I'm Tiffany Reece, and this is Something Was Wrong. You. They can now make you down and know me here down and know me well. At all, at all, at all, at all. You, thinking of me, you don't know me well. At all, at all, at all. Last episode, we learned how Alex led the charge in uncovering the mysteries behind Stoneers Teslas. Alex connected with Steven of Mason Motors who pursued a civil lawsuit against Stoner for inadequate pay and falsifying insurance documents. The case documents also revealed allegations that Stoner had stolen the identity of her ex-roommate.

And although Steven and his company Mason Motors won the civil case, Stoner has yet to pay the judgment of $68,2.10, and further criminal charges have not been pursued at this time. When my team and I first started working on this case, summer of 2024, I spoke with community member and former Politico, Justin, in one of my early interviews. I'm so thankful to Justin and all of the participants this season for their time. In one of our early interviews, Justin prepared for my first conversation with Megan. Before you talk to her, and I'm not trying to tell you how to do your job. You have to know what you're doing. No, tell me. But I'm very well seasoned in dealing with Megan. She's going to approach you as, I've made some mistakes in my life. I'm trying to right my wrongs. It's been really hard to be under this amount of scrutiny. She's going to come off as the most pathetic person you've ever met, and you're going to come away feeling very gaslight and probably even questioning, is it the right thing to do? You cannot give her a platform to spin that needle. It has to be direct questions like, why did you take the money from Tom on this day?

Because if you let her paint with a broad brush, he will if you let her, and he will make you feel bad for her. Even if you think you won't, you will. When speaking with someone like Megan Stoneer, I knew I had to play my cards correctly. This is why you often hear me playing dumb with Megan. I don't want to come across too strong as I want to keep her talking, but I'm also trying to get her to give me information. At this point, the police had already visited Stoneer in jail to try and get her to talk, and she refused. But I also knew that Stoneer loves attention more than anyone I've ever studied or encountered. She loves it so much that she often puts her own best interest to the side in order to get it.

Hello. This is a call from an inmate at the Hamilton County Jail. Thank you for using Global Telling.

Hi, this is Tiffany. Hi, this is Megan Stoneer. Thanks for taking my call.

I spoke to Justin, and he told me that he would pass along my number, so I'm glad it got to you.

Yeah. I was just curious if you could tell me a little bit about your podcast and your angle on my story.

Yeah. So my name is Tiffany Reece. My main podcast that people know me from is called Something Was Wrong, and essentially, audio documentaries is what I make. We've been doing it since end of 2018 now. So the original season started with a story that I came across through someone I knew. But since then, all of our seasons and stories come to us through the listeners. So we actually have a website where we get submissions. And I actually had multiple people submit your name and this Facebook group that essentially was started surrounding the crimes you've been charged with. Given the public nature of this case, I've been able to review a lot the materials quickly. So, yeah, I thought I would reach out to you and see if you would be interested in making a comment. I have a pretty decent idea of what the allegations against you are and what is in the criminal record. And I could certainly go over that from a fact-checking perspective with you and have you comment on that if you wanted to, or some people go, no comment. It's really up to you.

I mean, I'm happy to touch base with you in November.

Okay. Okay. We're going to air the story regardless, but we will just list it as no comment then.

Okay.

If you want to get back in touch with me before then, you can just let Justin know if he's still speaking with you, and then we can arrange it that way once I've had more time to talk with more people and vet more of this stuff myself.

Okay. I might check with you in a month or two then. Yeah.

Perfect. Yeah, that would be great. All right. Take care of yourself. All right. Bye-bye.

My second Jailhouse call with Stoneer was on September 27th, 2024, while she was creating plans for her looming release on November 15th.

I'm so glad it finally worked. I know that we've been having some trouble getting in contact.

It's been a phone tag week. I apologize. The app hates me. How's it been going?

It's been okay. I got seven weeks left today and I'm- Seven, did you say? Yeah, seven weeks. I'm looking forward to getting out. As you can imagine, I'm just looking forward to seeing my aunt and my dog and hopefully starting a new life as much as I can.

Do you go into some housing? Because I'm assuming they have probation or whatever. I do.

I have probation for a year, but unfortunately, I found a place, but if I hadn't found transitional living, I would literally just be on the streets because I'm not underneath supervision other than probation. So they would have just basically let me go regardless of if I had a place to go or not. So thankfully, I guess, found a transitional living. We'll see how it goes.

