Eddy claimed to have seen James on the side of the road one day, brandishing a sign saying that he was a veteran looking for some help.

Proving that Iowa nice is a real thing, Eddy took him in, gave him a job and even let him live in his home in Pomeroy.

The Date From Hell

Janey met James on Thursday, October 17th and they immediately hit it off.

By Friday they agreed to go on a date, and on Saturday night James drunkenly called up Janey to confess to a murder.

Definitely not a phone call you would want to get from a potential boyfriend.

James was actually Kyle Coolack from just outside of Texas, according to reports.

The Iowa woman quickly called her brother who promptly kicked Coolack out of his home.

Local authorities were contacted early Sunday morning by Eddy, who alerted them to Coolack’s whereabouts. Police promptly apprehended Coolack and booked him into the Carroll County Jail.

What Is Coolack Accused of Doing?

According to reports from a television news station in Houston, Texas, Coolack has been accused of shooting and killing his younger brother Brad. There had been an outstanding murder warrent out for his arrest for several years.

This incident allegedly took place on March 11th, 2022.

Accounts from witnesses claim that there was some sort of argument or altercation between the brothers before a gunshot went off.
