NEW: NOTORIOUS CRIMINAL INVOLVED IN FUNDRAISING SCAM TO ASSIST KARMELO ANTHONY, THE TEEN CURRENTLY FACING A FIRST-DEGREE M*RDER CHARGE IN COLLIN COUNTY, TEXAS, FOR ST*BBING AUSTIN METCALF AT A HIGH SCHOOL TRACK MEET.
ON THE LEFT - THIS IS CHRIS WATTS. Chris Watts has been serving a life sentence for the m*rders of pregnant Shanann Watts, Bella Watts and Celeste Watts since 2018.
ON THE RIGHT - Meet Ann Crall, the woman who wrote love letters to Watts from her own prison cell. Amongst her long list of criminal behavior, she was sentenced to 15 years after pleading guilty for faking her cancer diagnoses and conning $60,000 out of her church, neighbors, family and friends.
Ann Crall is from Highland Ranch, Colorado. Her husband, a police officer at the time, would have his co-workers dedicate time, meals and assistance to her. Her neighbors reported that she would beg them for pain medications. This scam went on for 4 years, until 2009 when she went under investigation by Lakewood police employee assistance foundation. She then forged paperwork showing that she had a cancer diagnoses.
It came to light that Ann had 24 charges of dr*g possession. She was arrested in 2008 and 2009 for fraud, Counterfeiting and obtaining controlled substances. In May of 2010, she was arrested for 7 counts of possessing, distributing and manufacturing dr*gs.
Her husband then allegedly decided to resign.
NOW - Ann was released from prison recently and almost immediately began committing fraud again. In March, 2024, she was arrested for forgery. In February 2025, she was accused of forgery and was placed on a fugitive hold.
After conducting a full background check, she has (by far) one of the longest rap sheets I have ever encountered in my career of journalism.
Ann created a TikTok account called NicBella. The wife of Chris Watts was carrying a baby named Nico, and their daughter’s name was Bella. She named herself after the m*rdered children of Chris Watts. She quickly infiltrated the Karmelo Anthony camp in April, claiming to have donated a large amount to the Karmelo GiveSendGo, and claiming she had seen the Frisco ISD security footage. She forged a fake Frisco ISD badge, as well as a fake receipt to show her donation to the GiveSendGo.
She became the main organizer of a t-shirt project that was being used as a “fundraiser for Karmelo Anthony.” Reportedly, there was a moment during a TikTok live where she “accidentally turned the camera towards her face, and they were able to see that she was not the person that she claimed she was”. This is when the Karmelo Camp began to ask questions.
During a late night TikTok Broadcast hosted by a podcaster named “AFGBayBoy”, she was exposed as Ann Crall. An individual reached out to “BayBoy” and tried to convince him that “NicBella” was in ICU and not expected to survive. Then on Sunday night, “NicBella” appeared in the chat portion of a live and then promptly disappeared”. It was also revealed that Ann Crall owns an LLC in Colorado under the name of Bella Mia.
According to a source, “the jerseys were pretty expensive like $30-$40 each depending on what you chose…they were gonna have number six on the back because that's his number. And Karmelo.”
During “BayBoy’s” live, individuals began receiving cease and desist letters from Ann, clearly created by online sites and AI.
An account on X that was just created a couple of days ago has already messaged me, threatening to “sue me” if I put out this story. Very unfortunate. They were promptly blocked.
Background info, receipts and clips are in the thread.
