Transgender woman, 35, who identifies as a VAMPIRE is convicted of sexually assaulting mentally disabled teen while under investigation for strangling death of man at her home

A transgender woman who identified as a vampire has been convicted of sexually terrorizing a 16-year-old Wisconsin girl with learning disabilities while an investigation into strangling a man in her home is underway.

Adam ‘Sabrina’ Hetke, 35, has been jailed twice for sex offenses against women dating back to 2007, and police warned she had a “high likelihood of reoffending” when she was released in 2016.

But she was free to scare the young teen into jumping out of her bedroom window after following her home from a Waukesha gas station at knifepoint in July 2021 and sexually assaulting her.

Just weeks before the assault, Hetke reportedly admitted to strangling a man in Milwaukee after telling a friend, “I killed him.” God cannot bring him back, but I can, because I am the devil.”

Police noted that Hetke began identifying as a woman when she was released again on mandatory release in November 2020 after serving her final sentence for sexual assault.

Police warned she had a ‘high risk of reoffending’ when released in 2016

Hetke is to stand trial for the murder of mentally disabled 28-year-old Vydale Thompson-Moody, who was strangled two months earlier in Hetke’s Milwaukee home.

Five months later, she was living with three women in a house in Milwaukee’s Concordia neighborhood when she invited a young man with learning disabilities over.

Vydale Thompson-Moody, 28, was found dead in the house the next morning with an electrical cord 15 feet beneath him and marks on his neck and forehead.

One of his roommates told police that Hetke had bullied Thompson-Moody and wrapped a cord around his neck.

She said Hetke said he removed demons from Thompson-Moody as she pulled the cord tight, only to be pulled by her victim’s roommates, who eventually went to sleep, only to find their guest dead the next morning.

Hetke was arrested within 24 hours and told police that Thompson-Moody was “possessed by a demon” and had stabbed himself in the chest with pliers before wrapping the cord around his own neck.

She claimed she had managed to exorcise the “demon” and was fired days later on administrative release as investigators struggled to charge her.

Thompson-Moody’s mother Serena took matters into her own hands and managed to track down another housemate who told her that Hetke had admitted to wanting to kill her son because he was “disrespectful.”

She presented her findings to the police, who decided to re-interview the housemates, one of whom said Hetke had immediately admitted to the murder after being released from their custody.

One said he was afraid of Hetke, who claimed she could inject demons into people’s bodies, the witness said.

The evidence was enough for police to arrest Hetke again, but not before sexually assaulting the teenage girl in Waukesha, threatening her with a knife and warning her that she was a vampire.

“Because they let this person go and commit another crime, it hurts,” Serena Thompson said. ‘It could have been prevented.’

Hetke was charged three days later with first-degree assault with a dangerous weapon and second-degree assault on an intellectually disabled person.

She was given two examinations to check whether she could plead not guilty by reason of mental illness or defect, but in both she was found to be sane.

She was convicted of both counts by a jury last week and will be sentenced on June 7.

Two weeks after she was arrested in Waukesha, she was charged with Thompson-Moody’s murder.

Thompson-Moody’s mother Serena was instrumental in identifying witnesses for the case

Serena said that after his death, she discovered a letter revealing that her son had been accepted to the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater

Kent Lovern, Milwaukee County’s chief deputy district attorney, told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel that it was “important for us to receive additional information regarding the investigation before filing criminal charges.”

Serena Thompson said: “Vydale would have wanted me to be persistent. I will never give him up.’

Vydale’s grandfather Thomas Lloyd said his grandson had difficulty telling when people wanted to harm him. “He’s never met anyone he couldn’t be friends with,” he explained.

‘He was just friendly. He didn’t think people could hurt him. I’m sure people took advantage of him because of how he was.”

And he praised his daughter for finding the evidence to bring Hetke to justice.

“She collected the evidence, I’m proud she did that.”

She said that after his death, she discovered a letter revealing her son had been accepted to the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater.

“I was so proud,” she said. “He didn’t like taking no for an answer.

“You couldn’t tell him that his disability would hold him back. He just wanted to be recognized like any other human being.”
