She Was Convicted of Murder, Now She Sells Art on Instagram
A love triangle turns deadly.
DISPATCH: Dunn County 911
DON SIPPLE: I have a young lady that just came to my house and said somebody attacked her.
In March of 2018, a hysterical and bloodied twenty-year-old Ezra McCandless frantically banged on the front door of dairy farmer Don Sipple’s home in a remote area of Eau Claire, Wisconsin. When Don answered the door, he found a bare-footed and muddy Ezra begging for a doctor. The word ‘boy’ had been cut into her arm and her clothing had been torn. Don, of course, let Ezra in and consoled her while the two waited for the police. What Don didn’t know at the time was that Ezra was a cold-blooded killer.
Infidelity Leads to a False Rape Accusation
Ezra, born Monica Kay, was described as a free-spirited amateur artist who had dropped out of college to focus on her love for art. Even Ezra’s car was covered in her artwork. It would suffice to say, Ezra liked to stand out.
Ezra and her boyfriend Jason Mengal, a medic in the army reserve who was thirteen years her senior, would often hang out at a local coffee shop called Racy D’Lenes. It was there that the couple made friends with the barista, Alex Woodworth.
