Woman Lures Man From Facebook and Throws Him Off Bridge

About this episode

In October 2023, Saul Lopez narrowly survived a premeditated murder attempt after being lured through Facebook by Natalie Fanaeka. After meeting for a meal, Fanaeka and her accomplice, Nafis Reynolds, kidnapped Lopez, brutally assaulted him, and slit his throat before throwing him off a bridge into the Escambia River. Miraculously, the victim survived his injuries and managed to flag down a sheriff's deputy, leading to the eventual identification of his attackers. Investigations revealed the pair had targeted another victim using a similar "honey trap" method just days later. During the sentencing hearing, the defendants attempted to deflect blame or show remorse, but the judge emphasized the calculated nature of the violence. Ultimately, both Fanaeka and Reynolds were sentenced to 30 years in prison for their roles in the gruesome crime.
