Woman Gets Engaged To Inmate Pen Pal After Only 3 Hours Together

A Swiss woman is now engaged to an American prisoner after spending just 3 hours together.  Kim Eichenberger connected with William McCarty through WriteAPrisoner.com, which is a website that pals up inmates with those living in normal society.  McCarty is in prison for drug offenses in California.  After they corresponded with several letters, she found she was falling for him and finally decided to make a visit to the prison.  The 3-hour meeting ended in an engagement.  They’re planning a life together in Idaho when he gets out of jail in October.