And then you go back to the court, an Elmwood County Court, right? On December 19th.

Elmwood. Elmwood, sorry.

It's okay. Yeah, I have a city court case in December, and then I have a probation violation. I'm found guilty in Elmwood on the 20th, the next day in a town called Anderson City Court. Yeah, those are my two court dates. This is a house cleaner that claimed that I guess she wasn't paid. But shockingly, my mom and I both paid her, so she got paid double. I have both receipts, and one is from my mom's debit her account, and then one is from my cash app. So I look forward to presenting that to the judge and hopefully getting that dropped.

Do you have a public defender or are you pro se? I do.

I have a public defender in both cases.

Okay. Okay. Because I noticed there had been a lot... It seemed like you had changed counsel a lot. And they wouldn't let you represent yourself?

No, they don't like you representing yourself. I mean, there was one girl that tried here in Hamilton County, and they ultimately ended up sending her to a mental hospital over it. And until she agreed to get counsel, they wouldn't let her out.

Does your public defender have any insight into does he think you'll save time for these upcoming pending charges? No. He doesn't? My It sounds like you think you can get the theft thrown out.

Yeah, I'm hoping so. Then my license is no longer suspended. The judge is pretty lenient there. I mean, it's city court. Then in Anderson City Court, it sounds like I can just pay off my fees and hopefully be off probation there. I'm hoping to get that done when I get out. I think I got 800 bucks or whatever left to pay on that one. I'm hoping to get that paid and I can be off probation in Anderson. Yeah, I'll just be on probation in Hamilton County, and then eventually I'll get it transferred when I move.

Is there any plan in place for paying each back or some of the other people that are smaller amounts? I know you're in the hole pretty I know you're very deep to Mason Motors and Steven in that case, but what is the actuality you think that you'll be able to pay those back?

Yeah. My first will be the Hamilton County case because my police stipulates that has That has to be done first before anything else. So once that money is paid, let's just say, roughly $3,000. Once I can get that paid back, then I'm going to start looking at my other people that I owe, like Eric and Edward and other people. But yeah, you're right. It will be a while before I even get to Mason Motors. I've been counseled that on those bigger ones, I should just declare bankruptcy, so I don't know what's going to happen.

Behind the closed doors of government offices and military compounds, there are hidden stories and buried secrets from the darkest corners of history.

One was for a criminal misdemeanor case opened on July 12, 2023 for violation of driving conditions pursuant to distracted driving and driving while suspended. The other criminal misdemeanor she pled guilty was opened on July 31, 2023 for possession/display of fictitious/suspended altered driver's license, operating a motor vehicle without financial responsibility, speeding, and driving while suspended. The third criminal misdemeanor case was for a case opened on August second, 2023 for theft. On September 19th, Stoneer's Anderson City Court case was closed, and her, probation was closed due due to defendants' incarceration. This case was Stoner's criminal misdemeanor opened on March first, 2022, for operating a vehicle while intoxicated, endangering a person, operating a vehicle with a schedule one or due, controlled substance, and speeding.

As of December 23rd, 2024, Stoner still has an outstanding balance of $682 for her fine, court costs, and filing fees for this case. In relation to the other cases she she pled guilty to, she was ordered to pay a $250 fine. Back in September, my second call with Stoner abruptly ended because of bad cell service. My next call with her was three days later, on September 30th, 2024, where we jumped back into reviewing the timeline of her crimes once again.

I'm glad it worked. I think I finally figured it out. Thank you for doing so.

Yeah, no problem. I don't know if you are considering making further comment, but if you'd like, what I can do is similar to before, go through essentially the timeline document that we have now that it's filled out and I have all the sources filled in and basically we have gathered and intend to include, or we can just leave it at no comment in general. It's completely up to you. Since we spoke before and we had talked about potentially speaking again, I just wanted to make sure you had the opportunity because the trailer is going out not this Thursday, but next Thursday for early release. So we're about two weeks out at this point.

Okay. What do you think in your first episode is going to be, can I ask?

