Screenshot of a letter emailed to Lucas on March 14, 2017. The email header identifies the sender as Samantha Schultz, while the letter is signed “Veronika.” The sender describes herself as a longtime former friend of Shiloh who had known her since Shiloh’s relationship with Onision.

The sender apologizes to Lucas for hostile statements she had previously made and warns him not to trust Shiloh. She states that Shiloh had repeatedly proven herself untruthful, would say or do whatever was necessary to get her way, and would hurt other people in the process.

The letter cites specific personal experiences, including Shiloh secretly covering a matching friendship tattoo while continuing to retain a tattoo of Onision’s name despite having easy access to tattoo removal or alteration through her father. The sender states that Shiloh never stopped loving Onision, remained attached to the comfortable lifestyle he had provided, and could attempt to interfere with Onision and Lucas’s marriage.

Because the warning was written in 2017—years before the later documentary and coordinated media campaign—it independently corroborates Onision’s longstanding account that dishonesty, manipulation, continued attachment, and financial or lifestyle motives existed well before those later public opportunities.
