Mord auf Kleinanzeigen… 

In early 2018, a young man tells an incredible story at a police station. He recounts how one day he was browsing the classifieds platform Craigslist and, in the “She Seeks Him” ​​section, came across a strange ad. A young woman had placed a request; she wrote, ” I want to be killed,” and the man began typing a message to her.
Natalie Bollinger was 19 years old when she disappeared in the US state of Colorado. The young woman lived in Broomfield, not far from Denver, the state capital. She attended Church in High School but was about to graduate and was preparing to become a nurse. Natalie had a twin sister named Aliciia.
Natalie’s boyfriend, Joey, reported her missing on December 28, 2017. When he came home from work at 3:30 p.m., there was no trace of 19-year-old Natalie. Joey knew that Natalie had a date with her friend Zim that day, so Joey called Tim calls to inquire whether he and Nzel are still out. The two were supposed to go for a ride together on the motorcycle, but Tim tells Joey that Natalie never showed up for the date.
Friends and other relatives of Natalie are immediately worried because Natalie has repeatedly expressed such thoughts in the past. She also occasionally uses hard drugs like heroin and methamphetamines, and a 9mm Glock firearm has gone missing from the apartment of Natalie’s boyfriend, Joey. Therefore, he and Nzel’s family are expecting the worst in the search for the 19-year-old. Every second counts.
Shortly after the missing person report, wild speculation begins on social media because there is a worrying post on Natalie’s public Facebook profile. It was published just two weeks before her disappearance. In the post, Natalie writes that a man named Shan Schwarz has been stalking her for two years. With her post, she wants to eliminate other people.
Natalie writes that she initially befriended the homeless man. Shan had driven across the entire USA to He also camped out in front of her workplace for weeks when Natalie told him to leave her alone. He then bombarded her with hundreds of calls and text messages. Bert continued to contact the student daily via email.
Her friends and family members were also terrorized by Shan. He allegedly threatened Natalie several times that he would take his own life in her presence. On December 15, 2017, she obtained a restraining order against Shan Schwarz, almost two weeks before her disappearance. Shortly afterward, she posted her warning on Facebook.
These circumstances naturally fueled various speculations. Many people feared Shan Schwarz could be responsible for the disappearance. The police were aware of the restraining order and, as a result, declared Shan Schwarz a person of interest. He was questioned by the police but was soon ruled out as a suspect in the missing Natalie Bollinger case.
He had an alibi for the period of her disappearance. Nevertheless, we know that Netzeli had expressed such thoughts to some of her relatives, and in such a state, dealing with a stalker is certainly a difficult situation. Even if Schan Schwarz isn’t directly involved in Natalie’s disappearance, the 19-year-old’s accusations against him shouldn’t be downplayed.
Schan, by the way, was taken into custody in early January 2018, unrelated to the Natalie Bollinger case, because he was mentally unstable. During this time, he attacked a police officer and was later charged. Schan Schwarz himself later claimed in an interview that the stalking allegations against him were fabricated by Natalie.
However, the fact that Natalie was even able to obtain a restraining order against him clearly contradicts this claim. But back to Natalie: her body was found by a passerby almost 28 hours after she was reported missing. The 19-year-old’s body was found in Adams County on the property of a milkmaid, about an hour from her home in Broomfield.
Next to the young woman’s body was a spent cartridge from a 9mm firearm. It wasn’t just the gunshot wound that was fatal; Natalie had a large amount of heroin in her system, which could potentially have led to a fatal overdose had she not been shot in the head beforehand. B
ut despite… Given Natalie’s history, her family never believed for a second that the young woman had committed suicide. Natalie’s family found it strange that she hadn’t left a suicide note. Furthermore, Natalie had just applied for a new job on December 28th, the day of her death. This actually suggests that Natalie wanted to take control of her life again.
However, this raises the question of who else could be responsible for Natalie’s death. The police soon find a promising lead when Natalie’s cell phone and social media data are examined. On the night of December 28, 2017, Natalie exchanged more than 100 text messages with someone who hadn’t previously been on their radar.
The intermediary, 23-year-old Joseph Lopez from Colorado, is apprehended by the police at his workplace. When the police approach him, Joseph immediately becomes cooperative. He says he can already guess why the police are there; it must be about the girl he was chatting with on Craig. This girl is Natalie Bollinger.