We honestly haven't decided yet. We've gone through all the footage, and it's all marked and scripted, as we call it, but we are actually making the decisions of how we want to approach it and the structure and stuff still. We're still finalizing that. I also wanted to wait until this conversation, too. I try to not make that call until I've pretty much finalized every anticipated interview. I have our call today. I have one more call with Alyssa, hopefully tomorrow. Then I have a pending call with Sergeant Modlin, who is the officer on the ERA in this case.

Got you.

I did listen to the interview with Pastor Stacey and Michael Anderson. What they allege is when you were 15 or 16 years old, you falsely accused them of texting you to invite you to come over to watch Stacey and Michael have sex with one another. Stacey and Michael report that they called the police and the police spoke with you. They're claiming that it was found out that you had fabricated the text messages, and therefore the allegations against them were false. And again, the source is the Facebook live interview with them.

What was the name of the Facebook people that interviewed them? My aunt has been trying to find that.

It's called forensic foreplay. What they alleged, though, is that the cop not only spoke to you, but that after speaking to you, that you were essentially a psychopath. That's what they said in the interview.

My comment would be, he's not a psychologist or a psychiatrist that can diagnose me.

Okay. Faith burns Side. I reached out to her. Her testimony was in the Twitter Space Live, and she essentially alleges that you tried to convince her that you were involved in an Indiana-based sex trafficking ring similar to Pizzagate. She claimed that you claimed that the attorney general, senators, and governor were sexually assaulting you on a daily basis and that you told Faith Burnside, some of these men had Faith's phone number, and they began texting her violent and sexually explicit messages, and that it was discovered later that you were the one sending those messages to her.

That's not true. That's my only comment on that one.

It was alleged by some of the members of the previous Facebook groups that you were in, such as Spice Girls and to cute servatives. The allegations are that you would essentially take on the stories of other people in these groups and pretend that the same things that were happening to them were happening to you. Some examples are they're alleging fake stalking stories about you being stalked by a medical professional or a local politician, fake deaths of loved ones. They're alleging you lied about sexual assault and that you lied about getting run off the road by iTown.

Okay. Yeah, I will just leave it as that then. I'm not trying to lose war with everyone, obviously.

Hi, my name is Laney, and I met Megan Stoneer through the Spice Girls Facebook groups around 2016. I had seen Megan post a few times, and it was always stuff that came off a little bit weird. She just didn't know how to to something that seemed really basic. And so I was like, she needs a friend. And then Megan and I started talking when she made a post, she had been sexually assaulted. I later found out that she was alleging she had been sexually assaulted by an Indiana House of Representatives member, Brian Bosma. She told me directly that she had been sexually assaulted by Brian Bosma. She told me that she worked for him, which I now know is not true. And she had made a post about having a hard time because she was just dealing with this sexual assault. And so I reached out to her because I'm survivor of sexual assault. I see this girl around. It looks like she needs a friend. Maybe I can be that friend to her. And so I reached out to her, and that's how Megan and I started messaging. We talked a lot through Facebook Messenger, and then at one point, I gave her my cell phone number.

I wouldn't say that I considered her a close friend. I think she may have considered me a close friend. She reached out to me a lot for help with stuff. I considered more of someone that just needed somebody there for them that I was just trying to help support and be nice to. She She told me that Brian Bosma made her sign an NDA and asked me to take a look at it because I was in law school. At this point, I was starting to think something is not adding up here. I would like to see this NDA, so I had her send it to me. It was an NDA talking about business practices. It would be something that you would sign if you worked at a company, certainly not something you would sign if you were assaulted. She forged Brian Bosma's signature at the bottom. I remember looking at it and I was like, This is not right. And so I went on Google and copied and pasted the first paragraph of the NDA into the search with quotation marks, and it came up to some website. I don't know the exact website, but it was the equivalent of www.

Getitnda. Com. So she was passing that fake document around that I don't know if she forged his signature on it or photoshopped it in or what, but it was allegedly signed by him. And so I told Megan, I was like, This NDA doesn't cover any type of sexual assault or anything like this. This is talking about business practices. This wouldn't make sense for him to have you sign. Frankly, if he's an Indiana House of Representatives, then he would have people on his staff that know that. Megan doubled down and was very adamant. He made me sign this. He made me sign this. This is real. I was like, All right, whatever. She told me that she had a therapist. His name was Adriana. I don't know if this person is even real. If he's a segment of her imagination or if he's some poor real therapist that she decided to take it out on. But she told me that she saw him a few times, and then, of course, he started stalking her because everybody loved to stalk Megan, and that she was trying to flee from him and that he followed her across the Orange one night.

