For five years, we have been busting the National Socialist Movement’s (NSM) balls – small as they are – over their continued embrace of their Indiana chapter leader and convicted sex offender John Snyder. The problem is he has dropped out of sight since we first posted him and since he is supposed to register as a convicted sex offender that means he broke the law and is now a fugitive. Now Snyder has given the NSM what would be their greatest humiliation if they weren’t the NSM to begin with. Snyder’s story was on television last night. America’s Most Wanted. We never got the full story of his crime, but AMW did so here it is. Hey NSM, it’s not that anyone takes you seriously, or even that you think anyone does, but you can at least give decency a shot and distance yourselves from this clown. And if you know where he is, end this crap.
America’s Most Wanted
John Snyder’s marriage was rocky from the start. His wife was the primary breadwinner in the relationship, forced to hold down two jobs in order to keep the couple afloat, as Snyder was unemployed.
As time went on, Snyder changed for the worse, becoming both obsessive and controlling towards his wife. Their marriage ultimately ended, but not before she gave birth to their son.
After the boy’s birth and the couple’s divorce, Snyder became verbally abusive to his wife and refused to pay any sort of child support. She was torn. She felt that it was important for their son to know his father, but she was also afraid of Snyder’s quickly deteriorating behavior.
In one particular incident, the boy witnessed Snyder tell his wife exactly how he was going to kill himself. In another instance, Snyder begged her to let their son stay with him for his birthday. But she told Snyder he couldn’t see the child until he got a job, cleaned his apartment and sought out a therapist’s help.
When Snyder claimed he had done what she requested, she brought their son to over to see Snyder. The boy immediately started screaming and begging his mother not to leave. After staying for awhile, she started to pack up her things.
It was then that her life would change forever.
There sat two sets of handcuffs, a roll of duct tape and a pair of scissors.
A Vicious All-Night Attack
Cops say that without provocation, Snyder pulled out a stun gun and shot his ex-wife once in the arm. Though physically shaken, she managed to stay alert, despite losing her balance.
As if that wasn’t enough, however, cops say Snyder then shot her a second time, leaving her in a daze. Once incapacitated, police say Snyder led the woman into his bedroom and pulled back the covers on his bed.
There sat two sets of handcuffs, a roll of duct tape and a pair of scissors.
The victim tells AMW that she thought to herself, “Oh, I’m dead.”
Snyder then handcuffed his ex’s arms behind her back, handcuffed her ankles together and put duct tape over her mouth.
After tying her up against her will, she says Snyder raped her for hours.
As if that wasn’t horrible enough, Snyder used their son during the attack, telling his victim that if she didn’t comply with his wants, he would run away with the boy.
She says Snyder also forced her to calm their son down before the heinous attack, refusing to take the handcuffs off of her.
Cops: Fugitive Takes On Hate-Filled Cause
When morning came, Snyder let his wife and son go free, but that was not the end the torture.
Until Snyder was arrested for the rape, cops say he continued to stalk his ex: he punctured her tires with nails, and tried to seal her into her apartment by caulking up the door frames. He wrote messages scrawled in chalk on the sidewalk outside of her apartment, and left threatening notes for her.
She was so worried about her safety she wouldn’t keep her son with her and she constantly rented cars, changing them out to try and confuse her ex-husband and throw him off her track.
Eventually, Snyder was arrested and sentenced to 20 years in prison. He served four years before his release. His ex thought she had seen the last of Snyder, until one fateful evening in 2003, she saw him on the local news.
After his release from prison, cops say Snyder became the head of the Indiana chapter of the Pro-Nazi Nationalist Socialist Movement (NSM). The NSM is known for recruiting children into their “Viking Youth Corp.” organization.
It had been several years since the attack, but she saw on the news broadcast that Snyder was at a hate rally in downtown Indianapolis.
Snyder has been on the run since 2004 for violating the terms of his probation, in addition to three counts of failing to register as a sex offender. He is not supposed to have any contact with children.
If you know where John Snyder is, you’ve got to bring justice to a brave survivor and her son. Call our hotline right away at 1-800-CRIME-TV.
