Husband Stalked, Attacked Then Pretended to RESCUE His Wife

It was 2am on the 1st of January 2021 when Cherokee Sheriff's Office responded to a 911 call in Canton, Georgia. They had received a call from a man stating that someone had broken into the home of his ex-wife and he found her face down on her deck with a pillowcase over her head. She was bound with zip ties and the back door was wide open. When they arrived, Rodney Metzer was on the front porch, holding onto a bruised woman. Morgan Metzer was found to have been brutally attacked. A search of Rodney's phone showed an obsession with his ex. He was arrested at her residence after Morgan claimed that she had suspicions that he was her attacker. In his apartment, they found a book called "7 ways to be her hero." Investigators theorized that Rodney had created this scheme to attack his ex, make her a victim and then become her savior to win her back. No one had believed Morgan when she stated that their decade long marriage was full of abuse and gaslighting. They had finalized their divorce, the month prior. The DA stated, “This defendant planned a violent attack on his ex-wife that included breaking into her home, disguising himself, and pistol-whipping her. He left her outside on a cold winter night, face down, tied up with a pillowcase over her head. I cannot imagine how terrifying this must have been for her. This is a classic example of how the most dangerous time for a domestic violence victim is when she decides to leave an abusive relationship.” Follow your host, Brooke Makenna, on YouTube, IG & Tiktok @brookemakenna for crime content @brookeunscripted for personal content! Sources for this episode in the YouTube description box!  We're over the killers on this true crime podcast.