She was like, Wouldn't that be a felony? And I was like, Probably so. But why is this man following you? What does he want from you? Are you safe? And she was like, Yes, I'm back home now. Well, then later she told me that Adriana showed up to her house and stripped down to his underwear on her front porch, and that she freaked out and had talking down, that he was going through a psychotic break, and that she was terrified of him, and he was a stalker, and just all this craziness. But again, I don't know if this was even a real person.

Did you ever get her to admit to any of this?

No. She would never admit to anything. This girl would just double down. Everyone was out to get her. Everyone was wrong but her. After she got put out of the group, everything started coming out about her lying and how crazy it was. And so I just fated to the background. There's a lot of different groups. She got put out of some groups but wasn't in another group. And she posted about she needed help and that she was sorry for everyone she'd hurt and that she was taking inventory of herself and all this stuff. And it really pissed me off because it was so ungenuine. It was so obvious that she's not actually sorry. And I sent her a message and told her to shove her apology up her ass.

Then she blocked me. Wow. And that was when she left the Facebook group, that was still probably end of 2018 or so?

Yeah.

Okay. Allegations against Bosma. Do you want to speak to that?

No, I'm good.

Okay. There was a conversation that at one time you were working with a journalist at the Indianapolis Star, and that those journalists harassed you at some point. Were you ever working with an Indianapolis Star reporter on a piece related to sexual assault allegations?

No, I'm not commenting.

My case noted the civil case between yourself and your aunt. It looks like it settled as of now. Has that debt been fully repaid?

My aunt is considering dropping a lawsuit. My aunt and I had become extremely close as with my mom's death, and she regrets taking it out of the family.

Yeah. Again, very sorry for your loss of both of your parents. It's difficult to lose loved ones.

I'm curious what you would say to the allegations that your parents had some records and some things on their background that were perhaps a little bit shady, basically, that your parents had some charges and some misdemeanor, fraud, scam charges on their records.

My mom might have some bad checks. Honestly, I don't know. I was a child.

Would you say your parents were honest people? Were they involved in any of your crimes?

My mom was 100 % an honest person. That's why you will see that she even paid the cleaning lady when she had heard that she wasn't paid on time. My mom was an absolute honest person, and my dad was, too. Both had integrity, and both raised me much better than at the choices I made.

Okay. Now, Tom, I interviewed him at length, and I will say he supplied a significant amount of organized evidence. Is there any comment you want to make on that situation? No. At one point, there was conversation between you and Alyssa about writing a letter to the credit card company to clarify the charges on Eric's credit report. Did that ever end up happening?

No. She was promising bail money if I did it.

Got it. Is that something you would be willing to consider in the future Sure.

Actually, I just won't comment. I will just say I felt very coerced into things because she was like, I'll bail you out if you do this and this and this. And I really didn't have a choice, I felt, because I wanted to get her flattered out this time last year.

Okay. Did you specifically target Tom and her because of their disabilities?

No, they were friends of mine.

Do you have guilt with that consideration?

Yes, I do, but I think that's a tough question because neither will speak to me to get resolution on the situations at hand. I think both have been blown way out of proportion.

Obviously, it's hard to stomach a lot of the manipulation. I think that was the hardest part for me to take in. And I think that's the reason why people were so motivated, because it's one thing to scam a corporation. It's another thing to scam a person. It's a whole other thing to scam somebody you know has disabilities, right? Or you know is, by definition, more susceptible to this stuff.

But I don't view them more susceptible because they're very intelligent human beings. My intention was never to scam them.

Right. But when you were talking to Steven in the Tesla text as Abby, you outlined in detail the ways that autistic people can be impacted by those interactions. And autistic people You are more susceptible to gaslighting and fraud, both from a data standpoint and a psychological standpoint. You have one minute remaining. I guess I was just curious because it seems to me like you perhaps targeted them because of their disabilities.

I did not.

Okay. I hope not.

I did not.

Okay.

They were my friends.

Yeah, they trusted you. That's really thought he had you as a friend, and you broke his heart. There's allegations of fraud against the small business administration that you obtained a PPP loan fraudulently. Do you have any comment on that?

