His victims come together to put him in jail, but that doesn’t help either
Cases of secret polygamy in Western countries have been on the rise in recent years, and it is not yet clear why. However, several victims of such criminal schemes have gathered the courage to tell their stories to protect other people from such frustrations in life.
Among them is 55-year-old Scottish Mary Turner Thomson, who recently published the book The Psychopath. In it, she reveals how she turns out to be married to an American with another wife, 5 fiancés and 14 children.
Mary met Will Jordan on a dating site in 2000, when they were both 35. At this point in her life, she was emotionally vulnerable. An inappropriate relationship has ended and she has to take care of her one-year-old daughter on her own. The American seems to her a dream man – kind, caring, loving. They start writing to each other several times a day. They discuss all sorts of life topics, which leaves her with the impression that she is the ideal partner.
In addition to charm, he attracts her with a fictional story that he is infertile because a child suffered from mumps, which damaged his reproductive functions. “I felt good talking to me so openly about this problem from the beginning of our relationship, and the prospect of not having children together seemed ideal to me because he could play the role of a father to my daughter without any problems,” Thomson told the Daily. mail ”. So after less than two years of relationship, she agreed to marry him.
Reversing the tape now, he realizes that there have been signals of something disturbing in his behavior, but he has skillfully managed to deceive her, using even psychological techniques to distract himself. And the claim that he is a secret agent of the American CIA intelligence allows him to disappear suddenly and indefinitely. For example, he does not appear on a romantic trip to London before Christmas, which they have been planning for a long time. Mary is so disappointed that she is determined to end their relationship. However, Will Jordan appears in Scotland with a teddy bear holding a diamond engagement ring, and she forgives him.
She also accepted as a gift from God that she quickly became pregnant by him and gave birth to two children. She began to worry when he was increasingly away from home, but Will managed to convince her that it was because of his critical CIA information work. He even presents her with fake checks from American intelligence. At one point, he claims that bad people want to kidnap their children. I was in constant panic and believed that he was the only person who could protect us, Thomson recalls.
However, the truth came out when, in the fourth year of their marriage, he received a call from a woman who introduced herself as Jordan’s other wife since 1992 and the mother of five of his children. “My whole world is falling apart. My mind literally stopped working, ”explains Mary. In addition to being shocked by her husband’s double life, she found that he had falsified data on several credit cards, leaving her with a debt of 56,000 pounds. And after he forced her to sell her home to “pay a ransom” to people who want to kidnap their children.
Mary agrees to talk to this woman and learns that she is expecting his baby again. In addition, her nanny is pregnant by Jordan at the same time. “I realized that he not only had at least six children when we met, but also five fiancés,” Thomson explains. When it becomes clear that the two wives have connected and plan to expose his illegal polygamy and financial abuse, Will only says that everything will be explained one day. Not once, however, does he apologize for the lies and emotional harassment he subjected them to. He was first tried in 2006 for illegal polygamy and financial fraud by a third woman with whom he had an intimate relationship. “He looked bored in court and then I realized he was a psychopath. His eyes were expressionless. When he was sentenced to prison, he showed no emotion. He accepted it as if he were receiving a fine for improper parking, “Mary wrote in her book. Jordan was extradited from Britain to the United States, where he continued to abuse other women after serving a five-year prison sentence.
The chance to be stopped reappeared in 2014. Then Mary was approached by 36-year-old American nurse Michelle Lewis. Like her, she is a single mother when Will begins courting her. They get engaged quickly and he takes advantage of her money according to the already known scheme. Worried about what is happening, she buries herself in his past and thus reaches his ex-Scottish wife. The two decide to gather all kinds of evidence against him, and Michelle even records some of her conversations with Jordan with a hidden camera. They reported it to the police and he was arrested.
After three years, however, he is free again and in search of new victims. To try to stop him, this time Mary Thomson decided to write a book that would not only expose him in detail, but also reveal the methods of predators like him.
“At first I thought something was wrong with me to become his target, but after meeting other victims, I realized that we all have high scores on the empathy scale. We work in professions that require care for other people, mostly single mothers who are systematically deprived of sleep, which inevitably leads to fatigue and blurring of judgment as to whether this is really the right person, ”explains Mary. According to her, Will Jordan will never stop, no matter how many times he is in prison. She compares his behavior to a cat rushing to hunt after being locked up. She was last contacted by a 19-year-old girl who was pregnant with his next baby. She knows of at least 14 of his children, but admits there are more.
An Englishman secretly rotates two families every 160 kilometers
Englishwoman Yves Gibney also decided to write a book after falling victim to a secret polygamy. After 17 years of marriage with her husband, she realizes that he has another wife.
Eve meets Maurice in Nigeria, where he is a surveyor and she is a nurse. They get married after only 3 months of love affair. They both have one child from previous relationships, but have never been married. When Eve gave birth to their son, she returned to England so that her two boys could get a better education. Morris continues to work abroad, but often travels to see them. Gradually diluting their visits to the UK, their relationship deteriorated and they began to consider divorce. It was during this period that Eve decided to look at the profiles of his relatives and was surprised to find photos from a wedding where Morris was the groom, but the bride was not her. He reveals that he married teacher Susan Prudo in 2013 in Oman. “Our relationship was not going well, but we were still married. That’s why I was shocked to learn about the second wife, “explains the 60-year-old woman.
Tracking the IP addresses from which he sent her messages, she found that he had been several times in an area about 160 km from their English house, including one Christmas, for which Eve and their son traveled to Oman to with him, but he said at the last moment that he should stay in the desert for work. Susan is also shocked to learn that she married a man who has another wife. Morris was given a suspended sentence in 2014 for illegal polygamy.
