A woman who was introduced to a potential love interest by her brother allegedly discovered via phone call that he was a wanted criminal who had lied to her about his name and his actions.
Following the recent arrest of Kyle Coolack - a man who shot and killed his brother in 2022, according to authorities -, Idaho native Jeney Voyek has come clean about the brief time she spent dating the reported wanted person.
Speaking to KCCI, the woman stated she’d initially struck up a report with Coolack after her brother ‘took him in’.
“My brother saw him on the side of the road, a veteran looking for help”, Voyek explained. “So, Eddie took him in.”

According to the woman, her sibling was just ‘trying to help’ the man get back on his feet by letting him live at his home in Pomeroy and giving him a job.
“He’s so charismatic and so charming and can tell you the right things you want to hear,” Voyek said after meeting Coolack.
However, just days after their date, the man dropped the act and disclosed his true identity in an alleged phone conversation.
“He just kind of got mad and crazy, and just bluntly told me that he had murdered his brother two years ago,” she recalled, claiming that Coolak was intoxicated at the time.

Upon discovering Coolack’s alleged crime, Voyek rang her brother, who later confronted the reported perpetrator.
After claiming to hear the same confession, the man ‘kicked him out of the house’ and contacted the authorities.
As per the outlet, The Calhoun County Sheriff’s Office managed to locate, detain and identify Coolack - who told Voyek and her brother his name was ‘James’ - last weekend (October 20)

It’s understood police took the man into custody while he was walking south along State Highway 4.
“There was this sense of closure in this case once he was apprehended,” said Sgt. Cullen Duncan of the Houston Police Department, as per the outlet.
“I did believe that it was only a matter of time before he was apprehended.”
Following her date’s detainment at Carroll County jail, Voyek has reflected on the potentially dangerous situation she could have found herself in.

“Would he have beat me? Would he have tried anything with me and essentially killed me?” Voyek queried. “And there are times that I wonder if it could have went there.”
“I’m just happy to help them get the closure and they rest at ease that now Kyle is locked up and nobody else is in danger.”
The spooked woman has also warned others to be ‘careful’ who they talk to and to think twice before letting a total stranger into their family home.
