Michelle Boat Killed Her Husbands Lover

I’ve just begun watching Dirty John: The Betty Broderick Story. I am one of those folks who are on the fence about Betty. I have been in her shoes. The gaslighting she endured was particularly familiar. I know what she felt but I know murder wasn’t the answer. At the same time, its been proven that those types of situations, love triangles, callous treatment of the jaded wife, can, and often do, end up with the other woman and the callous husband dead as hell.

 I can’t help but feel like it’s a rather harsh punishment for being a dick but punishment it is. Gaslighting is real. It works, but it can get the manipulator killed in the long run. It’s a dangerous manipulative mind game.

With last night’s bingeing of four episodes fresh in my mind, I found today's post subject.


Michelle Boat has been charged for the first-degree murder of Tracy Mondabough, a woman who had recently become involved with Michelle’s estranged husband, Nicholas Boat. The two had separated in March 2020 after 20 years of marriage. Nicholas started dating Tracy shortly afterward.

Michelle had already been in trouble with law enforcement for stalking Tracy and a no-contact order had been put into place in late March. She had followed Tracy and Nicholas all around their Iowa hometown of Pell and anywhere else they went. She even accosted Nicholas several times and always screaming threats at Tracy. On March 22nd, she was charged with domestic abuse, the first trouble she had ever been in in her life.

Michelle went on to be charged 6 more times for various offenses including harassing Nicholas on the job and verbally assaulting another family member. At 7:45 p.m., Monday, May 18th, Nicholas reported to police she was back at his job.

At 8:30 p.m. that same night, police were called to a disturbance at Tracy’s home. They found her stabbed to death in her car, still seat belted in. Witnesses told police a woman in a silver Cadillac had pulled up and began fighting with her, screaming “He doesn’t belong to you”!

It wasn’t hard to put two and two together.

Police went to Michelle Boat’s home where they found the car still warm with blood smeared on its exterior in her driveway. She opened the door to them fresh from the shower. Searching the house, they found bloody rubber gloves in the top tank of the toilet. A single outfit was found washing in the washing machine. She was arrested and charged with the murder. Here are the documents. 

During the immediate investigation, cameras show her tailing Tracy all over town that day.

So far, there is no information leading us to believe Nicholas was abusive or gaslighted Michelle. But after watching Betty’s story just before this, it’s the first thing that popped into my mind. Most women, even after 20 years of marriage, aren’t going to murder the other woman. They may do some mean stuff but murder? I think something else had to be going on.

I’m curious to see what comes out in court. Maybe she’s just mean and crazy and that’s why Nicholas left in the first place.  Or maybe Nicholas and Tracy drove her crazy with cruelty. It happenes. Time will tell. I'll keep you posted.

Darlie Routier Texas

I was contacted by a penpal of Darlie Routier's who gave me some of the most recent advances in her case to share with you all. I began writing to Darlie in December of 2005 and she is one woman whom I will never understand how she got behind bars. Really. You know what else? With all the information ALREADY out there about this case, in addition to the newly discovered info, I think if you can't see this poor woman's innocence, you may just be an asshole. So many legal flubs, so much question and police innuendo that turned out to be nothing. So many fingers pointed and road blocks thrown up, I am surprised this case isn't used in other countries to point to the clusterfuck we call a justice system.  I believe Darlie could have been released ages ago if the state had done the necessary DNA testing. Sadly, Texas has tried to stop it in every unconstitutional way they could pull out of a bull's ass. BUT- there is hope on the horizon. This from Camp Darlie

The Most Beautiful Girls to Ever Kill Their Own Mother

As human beings, we have trouble fathoming the idea of a young girl committing so atrocious a crime as murder. Much less, the murder of her own mother. The concept becomes even more inconceivable when it pertains to a beautiful young woman beautiful young woman with a loving family and the world at her fingertips. These girls aren't all women in prison now. Some have been released and disappeared into the mainstream. Scary, huh?  Nakisha Waddell     At age 14, Nakisha Waddell stabbed her mother, Vaughne Thomas, 43 times in their Virginia home. In court, she said she was tired of the years of fighting and just exploded. Her 15-year-old friend, Annie Belcher, helped her dig a grave in the backyard. The pair poured alcohol and nail polish remover on the dead woman and tried to ignite her to no avail.  They eventually mixed a crude concrete mixture and poured it on top of her and finished by covering her with sticks, leaves, and yard debris. She gives no reason or excuse o

Tina Brown, Heather Lee, & 16 YO Britnee Miller Killed Over Teen Jealousy

The first thing I thought of when I found this lady, Tina Brown, was that old Texas case where that mom went ballistic and tried to hire a hitman to kill her daughter's cheerleading rival. Wanda -something -or -other was her name. My sister lives close to her still. This story is even more brutal, if you can believe that. Tina's 16-year-old daughter, Britnee was on and off besties with another gal in their Pensacola, Florida trailer park, Audreanna Zimmerman. Like many teen friendships, it ran hot and cold depending on the current drama in the trailer park. In March of 2010, it was frigid and it was all over a boy. Audreanna Zimmerman Police reports say Britnee complained to her mom, Tina, and a neighbor, 27-year-old, Heather Lee, about the ongoing arguments with Audreanna, already a mom of two at 19-years-old. The trio decided to find her and hem her up so Britnee could fight her. Things got out of hand, They found Audreanna walking along a dirt road. Tina Brown u
