5 min readA Letter on the Windshield
On a Tuesday afternoon, a man driving through Jupiter, Florida noticed an envelope tucked under his windshield wiper. He pulled over, opened it, and found a typed letter warning that he would be dead by Wednesday. The note also contained someone's name and phone number. He called his attorney, then his friend Tim, then the police. He was terrified. The man had recently broken up with a woman named Brie, who had a personality disorder diagnosis, had been arrested multiple times on his street, and had begged him to marry her the day before they split. Now an anonymous letter was telling him he had days to live.
The letter itself was strange. It read like a confession or a complaint, describing in detail the same accusations Brie had made in a recent injunction against him—that he put trackers on her car, that someone had been tased and beaten, that an apartment fire alarm had been pulled. The man insisted he had no idea who wrote it. But the detective listening to him had a different theory: the letter looked like it had been written by Brie herself, trying to frame someone else.
