A woman has been accused of sending a man about 65,000 texts including messages saying she wanted to bathe in his blood and wear his body parts after just one date.
Jacqueline Ades, 31, has been accused of stalking and harassing the man and reportedly sending about 500 messages a day after they met on a dating website.
The victim claimed she repeatedly text him even though he made it clear he did not want contact.
One of her texts allegedly said: "Don’t ever try to leave me…I’ll kill you...I don't wanna be a murderer."
Ades, from Phoenix, also reportedly said she wanted to bathe in his blood and wear his body parts, according to court documents.
She has also been accused of breaking into the man's home in Paradise Valley, Arizona, and having a bath.
In footage of a police interview, Ades admits she thought there were more than 65,000 messages but insists she thought he was her soul mate and they'd get married.
When asked if she didn't think the number of messages was excessive, she replied: "Love is an excessive thing." Ades also claimed they had actually been on three dates, not one.
Officers found Ades outside the man's house in July 2017 and sent her away. Just a short while after, the man allegedly began receiving the threatening text messages.
Then on April 8, while the victim was away, he saw Ades in his home when he checked his CCTV.
After being contacted by the man, police went to the property and found her having a bath inside, ABC 15 reports.
Court documents reportedly claimed a large butcher knife was found in her car.
Ades was taken into custody and charged with trespassing but after she was released from jail the threatening texts to the victim continued, it is alleged.
Then on May 4, passersby reported Ades outside the man's business, claiming to be his wife and 'acting irrationally'.
Ades was arrested on charges of threatening, stalking, and harassment on Tuesday.

Yesterday, she said in a prison interview: "I felt like I met my soul mate and everything was just the way it was. I thought we would do what everybody else did, but that's not what happened."
In the filmed interview with police, she says she came to meet the man related to this case online, adding "I was looking for my healing angel."
Ades said she loved him selflessly and said "everybody just wants to take, but if you just give, and you don't stop giving, even if you don't receive, you all of a sudden receive a lot."
When questioned as to whether the man had asked her to stop contacting him, she said she didn't want to talk about it.
She continued: "I felt I had met my soul mate and I thought we would just do what everybody else did and get married and everything would be fine but that's not what happened."

PHOENIX --- An Arizona woman accused of sending 65,000 text messages to a man she met online said she thought that she'd met her "soulmate."
Paradise Valley police arrested Jacqueline Ades, 31, Tuesday on suspicion of stalking and harassing a man she met online, according to Maricopa County court documents. Court records say Ades, 31, of Phoenix, visited the man's home and office while flooding his phone with threatening text messages. She began stalking the man last summer shortly after meeting him through a dating website, according to the documents, which were submitted to the court by police.
Ades told reporters in a jailhouse interview Thursday that she quickly fell in love with the man, KPHO-TV reported.
"I felt like I met my soulmate and I thought we would just do what everybody else did and we would get married and everything would be fine," Ades told reporters.
Ades is suspected of sending the man around 65,000 text messages and sometimes 500 in a single day, court documents show.
When a reporter asked whether Ades recognized that sending thousands of text messages seemed threatening, Ades responded that love is "not perfect," KPHO-TV reported.
"I love him," she said.

Paradise Valley police said in a separate statement the man called the department last summer when he found her parked outside his home. Police said they escorted her off the property.
Police said Ades began sending threatening text messages after the incident, including multiple death threats.
"Oh what would I do w ur blood! ... Id wanna bathe in it," was an example listed in court documents.
Another included an anti-Semitic epithet with Ades describing herself as the "new Hitler."
Court documents say the man called police last month when surveillance footage showed Ades in his home while he was out of the country.
Paradise Valley police arrested Ades after finding her taking a bath in the home on April 8. At that time, police also found a large butcher knife on the passenger seat of her car, the court documents added.
She was later released, but failed to appear in court on multiple occasions, court records show.
Scottsdale police later escorted Ades away from a Scottsdale office building where the man worked, Paradise Valley police said.
Police say Ades told the Scottsdale officers she was the man's wife.
After hearing about the Scottsdale incident, Paradise Valley police searched for and arrested Ades on Tuesday in Phoenix.
Court documents say Ades told police she didn't want to hurt the man and sent the threatening texts because she didn't want him to leave.
Ades faces charges of threatening and intimidating, stalking, and harassment. She is being held without bond.

Well, she definitely didn't ghost him.
A 31-year-old Arizona woman was arrested on Tuesday on suspicion of stalking and harassing a man she went out with once, allegedly sending him a whopping 65,000 text messages.
Jacqueline Ades claims she met the unidentified Paradise Valley man through Luxy, an online dating site geared towards matchmaking millionaires with "pretty girls," according to Ades, in a bizarre, rambling jailhouse interview with several Phoenix reporters, including Arizona Family.
The two shared an evening together last summer, but apparently Ades wasn't ready to say goodbye once the date had ended.
She began sending the man in the neighborhood of 500 texts a day—about 65,000 in total, according to ABC 15 in Phoenix.
In July 2017, the man reported her to police for parking outside his house and, on April 8, Ades is accused of breaking into his home while he was out of the country. The victim was checking his home surveillance video and saw Ades inside. Alarmed, he called detectives, who found Ades taking a bath in the man's bathtub. The police also found a butcher knife on the passenger seat of her car and charged her with trespassing.
After the man began reporting her behavior to authorities, the tenor of her texts changed from heart sick to violent in nature, with messages describing herself as the "new Hitler," and exclaiming, "Oh, what I would do w/your blood... Id wanna bathe in it" and "I hope you die... you rotten filthy Jew." She texted, "I’d wear ur fascia n the top of ur skull n ur hands n feet," according to Arizona news station, Eyewitness News 3.
After failing to appear in court multiple times to address the trespassing charges, Ades turned up at the man's Scottsdale office, where she was escorted off the premises, protesting to the officers that she was his wife. When Paradise Valley police heard about the Scottsdale incident, they began a search for Ades and charged her with threatening and intimidating, stalking, and harassment, according to court documents obtained by USA Today.
While Ades is being held without bond, she held a press conference, telling the assembled reporters, "I felt like I met my soul mate and I thought we would just do what everybody else did and we would get married and everything would be fine." Insisting she wasn't "crazy," she called the man her "healing angel."
Ades also went off on tangents about the illuminati and her attachment to the number 33, claiming a psychic told her she had the same astrological chart as Jesus and "Jesus came to be at 33."
When pressed about the charges, Ades mostly demurred, whispering, "I don't want to talk about that," and changing the subject to something more arcane like the symbolism of the artwork contained on the dollar bill.
Though she was reluctant to admit any wrongdoing, she did express surprise at the 65,000 text message total, claiming that it seemed like she'd sent many more than that. After one reporter contradicted her claims of simply sending messages of love, and pointed out all the gory threats, Ades answered, "When you're finding love, not everything is perfect. This was a journey."
Ades is due back in court on May 15, according to CBS News.