The police are also certain of this. However, the investigators are now urgently interested in what Joseph did with the A chat on the platform Craigslist initially leads to him being summoned to the police station as a witness, but he goes without resistance. Joseph explains that he was browsing Craigslist on December 28, 2017.
The portal basically works similarly to classifieds or Facebook Marketplace; anyone can offer goods or services there and connect them with other users. Joseph says that that morning he was browsing the classifieds section when he noticed an ad placed by Natalie Bollinger. In the ad, Natalie writes that she no longer wants to live but doesn’t dare to end it herself, so she is now looking for someone on Craigslist to murder her for a fee.
Joseph later states that he himself suffered from depression and suicidal thoughts during his school days. He thought he might be able to help Natalie, give her advice, or at least lend a sympathetic ear. The two chat with each other and exchange numerous messages. Joseph says that Natalie could n’t be dissuaded from her death plans, even though he tried to convince her that suicide was n
‘t the answer. Natalie asked him to… He planned to shoot her while she was kneeling on the ground, like in an execution, so she wouldn’t see him pull the trigger. Joseph told the police during questioning that he had finally agreed to meet her and murder her. According to reports, Jose claimed to be a hitman in the chat. The two then arranged for Joseph to pick Natalie up at her apartment.
Natalie brought a firearm herself, presumably the very same pistol that Natalie’s boyfriend, Joey, later couldn’t find. Natalie got into Joseph’s car, and the two drove around a bit looking for a quiet place. Joseph said he tried to talk Natalie out of her plan during the drive, but she insisted on being shot. Joseph claims she hinted that she was having problems with her boyfriend.
The crucial point is that Joseph initially states he dropped Natalie off at her apartment. He says he only wanted to listen to and help the 19-year-old; he didn’t shoot her and hadn’t really intended to. Instead, he dropped her off in front of her apartment after the drive. J
oseph told the police during questioning… Joseph initially claimed he must have shot himself later. However, investigators analyzed the GPS data from Joseph’s smartphone, and this data clearly showed that he was at the exact location where Natalie was later found shot dead. Furthermore, the autopsy revealed that the angle of entry of the gunshot wound was such that Natalie could not possibly have shot herself.
This contradicted Joseph’s version of events. When confronted by the police, Joseph Lopez caved and confessed to shooting 19-year-old Natalie Bollinger at her own request. He claimed he was shaking violently and couldn’t even look, but still pulled the trigger, inflicting the fatal injury. Joseph explained that the two had gone through with it exactly as Natalie had allegedly wanted.
They had been together, Natalie had knelt down, and Joseph shot her in the head from behind at close range. He then took Natalie’s purse and the firearm and drove home. Indeed, both the weapon and Natalie’s purse were later found in his possession. Joseph originally faced a life sentence for first-degree murder.
Joseph could have received a prison sentence, but he made a deal with the prosecution. He pleaded guilty, but only to second-degree murder, thus avoiding a life sentence. Instead, he was sentenced to 48 years. Theoretically, he could also be released early on parole. Even if he were to serve his entire sentence, Joseph could still be free, albeit at the age of 71.

Natalys’ family is appalled that Joseph was even offered this compromise. The relatives describe the agreement as a deal with the devil. They would have preferred a life sentence because, as Natalys’ father himself said in court, “You exploited my daughter. She was vulnerable and drugged. You killed her intentionally.
You brutally shot my child. I wanted an eye for an eye, but you were protected.” Incidentally, almost two years after the death of her twin sister Nette, Elicia Bollinger was also reported missing. She was 21 years old at the time. What exactly was behind her disappearance is unknown, but Elicia was found after a two-day search and subsequently posted the following words on Facebook: ” Hey everyone, I’m sorry if I worried anyone.
I’m so grateful to the people who rescued me. They carried out a rescue operation and got me out of a really bad situation, and hopefully they’ll help me get home. Lots of love. Whatever this terrible situation Aliciia is writing about may have been, let’s hope she’s doing better today.
She must have loved her sister Natalie very much; she even had her name tattooed on her arm in Hebrew script as a memorial to her twin sister who died far too young. I’d be interested to know what you think about this case and especially the verdict against Joseph Lopez. The perpetrator himself repeatedly insisted during interrogations that he was only acting according to the wishes of the murdered woman.
Natalie’s stepmother sums it up like this: Lopez took her life. He ended it, no matter what anyone said. He pulled the trigger. He had a choice. Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments.
