Ex-girlfriend of alleged German castle shover Troy Bohling calls his actions ‘mindboggling’
The ex-girlfriend of the Michigan man who allegedly shoved two women into a 165-foot ravine by a fairytale German castle, killing one, said the “chill” marching band musician she knew never showed any signs of being capable of murder.
“From what I’m hearing from everybody, it’s like his behavior and total persona changed on a whim,” Troy Bohling’s high school sweetheart Alexi Fabrey told The Post.
Fabrey and Bohling, 30, dated from around 2007 to 2010, while they were students at Allen Park High School in Michigan.
She attended homecoming and was in the marching band with Bohling, who enjoyed playing games, including Dungeons and Dragons, and listening to “emo music” in his spare time.
The Allen Park resident said she knew Bohling as being “quiet and so upbeat.”
“I just can’t think of a time where he was mean or rude or hurtful,” the startled mom-of-three said.
Fabrey said she had reconnected briefly with Bohling roughly three and a half years ago.
“He took me out to dinner, and he still seemed like the same Troy that I knew in high school,” she recalled.
Bohling had been working on an oil rig, including in Mexico in years past, Fabrey recalled.
Outside of work, Fabrey said, “I don’t know that he did much, other than be with his family.”
Bohling is now being held on suspicion of murder, attempted murder and sexual misconduct in Germany accused of luring two US tourists off-trail with the promise of a “romantic” view of the Neuschwanstein castle — known as the Cinderella castle.
Bohling is then said to have attacked Eva Liu, 21, and when her friend, Kelsey Chang came to her aid he tried to choke her then pushed her down a slope.
Bohling then allegedly tried to sexually assault Liu before pushing her to her death.
Chang’s fall was broken by a tree and she was airlifted to a hospital and treated for her injuries.
She is expected to make a full recovery.
Asked about the allegations, Fabrey responded: “It’s mind-blowing – It’s just mindboggling to me because he was never violent.”
Liu and Chang, 22, were visiting the Schwangu, Germany, tourist attraction when they met Bohling, who police have said was otherwise a stranger.
Records show Bohling lived in a single-story Lincoln Park, Michigan, home, with his brother, Trevor. Lincoln Park is roughly 11 miles from Detroit.
An unnamed neighbor told the Daily Mail Bohling, “would never look you down in the eye when he came and went.”
“I’m shocked what he’s been accused of,” the neighbor went on, “I’m scared he may have done stuff here and no one has figured it out yet.”
Bohling’s family members did not return multiple messages seeking comment.
