As far as catfishing stories go, they never end well. Some of them end worse than others. This is in the "worst" pile.

An Alabama 19-year-old is in jail after she was catfished by her aunt, who thought she was spending too much time on Facebook. The aunt made a fake profile for a man named "Tre 'Topdog' Ellis," and began messaging her niece, Marissa Williams. 

Then things went wrong, according to AL.com: 

None

That's not it, though. Turns out Williams wanted to get away from her family so bad that she wanted "Topdog" to fake kidnap her, and if her aunt (remember, she's the person behind "Topdog") tried to stop him, she wanted him to kill her. 

None

That's when the aunt had had enough. She called the authorities and Williams was arrested. Williams admitted to the plan but said she didn't really want them to happen.