I did not obtain it fraudulently.

Okay. On the Sinking Arc podcast, there was allegations against Itown. They're alleging that you lied about getting run off the road by Itown, and that you lied about Itown sending you the box of sex toys. I know there was this fake murder for higher plot. I spoke to Pastor Jeff Thompson, and I actually interviewed Julie Roy on the record. Do you want to comment on any of that?

No, I'm good. Okay.

This was confirmed through a few different interviews, and some screenshots were sent and links, et cetera. But essentially this iTown controversy and that somebody had allegedly shot your mom. Do you want to comment on that?

No, I think everything speaks for itself.

What about Bulldogs Moving Co?

Being put out in court.

Okay. Something that was mentioned here earlier about you creating a GoFundMe while you had pending legal charges. Were those GoFundMes posted under false pretenses or were they legitimate funding exercises? The money went to the moving company, not Bulldog, but then moving company that helped me move.

I needed some money to get my stuff out of storage. No, the money was provided to them immediately. And I had to provide proof to GoFund me because GoFund me tried to shut I've done several times because people complain, whatever.

Okay. Steven Mason, I will say I read the 128-page civil document. In it, you make claims that you have a child that, again, dies, I believe, a 12-year-old child in the text messages. Do you want to make any comment to that?

No. Did Steven get an interview?

He did not. I tried to reach out to him. It's pretty detailed, the civil document. But I also understand a lot of people are just over it. They want to move forward, and they don't want to talk about it anymore or be associated with that when they're in more of the public eye or business people, things of that nature. Okay. There was the DWI that was then changed over to the OWI, which led to some of the warrants and things of that nature. Do you want to make any comment on that?

Yeah. It was due to cough medicine in my system, which everyone knows I made that very trouble with, and the fact that I was on allergy medicine, and they tried to say that I had above the therapeutic dose. I will say that I was at my mom prior to getting pulled over. My father was passing away later passed away a few weeks later. It was my birthday. Anyone that knows me knows I've never had a drink of alcohol. I had maybe once in a wine. But other than that, everyone that knows me knows I don't drink. It was just a situation And that I couldn't argue. They said it was above the therapeutic level. Okay, I have a prescription, and there was nothing else that could really be said, so I led guilty and got a year of probation.

Okay, Haribo. Can you give an interview? Not yet.

Is he going to?

I'm not sure. I have not heard a response yet. But I have seen the online posts that you made alleging that he sexually assaulted you. Do you want clarify any of those claims?

I would just say that our relationship that we had was a very intimate and close relationship. My trauma was on full display, and I had a lot of things that I had to navigate here during that time, and I believe that Harry and I did so successfully. We were talking as of the time that I was arrested last year, so 12 months ago, and we spoke once or twice while I've been in jail.

Okay. Do you have a current relationship?

I've been locked up, so I don't know how you want to classify that.

Do you speak on a frequent basis, would you say, in the more recent months?

Well, we were starting to work again together when I got picked up last year.

Got it. How long did you work together in total, would you say? Six months?

February, March, April, May, June. Then we paused in June. He was out of the country for his honeymoon, and then we picked back up when he got back in late August, September, right before I got arrested.

Hi, I'm Hannah. I met Megan Stoneer, I believe, back in 2016. She friended me on Facebook, and for years, she's been the topic of many group chats because we were all friends with her. We had all fallen into somehow the algorithm suggesting and whatever she's friending all of us. There was some element of watching a train wreck in some ways. She just was a lot on the internet, and it was entertaining scanning. I think her looks really played into a lot of how she got away with her scamming. In the beginning, she was just attacking everything with so much confidence in a way I admired it because I felt like I struggled in my confidence in some areas of my life before. And when she was running for office or doing all these things, I thought, if she's doing it, so can I. I support that. You're wanting to make a difference no matter what, and you're not letting anything hold you back. Then you come to find out everything, and it's all like a house of cards, and none of it was real. It makes you have this weird feeling. All of her victims are a similar type of person, a good-hearted person, a trusting person.

