Lisa Willow Tyler (alias WeepingWillow17) is a web series actress and the central figure of a kidnapping hoax.
History[]
Lisa wanted to be an actress, so she worked with her boyfriend Holden to chronicle the life of Willow, a fictitious character she created in a realistic fiction web series. They planned to raise the stakes and become famous, so they put out personal ads to see if accomplices would assist them in staging their kidnappings, finding responses in Reggie and Todd.
Lisa's and Holden's "kidnappings" on live camera went viral, theories abound on whether it was real or fake. The Major Case Squad was brought on to clear up the issue, but the presumption of the kidnappings' authenticity only increased from a series of following release statements, including a ransom for fans to subscribe and Lisa revealing her real name, and Holden's ear presumably being cut off and sent to the police.
Reggie and Todd got into a dispute over the money, Reggie shooting at Todd with blanks to scare him. However, with wadded gunpowder in the ammo becoming a live projectile, Todd was killed. Holden was found and confessed to the ruse, but revealed Reggie was now holding Lisa captive for real to get the ransom.
Lisa was rescued, and Reggie was arrested. As Lisa put up an easily convincing defense of being a victim once plans went awry, she wasn't charged in the already messy case. Her popularity skyrocketed, starting with an interview with talk show host Larry King. (CI: "Weeping Willow")
