Denise Stalford never expected to fall in love with a convicted killer.

The 31-year-old Northern Ireland-native recalled the disgust she felt when she saw “Lost for Life,” a 2013 documentary about juveniles who committed crimes and are serving life in prison without parole.

The film started with the gory details of Idaho killers Brian Lee Draper and Torey Michael Adamcik, who in 2006 killed their high school classmate Cassie Jo Stoddart.

Then came the story of infamous Woodland Park killer Jacob Ind. “I heard it in his voice,” Denise said. “He’s not a monster. He’s never been a monster.”

Now, she’s his wife.

In what Denise calls “the craziest thing I’ve done,” she wrote to Ind to sympathize with his desperation — she said she also had been abused as a teen by “two people very close to my family”– and wish him luck in his fight to be freed from prison. The U.S. Supreme Court recently had ruled mandatory life sentences for juveniles to be cruel and unusual punishment, .

After serving 25 years in prison, Ind, now 40, won a retrial in the 1992 killings of his mother Pamela Jordan and his stepfather Kermode Jordan, when a judge ruled he was wrongly denied the right to testify on his own behalf.

A date for the retrial has not been set.
