By haunting chat rooms, he pinpointed vulnerable women looking for romance and stalked them on-line, convincing them of his maturity, sensitivity, and financial stability. He seemed like the perfect man. He enticed women with offers of a solid relationship and a lucrative job, persuading them to move to his hometown. Once in Kansas, the women disappeared.
