=== Thomas Montgomery and Mary Shieler ===

In 2007, Thomas Montgomery (screen name: marinesniper), a 47-year-old married man, pretending to be an 18-year-old male Marine named "Tommy", ended up in a love triangle with Mary Shieler (screen name: talhotblond), a middle-aged married woman pretending to be an 18-year-old woman named "Jessi", and a co-worker of Montgomery's, 22-year-old Brian Barrett (screen name: beefcake). As a result of jealousy, Montgomery murdered Barrett, and the deceptions unraveled. These events were covered in a 2009 documentary film, ''[[Talhotblond (2009 film)|Talhotblond]]'' and a subsequent movie adaptation.<ref>[https://buffalonews.com/news/love-triangle-killer-takes-plea-deal/article_178b08b7-a2e3-50cf-97b8-b40e4e8d0e09.html "Love triangle killer takes plea deal"], ''[[The Buffalo News]]'', 2007-08-21</ref>
