On July 31st, Ryan emailed Debbie four times. Over the next six days, Ryan sent Debbie a total of 16 emails, which officers observed mostly unopened in Debbie’s spam folder. Debbie also mentioned to officers that Ryan had attempted to contact her through their adult son. In addition to the emails, it was found that Ryan had been leaving notes and letters on Debbie’s car.

One of these emails contained a satellite image of the residence Debbie was staying at. A separate email had a picture of a man Debbie was visiting. Another email contained “Have fun at Chris” in the subject line, and a separate one said, “I have a right to know where the car is.”

After returning to her current residence on August 5th at 12:30 a.m., Debbie stated that her car alarm went off a few minutes after her arrival. At 12:38 a.m. Ryan sent an email that said, “After 4 hours with your guy friend.
