A convicted killer’s online dating profile that advertises ‘no baby-mama drama’ has outraged the family of his murdered wife.
Jonathan Crupi, 34, was found guilty of killing his wife Simeonette Mapes in their Staten Island home in July 2012.
In September last year, he was sentenced to 25 years in prison for second-degree murder.
But now, he is looking for love from his cell in Clinton Correctional Facility in upstate New York – with a dating profile that says: ‘I’m not married and I don’t have any kids. No baby-mama drama here!’
Mapes’ family recently became aware of Crupi’s profile on convictpenpals.com – and the mother of the murdered school teacher is disgusted by it.

‘He has ‘no baby-mama drama.’ It was just the way that he wrote that, it was like an attack on us,’ Theresa Mapes told NBC4.
‘It was an attack on this family – like he hasn’t done enough.’
On his profile, Crupi says he is looking for romance and friendships – and willing to write to women all over the world, and that ‘race, creed or color’ doesn’t matter to him.

Share‘I’m looking for a fun, intelligent girl to stimulate my brain (and possibly my heart),’ he writes. ‘I’m a bit of a nerd, but that’s cool now, right?’
But it is the last line of his bio that is especially disturbing for Theresa Mapes, which says: ‘Take a chance and write to me soon! You won’t regret it.’
‘Will they regret it?’ she said. ‘Yes. It will be the sorriest thing they ever did if they wrote this person.’

Crupi pushed his wife (pictured together) down the stairs and stabbed her 15 times after she confronted him about sleeping with prostitutes, prosecutors said
Crupi pushed his wife down the stairs and stabbed her 15 times after she confronted him about sleeping with prostitutes, prosecutors said, just two weeks before their fifth wedding anniversary.
They said Crupi then ransacked the house to make it look like a home invasion before leaving to sleep with one of his favorite hookers.
After the tryst, prosecutors said he returned home and called 911, pretended to have just discovered his wife’s dead body.
Although no murder weapon was ever recovered and there were no witnesses, the prosecution won by showing the jury circumstantial evidence, including Crupi’s Google searches for ‘how to throat slash’ and ‘what destroys DNA.’
'HEY LADIES, ARE YOU AWESOME?' KILLER'S CREEPY DATING PROFILE BIO
In his profile on convictpenpals.com, Crupi says he is maintains he is innocent and 'not married' and makes no mention of the woman he is serving time in prison for murdering
Hey ladies, are you awesome? Like I am? I'm looking for a fun, intelligent girl to stimulate my brain (and possibly my heart). I'm 34 years old, Puerto Rican and Italian, and I was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. I'm a bit of a nerd, but that's cool now, right? I've been told that I'm really funny, adventurous, and down to earth. Oh, and that I'm handsome, too lol.
I like good books and movies, I love to laugh, and I listen to all kinds of music. I also like to dance and cook, but not together. That's messy lol. I'm a dog lover too. There's nothing like a furry best friend by your side, right? I'm not married and I don't have any kids. No baby-mama drama here!
Being in jail sucks, but I'm an innocent man and I'm working on my appeal. Patience is a virtue, and I've learned a lot of it here. For now, I just want to find an interesting girl to share experiences with.
Ideally, I'm looking for someone who is happy being single, but open to the possibility of a relationship with the right person. Any race, creed, or color is ok with me. Seriously, if you are tall or short, blonde or brunette, tattooed and rude, or shy and a prude, it doesn't matter to me. I'm open minded and I hope you are too. Take a chance and write to me soon!
You won't regret it.
Both Crupi and Mapes worked as teachers at the School for Classics in Brooklyn.
But Crupi has always maintained his innocence and told the judge during his sentencing that he did not kill his wife.
His case is now in the appellate process and he used his dating profile to once again, insist he is ‘an innocent man.’
‘Being in jail sucks, but I’m an innocent man and I’m working on my appeal,’ he writes. ‘For now, I just want to find an interesting girl to share experiences with.’
‘It’s like my daughter meant nothing,’ Mapes said to NBC4. ‘She was a good, good-hearted soul, person, and that’s why I want that these convicts cannot do that.’
She added: ‘He took my world away, he destroyed my world, he destroyed my life, he destroyed my family.’
Crupi’s attorney Mario Gallucci defended his client in an interview with Daily Mail Online, insisting that his client has a right to find love.
'He is sorry that Ms Mapes is upset,' Gallucci said, 'but he has his own life to live. He wants to find somebody to chat with.
'He is entitled to love just like anybody else. He believes he will be vindicated in the appeals process.'
