A routine monitoring of a crime-infested chatroom by a Minnesota detective has resulted in the arrest and conviction of a U.K. man who planned to stalk and murder popular English TV personality Holly Willoughby.
In October 2023, the detective, using the alias David Nelson, uncovered 37-year-old Gavin Plumb's violent plot to kidnap and murder Willoughby in an online chat called 'Abduct Lovers' through the Kik instant messaging app.
