Iowa Woman’s Blind Date Confesses To Being Wanted For Murder

When we say the dating world is difficult, this is what we mean.

It's not only the dating app conversations that can lead to weird conversations between singles. It's also just life. That's the case for a lady in Fort Dodge.

According to our friends at KWQC, Janey Voyek found out 2 days after she met Kyle Coolack that his past isn't very clean.

The Backstory

Janey says that her brother saw Kyle ("a veteran looking for help", according to her) on the side of the road and her brother took him in. Her brother let him live in his house in Pomeroy and gave him a job.

Kyle told everyone that his name was James.

The Reveal

When Janey was on the phone with Kyle/James on Saturday, he was drunk and his charming personality was way gone. Janey says he straight up told her that he murdered his brother 2 years ago.

Janey immediately got off the phone, texted her brother about it, and her brother confronted Kyle/James. He didn't deny it so Janey's brother kicked him out of the house and called police.

The Reaction

Of course, everyone was shocked, especially Janey. She told the news outlet:

Nobody ever seen him be this kind of person, or to ever expect that it would ever come out that he was a murderer...I’m just happy to help them get the closure and they rest at ease that now Kyle is locked up and nobody else is in danger

The Calhoun County Sheriff's Department picked up Coolack on Sunday morning outside of Pomeroy. He's being extradited back to Houston, where he is accused of shooting and killing his brother in 2022.

Sgt. Cullen Duncan, with the Houston Police Department said he believed it was only a matter of time before Coolack was apprehended. Janey is angry about the situation but says that she's learned her lesson.

The Advice

Single folks, a bit of advice from yours truly: get snoopy. Look up people in Iowa Courts, Illinois Case Search, or in whatever state's online court system that they claim to be from. The U.S. Marshals, the state of Illinois, and FBI all keep wanted fugitives lists going. Google in general helps too. If you can't find anyone by that name from that state, something might be up. Reverse image search is also a powerful tool.
