A over zealous and quite possibly unstable Second Life gamer was arrested in Delaware for
attempted kidnapping of her virtual ex-boyfriend. Well, the media report is kind because
the virtual ex-boyfriend is in fact a virtual lion in Second Life. The report states Kimberly
Jernigan, 33 of North Carolina, was so distraught after the virtual breakup she went into a
"downward spiral". She allegedly drove to Delaware, broke into his house, and lied in wait
for him. When he returned home he entered his house to see a stranger pointing an laser
beam object at him. He fled, called police, and upon their entering the house they found a
kidnap kit of duct tape, taser, BB gun, and handcuffs. They also found Kimberly's dog in the
bathroom duct taped (I guess she had to practice first or something). She was arrested an
hour later in Maryland after a brief struggle.



FYI, it says she is a virtual woman in the game. Unfortunately for her, in real life she will be
doing some real time. She is currently charged with attempted kidnapping, burglary, and
aggravated menacing (must be a fancy term for stalking).

I've played Second Life and have attended a virtual concert there and found the whole
experience rather bland. But then again I was'nt a lion hooking up with psychotic southern
girls.
