‘Evil lurks in every corner of this world’: Single Indiana father of 3YO lured into a cruel plot by woman he met on Instagram

A single dad working hard to give his three-year-old daughter a good life, supporting his family, putting in efforts to realize his dreams, and hoping, just hoping, that he will find a partner to support him in his path. That’s all 26-year-old Jarrell Pryor ever wanted when he went on a date, not knowing that he would never see his daughter again.

The tragedy took place in January 2025, in Indianapolis, Indiana, where Jarrell lives with his daughter Honey, whom he was raising with his ex-girlfriend. On this fateful evening, he was completing his work at a warehouse to go meet 19-year-old Alexis Hawkins, whom he had been chatting with on Instagram, on a date.
