As a 13-year-old, Raymond Roland Collette allegedly plotted for two years to steal a girl's sneakers, according to his psychiatrist’s 1985 report to police. It seems there were other girls back then who reported their footwear disappearing. According to his psychiatrist, young Collette put rusty nails in one girl's sneaker, placed it on her lawn and told her where it was in a phone call.
In a recent exchange, resulting from one of his Craigslist ads, he posed as "April Love," a woman wanting to pay for the opportunity to smell someone's sneakers, reported the paper. A female respondent to his ad told "April Love" that she had a 4-year-old girl. Collette allegedly told the unidentified woman that he wished to worship the girl while she wore her sneakers, the paper reported.
Collette then allegedly sent her a picture of the daughter of a female church member stolen from her Facebook page, saying it was his 10-year-old niece. Next, “she” offered to "trade children sometime," court records cited by the paper said.
The lady immediately notified the Pinellas County Sheriff's office. Deputies assumed her online identity and began a sting operation. It didn't take long for Collette to start talking of having sex with the child, the paper reported.
