Kayla Giles, 36, is serving a life sentence for second-degree murder and obstruction of justice after shooting Thomas Coutee Jr in the chest in September 2018.

She did so on what was their daughter’s second birthday and she was meeting Thomas so he could collect her two other daughters from a previous relationship for their little girl’s party.

At the time of the fatal shooting in Louisiana, they were embroiled in a divorce and a custody battle over their daughter.

She was found guilty of the murder in 2022 and we can now reveal that she is spending her time behind bars begging for donations on a dating site.

Writing on her online profile on Wire of Hope, she said she was looking for a ‘long term friend’ before adding: “As you can imagine, prison life is lonely. I believe the time I have left in here would be much easier if I had someone on the outside that I could count on.

Yes, financial support would be nice, but there are small things like receiving funny pictures or videos that would make me smile just the same.”

Giles then described herself as someone who ‘would only vote Republican’ and was a ‘health fanatic’ who believes ‘men were made for women only and vice versa’.

She signed off her bio by giving men information about where they can ‘donate’ if they were ‘feeling generous’.

During her murder trial, her defence team tried to argue a case of self-defence, but this was rejected by the jury.

And after the verdict, Thomas’s mum, Cathay Pearson, said: “My baby got the justice he deserved. She’ll never be able to hurt anybody else”.

Giles must now face life without the possibility of parole but she is hoping to write to strangers on Wire of Hope in her spare time.
