Online dating in games is a very common thing for players, but can you believe that someone is in love with a kidnapping case, and even made headlines in the media? Yes, this happened in Florida, USA, and the protagonist is a heavy World of Warcraft player!
According to several media reports, the U.S. police recently successfully used the game "World of Warcraft" to solve a bizarre kidnapping case. A 16-year-old underage girl disappeared in Ohio on December 27, and the police almost made the case an unsolved case after questioning neighbors.
What is very outrageous is that follow-up investigators found that the girl had logged into the World of Warcraft account multiple times in Florida, and another named Thomas Ebersole also logged in frequently in the same place, which attracted great attention from the police.
Subsequently, through the IP address location given by the official "World of Warcraft", the police successfully found the missing 16-year-old underage girl in Florida, more than 1,000 kilometers away from Ohio, and arrested the strange man who took her to play "World of Warcraft" - Thomas Ebersole, a 31-year-old single man.
The most unfortunate thing is that this incident, which seems to be an online elopement between a young couple, has changed its flavor under the personal narration of Thomas Ebersole. The man said he personally drove the victim back to his home and hid her, planning to wait until the girl reached adulthood to become legally married to her.
Let's just don't care how difficult this plan is, just tying people to their own homes to play "World of Warcraft" together, the anti-heaven operation, makes people can't imagine why this Ebersole can't play with people online, is it too far away and there is a delay in the network, or is it more immersive to play face-to-face in a group?
All in all, waiting for Ebersole is a bunch of charges for interfering with child custody and infringing on the rights of minors, and this guy probably won't have time to play World of Warcraft for the time being.
