Here are some screenshots of my Telegram conversations with Luke Wenke from late 2020, when his romantic obsession with Ryan really started spiralling out-of-control.
Why am I sharing my Telegram conversations with Luke Wenke?
It’s not in my custom to divulge the contents of private conversations, even with people I’m no longer on good terms with. But as I’ve stated elsewhere on this website, Luke Wenke has gone to great lengths in his efforts to smear me as a degenerate lowlife who lacks any credibility whatsoever. While I’m not too worried about anyone important believing what Luke Wenke says about me, he’s made it clear that he’ll stop at nothing to try destroying my life, and I finally decided to put the truth out there after remaining silent about the situation for three-plus years in hopes that he’d finally stop.
Luke Wenke: “Nothing Bad Will Happen to Me”
In the conversation below, Luke Wenke mentions wanting to sue his romantic obsession’s (Ryan’s) family for causing emotional distress by “keeping him and Ryan apart.”
Ryan is an adult who could’ve picked up the phone and called Luke Wenke, even from jail, if he wanted to. He therefore clearly wanted nothing to do with Wenke — a reality that I think Wenke came up with any explanation possible to avoid. I don’t usually try to understand what goes on inside Wenke’s mind, but I think his refusal to accept that Ryan doesn’t want him is either the most extreme case of denial or the most extreme case of delusion I’ve ever witnessed (perhaps both).
Pre-North Carolina
In December 2020, Luke Wenke convinced himself that Ryan was going to be released from jail/prison within days and that they would soon reunite. He was 100 percent sure of this, despite lacking any logical basis for this belief. When I challenged Wenke (i.e. “what if he isn’t released?”), he shut me down as usual, only to message me at a later point in time in the throes of a meltdown because Ryan wasn’t released. But hey, Luke Wenke knows everything and is smarter than everyone, especially stupid old me!
The 2020 North Carolina Trip
After convincing himself that Ryan was going to be released from jail/prison in late 2020, Luke Wenke hurriedly made plans to travel down south – first to South Carolina, where he would visit a female friend of Ryan’s. After spending a few days in Charleston, Wenke planned to drive to Ryan’s family’s residence in North Carolina and show up unannounced at their home.
This instantly concerned me, because it was plainly evident that Ryan’s family wanted to be left alone. As you’ll see at some point throughout these Telegram conversations, Luke Wenke told me that he planned to park down the road from the family’s house and send Ryan’s female friend to the door. To me, it sounded like he knew the family didn’t want to see him, and it seemed like a planned ambush. Normal people who are welcome at someone’s home simply go to the door and knock or ring the doorbell. They don’t hide out of sight while having someone go to the door in their stead.
After learning of this plan, I began brainstorming ways to warn the family. I’ve never met them, and I didn’t want to scare them. They were already being stalked and harassed by Wenke, and I didn’t want to add to whatever stress that might’ve been causing. While I tried thinking of a tactful and respectful way to alert them to Wenke’s planned unannounced visit, I tried gathering as much information as possible.
End of 2020 Fight
Luke Wenke got mad at me for asking questions about his plans to visit Ryan’s family, presumably because he hates accountability, or perhaps because he knew, deep down, that his presence was likely unwanted. Who knows. But he got fussy when I pushed him a little too hard for his liking, and this was the last time we would talk for nearly a year.
After telling Luke Wenke some truths about himself, I reached out to someone who I knew could warn Ryan’s family about Wenke’s planned visit. To this day, I have no idea if he showed up (I do know he drove there months later, but I don’t know what ended up happening during this specific trip). But if he was on his way to my residence and someone was in a position to warn me, I sure hope they would.
My Final Message to Luke Wenke:
After sending the following messages to Luke Wenke, I refrained from contacting him until months later, when I made the hugely regrettable mistake of asking him to return a crock pot I had left at his house two years earlier, thereby reopening the door to continued correspondence.
