declined to comment on previous reports. The recordings show that he is still in jail in Franklin County, Ohio, without bail. An extradition hearing is scheduled for Friday.
