Los Angeles, January 9, 2026 – Panic gripped Hollywood today as authorities launched a massive manhunt for Jimmy Wayne Carwyle, the 49-year-old delusional stalker who believes Jennifer Aniston is his “soulmate wife.” Carwyle, armed with stolen weapons, escaped from a non-secure mental health treatment center early this morning, reportedly overpowering guards and declaring, “I’m coming for my soulmate wife!”
Carwyle’s dangerous fixation on the “Friends” icon began in 2023, escalating to May 2025 when he rammed his car through the gates of Aniston’s Bel-Air mansion while she was home. Charged with felony stalking and vandalism, he was found mentally incompetent to stand trial and committed to a community treatment facility in October 2025—despite vehement objections from prosecutors and Aniston’s legal team, who warned the unlocked center posed an escape risk.
Sources say Carwyle, described as 6ft tall with a medium build, seized firearms during his breakout and fled on foot. The LAPD has issued an all-points bulletin, labeling him armed, extremely dangerous, and likely headed toward Aniston’s residence due to his persistent delusions of marriage and impregnating her.
Aniston’s security has been tripled, and neighbors in Bel-Air are on high alert. Police urge the public: Do not approach Carwyle—call 911 immediately if sighted.
This brazen escape highlights critical flaws in handling high-risk celebrity stalkers with severe mental illness.
