Winters, 29, said she hooked up with Brooks, who she met on the social website Mocospace, but they didn't seriously date. She didn't even know his real name until after the weekend deaths in Waukesha.

He eventually was able to remove the key and the vehicle came to a stop. 'At that point (Brooks) took flight from the officer. He was eventually located inside a small children's playhouse.
