What happened to Rodney Metzer?
Rodney Metzer is incarcerated at Augusta State Medical Prison in Grovetown.
On the night of New Year’s Eve 2020, the evil Metzer attacked Morgan Metzer, his wife who had divorced a month earlier.
Unable to accept that the marriage was over, he put his sick plan into action.
Breaking into her house and pretending to be a burglar, he tied Morgan’s hands and attacked her.
He wore a Batman mask to distort his voice and hide his identity.
Metzer punched and strangled Morgan, who still had no idea of the attacker’s identity.
She only discovered it was him when he teased her, saying how much she would “miss her family and her husband”.
Quick thinking saved his life.
Using reverse psychology, Morgan immediately told him how much she “loved her husband.”
This stopped the attack and Metzer fled the scene, still disguised as Batman.
However, he quickly returned home and pretended to be worried about Morgan.
The cops saw right through him and he was arrested and charged.
It has since been revealed that Metzer was a master manipulator who couldn’t accept Morgan’s divorce.
His ex-wife described him as “strange and stalkerish” after they split.
Metzer also pretended to have pancreatic cancer just days before the attack.
Who is Rodney Metzer’s wife Morgan?
Morgan Metzer is a mother of two who was a victim of gaslighting and was horribly assaulted by Rodney Metzer.
She was just 15 years old when they met and the two were childhood sweethearts.
The two married when Morgan was 21 and welcomed twins.
They divorced just a month before he attacked her on New Year’s Eve 2020.
Morgan’s ordeal at the hands of the evil Rodney was chronicled in the Lifetime film, Gaslit By My Husband, where she worked alongside the cast.
The brave mother told The Sun she hoped that by making the Lifetime movie she would help others in similar situations.

Gas lighting
Manipulation it’s essentially a control tactic used to manipulate other people, using deceptive behavior to make you doubt your own sanity.
It often makes the victim feel like they are going crazy and begin to question their actions, while explaining their own.
Victims often begin to question their memory and perception as a result of psychological manipulation, with gaslighters tending to twist words or convince victims that they said or did something they did not do.
They will try to make you seem irrational or irrational, distorting reality to make you feel guilty – trivializing your feelings and excusing their own bad behavior.
The term ‘gaslighting’ originated from the 1944 film Gaslight, starring Ingrid Bergman and Charles Boyer.
In the film, a husband convinces his wife that she has gone crazy.
