Transgender woman, 35, who identifies as a VAMPIRE convicted of sexually assaulting mentally disabled teenager while on bail awaiting trial for murder

A serial sex offender who identifies as both a woman and a vampire has been convicted of sexually terrorizing a 16-year-old Wisconsin girl with learning disabilities while she awaited trial for murder.

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 re-offending’ when she was released in 2016.

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

Just weeks earlier, she allegedly admitted to choking a man to death in Milwaukee, telling a friend: ‘I killed him. God can’t bring him back, but I can because I’m the devil.’

Police noted that Hetke had begun to identify as female when she was released again on mandatory parole in November 2020 after serving her most recent sentence for sexual assault.

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 following morning with a 15-foot power line under him and marks on his neck and forehead.

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

She said Hetke said he was in the process of exorcising Thompson-Moody when she tightened the string but was pulled from her victim by the housemates, who eventually went to bed but found their guest dead the next morning.

Hetke was arrested within 24 hours and told police Thompson-Moody had been ‘possessed by a demon’ and 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 discharged days later on administrative release as investigators scrambled to charge her.

Thompson-Moody’s mother Serena took matters into her own hands and managed to track down another housemate who told her Hetke had admitted she wanted to kill her son for being ‘disrespectful’.

She took her findings to the police, who decided to re-interview the housemates, one of whom said Hetke had confessed to the killing immediately 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 she had sexually assaulted the Waukesha teenage girl, threatened her with a knife and warned her she was a vampire.

“To be that they let this person go and commit another crime, that hurt,” Serena Thompson said. “It could have been prevented.”

Hetke was indicted three days later for first-degree sexual assault with a dangerous weapon and second-degree sexual assault on a mentally disabled person.

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

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

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

Kent Lovern, Chief Deputy District Attorney of Milwaukee County told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel that it was “important for us to receive additional information related to the investigation before issuing criminal charges.”

Serena Thompson said: ‘Vydale would have wanted me to be persistent.

‘I will never give up on him.’

Vydale’s grandfather Thomas Lloyd said his grandson had a hard time telling when people wanted to hurt him.

“He never met a person he couldn’t be a friend to,” he explained.

‘He was just being kind. 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 sheltered and got that proof, I’m proud of her for doing that.’

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

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

‘You couldn’t tell him his disability was going to stop him. He just wanted to be recognized like any other human being’.

Hetke is set to stand trial for her son’s murder in June, and Thompson said she will be glad the case will finally go to trial.

“I want to dance, I want to celebrate,” she said.
