But Ridd allegedly tried to poison Rachel with a strain of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, which she bought from the dark web.
Rachel had 7 back surgeries between 2015 and 2018. She was found unconscious and rushed to the hospital for low blood sugar levels, even though she was not diabetic.
Later, Ridd was sentenced to a prison term of up to 5 years for attempted international abuse of a disabled or elderly adult and sentenced to one to 15 years for attempted possession of a weapon of mass destruction.

Rachel Took An Insurance Policy For Her Son Ryder
15 years old, Ryder was born to his mother, Rachel, and an undisclosed father in 2010. His father and mother separated before he was born.
As per the source, Ryder has autism, and so he is conversationally non-verbal.
Rachel was supported by her best friend, Janie, during her surgery and pregnancy. When Ryder was born, Rachel, being a single mom, first got a large life insurance policy.
However, Rachel could not pick Ryder up and take care of him due to a back injury.
