Inside Nowak's vehicle, which was parked at a nearby motel, authorities uncovered a pepper spray package, an unused BB gun cartridge, latex gloves and e-mails between Shipman and Oefelein. They also found a letter "that indicated how much Mrs. Nowak loved Mr. Oefelein," an opened package for a buck knife, Shipman's home address and hand written directions to the address, the arrest affidavit said.

Police said Nowak told them that she only wanted to scare Shipman into talking to her about her relationship with Oefelein and didn't want to harm her physically, the AP reports.

In a search of Nowak's car, police later found nappies that Nowak told them she wore so she wouldn't have to stop to urinate during her drive.

They also discovered a letter describing how much Nowak loved Oefelein, emails from Shipman to Oefelein, directions to Shipman's house and receipts indicating Nowak paid only in cash during her trip from Houston, including for her hotel stay.

Police recommended Nowak be held without bail due to the detailed planning, disguises and weapons found in her possession, Reuters reports.