She's damaged society in a way where she's made it so people are less trusting, like the trusting and good-hearted people in the world are a little bit more jaded now because of her actions. She's posting all this stuff about Haribo and the Yoni massages. Some of my perspectives shifted in speaking with Haribo because he did become a friend. And Haribo is a victim in this, majorly. He genuinely was trying to help her. He's not a therapist. He's a sex guru, I think this is a technical title. He lived in New Jersey in his early '30s, and she was stealing the money from me to pay Haribo. She racked up a debt with him at one point, and he had suspended their services until she could pay it. She eventually did. But he didn't know what to believe. When I contacted him, I sent him something that was like, I know I sound like a crazy person, but you've got to believe me, this is what's going on. I'm worried it's happening to you. We got on the phone. It took me a little bit to convince him. Then we talked several times after that because she started filing false sexual assault allegations.

I have all of my text messages. We first connected April 30th of 2023, and we last connected September 11th. I was just keeping him updated with stuff that was going on. I sent him April 30th, Chloe's tweet that says, Justice is finally served. Megan Stone earth arrested for fraud, stealing and lying is long overdue, and said, Hi, Harry. She has been charged with several counts of felony fraud, and I was wondering if you have any experiences with her. That would be of note. Have you heard about this? And he said, I haven't heard about it, and I haven't had any serious issues with her. And then I sent him the Finding Pleasure After Sexual Violence, like Canva article thing, the Don't Waste This Fucking Session, this the whole like style profile she wrote about herself. I said, And have you been compensated for your services? That seems to be the common theme that she's not paid for services and products she has agreed to and has tried to instolen money from many people. And he said, May I ask how you'll be using this information? I said, I have personally experienced some of the scamming, and many of my friends have as well, but there are many others who have had far worse done to them because of her actions.

There's a group of people who are trying to uncover the truth behind what has been going on. You've been a large character in the things she has said online. So I just wanted to reach out and see if everything was okay with you in case the things she's saying aren't true. There have been instances of her claiming people are connected to her who are not. And he said, Finances are something that Megan and I have had some challenges with. It's definitely an area of improvement for her. What have you personally experienced? And I told him about the rent scams, and he said, I'm sorry to hear all this. I do have a contract written up with her, and if she fails to pay, I will take legal action. But so far, she's been coming through on the payments a little late at times, but still coming through. If it does get ugly, I'll let you know. And he didn't respond to those after that. But then I sent him screenshots from Twitter of her DMing with someone saying, Hi, are you around? So I probably should warn you this He mentions trauma and sexual assault, but not in graphic detail.

I was doing some bodywork, and I realized it's going to sound questionable. It was my second session, and when the professional I've been working with went to do internal massage work, I don't remember him asking. And This is where I vomit every time because there's no good solution. I have prior trauma, so it's possible I dissociated. I could go to the police, but I don't feel that would help me, and I'm not sure what the solution is. This person wrote back, Is this the professional you've been writing your book about? And she said, Yep, and doing the NYT stuff with and speaking about. I'm really conflicted. Do you have any advice? This had been posted to Twitter. Those screenshots of somebody's DMs with her who posted them. I sent them to Haribo on April 30th at 10:41 PM and said, Harry, I know you probably think I'm crazy, but I'm genuinely trying to protect people from being future victims. I just received these screenshots of messages where Megan is accusing you of sexual impropriety. This is another one of her patterns. She has accused many pastors and Indiana elected officials of sexual assault and rape against her, which have all been found to be untrue.

Even some, she admitted she made up. I just want you to be aware of what she has been leading people to believe. The next day, he texted back, Thanks, Hannah. I'm going to have a talk with Megan tomorrow. We got on the phone on May third. My to speak with him was is, Kari, I watched your video on human needs, and you said something that really resonated with me, contributing my energy to solving injustices and suffering I see in the world. I very much wonder if I'm doing that, but always actively strive to. You and Lovina speak very eloquently and explain things very well. I truly have enjoyed watching your videos and hearing your thoughts on navigating conflict and loving relationships. I realize, again, you must think I'm a nut, and I really would love to just introduce myself properly to you so you know I'm not. Can I schedule one of your time slots with you for a phone call tomorrow so you can better know me? He said, Hi, Hannah, I don't think that you're a nut at all, and I appreciate your persistence in connecting with me. I'm open for a call today between 10:00 to 12:00 or 1:00 to 2:00.

Any of these times work for you. And I said, 1:00 PM, great. That's when we spoke on the phone, and we spoke for about an hour, two different times.
